About Me

My name is Roosevelt Obed Arias Ramirez, though I also go by Rose. I am an author first and foremost, with over 20 years of writing experience. I began writing short-form collaborative fiction as part of a creative writing community , where I developed my skills in character-driven storytelling, long-form narrative arcs, and collaborative worldbuilding.

I later transitioned into original fiction, developing a sci-fi fantasy action-adventure series titled Congregates of the Machines: Disconnect Diasporas. Drawing inspiration from many of the games that shaped me creatively, the series reflects my passion for dynamic worlds, layered characters, and high-concept storytelling.

As I observed younger audiences engaging less with traditional novels and more with interactive media, I made a deliberate decision to bring my writing into games. I applied to PlaygroundSquad (PSQ) as a designer, initially studying level design before discovering that my strengths and long-term focus lay in game writing and narrative design. While I retain experience in level design, my primary drive is crafting stories, characters, and interactive narratives that resonate within gameplay systems.

Hobbies

Other than writing, I thoroughly enjoy producing beats and performing rap music. I have been doing it for 20+ years as well, which ironically has been a massive point of contention in my life—the constant race between do I rap and keep myself on the move, or do I stay still and focus on my writing craft?

As a person with undiagnosed ADHD, I guess my brain just told me to pick both, and there was nothing I could do about it. I have been cursed by the creative bug and have to get it out of me one way or another. The worst part is that now I have picked up a third creative endeavor: game development...

All the while, part of my mind just wants to crawl out of this dungeon and get back on stage—back to the Sweden tour, back to the dank alleys where the best freestyles happen, and into the loud studios where you and your bros manage to cook up some sick lyrics that you probably wouldn't want to spit during your lunch break!

Hah, luckily I am a conscious rapper, so most—if not all—of my lyrics are about learning from your mistakes and being aware of the trappings that the people who gain from your stagnation want to keep you in...

But alas... who am I to say, right? I am just a dude who can't decide if he should rap, write, or develop games...
