[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Rasmus is the black sheep of the family. Despite his family's best efforts to raise him to follow their path to become guardians, Rasmus always resisted. He never changed how he was. They wanted him to be serious and rigid, disciplined in all ways, but he had been a free spirit from the start. There is a curious side of him that cannot be tamed, and it has a knack for getting him into trouble. Rasmus is the type of person who will swim--wait, no, what was the word? Run!--straight toward potential danger in order to check out something that may or may not end up worth the risk. This sort of reckless behavior is exactly why he had been thrust into rigorous training sessions ran by his father. The only good this did him was making him more obedient toward authority. For the most part, it only stemmed from the fact that he did not want to be punished. Eventually, it just became so ingrained in himself that he sometimes follows orders blindly.
[break][break]
Despite how reckless and distracted he can seem, Rasmus is a very organized individual. He almost always has his thoughts collected, and his belongings have a specific place here he leaves them. It is rare for him to lose something, and he is quite reliable if you need him to handle something for you. He is also very understanding of almost everything. He tries to keep his mind open to every possibility, and he will not question your judgement unless it seems too far-fetched or has the high possibility of causing you harm. When it comes to himself, however, he can become very self-destructive. There is that lack of regard for himself that seems to end with him running himself into the ground. As much as you can expect him to take care of others, you should not expect him to take care of himself.
[break][break]
Rasmus is a soft-spoken man. It is rare for him to raise his voice no matter how frustrated or angry he becomes. That bark of anger you might expect to hear is always hushed before it can form in his throat. For this reason, he can seem very quiet when you first meet him. There is always that excited bubble of questions that might spew from his mouth upon something new being brought up, but, for the most part, he has been taught to bite his tongue. To those who get close enough for him to warm up to and no longer care for the values instilled in him by his family, they will find him not only speaking more openly but becoming very, very sarcastic. He is also highly artistic, and he has natural skill in both vocal arts and fine arts.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Born to a family with a strong lineage to ancient civilizations of merfolk, high stakes were placed for the young Rasmus's future the moment he could open his eyes. His family was renowned as guardians with ancestors that protected royalty and known to protect any merfolk who dared to walk on the surface. His father had decades of experience on his shoulders, and his elder brother was already beginning his training. Then there was Rasmus, always ducking out of lessons and hiding where he could not be found. He frustrated his mother to no end, and she always had to call upon his brother, Malthe. The pair were as close as can be, and his brother always seemed to be able to find him, even when Rasmus thought he had found a better hiding spot. Malthe would coax the younger out with promises to play with him as soon as training was over, and Rasmus would behave for a few hours.
[break][break]
He was around six when his mother was tired of dealing with him, so she convinced her husband to start his training early. Due to his age, he started off with coral swords wrapped in seaweed so he would not harm himself. However, it became increasingly obvious that Rasmus would rather be anywhere but there. Once the excitement of getting the basics down was over, he took every opportunity to slip away from his father. If he was left alone for even a moment to speak with the other guards, Rasmus would flee and swim as far away as he could. Eventually, they started scheduling his training sessions with his brother's to keep Rasmus from (successfully) swimming away. In time, he was allowed to spar with Malthe, but he found that he could never beat him. It was to be expected due to the gap in experience, but it was still a blow to Rasmus's self-esteem.
[break][break]
He was twelve when his brother finished his training and was almost immediately assigned a new task. Malthe became busier and busier while settling into his new position, and his absence from training sessions allowed Rasmus's antics to start up again. His father struggled to rein him in once more, so he decided to finally allow Rasmus onto the surface. Under his watchful eye, of course. He might as well have leashed his son to keep him from wandering off. The first venture to the surface ended with Rasmus still on the shoreline, struggling to learn how to walk. They had to wait until the next time they could go to the surface, but there was a change in how the young boy acted. He followed through with his sessions in hopes of being able to go to the surface, not wanting his rights revoked.
[break][break]
Given enough time on the surface, Rasmus walking, running, jumping, and ready to explore. Alas, he was never allowed to. They kept close to the ocean as his father began land based training sessions, making sure he knew how to fight on land as well as he did in water. Ugh.
[break][break]
He began to slip back into old habits, but he was not given much time to change. At seventeen, his training was deemed complete, and his father assigned him a task guarding some important merfolk. Just like when his brother became a guard, Rasmus became too busy. He could no longer find the time to spend with his young friend, and his heart yearned for the adventures they once had. The strict rules of the guard were meant to be followed, and he could no longer afford to play around like he used to. Rasmus receded into himself, becoming the straight-laced guard that his family wanted him to be. His brother was the only one displeased with this change. He was no longer Rasmus, just a hollow shell of the merman he once was.
[break][break]
His brother began to hatch a plan, and he pulled Rasmus aside one night and shoved a bag of supplies into his hands. Turning him around, Malthe pushed his back and told him to go. Anywhere. Away. Wherever the currents took him. His brother promised to handle their parents and that he could do as he pleased wherever he went. Rasmus was not thrilled with the idea of leaving his brother, but a break from his duties sounded wonderful. Vacation, he reasoned with himself. That was two years ago, and he had been wandering the ocean ever since, eagerly exploring every inch.
[break][break]
Only recently had he come to Symphonia, but he has yet to make any decision on settling down or returning home.
