Name: Reuben Alexander Rothmore
Date of Birth: July 25, 1987 Race: Human Gender: Male Profession: Owner of "The Mystic Herb" Alignment: Neutral Good Height: 5'11" Weight: 175lbs Speech Color: #D2B48C Reuben is a kind-hearted soul and finds positivity in most any situation. He's not afraid to speak his mind and always speaks the truth; regardless if it's hurtful or not. He's stubborn, yet willing to admit defeat when he is clearly proven wrong. He spends a lot of his free time in nature; whether that be in the woods or at the beach, he's always having a good time when he's outside. When he's not outdoors, he spends much of his solitary time reading the tarot or studying herbalism and creating herbal remedies.
Reuben tends to be the type of person who marches to the beat of his own drum. He doesn't care for the opinions or instructions of others and would rather figure things out on his own. Sure, if he has questions about something he'll ask and take their responses to heart; but unwarranted advice or opinions aren't readily accepted or appreciated. He is also a huge believer in karma and will take any chance he gets to be kind to another being in the hopes that it comes back around to him in the future. |
Reuben Rothmore was born on July 25th to his parents, Peter and Rubi; and an older brother, Pete. They were all a very conservative bunch; going to church every Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. At a very young age, Reuben was instilled with all of these very conservative views which always seemed to conflict with the way he truly felt about something.
Growing up, Reuben always felt as though he was different from his family. He felt much more connected with nature in a spiritual way. While his brother was often found indoors playing video games, Reuben was outside enjoying the crisp, cool breeze and often spending time with the plants his mother grew in their back yard.
It wasn't until Reuben began going to grade school and beyond that he realized his "differences" were something that other people felt as well. It was during his teenage years that he realized that he wasn't only gay, but he didn't feel about God the way the rest of his family supposedly did.
When he was fifteen, he would do his own research at the local library. A friend he made at the library gave him his first tarot deck, an original Rider-Waite and the love for the tarot began. He took every opportunity he could to spend with the cards and it blossomed into more curiosities about other religions. It was through these existential studies that he realized he wanted to be free and finally live his life the way he wanted. He began taking formal courses in both tarot and herbalism, which he kept from his family. It was at this point he began to consider himself a mundane earth witch, which basically meant he didn't have any inherent magical abilities (like others in Gaia), but he was able to use his knowledge of tarot and herbalism to do mundane works in witchcraft.
It wasn't long before Reuben decided he wanted to be himself all the time. He decided to come out to his family when he was twenty-one, who then proceeded to kick him out, forcing him to move to Barton Town with his best friend, Calista Khova, a real witch. From there, he got a job at a local market and continued to study herbalism in the meantime.
Finally, after he had enough money, he bought himself a house just outside of Barton Town and opened his own alchemy shop out of his new home which he called "The Mystic Herb", selling custom infusions, spells, and even poppets to his clients. Another dealing in his business was that of readings for his clients; tarot, oracle, and rune readings. With all of this, he's been living fairly comfortable ever since.
