Roger Grimdark

Roger Sheldon Grimdark is a velociraptor and the deuteragonist of Outcasted. He is an amateur filmmaker who mostly utilizes clay models and puppets of various materials, while also occasionally working with live models. He is also a general STEAM field employee who enjoys tinkering and inventing things in his lab, cooking, and painting.

He enjoys the culture, entertainment, fashion, and paraphernalia of the 1940s and 1950s and employs it in his everyday life with a mix of more advanced technology. He also enjoys reading about paranormal phenomena, morbid tidings, and scientific discoveries and advancements. Roger also has a very special interest in the process of eating and digesting materials and has a lot of knowledge regarding this.

Conversely, Roger dislikes 21st-century culture, entertainment, fashion, and paraphernalia, getting into heated arguments, loud noises, overly bright colors, and blind optimism.

Biography
Not much is known about this theropod man's background. Roger's very mysterious, yet most people who come across him find him to be a memorable person. People tend to feel strongly about him one way or another, even when some barely know him. When getting to know him well enough, he is considered to be a very interesting character- whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is up to the person to decide.

Personality
Roger can be described as macabre, solicitous, obsessive, strange, socially awkward, reclusive, prone to extreme mood swings, gloomy/sorrowful, usually pessimistic, sometimes shows optimism, having a somewhat surreal worldview, and constantly overthinking/overanalyzing. His sense of humor can be considered dry, morbid, and absurdist at many different times. He is considered to be of above-average intelligence. He considers himself to be an introvert and, while mostly pessimistic, an occasional optimist. He always tries to tackle problems head-on if he considers it possible.

Politically, he's a moderate liberal/Democrat but likes to keep his views private due to fear of receiving backlash for them. He understands that politics tends to make people feel strong feelings and wishes to avoid the subject altogether. When confronted with someone whose views differ from his, his reaction tends to depend on individual-to-individual. He tries to see everyone's point of view in things and study everyone's psychology in hopes that there can be a breakthrough and a compromise. He is particularly interested in learning about evolution, history, development, sexology, and anthro psychology (and perhaps even animal psychology as well).

He has problems making eye contact with others as he only makes eye contact with people he is comfortable with. He also has a bit of a stuttering problem and sometimes has issues trying to find the right words to express himself.

Childhood
The year was 2000. Scientists made Roger and his cousin Dominick in a lab using the ancient DNA of extant birds. He wasn't made as a fully-formed infant, however. He started out as an egg, as did his cousin. They wouldn't hatch until 2 years later. The scientists eventually stopped receiving funding for this project, contributors wondering about the ethics of bringing dinosaurs back to life, and thus, they abandoned them somewhere where they believed the two wouldn't be found by any passing civilian.

Roger and Dominick were dropped in 2 different spots, far away from each other, and thus were separated. The two share a double birthday, being created and hatched on the same day. Luckily enough, they were also found by 2 people who happened to be siblings and thus were able to meet again later in life. Roger's mother was a barn owl who was married to a male great-horned owl. He had 2 siblings who happened to be a hybrid of the two species. He was the only dinosaur in his family, something he had taken notice of. He always wondered why he was the only member of his family that was a dinosaur, and why he never saw any other person of his own species. One day, though, his parents decided to tell him the truth; that he was adopted and that his particular species had died off millions of years ago- they were extinct. He found it devastating at first but was also glad his parents had told him. It hit him hard for about a few hours, but eventually, he stopped feeling so sad about it. Instead, he was intrigued and wanted to learn more about dinosaurs in general and about other extinct species and how they got "wiped out".

At school, he had trouble making friends. He was considered an oddball for reasons unknown and nobody ever wanted to hang out with him. In his neighborhood, he had only 2 friends. He was also considered a bit of an outcast there, though people would occasionally talk to him.

Trivia

 * Roger can be considered an excellent chef, being able to appeal to the majority of people's tastes. He is competent enough to be able to start his own restaurant if he ever desired. However, he prefers to cook as a hobby and as a manner of sustaining himself, dedicating his professional life to science, drawing/painting, writing, and filmmaking.
 * He was designed to appear as Robin Grimmgall's ideal self, appearance-wise, but harbor his personality traits, experiences, disorders, history, mentality, and relationships.
 * Roger is a multi-verse character, including Robin Grimmgall's private alternate universes.
 * Although his hair may appear to be humanoid, it is actually made entirely of feathers. It is easy for other characters to guess while touching it directly or watching him pull a piece of it out.
 * Roger wears prescription glasses, but he is simply near-sighted and doesn't need to rely on them to see everything (just stuff at a considerable distance).
