Labrador Retriever Blues

“Roger is the most level-headed of The Royals, and the most likely to get along with outsiders. He's a natural diplomat, and is able to diffuse internal arguments within the group, which are common. He’s a talented guitarist as well, and usually plays on the back porch in his free time. His favorite genres are folk and rock and roll, and his favorite singer is Bill Haley. Sadly, he doesn’t get to do this much though, since his dedication to his longtime friends and their "club" takes up a lot of his time. He secretly fantasizes about being a rockabilly singer, but is under no illusion that it could ever happen. Roger doesn’t really like doing wrong, but the way he sees it he doesn’t have many options. Ronnie and Chris are his only friends, have been since they were young, and that means something to him. He would never just throw them under the bus, and any decision to go against them is a hard one. Although unintentional, he sometimes shows his reluctance to commit harmful acts, to which he’s always met with his fellow juvenile delinquents deriding him. Within the group, they're aware that Roger isn't fully committed to what they do, and as such they sometimes question his loyalty. To prove himself, Roger is constantly volunteering to do grunt work that the others don't want to. This way he has a somewhat cleaner conscience, as at least he isn't doing the much worse things that're left up to Ronnie and Chris while still helping out. If The Royals ever need someone unintimidating to reach out to a normal person, Roger is always the go-to.”
