Roache - The Character
Roache is a mysterious figure donning a suit of full plate mail armor at all times. Beneath his armor there is nothing but a hollow embodiment of the void itself, leaving him to be some kind of reanimated suit of armor. He speaks with a mixed English accent and uses strange slang words in his everyday speech.
On occasion he has claimed to be a "cockroach" donning the armor, hiding his antennae beneath this helmet. This has been proven false to those who dared to inspect him closely. Most likely its some sort of play on his name subscribing to his dry sense of humor.
He titles himself as "Roache the Loli-slayer" having much disdain for the shorter childlike creatures that inhabit and "pester" much of VRChat.
Origin Lore
Long ago Roache was an actual cockroach from the Roach Kingdom but today nothing corporeal of him remains as his soul was magically bound to a suit of armor.[1]
As with all things in this world it is assumed that he is slowly deteriorating and the magic that binds him has to be regularly maintained or else he will eventually fade away and cease to exist.
History and Biography
Roache is very old and slowly approaching his own ultimate demise and death of sorts, if he is alive at all is a matter of debate but what his passing might entail other than what he has explained himself is unknown.
He met Roflgator in April 2019 and was introduced to his bar through his daughter RuthlessRuby. When visiting he was invited to do an out-of-character roleplaying tryout which he passed with flying colors.
On May 8th, 2019 he stated that he only had about one week left to live and was looking to spread his legacy as much as possible. He expressed his shared hatred for "lolis" calling himself a slayer of them. When addressed as a "knight" by Roflgator he was quick to denounce and deny this title, claiming himself to be nothing of the sort. Simply wearing a full suit of plate armor does not make a knight.
Later that day he would insult the bartender Jogie Joey, asking to "snap her neck" in an "affectionate way" for some "copper dobbies". She did not appreciate being compared to a whore whose death being worth a few copper coins. The dispute was eventually ended by the proprietor Roflgator.
Attacked by HelloKitten.
When he was attacked by "Zombie Girl" HelloKitten who tested his prowess of sorts he revealed to be nothing more than a reanimated suit of armor, not capable of directly dying or having any flesh for her to chew on or consume. Instead he offered an alliance of sorts if she would team up with him and kill any "loli" creatures, expressing their tender flesh as something much more attractive to someone such as her.
Since he stated that he only had about one week remaining to live back in May 2019, it's possible that his animated self has already left this world.
Rumors of his passing were put to rest when he reappeared in Bricktown on June 24th, 2019 and attempted to peddle off various goods from the 8est store outdoor section. He parted with various medieval trinkets and items, in addition to claiming that they had magical properties. He even tried to sell things to the local constabulary, the officers Bearly and KatXWind appeared to question the legality of his business practice which eventually caused him to cut his time there short and made himself scarce.
On Jan 24th 2020 he made a visit to The Royal Gator and vouched for MaloneGames who had been accused of a murder. He also requested that Roflgator bring him an "innocent and pure creature". At first Flynn was almost offered to him but instead he was given SciFri whom he performed some sort of ritual on.
In April 2020 he started streaming on RoacheVR, revealing the man behind the character to be a Scottish freelance voice actor.
He participated in Elimination RP on April 13th 2020 portraying various characters. He ended up winning the competition.
