Personal Life

Imas (18)

Young Emery and Roman

Young Roman crashed-landed in a small town on Earth in an alien spacecraft along with several other aliens of his kind. Young Roman, who was injured, found his way into Emery's shed; where she protected him from harm. Emery brought in food and took good care of him, which led to a deep bond. A while later, local officers of Emery's town found Roman and shot him in the stomach. The scene ended with Emery believing that Roman was dead.

10 years later, Roman came back into Emery's life, when he started going to her high school.

Pilot: Roman meets Emery when they are younger and she takes care of him. However, the next morning he is shot by a military troop even though Emery tries to protect him. Ten years later, they reunite and begin to rekindle their relationship. Roman saves Emery's friend, Julia, from death.

These Violent Delights Have Violent Ends: Roman seems angered that his uncle, Castor, has arrived to take over for his deceased father, Nox. Roman gets together with the elders of the tribes from Atria and they discuss that Roman is the next in line to lead. Roman later attends the carnival in order to keep Emery safe from an assault. He manages to save her from being killed by a rebel Atrian. Roman later elects Castor for temporarily leadership.

Our Toil Shall Strive to Mend: Roman wakes up from a dream about him and Teri sharing a very sexual moment in bed. Roman finds out this dream was because Teri placed a certain leaf under his pillow. Roman argues with Teri and tells her if they are to be friends, their past relationship needs to stay in the past. Later, Roman is nearly killed, trying to find a cure for Julia, by Teri's mother but Teri quickly covers for him telling her mother that they are on a date. Roman cures Julia and makes a speech about how not all humans have a negative view towards Atrians because on Arrival Day, one saved his life (Emery).

And Left No Friendly Drop: Roman learns that Nox was hiding a phone, which is restricted technology for the Atrians. He asks Julia to keep it and later asks Lukas for help to find out what Nox was keeping on it. Roman tries to stop Sophia from entering the swim meet. Gloria later finds out about the phone when Lukas and Roman are watching the footage on it and breaks it. Roman and Emery save Sophia's life when she has an allergic reaction to caffeine because she is "poisoned" by a fellow student for wanting to swim on the Marshall High School's swim team. Roman watches as Sophia ends up swimming in the swim meet. Roman also sees Grayson and Emery kiss, which leaves him heartbroken. He later apologies to Sophia for trying to stop her from swimming in the meet.

Physical Appearance

Roman is a handsome boy, he is tall and built at around 5'10", with just the right amount of muscle in his body. His eyes are blue-green and sometimes appear paler in the sunlight or darker in the shadows, he has a defined face with angular features along with tattoos that frame either side of his face. Roman's tattoos sink into the side of his neck, and deeper into his t-shirt; just like all Atrian'and their amazing markings. Roman normally sticks to wearing tight-fitted clothes that bring out the angles of his chest, arms and legs and these can be things such as t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, jackets, jeans and boots - an overall 'bad boy' persona. He looks quite similar to his sister, Sophia and also has a wound on his stomach; which was given to him on arrival day where he was shot - Pilot episode. The wound looks somewhat like a small 'X' on his abdominal area. In This Trick May Chance to Scathe You, Roman gets stabbed by his Uncle Castor with a poisonous knife and runs to Emery's shed to get away from Castor. In Passion Lends Them Power, Emery runs to the Sector to get Teri's help to save Roman's life and once Roman is all healed up with Syper and Atrian blood it leaves a scare on his abdominal area. Roman also wears a necklace around his neck, which holds some kind of charm and has resemblance to him as well - he always wears this necklace, as you can see in past episodes. 

Personality

Roman is heroic, brave and fearless. He lives each day to the fullest and shows his true colours, despite being an Atrian on earth; he is always himself, he never lets other people tell him what he can or cannot be. Roman is very protective over the people he loves, especially his sister Sophia and his girlfriend Emery, his mother and other Atrian'sFrom the first day, on arrival day he met Emery ; he has always been captivated by her kindness, willingness to help, selflessness, and her ability to overlook what Roman was and help him survive. He has thought about her countless times and has always shared a deep bond despite their differences in species and lifestyle. When Roman's father - Nox died, he remained strong in a time of devastation, he did not blame others or become angry over his death; he merely continued doing what he did best, which was leading the Atrian'and looking after his family, despite his father's absence. Unlike other Atrian'sRoman does not hate the humans, he understands that Earth is their planet and from his point of view, it really seems that they are invading; he remains positive that the human's and Atrian'will be able to survive together under all the circumstances and he cares for the survival of both races.
