Character Interview || Repost, don't Reblog
NAMEĀ : Ā Robert Edward Orville Speedwagon
NICKNAMEĀ :Ā Boss, aniki,Ā ābastard!ā/"that son of a bitch!ā (usually from rival gang members, so the insult varies sometimes lol), Rob (used by a few friends), derivatives of his last name āSpeebs, Speeds, Speeb, Speedy, etcā but these he will only accept them from certain people, otherwise he will do his best not to cringe on the spot or will do it inwardly. Uncle Speedy and etc later on (as in once George and the rest of the children come into his life, more specifically~).
AGEĀ : Ā 25 in the main verse (may vary depending on the verse)
SPECIESĀ :Ā Human/Stand user in the main/time-travel verse | Vampire in the vamp!verse | Werefox in the monster!verse
āā Personal! ā”
MORALITYĀ :Ā Ā Ā lawful Ā / Ā chaotic / Ā good Ā / Ā neutral Ā Ā /Ā Ā evilĀ / Ā true .
RELIGION Ā : Ā Non-practising catholic (was raised as Catholic, like most other Victorians, believes in God, but thatās pretty much about it)
SINS Ā : Ā Ā greed Ā / Ā gluttony Ā / Ā sloth Ā /Ā Ā lust Ā Ā / Ā prideĀ / Ā Ā envy Ā Ā / Ā wrath Ā .
VIRTUES : Ā Ā chastity Ā / Ā charity Ā / Ā diligence Ā / Ā humility Ā / Ā kindness Ā /Ā patienceĀ / justice.
KNOWN LANGUAGES : Ā English is his first language. Conversational Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, German and some more. Some conversational Mandarin Chinese as well (this one thanks to Li ācanonly known as Kenpo, his Ogre Street friendā) and bits of Irish (this one thanks to Tattoo, his other Ogre Street friend). He can read and understand some Japanese (kana and some okurigana/kanji) but canāt really speak or write it. Same case for some other languages that he can also recognize and more or less understand bits of them but canāt really speak them. As you probably guessed, heās learned most of these through his many journeys around the world.
SECRETSĀ :Ā All of the stuff in regards to the stone mask and all the events and incidents that came out from that (it was stated that the only ones who know everything about it from start to end are Jonathan and Speedwagon, the others who might know a great deal of it would be Straizo and Master Tonpety). He also tries to keep a low profile in regards to his homosexuality whenever heās out of the slums to save himself some trouble due to the stigma at the time and the potential legal consequences, going only for the gay codes of the time (long hair, cleanly shaven face, colorful accessories, etc) so I guess that could count? Other than that, and in the verses that it applies, his stand mayhaps?? Thatās what allows him to leap through timelines in the time travel verses (it possesses other abilities and skills but, since Robert doesnāt even know about his standās existence yet, he hasnāt trained with it and thus he doesnāt know about any of itās abilities, not even about the time travel oof).
āā Physical! ā”
BUILD : Ā Ā scrawny Ā / Ā bony Ā / Ā slender Ā / Ā fit Ā / Ā athletic Ā / Ā curvy Ā / Ā herculean Ā /Ā pudgyĀ / Ā average Ā .
HEIGHTĀ : Ā 5ā11ā, close to the 6ā mark (181 cms)
SCARS Ā / Ā BIRTHMARKSĀ :Ā Ā The most recognizable one is the scar marring the left side of his face (going from the top of his nose to his jaw), but he has plenty more scattered all over his body, some more visible than others, some larger than others. Most of them come from fights and his general criminal lifestyle, some of them even come from some of the torture sessions heās endured as part of that (so it isnāt surprising that they were either caused by knives, gunshots, burns, shards of glass and etc). Most of his scars are located on his chest and arms, some more on his hands/wrists and fingers (hands/wrists and fingers mainly from when he was learning to use his buzzsaw hat), though he has a few more on his legs/thighs, lower abdomen, and a couple more on his back. In the main verse (usually set in the late stages of PB), he will have a few more from the events in PB āburn scars on his hands from the fire at the Joestar mansion, one on his shoulder from the attack he received from Jack the Ripper, an ice burn across his abdomen from thawing Zeppeliās arm, and a couple more and not so visible ones on his arms from minor injuries (cuts) he got while fighting and fending off zombiesā. Most of the āPB scarsā arenāt too visible thanks to Jonathan (he used his hamon to heal Speedwagonās injuries shortly after).
ABILITIES Ā / Ā POWERSĀ :Ā Heās able to tell an evil person from a good one by their smell alone. Heās a resilient man and quite a strong one, too (stronger than the average guy, as he was shown killing zombies using his brute force only and a sledgehammer). He's good at hand to hand combat, heās also good at using knives and guns, and at wrecking shit with a sledgehammer. I also hc that he's capable of creating veeeeeery small amounts of hamon (this as a result of Zepp's "accidental" slip) if he really puts his mind into it. Due to his current limitations with it, his hamon canāt be used for fighting, but it does enhance his healing process, making it slightly faster than that of an average human (with some proper training, chances are he might be able to do more with it, tho). His stand, in the verses where he has it, can perform time travel, which happens at random at first (he gradually gains control on his stand once he learns about it and starts training with it). Due to stands being a reflection of sorts of their user and their fighting spirit, and as an extension of Robertās own hamon healing abilities, his stand also possesses healing abilities that can be used both on himself and on others, though this requires some training prior, as the healing relies entirely on Speedwagonās own life force and can be fatal for him if used carelessly at first (once properly trained, it wonāt represent a real danger for him to use). Much like Robert himself, his stand is also capable of packing some punches and causing serious damage on itās opponent despite his stand being more of a āsupportā stand rather than a fully combat based one.
RESTRICTIONS Ā :Ā He's mostly a regular human in the main verse, so heās at a great disadvantage against stronger supernatural beings such as vampires and pillarmen, for example. As stated above, the amounts of hamon he can currently create are small and, thus are difficultĀ āalmost impossibleā to use for combat (again, this can change if he gets some proper training). His lack of knowledge on his standās existence can also count as a restriction for the time being, as he doesnāt know about it or itās abilities and, thus, canāt use it at his will for now (it operates mostly in an āunconsciousā level at first, usually after getting triggered). He also tends to wear his heart in his sleeve when it comes to the few people he truly holds dear and considers special to him, so that can be used against him if heās not careful enough.
āā Likes / Scents! ā”
FOODĀ :Ā Ā He isnāt really picky with food since he grew up in absolute poverty and sometimes went for days without a single bite of food or eating stale (sometimes even moldy) food so likeā¦ heās cool with pretty much anything nowadays. Heās also an adventurous man, so heās always open to trying new and even āexoticā stuff. Other than that, pastries are one of his top fave things ever (creamy ones mainly but not exclusively).
DRINKĀ : Ā Tea ācitrusy/fresh types mainly like lemongrass, same with berry teasā. He doesnāt mind sweeter teas but, since he usually has them with the pastries, he prefers something more āsourā to balance things out. He also likes coffee, liking it strong, kind of sweet, and hot (just how he likes his men lol). As for alcoholic drinks, heās all for beer and gin. He also enjoys some of the sweeter āposhā wines Jonathan normally has at his home.
PIZZA TOPPINGĀ :Ā As far as I know, pizza toppings werenāt as creative and ācrazyā in the 19th century as they have been over the last few decades, so heās only used to more ātraditionalā stuff like variants of Pizza Margherita, for example. However, in the time travel verses/modern!AUs he will definitely try all kinds of pizza toppings (yes, this includes pineapple pizza as well as entirely sweet pizza toppings and so on) and actually likes some of them.
COLOURĀ :Ā Ā Purple (shades like those of his waistcoats i.e.), pink, greeeeeeenvert, black.
MUSIC GENREĀ :Ā Ā More than a genre itself, he enjoys and appreciates music that can make him feel something. Toss some pub songs there for obvious reasons lol.
BOOK GENREĀ : Ā Ā General fiction mostly. He also enjoys reading some romance novels every now and then whenever he gets the chance to get his hands on a gay romance one, either featuring two males or two females (he doesnāt find the appeal in ātraditionalā ones for a variety of reasons).
MOVIE GENRE Ā :Ā Ā Non-applicable in the main verse. Time travel verses āif he even gets the chance to watch a movieā and even in a modern!AU, his go to genres would probs be similar to his book genres, lol, just add some comedy there but like, not the ācheapestā and cringey kind of comedy.
SEASON Ā : Ā Ā Autumn and Winter (harsh winters are a pain in the ass in Ogre Street, but he can handle them fairly well overall)
CURSE WORD : Ā Fuck / Shit / Bloody and variants of it (like Bloody Hell) / Arsehole / Wanker / Damnit / Bollocks, Ballocks and all of itās variants / Bastard / Motherfucker / Zounderkite (victorian for āidiotā but with even harsher and ruder connotations than just using āidiotā lol) / Beardsplitter (one of the victorian words for āpenisā xd). There are plenty, plenty, more but those are the ones I can think of rn. He comes from the darkest pits of the slums after all, so yeah... Lots of cussing can be expected.
SCENT ( S ) Ā :Ā Ā Sweet and masculine musky scent, mainly, with an occasional subtle note of gunpowder and/or tobacco depending on whatever tf heās been doing. Maybe a vague note of blood if he just got out of a fight. Some vague vanilla too but that one only around the time when he lands a temporary job in a bakery in London.
āā Fun Facts! ā”
BOTTOM OR TOP Ā : Ā Top leaning verse. He only bottoms occasionally for serious/long term boyfriends that he genuinely trusts, partly due to how being a bottom was (wrongly) perceived as being submissive by most people, and how dangerous being seen as such can be in a place like Ogre Street if the word gets out (not to mention that thereās been people there who have given him shit just for being gay), and partly because he also prefers to top and likes it better, lol.
SINGS IN THE SHOWERĀ :Ā Ā Yeah. He started doing it as a child as a way to keep his mind distracted from how cold as fuck the water heād wash himself with was (he usually bathed in rivers or washed himself with buckets of water some maid forgot outside of a household and that he managed to steal). Heās become a lot more used to cold baths over the years so a distraction is not necessary anymore, however, he still sings or hums sometimes whenever he has a song stuck in his head or if heās particularly happy about something (this continues later on in life as well,even after cold baths are no longer part of his life, so itās a habit that he never actually leaves).
LIKES PUNSĀ :Ā Ā He loves them! Lame ones, good ones, cheesy ones, silly ones, witty ones, dirty/vulgar ones, etc. Heck, even dad jokes can be found in his repertoire! Chances are that, if you come to him with a pun or joke, he will give you one or two (maybe even more) in return.
