Appearance:
Standing at an average height of five feet, seven inches, Roman also has a thin build. He has dark hair that he keeps neat and tidy and unlike the rest of his family, has dark eyes. He sports facial hair but keeps it neatly trimmed. Taking a surprising amount of pride in his appearance, Roman has a need to always look his best. He favors well-tailored suits and more formal styles of dressing in colors that suit his appearance. Following the Wizarding World Market of Doom, Roman now also has a prominent scar on his left cheek that could not be fixed much to his displeasure.History: 1858: Roman is born.
1859: Apparently, the Crouch parents can't keep their hands off each other because a little over a year later, Reuben is born. Due to their close age, Reuben becomes the brother that Roman is closest to despite their exceptionally different personalities.
1863: November is born. This same year, Roman shows his first signs of magic.
1866: Aldous goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Slytherin.
1869: Roman goes off to Hogwarts and is sorted into Slytherin. He takes to his courses quite well and makes his own net of friends in no time.
1870: Reuben comes to Hogwarts and Roman is both surprised and not when Reuben is sorted into Gryffindor. To Roman's logical mind, it just makes sense really.
1871: Reuben seems rather insistent on Roman playing Quidditch and Roman is just as insistent that he will pass on that, thanks. He doesn't enjoy doing things that might get him dirty which Quidditch definitely counts as. On top of that, he prefers books to brooms.
1873-1874: Aldous graduates and goes off on a year long excursion with their father. Romans fifth year comes with a shiny prefect badge, much to his pleasure. He sits his OWLs at the end of the school year and scores reasonably well. In September 1875, November joins them at Hogwarts and is a Ravenclaw.
1875-1876: Roman graduates and goes off on a trip with his father. It isn't a year long like Aldous's was which Roman's secretly bitter about. They are back by Christmas which is when Reuben announces that he intends to go into professional Quidditch. Color Roman unimpressed and he isn't the only one. Roman obtains an internship in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry. The first step in his ambitions to be someone important within the Ministry.
1877: Reuben graduates and goes into professional Quidditch. Muggles also become aware of magic and there is chaos to be had. The family decide to move to Hogsmeade and it is during their inspection of their future home that their parents die in a freak accident. Reuben quits Quidditch. Roman moves to a clerk position after finishing his year long internship.
1878: Reuben joins him and Aldous in working for the Ministry. They also all move to Hogsmeade.
1879: After working for two years as a clerk, Roman is promoted to a Junior Lawyer position. He also tries his best to help Reuben find his footing, even suggesting his brother work for the Department of Magical Games & Sports.
1881: Reuben takes off to travel about, stating that he is going to be an academic. Uh huh. Roman is actually a little more focused on his own busy career to focus on what Reuben's doing.
1882: After three years of working as a Junior Lawyer, Roman is promoted to a full lawyer position. November graduates and Ben briefly returns. Apparently, the book he was working on was stolen by a Frenchman so now he's going to breed exotic animals. And thus, Ben goes off to America.
1884: Their Wellingtonshire home catches on fire and Aldous ends up with a permanent limp after splinching his leg trying to rescue November from the home. Roman had not been home at the time and is privately shaken over the fact that eh could have lost his siblings.
1885: November gets engaged to Gaius Malfoy and later marries him.
1886: Having initially been gunning for the Assistant Head position within his department, a much more juicy opportunity falls into his lap - the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister of Magic position! He goes for it and gets the job.
1887: During the Wizarding World Market, the pavilion collapses and Roman is among those trapped and injured. He sustains a rather prominent scar on his left cheek that won't heal due to how long it was left untouched. Roman is more than a little traumatized and has developed claustrophobia as a result.
The Minister resigns after his daughter is turned into a werewolf. There is an election and ever the ambitious man, Roman puts himself in the running. Around the same time, Ben is sent off to Canada following drama with a girl from a prominent pureblood family. This causes drama between himself and Ben since Ben feels like Roman wanted him out of the way for his political run. Roman would like to repair their relationship but is not quite sure what the best way to go about that is. He also loses out the election to Justin Ross.
1888: Currently, Roman is focusing on repairing his relationship with Reuben and trying to get accustomed to his new employer.
