Personality
An honest, charismatic, kind man, Robert is typically the go to for an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. He tries to help those in need and stand between those that wish to fight. Some would say he’s too good to be true, and in a way, that’s true. He tries his best to be the best for others, and as a result, gets down on himself for failing others in even small ways. He believes too much in trying to see the good in others and walk the line between right and wrong too stiffly. When speaking, he tends to have a deep, soothing tone in his voice. When angered, he never raises his voice, instead simply taking a much more authoritative and stern tone.

Biography
Within the first moment of 1982, a couple from West Point, Kentucky, welcomed their son into the world. Robert grew up the only child of a Vietnam veteran and a librarian. From his father, he gained a great sense of patriotism and bravery, and from his mother, a love for reading and learning all manner of subjects. As a child, he proved to have a slow immune system, making it hard to be outside playing with other children. This didn’t stop him from becoming strong as he grew up, but made him more cautious.

Entering school, Robert quickly gained friends, becoming known for his equal treatment of everyone. His social life wasn’t his only area where he excelled, as he proved to be an excellent student as well. He learned many of his subjects quickly, and took to tutoring on the side. During this time, Robert had instilled in him an idea of just how America should be, and decided to live his life this way. Honesty, hard work, and doing his best to do right by everyone were what Robert built himself on. Though this idealized version of America he had gave some the sense he was being naïve, Robert wasn’t dissuaded. He had a goal, to one day be a leader of the people, and help everyone realize the potential he saw in them. Sailing through school, he graduated at the top of his class, and entered college in good graces. He delved deep into the political and economic fields, and after nearly 8 years of schooling, he received his master’s degree in political science.

He returned home, and using his prior reputation along with his degree, got the opportunity to intern at town hall. During his time back, he was struck by the tragedy of both his parents passing away within months of each other. They had been older when they had him, but he would never forget the time they spent together. After a year back in town, the mayoral elections came up, and finding he just qualified, Robert threw his hat into the ring. The combination of his schooling, charisma, reputation, and now experience allowed him to win the election. This was both good, and bad, as Robert would find out later. Robert encountered more red tape than he had realized he would at this level of government. Despite this, he did his best to make things better for his hometown. He worked on making sure equality was first and foremost, and pushed to have more community events to help build strong ties with one another. He also tried to work on making the town physically better. Elections came and went, and Robert held his position, continuing to build on his good reputation with more experience. He hoped for a bright future for West Point, and all that lived there in.
