My friends know they can rely on me, no matter what.

I try to make people smile and feel comfortable.

I repair broken things to redeem what’s broken in myself.

I judge others harshly, and myself even more severely.

I don’t know when to throw something away. You never know when it might be useful again.

Ro is an average-sized halfling with an athletic build. He's spent most of his life climbing rigging in sailing ships and hauling fish nets. His hands are clever and callosused. He wears simple, comfortable clothes and carries a staff; albatross and raven feathers dangle from it, along with a few black pearls.

This information is based on Ro's playthrough in Baldur's Gate 3.

background

The first time young Ro saw something dead it scared him. His mentor crouched down next to him and let him turn away if he needed to, but not run away.

"The dead are just dead, little Ro. Death is just stepping from one room into another, a step we all must take someday. It's okay to be afraid, dying can be frightening. But death is a friend."

personality

Ro is easy-going and quick to smile, but he can't turn down a challenge to save his life. It started as a child - smallest in the village - and the habit hasn't gone away, even as he's become more confident. He's also loath to pass up friendly wagers, especially if he feels he has a good chance of winning, whatever the odds.

Given his size, Ro is used to living in a world of big people and he isn't afraid to make himself known or heard if he's being spoken over or ignored. He typically has a staff and won't hesitate to whack someone in the hip if he needs to.

In all things related to his cleric duties, Ro is patient. He became a cleric in the hopes of being able to help people, to heal the wounded and sick and ease the suffering of the dying.

Ro often feels restless, not quite sure where he fits in. He's happiest with something to do, and he won't hesitate to leave home to find it.

BG3 world state (spoilers!!)

Last chance to turn back! There will be spoilers for most of Balder's Gate III in here. I'll keep it to a minimum. I've romanced Ro with Gale and Halsin in at different points, but I'm certainly open to other canonmates and crosscanon!
