Leadership Is a confident and commanding leader, is able to assess the strengths and abilities of others. Was made captain of the soccer team at the beginning of the sophomore season after the coach recognised this in him.
Sports Is an avid sportsman, mainly consisting of team sports such as soccer, basketball and lacrosse however he enjoys sailing and surfing.
Hard Working His father is a self-made millionaire who owns much of Miami’s coastline real-estate, he pushes Rowan to be the best while not truly caring about his son’s desires.
Photography Ever since Rowan was a kid he always enjoyed taking photographs. First with his mom’s Polaroid and later with his own cameras. He occasionally contributes o the school paper however he doesn’t have much time.
Focus Has lived a life of constant disruption due to always moving house and during the time he spent living in renovated houses he could read books while walls were being knocked down beside him.
Skilled Labour He assisted his father on several remodelling of houses and has a basic knowledge of plumbing, plastering and carpentry.
Popular Is friendly and well known amongst the general populace. He tries to leave a good impression with most of the student body and doesn’t have many enemies.
Fun Loving Knows how to party, he threw the first house party amongst his class for his fifteenth birthday and has lived up to a reputation as a party king ever since.
Dedication He will never start something he can’t finish, this dedication also runs with his friends.
Fit Due to the amount of sports he plays he is very muscular yet lean.
Archery Rowan was the under 13 state champion and national gold medallist in Archery however a surfing incident broke a finger this making it impossible for him to compete professionally.
WEAKNESSES
Cynophobia: Was bitten by a dog at the age of six and has never really been able to be around them for very long, luckily he has never encountered a werewolf.
Physically outmatched He is of average strength for an athletic human yet fighting a supernatural creature would be out of the question for him. He could distract the monster for a few moments but never be able to physically defeat one in close combat.
Daddy Drama His father is extremely pushy and only accepts the best from Rowan. His dad is not only very strict but also has a very fiery temper.
Emotional He feels detached from most people, while he is popular he has very few close friends that he can talk to, his father is especially distant now he has remarried and started a new family with wife No 2.
Issues with Sexuality Rowan has issues with his own sexuality. Recently he began to question things about the way he felt however he has not had the confidence to tell anybody even his best friend about the feelings he is having as it would likely lead to him losing the captain position on the soccer team.

His jaw looks cut right from granite with the average stubble over his jaw and chin, giving him that sexy ‘just woke up and is too cool to shave’ look. Startling blue eyes stand out against the tanned skin, framing the perfect nose atop his fine lips. He is quite fond of how he looks and isn’t afraid to play with his appearance sometimes, occasionally growing out his hair or his hair or shaving the stubble off completely for that clean cut look. He normally just does the scruffy look and pulls it off well.
While his wardrobe is mainly quite preppy clothing, well fitted trousers with smart shirts or tight henlyes he likes to kick back and relax in a tank top and shorts whenever possible. His father always told him when he stepped out of the house he was representing his family so he had to dress well.
PERSONALITY Rowan is simply a laid back and friendly, guy. Most teenage dramas are like water off of a duck’s back. He enjoys spending time with his friends and meeting new people. Effortlessly charming, Rowan enjoys being the centre of attention however he does not crave the spot light. Davis is pretty susceptible to peer pressure. In his youth he spent a lot of his time at the beach with his surfer buddies who were also pretty major stoners. He joined in frequently, but since has dad caught him once he has been forbidden from hanging out with them and out of respect for his dad he has done as he wished. Rowan likes to party and has some close friends at school and enjoys hanging out with them. His dad approves as there is no use of illegal substances. To his knowledge anyway.
However Rowan does like to spend time alone, having lived with his family all his life in a new house every six months, until he reached high school he had never stayed in the same place for over a year. The mix of teenager’s hormones and the supernatural can sometimes get to him and he needs some peace and seclusion. Rowan has some issues at home. Since his mother left and his father remarried he has felt like an intruder in another family. He has stopped trying to be involved and rarely even sits to have dinner with his family.
Rowan tries to find the light in most situations and tries to make the most out of every moment. If he had his way he would make life like one big party this is mainly due to the fact he is aware that it could be over sooner than most kids and adults in the city would like to admit. Rowan seeks thrills, from extreme sports to more recently being involved with the supernatural world Rowan loves the feeling of a good adrenaline rush, he loves soccer but his heart belongs to surfing.
Rowan isn’t really into commitment or anything serious for the time being. However he harbours a secret that he has not been able to come clean about. For the past six months he has been questioning his own sexuality. He has somewhat of a history with the female population of Miami High but it’s all been a front. He has never felt the need for a girlfriend as he has never truly been attracted to girls. All he is really looking for is somebody who he can be himself around and have a fun time with if only for a night.
Rowan’s personality while not on patrol is fairly similar to that when he is in everyday situations. Full of passion and potential but lacks the refinement of the slayer. Rowan will rush into a situation all guns a blazin’. However with the command of a strong leader Rowan is a fantastic team mate and can follow instructions well. Although he is a good leader in sports; he knows very little about combat and the supernatural. He is aware that not everybody can be Winston Churchill and that while he was a good leader the soldiers were the true heroes of the war which is all he wants to be. A hero.

Like his father Rowan was soon obsessed with surfing. His father would take him out every morning as the sun was rising to catch some waves before school then again after if he had the time. His father also encouraged him to take part in other sports such as soccer, at age six after watching Robin Hood, Rowan became obsessed with archery. Rowan begged to be allowed to take archery classes and his father agreed. Rowan was a great archer, he had a natural flair for it and was actually twice crowned the state champion. His mother gave him a silver arrowhead for his 9th birthday that he wears around his neck every day.
Around the time of his twelfth birthday his mother was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She underwent treatment but the cancer was incurable. She died after a seven month struggle with the disease. Rowan’s father began to put greater pressure on his son to achieve better grades. It was around this time that he was involved in an incident in a soccer match that broke his index finger and his middle finger on his left hand thus he was unable to continue with archery as the nerve endings were damaged and he lacked the control to be a serious competitor however he is still capable with the bow and arrow if the need should ever arise.
Rowan continued to work hard as he entered high school and his father found a new girlfriend who quickly became his wife. Although it was a very impulsive decision Rowan was simply happy to see his dad smiling again. As he entered high school his stepmom gave birth to a baby girl named Ava. Although he is a part of the family the new situation has almost edged him out of the situation. He feels like a spare part that isn’t needed.
He was made captain of the soccer team at the start of his sophomore year and is a player on the school basketball team. Things really couldn’t be going better for Rowan. Other than the fact his school and city has recently found itself in a supernatural warzone. Or at least that’s what it feels like. Rowan initially was reluctant to get involved in the situation but soon realized that he had a part to play. He doesn’t have much to offer however he is able to use his father’s empty projects as safe houses and his archery skills have been useful time to time
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT My development for Rowan mainly involves issued with his sexuality. His importance of being a member of the gang. And a potential relationship.
His sexuality would be a prickly subject as if it were to come out a lot of his teammates would respect him which would compromise his leadership. As a straight acting gay guy he will not be effeminate or be a huge fan of musical theatre he’s just one of the guys, only he doesn’t like girls that way. Although he is a member of the core team he is a little useless. Not that he doesn’t like to help but his role on the team beyond Watcher Jr is debatable, he is good with research and some of his dad’s homes which are on the market can be used as safe houses occasionally but he doesn’t offer much in terms of manpower.
I’m not sure if there are any gay or bisexual characters on site but I would love to maybe have a relationship plot. Maybe not as finals but as a love/hate style relationship that could go in any direction after all this is a Buffy themed site which dealt with messed up relationships all the time so you never know.[/SIZE]

___________________________________________
5ish years | N/S | pretty much just a pretty face
Rowan Thorson, one of the, shall we say; ‘less extraordinary’ members of the team was doubled over in pain and on his knees. He clutched his bruised gut and coughed hard, watching through bloodshot eyes as a glob of blood splashed on the floor. Never had he received such a brutal beating. Rowan had valiantly, or foolishly, entered the fray as his friends were holding their own against over a dozen demons. He was full of confidence as he managed to take down two demons from a distance with arrows dipped in holy water, Out of arrows he decided to get into the fold and with a smirk on his face he jumped towards the source of the conflict, the demon leader. By now, that confidence had nearly been beaten out of him by a four-armed monster that had intercepted him, not the arch demon herself, but her personal body guard. Blood dripped from his nose while several rips in his clothing revealed glimpses of his battered and bruised flesh underneath. Although he had managed to avoid several strikes, even land a few of his own but the demon was far more powerful than he had imagined. One of the demon’s four fists had landed square on Rowan’s face, followed in succession by two blows to the chest and a final punch directly in the gut. Which had left him on the floor, his nose bleeding.
That unfortunate strike had sealed Rowan’s fate. He hadn’t been able to regain his focus or turn the tide of the fight, instead putting his endurance reserves to the test. Those reserves were now almost totally sapped he could no longer find the will to even attempt to climb to his feet. Rowan himself had no chance of beating the four-armed beast; he was not a slayer, he foolishly thought that with the element of surprise he could make a difference. If he wanted to live he would have to run, but that wasn’t an options the bodyguard lumbered towards him, each footstep scotching the ground under its feet.
The demon’s hand wrapped around his short brown hair and yanked him into the air. He shouted in agony as pain streaked through his scalp and a moment later he lay on his back before the beast and its master. The Arch Demon slowly walked towards Rowan, it lifted his foot and stomped on his chest. Its powerful foot pressing down onto his already fragile ribs. “You don’t even deserve to fight against my weakest spawn.” the grotesque demon asked, mocking the young would-be-hero, “Did you really think you could defeat me? I will rule this dimension and you believed you could even stand against me”
Rowan tried to breath as the foot weighed heavily on his chest. “Actually, I sort of did” he says his adrenaline running short; he closed his eyes and waited for the demon to finish him off. The demon began to laugh as he felt the pressure on his chest release a little. He looked to see what was happening, the demon was emitting a strange aura. A mist seemed to be emitting form its body. He was still pinned to the ground due to her immense weight but something was up, she looked almost as if she was about to blow up.
No sooner than the thought had crossed his mind had the demon disintegrated her body almost turned into a vaporous mass accompanied by a terrifying howl. He couldn’t see what had happened but the four armed beast was fleeing the scene as a young girl holding a spell book slowly walked towards him. She extended her hand for Rowan to grab but he was too far gone, his remaining adrenaline was gone as he passed out of consciences.
