History:

Rodger grew up being raised by his single mother. Rodger often had to care for himself as his mom worked as a waitress in a near bye restaurant. Rodger never knew his dad but when asked; his mom claimed he was a dancer in a traveling troupe that left her on a one night stand. (In truth he was an erotic dancer at a club in another city that left early in the pregnancy)This inspired Rodger to become a dancer like his father. His mom supported his dream and allowed him to enter dance studios at a young age. Dancing consumed Rodgers life, while his grades suffered, though he showed great talent. Before mid way through high school Rodger’s mother suffers a stroke in her sleep and passes away. Left alone the world, Rodger fell deeper into his training as a dancer. His perseverance paid off in the form of a full ride to an expensive dance school, that promised a bright future for him. However, because the school was so expensive Rodger was often ridiculed for his poverty. The tormentors in particular being a group of rich women. Once they even tied Rodger up and left him in the janitor closet, that night a blizzard struck and no one found him till the school was reopened 3 days later. This event impacted Rodger in the form of a acute case of Gynephobia=Fear of women. His phobia made it practically impossible to continue his studies, and Rodger droped out of the school. This is when Edward Stevens ran across the young man. A friend of Rodger’s mother, Edward enrolled him in his own school known as the Gentlemen’s academy. The academy is a school that seeks to produce well rounded men who will go on to serve and advise leaders in every circle of life. Their the old man who gives the hero that one tip, or the barmen who gives logical sense, or the random Joe who seems to be more informed on life then most. For the final year each student is assigned a work in residency at random and are expected excel in their positions. Rodger was assigned a position as bartender, at the Dancing Cherub café. Upon his arrival Rodger is greeted by the horror that is the Dancing Cherub Café a cosplay café where he is one of 3 men on the entire staff.
