Over the years, though, they’ve become a bit more laid-back and playful. They’re still stubborn and easy to piss off, but at least they *act* more mature. When they *want* to be mean, they're more sarcastic and subtle about it. There's also a soft side to them which they've historically tried to suppress, but it comes a little easier now… They speak and sign in a clipped and blunt manner, often coming off ruder than they mean to. Hans tends to ramble when flustered. (If you look close enough, there’s a certain air of regret that they are always carrying. Perhaps it’s fear, maybe a sense of failure. It’s heavy and dense and hard to properly see through, like fog over the bay.) ## HISTORY > [!warning] > Brief mention of neck cut injury. ### Overview Hans Roxas ([/ʁɔk.sʊs/](http://ipa-reader.xyz/?text=%CA%81%C9%94k.s%CA%8As&voice=Joanna); born January 3, 1980) is an American former professional ice hockey goaltender who played a total of 4 seasons with the San Francisco Blades in the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Blades' National Hockey Development League (NHDL) associate, the Death Valley Heat. They are currently serving as head coach and de facto general manager of the Blades. Their goaltending style was old-school, relying on flexibility, mobility, and puck handling instead of the more modern butterfly or hybrid style of blocking shots. This style was developed out of necessity, considering Roxas's smaller frame. Roxas was arguably the last stand-up style goaltender in the NHA. Along with their unique playing style, Roxas was notable for their status as the only openly transgender person in the NHA and one of the only few out gay players in their era. They made a point to dress alternatively and androgynously for media appearances and did a handful of photoshoots for fashion magazines. They are also well known within the Bay Area's Deaf community, as someone who is hard-of-hearing themself and is fluent in American Sign Language. Roxas retired from playing hockey following a life-threatening injury during a January 2003 NHA game versus the Winnipeg Wolves, when a defenseman’s skate accidentally sliced their common carotid artery. ### Personal life As a teenager, Roxas worked at a café to fund their hockey gear and training. Roxas graduated from Eastshore High School in 1999. The Eastshore ice hockey team retired their jersey number, #3, in 2014. Roxas was signed to the San Francisco Blades' minor affiliate, the Death Valley Heat alongside Jakey Goldstrom after a walk-on tryout right before the 1999-00 NHA season was due to start. They had tried out for the organization previously, but only caught the Blades' attention at this particular try-out after stopping every shot from the top line of forwards. Following their life-threatening neck injury sustained during a 2003 game, the Blades paid out Roxas's contract and dismissed them from the team. Roxas maintains that they did not agree to the arrangement, since the decision was made while they were still in the hospital. However, there is no public documentation of this specific case. In 2015, however, the same Blades' general manager was fired for unrelated labor violations and inappropriate conduct. Due to poor communication from the Blades' front office and Roxas avoiding media, much of the NHA believed that Roxas was dead until they later re-emerged as a coach. Roxas spent their time away from the public eye to focus on education, graduating from Golden State University in 2007 with a B.S. in Sport Management. In 2010, Roxas became a goaltending development coach in the Blades organization, working with the Blades and the team's minor league affiliates. On May 17, 2015, Roxas was named the head coach of the Death Valley Heat. On December 10, 2015, after several Blades coaches and executives were fired, Roxas was named interim head coach. Before the start of the 2016-17 season, the Blades announced that Roxas has signed a 5-year coaching contract with the Blades, officially becoming the 10th head coach in franchise history. Since the general manager title does not exist anymore in the Blades organization, Roxas is the de facto head of hockey operations and gets final say in contract decisions and trades. In 2019, Roxas and Goldstrom publicly confirmed their long-term relationship and revealed that they had a child together in 2003, named Akari Roxas. ... Sometime in 2020, they were transported to Strategos. They don't *seem* to be missing memories, but if they think about it for a bit, Hans *feels* like they are forgetting something. (More in-depth history can be found in [[Hanstory]].) ## MISCELLANEOUS ### Trivia - Hans is shorter than their listed height of 5'6" (about 5'3"). - Cat height: 16" at the shoulder, 2’10” when standing bipedal. - Capricorn AND Year of the Goat. They're stubborn as hell. - Birth tarots: Death and The Emperor. - Filipino-American. Doesn't know Tagalog. Complicated relationship with their ethnicity. - English is their first language, but consider ASL their primary language. - Wore #3 as a player, on both the Heat and the Blades. - As a player, their nicknames were Rox or Roxie. Only older players still call them that, with everyone else usually just calling them Coach or Hans. - Is a dog person, funnily enough. - Absolutely loves wine-and-paint activities. - Punk-rock and pop-punk are their favorite music genres. - Will simply take off their hearing aids if they get annoyed. Especially at reporters that they don't like. And Jakey, their husband. - Has the ability to read lips, but will never admit it. They dislike relying on it for regular communication, but it’s awfully useful when they watch the opposing team’s bench. - Hans is so, so painfully aware that they are in a cat isekai. Just like that movie Kari used to love… ### OOC notes - PST/PDT timezone. - **They/them only**, but in-character Hans might refer to themself as she or he or with other gendered terms. It's complicated. - Hans both signs and speaks, but usually not at the same time. They are able to lipread, but don't like doing it. **I prefer other characters to use sign with them**, since all eidolons have the ability to anyways :) Trying to RP a language barrier just isn't fun to me, and I don't want to give them magic hearing. - Flirting, touch, and comfort are all okay. Please ask if you want to do a joke ship with Hans! No serious ships. - I prefer the added *'s* at the end of Hans's possessive form (and Roxas's), since it's how I would pronounce it. ### Links - [Toyhou.se profile](https://toyhou.se/2470209.hans-roxas/25148955.-) - [Playlist 2003](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0PNWvBaS258cz8qCnNULjl?si=1f03b5ebd14d4837) - [Playlist 2020](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7dKWVRSEdeMTkNnBpD5gi6?si=ae908208b9844ceb) ![[hans is big as a treat2.png]] ### Completed Special Prompts - February: +10 HP - Improving Magic: Bloom Proficiency - Improving Magic: Additional Lv3 Spell Slot ### Changelog - May 16 2025: +1 STR point for end of Chapter 4, upgraded armor, swapped Bandana for Enchanted Necklace - May 6 2025: Inventory update and added fourth skill - Mar 30 2025: +1 DEX point for end of Chapter 3 - Feb 7 2025: +1 DEX point for end of Chapter 2, bought and added equipment - Oct 7 2024: +1 CON point for end of Chapter 1, bought and added equipment - Sep 8 2024: Moved spellbook into its own separate page
