Roman adores cars. It’s not as obvious as his love for suits but they’re right up there on his list of favourite things and he’ll happily spend a free moment sifting through catalogues just to look at the models within. His father owned several very expensive vehicles what with being CEO of Janus Cosmetics and Roman loved seeing them for as long as he could remember, relishing the clean scent of leather interiors and how comfortable the seats were to ride on. It’s probably one of the few happy memories he has as a child, Mr. Sionis proud to show off his vehicles even to his son while the mechanics they hired enjoyed explaining their work and showing Roman exactly how cars functioned. As an adult, Roman’s now the proud owner of several cars, typically keeping well-known models such as Ferrari for show and pleasure while other, more expendable vehicles are used for work. He won’t blow stupid amounts of money on a machine, even if the urge to splurge is occasionally very tempting but Gotham is dangerous enough on the law-abiding side let alone other criminals, Roman being quite unwilling to shell out hundreds of thousands on a car that’s just going to end up getting riddled with bullets unless he has somewhere to keep it safe - and what’s the fun in having a car you can’t use? Despite his love of cars, ironically he’s not a very good driver and leaves the getaways to a trusted member in his gang.

I'm gonna assume you mean @masquenoire, but correct me if I'm wrong!

So, way back when, before I made a blog, before I even was sure I wanted to make a blog, I was checking out some blogs that interacted with a friend's muse. And all the sudden I saw this here masquenoire blog in my recommends, and I was like "oh heck yea, I love Black Mask, I didn't think anyone played him! :o".

And even though the blog was a little new at the time, I LOVED IT. Chip, your writing is utterly fantastic. I got a little more confidence and inspiration reading such your prose that I got my little writer bones together and started my own blog. Your style is emotive and clever and sharp, you write these amazing paragraphs of lore that go in depth about all the big and little things that build Roman as a character. Even the small headcanons are given such wonderful attention, it makes everything feel so natural!

And that's not even getting into your actual interaction posts! The way you write through his gaze is fascinating, you always have such a good handle on both his internal and external voice through every emotion and situation, from giving nuance to his anger to even working in his softer moments or displaying his shrewd business skills, you make him feel so rounded. Even quiet moments on his own feel immersive, and it's clear that you put a lot of passion and thought into your writing!

Your portrayal is genuinely one of my favorites, even amongst his canon ones, and I feel so spoiled getting to read all this good writing for free!

What is your place in the royal court?

The King.

You hold yourself above the rest; a heavy crown on your head, you consider yourself a step above, the sole decision maker, the one in control. But, is your power only an illusion? Take heed, your majesty, the crowds would cheer your beheading fervently as they cheer your speeches.

Just another reason why he likes dealing with Killer Croc more than he likes dealing with most of Gotham’s other rogues.

"I can watch the boys for a time, until all the plastic babies are found. I would hate for either of them to eat another."

“You sure about that? It’s not that I don’t appreciate the offer but just so you know, they’re a handful being working dogs.” Roman said. Eliza was good with animals. She had a dog of her own, he learned, a big one so she clearly wasn’t inexperienced when it came to their care but looking after two more dogs on top of the pets she was already managing? While she was working? He didn’t want Rocco or Dante causing her problems but having somebody able to watch them for a short while would be helpful. “If you got a free day or two, looking after them would be a big help. I gotta have somebody gut the place and find all those babies before it’s safe for the boys to come back home. Can’t have them doing their dingo impression ‘til every last one of those suckers has been rounded up.” And swiftly destroyed. Roman sighed - if he ever saw a tiny plastic baby again, it would only be too soon.
