Introduction
|
xxxxxNosy no-goodnik (recovering.)
|
|
Description
|
xxxxxRoscoe is an unassuming Vietnamese-American teenager -- five foot five, skinny, twitchy. He wears almost exclusively athletic clothes, usually with his hood up and earbuds in, looking deceptively like he doesn’t want attention. He has olive-toned skin, thick black hair he's been growing out again, dimples when he smiles, and prominent front teeth.
|
|
Reputation
|
xxxxxAt Xavier's, Roscoe is one of many Nu-Metheans of the post-Lassiter age -- in fact, he was at Lassiter for much of his tenure as a labrat, so he seems to know half of everybody who passed through while he was there, though whether he likes them is another question entirely. Though he's relatively well-known in those circles, he keeps a slightly lower profile with the rest of school -- he's a smart but lazy student, highly sociable but habitually rude. If you don't already know he's from Boston, you will soon.

|
History
|
xxxxxRaised with very high standards and very little supervision, Roscoe Vo spent the first eleven years of his life figuring out how to overachieve without actually doing any of the requisite work. This worked smoothly for everyone involved until Roscoe developed a mutation. Nobody took this well. At some point in the ensuing collapse of his entire life, Roscoe started acting out a little too destructively and ended up detained in the Prometheus Project, where he remained until its collapse. Not long after that, he turned up at Xavier's.

Powers
|
xxxxxX-ray vision, like Superman but without the super stuff.
|
Skills
|
xxxxxPlaying dumb, playing possum, playing poker. Minecraft. Fairly good at chess, even better at mind games. Audiovisual tech support and troubleshooting, picking up some basics of computer coding. Reading upside-down and backward, reading really fast. Limited conversational Vietnamese. Cheating at a respectable number of card games, both with and without X-ray vision. Neat but unartistic stick-poke tattoos. Hiding things and then remembering where he hid them.

Trivia
|
- Has three sisters (Geraldine, Sharon, and Antoinette, who are twelve, ten, and eight years older than him) and one kind-of-brother-in-law (Sharon's boyfriend James, who has been around since Roscoe was about two.)
- If you look very closely at his eyes you can see a lot of odd discoloration, scarring, damage, so on from infections, medical interventions to treat the infections, complications from the medical interventions, you get the picture. He probably won't let you look very closely at his eyes; for some reason he's kinda twitchy about that.
- Roscoe has stabbed three people with pens, which maybe isn't a lot, but it's a lot to have had a fairly negligible impact on his reputation.
- Roscoe is very online; though he has some fairly milquetoast social media presence he spends a lot more time gaming or lurking on image boards and troll forums. He's been permanently banned from r/mutants, but he's a prolific poster on r/prometheus, r/Xgene, r/Lassiter, and various Boston sports subreddits, and he is the sole moderator of the meme page r/Assiter. He also lurks in a bunch of Discord servers, and moderates one for teenage ex-labrats. He is by far most active in online ex-labrat communities, especially but not exclusively those that trend younger. There's a fair chance he knows someone who knows someone who knows where your friends wound up after being transferred out of Van Leeuwenhoek.
- Actually Roscoe has been very online since he was nine years old, mostly to his detriment, and it's not hard to find the vestiges of his pre-Prometheus life all over the web. All of his own accounts have been deleted, but there are still scattered throwaway accounts and forum threads that were made specifically to bully or impersonate him that have never been taken down.
- However, the first web result for "Roscoe Vo" is an Instagram pug.

Now you see it... Roscoe has a bad case of sticky fingers, mostly for little things: coins, pens, erasers, lighters, snacks, smokes. At least he's staying away from felony larceny this time.
|
Outstanding move. Roscoe loves games! Please play games with him. He is no longer limited to the games in the rec/wreck at Lassiter. He probably still wants to gamble. He absolutely still wants to trash-talk.
|
:OmegaLUL: Roscoe is back on the web with a vengeance, armed with a good idea of how easily the Internet can ruin a life and a very long memory for people who've done him wrong.
|
Legolas, what do your elf eyes see? Roscoe makes a great lookout, spy, conspirator, etc. He’s also really eager to show this off. He’ll do it for free. Please.
