Appearance Notes:
Raf has got one of those faces that you remember. Angular, well cut and handsome. He has dusty dark hair, warm brown eyes and sandy/band skin.

He is six foot tall and slimly built, with some muscle definition due to the physical nature of Gyptian life.

Descriptive Personality:
Raf is that kid at school who was labelled as an asshole but you couldn't help but liking whenever you spoke to him. He's provocative, attention-seeking and disruptive (partially due to his ADHD), but he is also charming, funny and good company.

He is confident, carefree and adventurous. He lives for new experiences and loves living life on the edge. He's not totally out of control, but if he takes you on a night out chances are you're going to do something stupid and it'll be a night to remember. He is impulsive, and likes to live in the moment for the thrills. He rarely pre-meditates, and acts on his feet.

He is also fairly emotionally resilient and knows how to land on his feet after setbacks. He is a Gyptian after all; they've had to learn it the hard way.

There is a darker side to Raf. Ambitious, one that never gives up. One that craves glory and success. He doesn't have much fear, and isn't afraid to risk it all to get what he wants.
