-Royce doesn't enjoy talking, especially to large groups, and prefers to listen.
-His father's friends have a tendency to pester him, so he avoids them whenever possible.
-Although he's handled a gun several times in his life, the thought of holding one again makes Royce feel sick.

Personality:
Growing up the way he did, one would have expected Royce to end up differently. More angry, maybe. Colder. Instead, it turned Royce into someone more awkward, even shy. Granted, there isn't much that scares him, and he knows how to defend himself, but he's not mean, doesn't brag about it. In fact, most people don't hear him speak at all. Royce learned at a young age to listen instead of talk to gain information. Knowing what was happening made it easier to tell whether he was supposed to panic or rest easy.  Some people think that he's calm all the time, but he's actually fairly skilled at acting. He could be panicking on the inside, but appear like all is well. Sunglasses typically help with that too. On occasion, all of the bottled up emotions finally surface and Royce has a hard time handling himself. Royce frequently doubts himself, and is susceptible to depression, though he has not sought out treatment. 

History and Relationships



Family:
-Richard "Richie" Mason Voight: Richie is Royce's father and was a skilled criminal, typically regarding theft. He didn't treat Royce badly, teaching him specific things, like how to shoot and how to drive. However, he did ignore Royce quite a bit, especially when he was with his friends. After his last heist, he ended up in prison, leaving Richie to be adopted by one of his friends. 
-Margaret Jolene Voight: Margaret was Royce's mother. Her and Richie got married on a whim in Vegas, and Royce was born a few months after. She tended to keep Richie in line, making sure he didn't end up in trouble he couldn't get out of. Margaret passed away from cancer when Royce was six. 
-Matthew James Callaghan: Matthew was one of Richie's friends who wasn't caught up in the heist, and adopted sixteen year old Royce. He was the calmest of Richie's friends, but kept trying to pressure Royce to follow in his father's footsteps, frequently leaving him alone except for his drunken rants. Royce was happy to move out. 

History:
It should have been a classic tale. Good country girl meets bad city boy, she reforms him, he sees the error of his ways, they have several kids, happily ever after. But this isn't the movies, or some book, and not all bad boys turn good. Richard "Richie" Voight met Maragaret Mayes at a park during the evening, sweeping her off her feet with his charm. She was taken in, but suspicious, and reasonably so. Richie had started off dealing drugs at the time, but his future was much darker. The two of them became an inseparable pair during the times that Margaret wasn't working as a secretary at the veterinary clinic, even though Margaret didn't approve of Richie's business. Three months later, after a particularly successful month, the two went to Vegas and got married. Shortly after, Royce was born. Margaret thought that the birth of his son would change Richie, but he just started talking bigger. Started talking about theft with his buddies. She continually talked him down, telling him it was crazy to think about and that he was responsible for her and their son. Richie listened, but only for as long as Margaret was alive to tell him.

Margaret passed away from cancer just after Royce's sixth birthday. The first month was awful. Richie drank constantly, neglecting Richie and leaving his friend Matthew to reluctantly care for the kid. After a full month had passed, everything changed. Richie sobered up quickly, and began planning his first robbery. It all began with a gas station at the edge of town and a week of planning. Royce didn't know what was happening, just watched as Richie cleaned one of his pistols and left, not returning until early morning. It's one of Royce's most vivid childhood memories. The robberies continued, but stayed small, not warranting major investigations. Throughout it all, Royce slowly began to figure it out, not that Richie was all that secretive about what he was doing with his friends. 

For Royce's eighth birthday, Richie took him to the local drag strip to watch the cars. Royce excitedly told his father later that night that he wanted to drive like that, to be the person behind the wheel. His father laughed at first, and Royce thought he was dismissing him completely, but the next day he found himself in a large parking lot with his dad's truck. "Let's start ya off with this, okay son?" He'd ruffled Royce's hair and helped him adjust the seat, lucky that Royce was taller than most kids his age. 

Royce took to driving naturally, and it wasn't long before his father had saved up for a car of Royce's own. A relatively nice Subaru, that Royce still has, although he's made some upgrades. Even without his license, Royce drove his father wherever he needed to go, and because of his skills behind the wheel, they were never caught. At twelve, he took Royce out into the country and taught him how to shoot. Right away, Royce hated holding a gun.

It wasn't until Royce was fifteen that his father finally took him along. He'd shoved Royce in the back seat of his truck, and then into an old beaten up black Chevy with his buddies. They'd all donned their masks, and a gun was pressed into Royce's hand. The entire time Royce wanted to throw up, and was shaking while he stood by the door and watched, gun in hand. Once they were home again, and his father had passed out on the couch, Royce cried himself to sleep.

The second time Royce was taken along he was sixteen, and he thought it was just another routine job. It wasn't until they pulled into a back alley near the bank did he realize just what was happening. He wanted to say something, but he was too shocked to speak and could only follow as the group entered the bank and raised their guns, although he had luckily left his in the car. There was quite a bit of yelling, and shots were fired. The security guard fell to the ground, bleeding from his shoulder and one of the customers was on the ground, blood pooling around her head. Royce shouted in shock after realizing that one of those shots had come from his father's gun. He turned and bolted for the doors, but the sound of another shot stopped him. It nearly hit his ear and instead hit the doors. Royce sprinted the other way, running behind a column. The rest he can no longer remember, but his next memory is sitting on the floor of the bank, blood dripping into his eye from a nasty cut on his forehead. He was taken in for questioning, but ultimately no sentence was passed on him. 

After a while, he was formally adopted by Matthew Callaghan, one of Richie's friends who'd always preferred the planning over the doing and therefore hadn't been at the bank that day. He supported Royce through his schooling at Metric high school, finally working on turning what had just been a hobby into a career. However, he always thought Royce should continue what his father started, and frequently told him so while drunk. Royce was overjoyed to start college and get away from Matthew and into the dorms.
