MYHAIR: Royce’s hair is naturally dark, and he keeps it cropped somewhat. He goes dark blonde once in a while, just for the sake of a change. He prefers his dark hair, though, and reverts back to that before long. Also, he spikes the tips of his short hair.
MYEYES: Royce’s eyes are a clear blue color, very striking against his dark hair.
MYFACE: Royce has a rather boyish face, perhaps because he was turned at such a young age. Nevertheless, he is very handsome. His bright blue eyes are accented well by either dark or blonde hair. Usually, he keeps his face clean-shaven. Every now and again he likes to experiment with a tasteful amount of facial hair.
MYBODY: Royce’s body is muscular, because of the training he has been forced to endure. His body is hard and strong, with well-defined and prominent muscles. He is a bit on the tall side, and he is very powerful. He tans well, but his skin is naturally pale. His body is relatively clean of hair or imperfections save for the brand on his upper left side of his thigh.
SPECIAL: After the first time he ran away, the Organization branded him with the initials “AP” – Anarkhia Potis – to remind him of whom he belonged to.========================================
ILOVE: Diana – the chemistry between them is powerful, and their personalities and powers fit incredibly well together. He feels that Diana is truly his life’s mate.
Freedom – as Royce has been enslaved for most of his life, the small tastes of freedom he has experienced are incredible.
Honor – Royce is an honorable man, and will always try to do the noble thing.
Deciding – usually Royce’s decisions have been already made for him, so he likes it when something is up to him to decide.
Life – despite what he has been through, Royce possesses a true zest for life, and desires to live it on his own terms.
IHATE: Anarkhia Potis – the organization that had enslaved him for most of his life.
Cowards – it’s all that the Organization was comprised of.
Slavery – it is an ugly thing that has ruined his life, but also made him who he is.
Hypocrites – he despises them.
DONTTELL: No one outside of the Organization knows that he was a part of it, and Royce keeps it that way because it was not only a danger to the ones he loves, but because he is ashamed.
His fear of being recaptured has kept him from asking Diana to be his wife.

ABOUTME: Royce is a noble man, who always does the honorable thing when he can, despite the fact that he steals and spies for one of the lowliest and most cowardly organizations ever devised. He refuses to let their cause become his, and instead he strives to be a virtuous man. He is also very brave, and will always do what he needs to do in spite of any fear.
He is also very smart, smart enough to be able to escape from Anarkhia Potis for good lengths of time, on multiple occasions. He has become more and more powerful over the years through the rigorous training that the organization has put him through, and is very physically strong.
Even so, Royce really just wants to settle down with Diana and live out the rest of his life with her. She means more to him than anything, and he wants to be able to stay by her side and make her happy. Basically, he wants a family with her, and a life that he can control without fear of being recaptured.========================================

THEPETS: None
GOODMEMORY: The summer that Royce met Diana was the best summer he had ever had. He was convinced that his life would consist of nothing but this, but shortly after school began, he was kidnapped by the leaders of Anarkhia Potis.
BADMEMORY: Anarkhia Potis found out about Royce’s unusual heritage when he was fourteen, and raided his house to take him away to their headquarters. After Royce’s mother confessed that Royce was indeed Hermes’ son, but that Alain was not, they shot both Evelyn and Alain, then dragged Royce away.
HISTORY: The first thirteen years of Royce’s life were largely uneventful. He was born to Evelyn Gallagher, a single mother raising both Royce and his older brother Alain. She had been married previously to a man named Marcus, but the two had separated after he had discovered Royce’s true father – the Greek god, Hermes.
Royce never knew that he was Hermes’ son, and instead operated under the assumption that he and Alain were both Gregory’s boys. They never saw their father, as Gregory had severed all contact with the family, and were raised by Evelyn to believe that they really didn’t need a father. When Royce was eight, Evelyn met another man, Stephan. The two dated for a while, until one day that Stephan mysteriously disappeared. Royce was too young to realize that Stephan’s disappearance coincided perfectly with Evelyn’s pregnancy.
Despite being abandoned by Stephan when he realized that she was pregnant, Evelyn decided to keep the baby girl. Her name was Jacqueline before she was ever born. Six months into the pregnancy, however, Evelyn suffered a miscarriage, and Royce’s half-sister was gone. After that, Evelyn decided to move her family to America, as Dublin held too many sad memories for her.
The little family grieved the loss of their unborn loved one, and life was solemn for some time. When Royce was twelve, two men arrived at the house to speak to Evelyn about sending Royce to Camp Half-Blood for the summer. Royce and Alain listened intently through a crack in the door until they were summoned in by their mother. It was then that Royce learned of his true heritage. He was excited to go to Camp Half-Blood.
His first summer there was fabulous. He learned more than ever about his father from the cabin that he was placed in, and had a wonderful time. School came and went, and when summer came around Royce couldn’t wait to go back to camp. Alain was jealous that he couldn’t go, but managed to be happy for his brother, and demanded that Royce tell him everything when he came back.
That summer, just after Royce had turned fourteen, he met a girl of his same age named Diana from Athena’s camp. He had seen her around before; she went to his school and no one seemed to really like her. The more he got to know her, however, the less he understood that. She was a nice girl, not really meaning to be as snobby as they all said – she was just different. More mature than they were. Royce found her very attractive, and the two of them began a relationship that summer. They spent all of their time together, and Royce had never been in higher spirits.
Unfortunately, someone else had learned of Royce’s unique heritage. An organization named Anarkhia Potis (meaning “Power of Anarchy”) was attempting to overthrow the American government. They had learned that Royce was the demigod son of Hermes, the god of travel and thievery, and figured that Royce could be a valuable asset to their cause. They arrived abruptly at the Gallagher house in the fall, demanding to know if Royce was truly Hermes’ son. Tearfully, Evelyn confessed that he was, but Alain was not. Before she could say another word, both she and Alain were shot in the head. Royce was taken away to the hidden headquarters of the Organization.
Royce was traumatized after being kidnapped, and witnessing the deaths of his mother and brother. His only friend inside Anarkhia Potis was a boy named Conan, who was about Royce’s age. The two of them were often sent on missions together, where Royce would steal important documents and other items while Conan strategized the theft and kept watch while Royce worked.
When Royce was eighteen, he managed to escape from the headquarters and find his way back to Manhattan. Being the son of Hermes, Royce possessed an innate stealth that had originally caught the eye of the organization. It was difficult to breach security, but if anyone could do it, it was Royce. He returned to Manhattan and to Diana, taking up school and camp again as if nothing had happened. He desperately wanted to tell Diana everything, but did not for fear that the organization would catch up with him, and kill her if they knew that she knew what was going on.
He was right to worry. Only a few months after his escape, the leaders caught up with him again and brought him back. They branded him with the initials “AP” on his upper thigh, to remind him that he was their slaved, and that he belonged to them. Royce was only happy to see Conan again, but that didn’t last long, either. Conan was killed by the army when on a mission with Royce, who barely escaped with his life. Royce deeply grieved the loss of his friend, and took his middle name to honor him.
When he was nineteen, Royce managed to escape again. He went back to Manhattan and found Diana, and tried to make everything up to her as best he could without telling her what had happened. He was too afraid that he would be taken back, but hoped that since he had ran to Manhattan before, the leaders would think he wouldn’t be stupid enough to go straight back. It didn’t work. After a short time, they recaptured Royce just after he had had a date with Diana, and threatened to kill her if ever he escaped again.
Royce had lost all hope now. Even if he couldn’t bear to be a member of this terrible organization, he loved Diana too much to risk her life for his freedom. He spent three and a half lonely years in service of Anarkhia Potis before he was finally saved by the government itself. The military had discovered the headquarters and ambushed Anarkhia Potis, with the intent of killing the leaders and dragging the members away for torturous questioning. Thanks to his sneaking abilities, Royce managed to escape undetected, and traveled back to Manhattan, finally free.========================================
