personality evaluated.
while some may choose to see rodney thayer as a great dad and a fun guy to be around, others will only know him for being an insensitive asshole. both perspectives are actually true. his playful and outgoing nature can easily draw people to him, and it may make him someone that aspiring stunters are eager to meet. on the other hand, he is unpredictable in the fact that you never know how an encounter with him is going to end. where he may joke and laugh with a stranger one day, the next day he just may decide to push some random person's buttons and start a full-blown argument. for some reason, he seems to take delight in pissing off other people and seeing just how close he can get them to the edge before they blow up. he's definitely the guy that would walk into a bar on the night of a big cubs game, entirely decked out in sox gear... even if he doesn't like the sox. he just loves getting a reaction out of people. it's the perfect excuse for him to argue and take all of his raging anger out on someone.

oh and by the way, rod's on meds. yeah, that's just how serious his anger problems are. oh don't get me wrong, rodney can be the smoothest and most charming guy you ever meet. but do or say the wrong thing and he'll snap. road rage, fist fights, breaking objects, punching holes in walls, you name it and he's completely capable of doing it. hell, he's most likely done all of it at one point or another. but the one thing rodney would never do is hurt his own son. he makes sure that little malik stays out of harm's way, and he even goes so far as to keep him away from celebrity children so that they won't "taint" him. some may call it overprotective, but he just wants the best for his kid and to him part of that means making sure that malik grows up humble and grounded. although rod always has been and always will be a "bad boy", he makes sure that he keeps his drama away from his kid. that means no inviting any of his booty calls to the house, no drinking around his son, and keeping as clean a mouth as possible in front of him.

in fact when it comes to his son, rodney shows a surprising degree of patience for someone who has anger problems. he calmly deals with all of the annoying questions only a ten year old could think of, cleans up malik's messes while he's at school, and tells him stories until he falls asleep. and of course rodney spends plenty of time taking malik out to places and joking around with him; naturally, a stunt double dad who makes thousands of dollars isn't going to let his kid live a boring life. but don't let all this sentimental hub-bub distract you from the other side of rod's personality. after all, he is still an insensitive jerk. come on, he tricked his twin brother's girlfriend into sleeping with him, ended up getting her pregnant, and now he's in custody of their kid. he doesn't give a damn what people think and he has no problem using people for his personal gain or humiliating someone in public. (he has been known to cuss out a camera man or some lower-ranked crew member on a set.) but hey, that's rodney thayer for ya. he just don't give a shit!

history evaluated.

[/b] rodney didn't come from a completely happy home. sure his parents wanted the best for their twin boys, but they weren't perfect. they argued a lot and the boys often witnessed their father beat their mother. he even lashed out at rodney a few times, which probably led rodney down the path he chose...

• between him and his brother, rod was known as the "badass" when they were coming up. he was the disruptive, annoying little boy in grade school that got into mischief and caused hell: talking back, not doing his work, conning kids out of their lunch money, putting glue in the hair of the girl in front of him... he was pretty much every teacher's little terror.

• as he grew older and transitioned into high school, rod became more rebellious. he began hanging around a different crowd and experimenting with drugs. he soon resorted to selling weed to other students in his high school, but was eventually caught and expelled. he had to begin his sophomore year in a different high school.

• rodney eventually joined a gang and began to sell and use drugs more regularly. he participated in a lot of reckless and violent activities with them, including blowing up a police car, setting a building on fire and beating a homeless man to near death. he partied more and began to care less about his schoolwork. he ended up flunking out and had to again be transferred to another school.

• it was in his last years of high school that he was charged with domestic violence. there had been whispered rumors of one of his ex-girlfriends claiming that he beat her and broke her arm. two other girls actually pressed charges against him on two different occasions.

• thankfully, rodney ended up graduating high school (though just barely), but dropped out of college after one year. actually he was kicked out of college due to significantly poor academic records. either way, he didn't return. he was sent to jail after being caught selling cocaine. since being released from jail, he turned away from drugs and began to look for a new outlet for his aggression. not planning on going back to college, he picked up several jobs such as being a bouncer, a personal trainer, and even a bodyguard.

• there was no particular reason why he had gotten into the entertainment industry. he had never aspired to be in movies. it all just started randomly. it was during a time that he was really in need of money and he was willing to do almost anything. well he saw a posting looking for people to audition for a movie role. of course he didn't get it, but the experience was mesmerizing and gained his interest. so in between work, he auditioned for another role. and another. he finally landed a small background role for some action flick. but on the set, it wasn't really the acting he was intrigued by. it was the stuntmen, who got to get paid to do all this outrageous, adrenaline-rushing stuff. it was almost perfect for him. he had never really had a thing for the hollywood spotlight anyway. it was a great way to get money and have fun with your career, while still having a private life and staying out of the hollywood drama.

• in his late 20's, rodney made a life-changing decision, though he hadn't known it at the time. for him, it was just another act of insensitive selfishness. rodney had always been jealous of his twin brother, jesse, in a sense. he was known as the "golden boy", the son that actually had potential, who wouldn't likely end up dead or in jail. and he had always had a thing for jesse's new girlfriend... so naturally, he would trick her into sleeping with him one night. it really isn't that hard when the girl is drunk and you look just like her boyfriend. just make sure you're gone before the next morning and, voila, everything's good. you get good sex, she forgets, and everyone moves on...right?

• well, one month later, rodney hears that the girl is pregnant. she's convinced that it's jesse's, but he doesn't buy it 'cause he has common sense and always "wraps it up". so when she defensively brings up that night, jesse snaps everything into place and realizes what his trusty brother did. there was a pretty nasty confrontation after that and since then, jesse hasn't spoken to rodney. and the girl? well, she was stuck pregnant and unlucky. things weren't the same with her boyfriend and of course the only interest her new baby daddy ever had in her was the fact that she was hot and his brother's girlfriend.

• when malik was born, his mother hadn't been ready to raise a child. she was only twenty three and still quite fresh out of college with a life ahead of her. so she decided to give him up for adoption. but rodney stepped in and offered to take care of the baby himself. after all it was his son and his responsibility, and he wasn't going to be the father that his father was. scared and panicked, and relieved not to be weighed down by a baby, the girl complied. she moved on with her life and rodney never contacted her again. he later moved to l.a. with his son, and he has since been living out his days raising malik and enjoying his career.[/ul]

roleplay sample.

The second Rome had turned back to Sabrina he knew that he had managed to strike the smallest of nerves. Not the biggest of accomplishments, but it would have to do until he figured out a way to chip a little more away from her tough shell. Regardless, it still gave him a small sliver of satisfaction knowing that he wasn't completely unarmed in Sabrina's childish battles of slander and mockery. But of course being able to fight back was one thing -- winning was another. Roman rolled his eyes in annoyance at her smug little retort. Just because he had money didn't mean he had to walk around talking like he had come straight out of a Shakespeare play. And at least he was civil enough not to let every other word that came out of his mouth be some type of a swear. Really, Sabrina Salwart talking about bad language? It was almost as farfetched as being lectured on bad hygiene by a dead man. Almost.

Initially Roman chose to ignore her comment; he would be the bigger man and bite his tongue. At least as long as he could manage. Instead he chose to glare at her in annoyance as she picked at her nails, pretending that she'd just discovered something so fascinating that she just couldn't take her eyes away. Even as she spoke she didn't toss him not even the smallest of glances. He hated how she could brush him off so easily on something that he considered a pretty big deal. He'd been ditched by his girlfriend and was left to deal with Sabrina's crazy mood swings by himself for a whole meal. That was more than a big deal. "Of course, wouldn't want to upset the princess," he murmured under his breath. He spoke louder so she could hear his next words more clearly. "Oh and that language isn't very becoming of a young lady. Just friendly advice," he said, feigning a smile and throwing in a small wink for extra effect.

Their table fell silent. All around them the room was buzzing with excited chatter, the clinking of dishes, and the gentle tones of jazz music. But the air between Rome and Sabrina was dead, only alive with the unseen fire burning between them. He'd definitely hit a soft spot. Of course she wouldn't show it. Though Rome would never openly admit it, she was like him in that sense. They were both good at hiding their feelings; pulling a blank face and keeping their true feelings confined somewhere deep inside where no one could find them. But he could easily tell by her silence that she was infuriated with him at that point. It was so strong he could just feel it radiating from her. Oh the sheer pleasure of it. Roman just sat there and returned her stare with a pleasant smile, as if there wasn't a care in the world. He leaned forward slightly and folded his hands on the table as he waited for her reaction.

One thing he definitely hadn't expected was for her to burst out laughing like a hyena. His lips twitched as the smile he'd plastered on his face slowly faded away. Rome's eyes discretely cut to the tables around them. He shifted in his seat when he saw a few disgusted looks cast their way as the other customers tried to see what uncivilized person would produce such a hideous noise. Okay so he wasn't the type to always try to conform to other people's standards to fit in, but this was just embarrassing. Did this girl even know what manners were? Apparently not judging by the ignorant way she'd lifted her feet off the ground and placed them in the chair. If this wasn't the date from Hell, he didn't know what was. Regaining his composure, Roman lifted an eyebrow at her and cleared his throat, trying to ignore the fact that her dirty feet were in a chair she couldn't afford with her yearly income.

"One, he's not my father in case you forgot, Princess," he started, emphasizing the sickening pet name he'd decided to brand her. If he was lucky, it would take that smug little grin on her face and blow it completely off the radar. "Two, I have plenty of money to last me a lifetime, so don't worry your little heart about that." Okay maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration, but not like she needed to know anyway. "And third, I don't believe in wasting money when you can spend it on something far more valuable." Ooh that last one was kind of harsh, even for Rome. But he didn't care anymore. He was sick of having to deal with her bullshit all the time and he wasn't going to sit around and let this little feud escalate into anything bigger than it needed to be. Either she could sit here and agree to be at least halfway reasonable, or she could just get the hell out. It didn't matter to him either way. Still cool, calm and collected, Rome glanced around the room and signaled for a waiter to come by. He was starving over here and service was going extremely slowly today. The least he could get at that moment was some food. At least it'd have two purposes: a hot meal and a good distraction.
