redemption arc *

connections:

@rlevine - partner/romantic interest: the pair seemed to make an unexpected connection, yet one that feels it was always meant to be. everything feels easy with rowan, as much as it’s tended to freak riley out. originally giving rowan a place to escape to when work and life struggles bubbled up, they’ve only grown closer. it’s hard to know where they’ll find themselves in the future, but they’ll at least figure it out together.

@swhiteblade - brotp: absolutely ride or die until the end, will even murder a man if jamie asked. this one holds a special place in his heart despite in-ring careers splitting them apart. riley’s antics are often dialed up to 11 around jamie, though he also remains one of the few he can truly confide in.

some more deets and headcanons:

splits his time between vancouver and japan, pretty much lives like a vagabond half the time for better or worse. will probably try to crash on your couch at some point.

not super fluent, but knows enough japanese to carry a conversation.

big adrenaline seeker when it comes to his hobbies. surfs, skates, owns a motorcycle (a sore subject after being in an awful crash years ago), etc.

it's not just a gimmick, he's a HUGE metal head and fan of anything dubstep that goes ‘wub’ a lot.

was previously an animator before wrestling full time. he’s still deeply creative when it comes to art, design, and music.
