ROMULUS
Age: 6.5 months
Personality: Extremely, wildly friendly. Unlike most rats, his mind demands he's always with someone or something. He has a toy that he carries around with him, even during tests; If he doesn't have it he goes into a nervous breakdown, and he doesn't know why. He has mild OCD; Mainly, his OCD strikes whenever he senses something isn't right. When he senses danger, malicious intent, or a Whitecoat, he immediately becomes a nervous cleaning-machine. He grooms himself like a cat on steroids, he cleans the filth off his cage walls, he straightens out the bedding- All of it. Nothing is safe. However, he doesn't usually bother other rats in his cage and if they can convince him to calm down he will.
Flaws: OCD, nervous wreck, heavy sleeper
Likes: Food, girls, music (when there is any), and making the Whitecoats pleased.
Dislikes: Being alone, being in danger, making the Whitecoats upset, being chased, night terrors.
Past: Romulus was at one point a "wild" rat. He lived in the sewers with his Colony, mostly family and friends. Disaster struck wearing the mask of a terrible storm. The sewers flooded wildly, leaving little room for error in escape. He and a few members of his family, and a handful of friends and strangers, managed to escape, getting out of the sewers. This was the first time his family had been aboveground in generations. Romulus grew to hate the humans just as much as his parents did: They caused the rats to go into hiding! They took away the realm of the Rats, when they used to be wild and free creatures. He and his surviving family lived on street debris for a month or so, getting chased by cats, dogs and Man alike. Then, they got trapped by a Whitecoat worker. Despite his hatred for Men, Romulus decided that doing what the Men wanted was the only way to survive when he arrived at the Lab, though most of his remaining family disagreed wholeheartedly. When he heard about the problems going on between Shale and Blank, he decided to be in on this as well. He wasn't sure who he should join, so he decided to be a sort of "in between," going from one to the other and aiding whomever needed it, but never engaging. He's not sure where the rest of his family is, but he hopes to see them again.
