Okay, I'm going to try to be more diligent about placing my Roman theories here instead of in the comments section on his page.

So yeah, theory 1: Roman is on a team related to Greco-Roman mythology. Emerald is Cleopatra, Mercury is Mercury, Cinder is Rhodopis (Greek Cinderella), and Roman is Lucifer.

Theory 2: Roman is on a team of Disney characters. Roman is Lampwick (Pinocchio), Cinder is Cinderella, Mercury is Hermes (Hercules), and Emerald is Esmeralda (Hunchback).

Theory 3: Roman is on a team of alchemical components: Roman is Romanium, Cinder is Sulfur, Mercury is Mercury (Hydrargentum), and Emerald alludes to the Emerald Tablet.

Theory 4: Roman's team is composed of members who were all previously on other four-person teams. Cinder was teamed with Summer (theme seasons), Mercury was teamed with Sun (theme planets), Emerald was teamed with other people named after jewels (not Ruby because her behavior suggests she's never been on a team before), Roman was teamed with other Disney, perhaps even Pinocchio characters (perhaps not Penny as they showed no recognition toward one another).

Theory 5: Roman is based on Nero who began the tradition of Roman Candles.

Theory 6: Roman's name alludes to Candlewick's real name Romeo, making all previous theories rather superfluous.
