Name: Handsome Bob Door: left (previously a submissive) Canon: RocknRolla Canon Point: End of the movie Age: 26 Appearance: Link History: Wiki link + Bob-specific history in previous app's history section here CR AU (Optional): he will roughly recall he's been here before but as he wasn't in game for long the last time it will be a very vague recollection Personality: Positive Trait: Caring Bob can be a charming, well-mannered and good-tempered man with loyalty to his friends and taking care of his family ranking highly on his list of importance. More often than not, his laidback, pleasant attitude is enough to throw most people off the scent of the deeper concerns settled deep beneath the surface. He is a compassionate, caring individual, and not one to run away from things he considers his responsibility. He's not afraid to stand up and be counted when he's needed, and we see this trait in him in how he looks after his friends, and also his best friend's mother while his best friend is incarcerated, visiting her frequently when none of his other fellow gang members do. Bob also has a cheeky sense of humour, something which he uses more often than not to cement his social position and show his affection to friends and other members of the gang. It helps position him as the 'younger brother' figure within the Wild Bunch, something also dictated by his age. His sense of humour sometimes comes with a healthy dose of innuendo, and can be called into play when he's flirting harmlessly, even with his friends. Negative Trait: Clingy Bob can sometimes be ignorant of the need for an extended amount of personal time and space for reflection time. This is a habit seemingly related to how close he wants to keep his friends, just in case he loses them. We get this sense when he talks about going to prison, the idea of being locked up away from his friends clearly upsets him and he persuades his best friend to take him slow dancing to try and make him feel better about it. A literally tactile experience of not wanting to physically let go of somebody he cares about. Living a lifestyle where his friends are routinely sent to prison, the sensation of only ever being a few steps away from being separated from his nearest and dearest provokes a clinginess in him. Negative Trait: Violent A likelihood of living the criminal lifestyle that he does is his exposure to and participation in violence. Criminality is rife among his social group and peers, and so he himself partakes without much debate regarding the morality of it all. He's not a ringleader but routinely supports his friends by being getaway driver from crime scenes. What makes Bob really livid (and far more likely to lose his temper) is if anyone tries to interfere with, hurt, or con his friends or the gang. He has been known to be physically violent to protect his friends, something that he would usually try to avoid but can't if he loses grip on his anger. It's something which he is willing to ignore his otherwise laidback attitude to make sure they're safe and looked after, making him morally dark at times. We see this when he' facing up to the Russian Mafia heavies, rescuing One Two and Mumbles from a sticky situation in the process despite being purposely kept out of the loop on the job by One Two. Negative Trait: Secretive Despite coming across as a reasonably open book, Bob's got more going on beneath the surface than first meets the eye. He is extremely protective of his deepest secret: his sexuality. He is able to assume a mask which allows him to pretend and act like he is a heterosexual man, like the rest of his friends. He has a reputation for being a 'lady-killer' amongst his friends, one that he's achieved by overcompensating for his true sexual orientation, and he doesn't correct his friends otherwise. Partially we know this is because he is from a time and place where homophobia exists both overtly and otherwise. But we see in canon this secrecy only collapses when he's faced with the prospect of 5 years in prison, finally coming out to his best friend. It takes time and patience to break through to the inner layers of Bob's personality, and the darker, more complex parts of his head. The self-defence mechanisms he has in place allow him to slide on an affable, personable, joking demeanour. It's something he knows promotes the idea that he's nothing but a pretty face, something he sits with for the most part, not wanting to put his head above the parapet. We see the surprise in Bertie when he tells Bob "my, my, not just a pretty face" when they are discussing depositions, and Bob makes no move to reiterate his understanding of them, actively playing along with this 'pretty face only' idea regardless.
