xxxxx This important characteristic might have made Ross a great candidate for the military, but he finds most legal agencies' justice inadequate. Putting a despicable guy in prison for ten or twenty long years isn't going to change 'em, in his opinion. If it came down to it, Ross would rather just weed out society's trash. He's able to speak passionately, convincingly about his extreme ideal of justice. Ross will do anything it takes to defeat the Digi|Destined.
fiery﹚
xxxxx Loud and proud, quick to anger, plain old fiery. Ross is an open book, he can't hide his emotions even if he wants to. This makes him a great bartender-- Or not? He comments actively, but not necessarily in ways customers will enjoy. Although people who hang out in bars don't seem to care, when Ross is out in public parental figures seem to want to wash his mouth out with soap… That or just shut him up.
rebellious﹚
xxxxx If someone says left, Ross is going to go right. He smokes, he drinks, he acts out in general, and he does it because he knows that it pisses people off-- Especially his father-- Aggression fascinates Ross. When Ross isn't ignoring advice completely, he doesn't take it well. Most of the time he knows what he's getting himself into, but he still jumps into things. When he chooses a course of action, he likes to see it through to the end. No matter what.
mischievous﹚
xxxxx From little pranks like stopping short of slapping someone to large scale ones like setting off firecrackers in a hallway, Ross does it all. He expects people to laugh at that kind of stuff, but… Some people just don't think he's being funny. Ross isn't a major flirt, but when the mood strikes him, he can charm an attractive person. Usually without intention to get serious, though.
good-hearted﹚
xxxxx When Ross deems someone a good person-- That's anybody who hasn't earned themselves a TV spot on the late night news-- He won't do anything to harm them… At least not intentionally, and he will do everything he can to protect them. Yes, even the annoying people are worth protecting if they're harmless, in Ross' opinion. He's pretty damn altruistic and he even has a soft side for certain things-- BlackGuilmon/"Red," for example-- And people. Ross makes an effort to tune down his brashness in the presence of what he considers dear, if the situation's dire enough.Likes:

xxxxx ROSS IS THE SON OF A USN GENERAL WHOSE WIFE DIVORCED HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO DIFFERENT. SHE WAS A HIPPIE AND HE WAS WELL, A GENERAL. MUCH LATER ON IN HIS LIFE, ROSS WOULD BLAME HIS MOTHER FOR HIS HARD TO FIGHT, ALTRUISTIC NATURE. ROSS' CHILDHOOD WAS THAT OF A TYPICAL MILITARY BRAT… WITHOUT THE LONELINESS. BEING A PRODIGY, IT DIDN'T TAKE HIM THAT LONG TO ADJUST TO INEVITABLE SEPARATION. HE STARTED MAKING THE MOST OF HIS LIFE WHEN HE BEGAN MIDDLE SCHOOL.
xxxxxWHEN HE WAS YOUNG, ROSS SOAKED UP INFORMATION LIKE A SPONGE. HE WAS A JACK-OF-ALL TRADES PRODIGY. ROSS GREW TIRED OF EXCELLING AT TASKS QUICKLY, BUT NEITHER HIS FATHER NOR HIS PEERS GOT TIRED OF WATCHING HIM EXCEL. THE ONLY SKILL HE'S ACQUIRED THAT HE CONSIDERS ENGENIUS IS PLAYING PIANO, THOUGH HE'S A STRATEGIC GENIUS AT THE PRESENT… THE PERFECT ENEMY TO THE DIGI|DESTINED, BUT THAT'S OFF TOPIC-- ALMOST, AT THIRTEEN YEARS OLD, IN SEVENTH GRADE, YOUNG ROSS FELL VICTIM TO THE CHILDRENS' PLAGUE.
xxxxxHE GOT A TEXT THAT ASKED, "ARE YOU THE CHOSEN ONE?" HE SHRUGGED AND THOUGHT, 'SURE, WHY NOT?' HE RESPONDED WITH A, "YES." HE WOULD FIND HIMSELF ABOUT TO START FRESHMAN YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL UPON WAKING FROM A YEAR LONG COMA. ROSS ALMOST FAINTED HIMSELF INTO ANOTHER COMA WHEN HIS FATHER INFORMED HIM THAT HE NEARLY DIED WHILE HE WAS IN A COMA. THE CHANCE OF HIM WAKING UP WAS VERY, VERY LOW.
xxxxxAND THAT WAS ONLY WHERE THE SURPRISES BEGAN. HAVING LAY IN BED FOR A YEAR, ROSS' HAIR HAD GROWN OUT-- HE KEPT IT IN A BUZZ CUT BEFORE THEN, MILITARY BRAT STYLE. HE FOUND THAT HE DIDN'T MIND THE LOOK, WHICH IS REMARKABLY SIMILAR TO HIS CURRENT ONE. HOWEVER, ROSS WAS BOTHERED BY THE STRANGE TEXT HE FOUND ON HIS PHONE-- WHICH, HIS FATHER HAD LEFT ALONE BECAUSE HE RESPECTED HIS SON'S PRIVACY-- AND A WEIRD PLAYING CARD AND A GIANT EGG.
xxxxxBOTH WERE HIDDEN UNDER HIS HOSPITAL BED, ALONG WITH HIS CELL PHONE… IT MUST'VE FALLEN AT SOME POINT, AND THE TEXT INSTRUCTED HIM TO KEEP EVERYTHING A SECRET OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. ROSS HAD THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT THE WEIRD PHONE AND THE EGG WERE WAITING FOR HIM TO WAKE UP. THEY WEREN'T SOME GIFT LEFT BY AN ADMIRER, HE HAD MOVED SINCE HE FELL INTO A COMA. IT DIDN'T TAKE HIM YEARS TO FROWN AND LOOK BACK AT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE CHILDRENS' PLAGUE AND THINK TO HIMSELF, 'I HADN'T EVEN CONSIDERED IT CAREFULLY BEFORE I REPLIED THAT I WAS THE CHOSEN ONE?'
xxxxxROSS WAS SKEPTICAL ABOUT EVEN KEEPING THE EVENTS A SECRET UNTIL THE EGG HATCHED INTO A STRANGE, RED CREATURE THAT LOOKED A BIT… DEMONIC, IT WAS A BLOB WITH FANGS AND IT HAD BAT WINGS ON TOP OF ITS HEAD. WHATEVER IT WAS, HE CERTAINLY WASN'T GOING TO TELL HIS FATHER ABOUT IT. PEOPLE LIKE HIM WHO DISCOVERED STRANGE THINGS LIKE THIS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED. THE RED CREATURE WAS QUIET AND IT DIDN'T GIVE HIM ANY TROUBLE, THOUGH. MAYBE IT HELPED THAT HE EXPLAINED TO IT THAT THEY WOULD GET DETAINED OR SOMETHING IF THE MILITARY KNEW ABOUT ITS EXISTENCE.
xxxxxUNTIL THAT FATEFUL FRESHMAN YEAR ROSS WAS PRETTY WELL-BEHAVED. HELL, HE WANTED TO BE A GENERAL OR SOMETHING LIKE HIS FATHER, BACK THEN. WHEN HE RETURNED TO SCHOOL ROSS GOT HIS FIRST TASTE OF TROUBLE, WHICH HE WOULD FIND HIMSELF ADDICTED TO… AMONGST OTHER THINGS. BEING A PRODIGY USED TO GAIN HIM ONLY ADMIRERS, IN HIGH SCHOOL HE EARNED ENEMIES. HE GOT INTO FIST FIGHTS WITH THEM, AT FIRST BEING BEATEN BADLY. ROSS WAS DISGUSTED AT HOW WEAK HE WAS, HE COULDN'T EVEN RETALIATE WITH WORDS. HE WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS GETTING BULLIED BY ENVIOUS IDIOTS, EITHER… ROSS DECIDED THEN, THAT BECAUSE FIGHTING AND ARGUING WERE SKILLS, HE WOULD ACQUIRE THEM.
xxxxxROSS GOT A LITTLE TOO GOOD AT BEATING UP HIS ASSAULTERS AND CUTTING THEM WITH WORDS. HE EARNED HIMSELF A BAD BOY REPUTATION. ROSS GOT INVITED TO ALL OF THE "BEST" PARTIES WITH THE CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL AND ABSENT PARENTS. BY SENIOR YEAR HE WAS MORE LIKE A FORMER CHILD PRODIGY, HE STILL FEELS LIKE NONE OF THAT EVER HAPPENED. HE SAYS HIS SKILLS ARE UNCANNY IF ANYONE ASKS AND HE DOESN'T TAKE TO NEW TASKS QUITE THE WAY HE USED TO. ALTHOUGH ROSS WALKED AWAY WITH THE TITLE OF VALEDICTORIAN, WHEN HE GAVE A SPEECH HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE THE WORLD'S BEST BARTENDER. THE REACTIONS FROM THE CROWD VARIED.
xxxxxDURING ROSS' HIGH SCHOOL CARRIER THE RED CREATURE HAD BEEN GROWING UP, TOO. IT CHANGED FROM A BLOB INTO WHAT RESEMBLED A SMALL RED DOG. THE RED DOG TURNED INTO A DRAGON WHEN ROSS WAS IN COLLEGE, HE COULDN'T GO STRAIGHT INTO THE BARTENDING BUSINESS BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. HE STILL SAYS THAT HE ATTENDS COLLEGE ON THE SIDE TO PISS HIS FATHER OFF. SOMETIME DURING HIGH SCHOOL HE DECIDED THAT THE AUTHORITIES WERE WORTHLESS AT BRINGING CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE. HIS REBELLION BEGAN WITH HIS FATHER AND JUST SPREAD FROM THERE.
xxxxxTHAT BRINGS US TO THE PRESENT…ISH. AFTER THE DIGI|DESTINED MADE THEIR HORRIFYING TELEVISION DEBUT, ROSS REALIZED SOMETHING. HE HAD ALREADY TAMED ONE OF THE EVIL BASTARDS' "FRIENDS," THE BLACK DRAGON THAT CALLED ITSELF GUILMON. HE COULD DO SOMETHING TO STOP THE DIGI|DESTINED TOGETHER WITH RED. ONE DAY ROSS ALLOWED HIS FATHER TO DISCOVER RED AND HE EARNED HIMSELF A DIVISION, WHICH HE CALLED THE ANTI DIGI|DESTINED.
xxxxxROSS SUSPECTS THAT HIS ISN'T THE ONLY DIVISION DEVOTED TO DEFEATING THE DIGI|DESTINED, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T TRUST A DRECK KID LIKE HIM TO CLEAN UP THIS GLOBAL/INTERSTELLAR CRISIS ALONE. HE'S SEARCHING FOR OTHERS LIKE HIMSELF WHO HAVEN'T BEEN RECRUITED BY THE DIGI|DESTINED WITH SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS. WHAT SET ROSS APART FROM OTHER VICTIMS WAS THAT HE SURVIVED THE PLAGUE, AND SO HE HAD A LEAD…
xxxxx WHEN ROSS NEEDS TO CLEAR HIS HEAD, HE HITS THE PIPE AND THE BOOZE LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES AND EDGAR ALLEN POE-- OR EVEN LESS ABSTRACT… HE GETS PLASTERED LIKE A TRUE PRODIGY. DRUNK OR HIGH, HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD EARN HIM A SPOT ON THE FUTURE'S HBO, THOUGH. HE SMOKES AND DRINKS OCCASIONALLY, WHETHER HE'S BRAINSTORMING OR NOT. ROSS MIGHT HAVE DEVELOPED SUCH A RESISTANCE THE HAZY EFFECTS OF DRUGS, THAT HE'S "DRUNK" OR "HIGH" JUST AS SOON AS HE CAN THINK. THEN AGAIN, MAYBE NOT, HE'S IRISH AND HE FLIES INTO A DRUNKEN RAGE AT THE SIGHT OF ONE OF HIS ENEMIES-- OR SOMEONE WHO RESEMBLES ONE OF THEM. ROSS' OTHER HABITS ARE MESSING WITH HIS SUNGLASSES WHEN HE'S TRYING TO BE COOL AND STUBBORNLY REFUSING TO TAKE HIS SUNGLASSES OFF UNTIL IT GETS REALLY DARK.
