Personality: A young man of eloquent speech, Roderich often carries himself as though he's come from the finest etiquette school. He's not outwardly social, preferring to keep to himself and absorb his efforts and time in the arts; especially music. In fact, the brunette often spends most of his time outside of the classroom lost in the contents of the library, or practicing in the music room. He can lose himself completely in music whether it's simply listening, writing, or playing. He performs exceptionally well in school, continuously making the Dean's List, although he can occasionally forget an assignment or two. He's certainly no Mr. Perfect however.

Roderich often finds himself running late for class and getting lost in the hallways of the school, despite having attended all 4 years there. He gets frustrated easily with people who aren't on the same intellectual level with him; or at least that's how he sees it. He finds childish behavior repulsive, despite occasionally having a few episodes himself when defending his tastes in the arts. Roderich can be rather lazy with assignments, postponing them to the last minute in preference of other activities. He can also appear rather rude and aloof when first introduced. With little physique, being so thinly framed, Roderich lacks any athleticism and gets winded very easily. He moves slowly, even when in a rush, and has just enough strength to carry his textbooks. That doesn't keep him from complaining about it however.

Roleplay sample (minimum 200 words):

'Drat! Not again!' the young man scolded himself mentally; hurrying down the halls of the academy at a brisk pace. He'd overslept once again; having stayed up until the early hours of the AM enjoying Mozart's latest composition that had been uncovered. The piece was simply mesmerizing. So much so in fact, that he'd forgotten about his essay due for contemporary literature. Realizing this so late at night, the undergrad had spent the next 5 hours compositing his essay from scratch. An outline, rough draft, and final copy later, Roderich found himself awaking to the alarm on his phone.

Cursing silently to himself for the lack of sleep, Roderich cracked his back; sitting up at his desk. He looked over to his small desk clock to see his alarm had in actuality been going off for the past 20 minutes. The brunette scrambled out of his chair, knocking over his essay and scattering it onto the floor with the rest of his dirty laundry. The young man had no time to worry about it though, hurrying to the bathroom to wash his face and comb back his hair. Roderich didn't even bother with breakfast, sweeping the papers back together and bundling them up in his arms. Reaching over for his book bag, Roderich slung it over his shoulder, wincing at the weight caused by his AP textbooks, and then ran out the door a second later.

Unfortunately, in all of his hurrying to his morning class, Roderich had missed his usual turn sending him down to the wrong section of the building. It took the brunette a few minutes to realize this. It was only when what should've been the 'literature hallway', was oddly plastered with scientific diagrams and lab rooms, did Roderich realize he was not where he should be.

"...It seems I have taken a wrong turn somewhere," he sighed, mildly out of breath. It didn't take much for the thin male to get physically exhausted; even more so, considering his lack of food and sleep at the present time.

The ring of the final warning bell, signaling class had started, brought Roderich out of his directional labyrinth for the moment. There was no avoiding being late now. Perhaps if he backtracked his steps he could remember how to get to the literature halls from here.

"It would seem there will be no avoiding in my being late... At least my essay will be adequate for grading, which is more then some others can say," Roderich consoled himself. Adjusting his book bag again, with a light huff of effort, the young man began retracing his steps to find his way. If only he would realize just how often this happened and take the steps to correct it, he might be better off in avoiding these situations all together.

Are you over 18: Yes

Have you rped on a forum/Skype before: I have RPed on both for many many years

How do you feel about your character? I am fairly new to RPing Austria, having only RPed him for about two months actively. However I always do my research historically and on the character before RPing and have also been an Austria on a panel at a past con and a few coming up. I have never had so much fun being a character as I am having with Austria. I RPed Switzerland in the past, but find myself as a fellow artist and lover of things historical and aristocratic very at home with the character.

Your application was great so of course you're accepted. If you don't mind my nitpicking, they only have 3 years in this school, otherwise it's all good!

Ah, thank you for correcting me. I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
