Personality
Roland is a very quiet person and only talks when required but even then he talks so quietly that almost no one can hear him. He is also what many people consider a gentleman and he is very polite and respectful. Roland loves being around people but prefers to listen rather than talk. Roland also cares greatly for people and hates seeing them in pain or unhappy and he despises racist, sexists and bullies. Whenever he sees someone in trouble he will try and defend them, often getting himself in trouble trying to do so. Roland enjoys writing and often writes down what he is feeling, thinking and his surroundings down in his notepad.

Backstory
Roland was born into one of the more radical strands of the Hearts family. His parents had questionable morals and were associated with one of the largest gangs in Vale. When Roland was 6 both he and his parents were kidnapped by enemies of the gang they supported. Roland watched as his parents were publicly executed as an example and then he was held prisoner. After his parents execution Roland kept screaming non-stop and after 3 days of screaming the gang members beat him to the brink of death, so he stopped talking all together. Roland spent the next 3 months quietly in his cell, hoping that someone would save him and eventually someone did. A team of mercenaries, organised by Roland’s distant relative Thomas Hearts raided the gang’s hideout and saved Roland. Roland had no family to go to since his parents were dead and Thomas decided to take him in because of this. Thomas taught Roland how to be a gentleman and then enrolled him into Signal so he could learn how to protect himself. Roland worked hard and graduated Signal with flying colours. Roland asked Thomas if he could enrol him into Beacon and when Thomas asked why Roland wanted to he said because he wanted to protect people. Thomas enrolled him and now Roland attends Beacon in hope of one day becoming a hunter so he can protect people.

Weapons and abilities
Roland’s main weapon is a bladed, heavy machine gun called the Jackhammer, but Roland calls it Jack. Jack has a large blade running across the bottom of its barrel and then extends an extra 30cm out from the end of the barrel which allows Roland to wield Jack in close combat. Jacks ammo comes from a drum clip and it can fire 50 rounds before having to be reloaded. Roland keeps Jack hanging off his shoulder by a large leather strap when not being used.

Roland is a fast moving fighter, constantly dodging and parrying attacks. Roland has trained to use Jack to perfection and knows almost no other combat skills. Apart from his combat abilities Roland is a skilled writer.
