The midway of his back has been engraved with a mark of uroboros, the trade mark of homunculus. Thankfully he can cover the mark up with his clothes; however, his brothers and sisters along with Cain knows about the little mark. Rowlins doesn't find it as a big deal so he just doesn't care about it.

~General Appearance;
Patience wears two outfits. One being his school clothes and other being his Virtue clothes, changing them every single goddamn day is not easy. Getting up in the morning change into school uniform, go to school, then come back and change immediately to virtue uniform. It’s not easy living a double life, Patience, however, somehow still manages through his tight schedules. Normally, he keeps extra spares of clothes in his closet just in case they get dirty during his work.

As far as his appearance goes Patience is rather a handsome young man, mature looking as well as well conducted. His hair is jet black and his skin is light, quite smooth actually. The pair of his eyes are scorched brown; however, the mid-section back has been engraved with the cursed mark of uroboros. He’s 5’ 7”, which isn’t too bad for his age; however, because of his frail-looking body he may not seem like he can’t do anything too vigorous. Patience does know how to defend himself to a certain degree in real combat.

One of his outfits is his school uniform; it’s colors being navy blue color with black trims on it, the clothes consists of a button up shirt with a simple school emblem on the right shoulder, on the left should it has black lines coming all the way from the shoulder to the wrist level. The pair of pants that he wears are pitch black with blue stripes coming down from pockets to the knees. Patience in his opinion finds this uniform far too colorful for the Central school, so he tries not to wear this too often outside.

His second outfit is his Virtue outfit, because of the fact that he leads a double life he can’t afford getting caught. In order to hide himself Patience wears a black cape and under it a black garment with simple golden designs on it. In order to cover his face he wears a black facecloth that covers half of his face. Patience also adjusts his hair; his hair is disheveled while he is in these clothes.

~Goals;
Patience has nothing but one goal. It is to make a world a better place to live; the moment he was born he hated this world. Too many lies, too many killing, and corruption, he felt that what is necessary is for destruction to come before recreating it. He does whatever he must to fulfill his master’s wishes as well as his own, with it he believes a perfect utopia where humans can live honestly with no lies and evil could exist.

He also has another goal in his mind; however, it’s a rather personal one than achieving perfect Utopia. Patience seeks to crumble down the Central Military’s power, corrupt it and use it as his own force, thus he believes that it’ll be step closer to achieving the goal. Patience’s big target is a military, for it is a biggest power house of the Shalambala, he knows it won’t be easy; however, he does believe he could do it by well playing his pieces. Thus, he also believes this will allow him to step as the most powerful Virtue of their organization.

~Secrets;

Patience keeps his abilities at secret, even towards his fellow Virtues. If they do manage to feel his power he does make sure he rearrange their memory about seeing his ability, even though he doesn’t like to lie it is necessary for him to continue with pursue of his own personal goal. With his abilities he used to control military’s underlings, with it he is able to gain inside information and out secretly while leading his double life. He never does reveal his powers, Cain on the other hand knows the strengths and weaknesses of his ability.

He also keeps his personal life secret as well. As a student he is able to spread propaganda through school newspaper distributing all over central, this means he’s able to spread false rumors and conspiracies about Central military to the public. Recently, Patience has spread out the word saying Moon god will return the whole world to Utopia. It could cause a ruckus in the HQ. He may look like a teenager on the outside, but Patience is a very powerful person and with his frighteningly real-time strategic intelligence as well as ability to execute his strategy in lightening quick manner makes him a formidable opponent to be against with.

~Overall Personality; Patience is the most reserved and calm type of the Virtues (as well as most mature), but he’s also most secretive for he has not revealed his power public in front of Virtues just yet. With his outstanding intelligence and cunningness proves him to be a frightening ally as well as an enemy. Patience is a very forgiving person as well kind person; however, there are times when his forgiveness is pushed to a limit and can’t forgive that person. A person he wouldn’t forgive is a liar who lies excessively and a wrathful sinner who doesn’t know how to forgive others.

He secretly lives his personal life as well; he acts as a transfer student from somewhere else. Living a double life isn’t easy, first of all as a student he had to adjust his voice, his hair, along with his personality. As a student Patience is open, laid back, and talkative, with it he easily made friends in the school. There is a reason why he leads a second life, the reason was to take over the school newspaper which was delivered all over Central and his plan was a major success. He made the paper more interesting for adults to read as well; with it the readers increased allowing Patience have the ability to control propaganda.

As a Virtue, as always Patience adjusts his voice, his hair, and his personality. This is where his true color is, as a Virtue he is a reserved and calm type no matter who throws how many insults at him he never loses his cool. His real self is a bit cold, but he is still a kind person; however, as a Virtue he is willing to sacrifice his followers and use people as baits to have the outcome that he desires, but using people he cares about is a whole different story for this is one of his weaknesses. Patience does have tendencies to play dirty against his opponents using ‘unrestricted warfare’. Patience doesn’t like it either, but he does what he feels it’s necessary to bring a perfect Utopia into this world.

~Full History; Born in a rather rich family, Rowlins was a frail boy at the moment he was born; he easily got sick to the bed with a slightest exposure to cold or heat. Due to this he was always kept indoors, alone. In order to make him feel less lonely his father hired maidens and butlers to appease his son’s loneliness; however, every day, weeks, years passed Rowlins became lonelier than he usually became. He would sometimes sit by the window watching kids play outside with envy. His skin became pale due to the lack of sun, and every time he went outside in the spring in a cart some people saw him through the curtains. The rumors started to spread all over the town would spread saying that he’s a Vampire or something.

Rowlins’ father was in military; therefore he had a little time to spend with his son. While his father was gone, he would go into the library and study alchemy, battle tactics, math, history, and even philosophy. He didn’t understand it at first, but through patience and endurance he learned what he had desired. For the first time in Colford family’s history they had a child prodigy in their mansion with an intellect level beyond a normal genius would have. When his father came home Rowlins always tried to impress him through battle tactics that he had learned and came up with, counter strategies and even infiltration. His father was rather impressed how child like this could learn such things.

When Rowlins turned 10, his father hired private tutors that came all the way from Central city. After a couple of weeks working with their students the teachers were obviously impressed by his knowledge, they recommended him to attend a private school at Central. His father; however, denied such offer even though the teachers were even willing to sponsor his owns son to one of the greatest school. The reason was simple, Rowlins’ health was far too weak and he could fall down any moment due to exposure to extreme temperatures.

One day kids snuck into Colford family mansion, Rowlins knowing this wore a black cape and greeted the kids in a manner that he learned to greet people by his father. The kids obviously immediately freaked out and ran out, Rowlins actually enjoyed the prank knowing little this joke of his will soon turn into a disaster. Even some school boys in the afternoon took a little visit to the little count’s mansion. After five months Colford was looked down upon by a lot of townspeople, for the rumors that wasn’t true at all.

By his 19th birthday all kids started to vanish near his mansion; Rowlins became lonely once more and wondered what was going on. He was having fun then all sudden it just seemed like they all disappeared, he couldn’t even see them through many of his window of the house. Sometimes he would find his window crashed by a ‘holy object’ with a letter written in bold letters saying to: ‘LEAVE’. He saw it as a prank, but his family took it seriously. This called up for a town meeting, Mayor of the town called for Colford family to be exiled from the town forever.

After that night things started to get violent. At the dry weather, unexpectedly Colford family’s mansion burned down by a surprise attack of upset and scared townspeople. Rowlins who was trapped in his room was unable to get out, his father was able to open the door; however, by that time his son was badly burnt up to the point where more than 80 percent of his body became a molded flesh. His father and mother got out the mansion safely with their dying son, after suffering terrible burns and wounds Rowlins soon died within a couple of hours.

His death became notified in Central; the military took immediate action towards the townsfolk and arrested those who took part in the attack. His family mourned for their son’s death, even distant relatives came to bid farewell to their talented prodigy. The death was not long, he was shortly revived within two years by an alchemist. To make Patience many sacrifices were followed. Rowlins asked him who he was and the man called himself ‘Cain’ telling him that Rowlins should take part of the cleansing and rebuild of the new world.

Patience rejected the offer at first, but once he heard about the evil of mankind Rowlins was disgusted. He also saw the darkest secrets of men, tasting their dirt. Rowlins patiently watched, hoping that they would find the wrong of their ways; however, it didn't seem like they were going to change anytime soon. Patience shortly took up on the offer to join their crusade, he wanted a world where honest people could be accepted and live peacefully.

~Other Miscellaneous Stuff~

~Roleplay Sample;

“Ugh, ninety percent on History test? This is the worst.” Patience said to himself in slurred speech, it was obvious that he was tired. He tapped his fingers on the wooden desk; he wasn’t satisfied with today’s score on his test today. He had ninety percent, which was still a pretty good score; however, he always got better than ninety this meant failure in his perspective. Surely he studied last night while he was carrying out his plans? Problem was the fact that Patience, or Rowlins Colford wasn’t getting much sleep lately due to the fact that his brothers and sisters nagged him to no end. Even Patience himself had limits to his patience, boy he was getting tired of them.

He placed the test paper in his bag and slung the bag pack around his shoulder as he walked out of the classroom. The lesson was over for today, Patience was glad that this was over, he was falling asleep every single hour due to lack of sleep. Finally, he can go home, get some sleep, and then do his homework. There were no plans for him today, and his brothers and sisters won’t be there to bother him this time. Rowlins sighed as he walked through the halls with his steps lumbering through the place. It wasn’t long before his relief was disturbed by his fellow class representative.

“Rowlins, where are you going? The class representative meeting is today!”

Patience chuckled and scratched the back of his head, “I’m sorry, but I had to do something after school. I promise I’ll be there for next one.” He then started to walk off. Then the student grabbed his wrist, “Please let me go, I’m kind of tired…” Patience then only found himself being dragged by his fellow classmate; he was more persistent than he had thought he may be.

“Then I will drag you to the meeting!” He said.

“I really need to go home.”

“You can say that you were late, because of the school meeting!”

“Wait, I forgot something back at the classroom.” Patience grabbed the nearest doorknob and looked at the fellow student. The student nodded in response and signaled him to go back. He didn’t want to use this kind of lie, but he was far too tired to think straight and think of some kind of excuse to let him go. The grip was released automatically, then Rowlins then started to run off. Thankfully no one was watching, Patience panted as he ran out the school door's exit.

Rowlins sat on the stairs, "I'll just say to my brothers and sisters I had to do some shopping...." He thought and slowly nodded himself off to sleep.

~Anything Else;
Patience’s ability is power to stop the time, well, not exactly. He actually stops the motion and energy in that very area. In order to perform this ability he reduces everything in a certain vicinity to absolute zero. With it he makes a shield around the area that keeps other energy from getting it, but it covers the small amount of area; however, he wouldn't be able to do much due to the effort of retaining all that energy. If someone else is able to retain the energy they’d be unaffected by the ability itself, then again, because of so much strain Patience won’t be able to hold the ability for too long or else his energy will run out.

It is indeed a powerful ability, but because Patience isn’t suited for combat like others he limits the usage of this ability. Only time he may use it would be in his escape, or even outflank his enemy in actual combat to take the first initiative in a fight. Constant usage could lead him to a headache, nausea, a loss of consciousness, and even temporary blindness due to constant strain to his body as well mentally.

Patience may not be good in physical combat overall, but he does know how to defend himself to a certain extent. His combat abilities display some grapple and aggressive maneuvers from command sambo, his favorite move is to trap his enemies in a lock then strangle them until they are knocked out like how a spider traps his prey. Patience’s fighting style could be compared to a spider, waiting for the opponent to come to a certain area and then move in for the kill. Sometimes he will use a weapon, such as small firearms like a pistol or a sub machinegun. [/font]

[Deceit]

Hair color in character appearance is missing.

Although it works in the anime it came from the bird eye thing is not possible in FMA. It not scientifically possible, slits yes bird no.

Wheres his ouroborus.

As for goals, all virtues goal is to assist Cain in his desires. That was not mentioned.

His ability cannot be a secret from the other Saints.

There is no way in hells green earth that Virtue/Cain would not know what Patients ability is. He would kill him.

Its Virtue/Cain not Saint. The humoncs are the Saints.

Cain doesn't have a stone. He never has and probably never will. He only uses the red stones to feed them.

Patients cannot have his memory's the entire time. He has to get them back similar to Lust from the anime. In otherword something has to trigger them.

The newspaper also has to spread the word of Abel the priest. That the moon god will help restore the world to utopia.

No double powers, the victims eyes cannot turn red. This would require you to shuffle the coloration.

If they are strong willed enough they can escape the thing. Everyone tolerance is different.

Also I feel that it must be down to touch as well. At least for memory's. He can catch there eyes then touch their shoulder The touch is because it is impossible to affect their memory's without messing with their brainwaves. That's what the touch does.

[patience]

It has been fixed like you have requested it to be.

[Greed]

Thank you for making those changes.

ACCEPTED!!!
