[gender] Male
[canon point] Ep. 19 - Before removing Lelouch from the battlefield

[personality]
For the most part, Rolo seems like a shy, reserved young man who has difficulties making friends. He tends to have a blunt and brief manner of speaking, sometimes only responding in short sentences. When he is uncomfortable, he becomes easily flustered and reacts without thinking. But this personality is created by and also used to cover up for what he truly is. As a child assassin, Rolo is apathetic, cold, and disinterested in anything save his missions. In his mind, what is most important is completing said missions and even goes so far as to kill his fellow teammates when he feels they're in the way or possibly have learned something they should not have. He is ruthless and feels that any methods to achieve the end of his missions are the best, and "most efficient." When Rolo switches sides to join Lelouch's cause, this only changes somewhat in the sense that his drive to complete missions changes to a drive to assist and protect Lelouch. This shows in how he has no qualms with killing anyone in the way of Lelouch's plans or anyone that might come between him and Lelouch.

Despite this dangerous side of his personality, Rolo is extremely devoted to his false brother, Lelouch. The time that Rolo spent with Lelouch allowed Rolo a time of normalcy and happiness that he had never before known. Because of this, Rolo tends to show a softer, more gentle side only around Lelouch. Lelouch's affection becomes something Rolo craves, having been devoid of such attention his entire life. This is accentuated when Lelouch celebrates Rolo's "birthday", the first birthday Rolo had ever experienced, where he receives a heart-shaped locket from his brother. The locket becomes a symbol of his devotion and obsession with Lelouch so much that Rolo even kills a fellow member of his OSI team just for simply touching it. Rolo even reacts in fear to suggestions of his ties to Lelouch being taken away, such as when Lelouch offers to exchange the locket for something "more suitable for a boy."

Because of his strong devotion and love for Lelouch, it's easy for Lelouch to manipulate Rolo into believing he is cared for. Once Lelouch has Rolo under his wing, Rolo does anything and everything to protect Lelouch, their relationship, and their secrets. He follows almost every order Lelouch gives him. In fact, this drive becomes obsessive for Rolo and it shows when he kills Shirley in an attempt to silence her when she reveals her once sealed memories had been restored and then mentions wanting to reunite Lelouch and Nunnally. Rolo even sets out to kill Lelouch's true sibling, Nunnally, as well though he is prevented when she is seemingly killed by Suzaku's use of FLEIJA (a nuclear weapon) on the city of Tokyo.

Eventually, Rolo comes to understand that Lelouch is using him, but regardless of Lelouch's motivations and true feelings for Rolo, the young assassin continues to work for his brother and eventually sacrifices his own life in order to save Lelouch. He does this, claiming it to be his own choice, something that he had never been able to make when he was a tool for everyone around him, even Lelouch.

It should also be noted that though Rolo is highly skilled in the area of assassinations, Rolo doesn't tell anyone this (save, maybe, Lelouch). He pretends to be a normal young man, and his apathetic inner personality comes through as someone who is just shy and quiet. Rolo also knows this and sometimes takes advantage of it. But generally speaking, his quiet nature keeps others from suspecting his true motives or nature. The only indication that something about him might be off is that he seems to know more than he lets on.

[orientation]
For the most part, Rolo exhibits absolutely zero interest in sex or romance. So, simply put, he is asexual.

However, considering the nature of Ukiyo, sex becomes a subject of life or death. Rolo has no interest in dying. He blatantly says as much in episode four when it seems as if he'll be shot by an oncoming missile. How this firm desire to live applies to sex in the context of Ukiyo and its tattoo can be explained largely by Rolo's background.

Rolo Lamperouge embodies the trope of When All You Have is a Hammer, meaning that his entire life, he's been ingrained to believe that no matter what, a mission must be accomplished. Should there be an obstacle or someone in the way, the answer for Rolo has always been to remove the obstacle. Or kill the person. Applying this to staying alive and having to have sex to do so means that Rolo would essentially do whatever is necessary to ensure he wouldn't suffer the consequences of the tattoo. Would this mean he would have sex with someone he barely knows? Quite possibly. However, this would be only after he'd found a method he'd be more comfortable with. Rolo does not much like physical touch from people he does not trust, so he'd seek out someone he trusts first. If that were unavailable, he'd resort to something like a brothel.

Of course, should a certain be there, Rolo would probably seek out them first. This person is the only person to show true kindness to Rolo in the younger teen's entire lifetime. Before he met Lelouch Lamperouge, Rolo was never loved or cared for. However, while Lelouch's memories were sealed, Lelouch demonstrated unconditional love for Rolo, something that Rolo eventually clung to. This devotion to Lelouch is so strong that Rolo seeks to become the only person that Lelouch relies on. In the series, this leads to two crucial moments: The first being Rolo's murder of Shirley Fennett when the girl suggests reuniting Lelouch with his true sibling. The second is Rolo's self-sacrifice in order to save Lelouch's life.

Accompanied by this devotion is Rolo's apparent enjoyment of breaching Lelouch's personal space. While with other people, Rolo seems to greatly dislike physical touch (as displayed by his open flinching when being practically glomped by Milly Ashford and then his obvious motion to step away from her once released), but with Lelouch he has no issues with it. This, coupled with his devotion to Lelouch, suggests that he would seek help from Lelouch before anything else. However, should that route not be open to him, Rolo would try to find some, or any other method in order to avoid death.

tl;dr: Rolo is asexual expect for Lelouch.

[appearance]
One of the primary reasons Rolo was chosen to infiltrate Lelouch's life was because Rolo looks very similar to Lelouch's original sibling, Nunnally. With soft brown hair, a slight frame (115lbs), and petite stature (5'5" which is kinda short for CG-world), Rolo looks frail and very young. His eyes are large and a color of violet similar, if lighter than Lelouch's, though they are frequently narrowed in annoyance or cynicism. But the striking part of Rolo's appearance is just how similar he looks to Nunnally. According to Rolo's Wikipedia Page, during the planning stages of Code Geass, Rolo was originally intended to be a half-brother to Lelouch and his physical appearance is designed to be 'a cross between Lelouch and Nunnally'.

Rolo's sense of fashion, however, is lacking. He often relies on Lelouch to know what would best suit him or simply resorts to wearing his uniform. Any other time, Rolo is often dressed in clothing that allows him to move freely and has plenty of pockets and hiding places for his possessions and weapons. He also prefers shorts to pants to fit into the shota stereotype.

Aged up, Rolo would not change much in appearance. He'll be a bit taller and a bit more lanky. His eyes might be a bit more narrowed, but his posture and stature would not change much, still giving him the appearance of someone deceptively young.

[wish] To be the Lelouch's only family and the only one Lelouch relies on.
[requested house] Satouzuke Household or Kagayaku Household (Kagayaku being his previous house)
[misc notes] Rolo was in game previously and he'd already lost his virginity (but idk if this would apply upon returning)

AUDIO:
[ For a few seconds there's nothing but static punctuated by the occasional tapping noise. For those familiar with it, they might find it familiar to Morse Code, however when translated it seems like nothing more than gibberish. However, for the someone who might know the code, it will translate to something like "Brother... Are you still here?" Then a pause, as though the person on this end of the transmission is waiting for some kind of a response. Finally, a sigh. ]

Am I dreaming? Here... Again. But-

[ Louder ] Hello. Um- ...I'm back.
