Personality: Roth used to be secluded and feeling like he had no purpose being of an accidental unintended birth. This mentality changed during his stay at Mugen Hall where he cleaned himself up and realized what a whinny bitch he was being.
Roth now sees himself as an opportunist. He does what ever he needs to do to get somewhere, but tries his best not to interfere with the lives of others. He is fun and loud, and occasionally cocky. Roth sees himself as the perfect example of a man in every aspect calling himself the Macho Man after Randy Savage.

Roth also has almost no idea how to read moves and just takes whatever flies at him and finds how to work it into his plan later.
Strengths:[/list] Roth is a seasoned fighter and has had years of training in each fighting style. He fights as part of his job at SDCW (San Diego Championship Wrestling) and know how bad pain REALLY feels. Roth also knows how to dish out MMA strikes along with deadly accuracy, speed, and strength with his knowledge of wrestling exclusive moves.
History: Roth was born at Jordan Hospital Plymouth Massachusetts. His mom was a 19-year-old unemployed high school grad, and his dad was a 20-year-old Subway manager. None of the family helped them out, thinking they had to live with their mistake. But Roth's grand father/ the mother’s father let them stay at his house until they didn't need to. Roth grew up there for 2 years. He doesn’t remember much, being a baby/toddler. All he can remember was a lot of yelling, and moaning (fighting and make-up sex). This went on for another year. Roth's grandfather bought them an apartment for he could no longer take it.
Roth was seven years old. He was in second grade and things were looking up. The screaming had almost completely stopped, and he was a straight A student in every class. He had two best friends, and a childhood girlfriend. On the night before summer vacation the screaming came back. Roth got almost no sleep hearing the yelling of his parents. On January 16th the parent’s reason for all the yelling had been born. A set of triplets, later twins because the first one out soon died after birth for reasons unknown to Roth. But the two left Rita and Jesse (both girls) would soon bring the divorce.
The court eventually ruled that the father would receive fully custody of Rita and Jesse seeing Roth every weekend. Alone they couldn't support the 3 kids but the father could support the twins, and vice versa. Roth's life was very busy now. He saw his siblings every weekend, this soon led to his friends becoming more distant, and eventfully his old girl friend left him. His father tried very hard to make this up to him. Every weekend he would tell Roth how to get and keep girlfriends, along with this, he taught him how to fight. From the start he was very good and only got better. He focused almost everything on Muay Thai and Wrestling. He was eventually put into a tournament and won. But the last opponent he faced made him give up the sport. The opponent said as he lost that why should someone that was a 'mistake' beat me. Roth was soon crushed when he heard his now ex-best friend say something so cruel. This triggered a flash back into Roth's life and saw that he was a 'mistake' and shouldn't have a right to exist.
His mother and father noticed this as he started doing anything besides eat, walk, sleep, and breathe. They concluded there might be something mentally wrong with him and thought a the therapist would help. Every time Roth would see the therapist he would seem more depressed. Every time he would tell the same story written above. After rereading it to himself over and over the more uncaring he became, when he thought about the beginning he was most depressed, he was a 'mistake'. When he barley finished middle school he was sent to Mugen because the therapist knew their results with hard cases and their corporal punishment being more efficient then Massachusetts’s (were all way too Liberal up here) and Roth's parents thought it would be for the best.
When Roth found out this decision he thought. "Why should me, a person who shouldn't live be a burden to those with purpose?” He asked him self this over and over till he was on his way to Mugen. When he was walking to his new home, he saw a kid in almost near death condition in an alleyway. Roth just stood there and watched the kid. " If I shouldn't be here why should I help someone? His fate is to die and I shouldn't even be here. What should I do?" He fought himself in his mind for 15 minutes. Within the next hour the kid was in a hospital room being overwhelmed by doctor and nurses. When one of the doctors asked who brought him in nobody knew who did. As Roth left the hospital he came to the realization that if he was born with no purpose he would help everyone who has a purpose...
A year or so passed at Mugen Hall where Roth learned everything he had to learn about himself. After many trials of strength and faith Roth realized that his purpose was to live and make the people around him happy. Roth is a strong believer against the corporal punishment system and feels that he may be the face to end it. Roth found this after hiving his knee shattered and spine almost broken by an elite enforcer at Mugen Hall. After Mugen's shutdown due to the economic downturn (i love excuses) Roth was transfered across the country after being kicked out of many schools all the way the The Chula Vista Collective.
Roth now works to better himself and aspires to one day work as part of the education system and reform corporal punishment and will do whatever it takes to get there.
