Character Sheet - Ernesto Castillo Manzanares
Species:
Human
Sex:
Male
Age:
19
Height:
1.65, / Almost 5' 5"
Will grow to around 1.9 m in the following years (Around 6' 3")
Hair:
Dirty blonde, generally short and well cared for.
Eyes:
Caramel, light.
Skin:
Peach colored.
Particularities:
Mature, serious and always looks you in the eyes. He is the kind of person that will make sure to notice any discrepancy or lie on you if you ever try a fast one on him.
Very dutiful and loyal, generally able to tell you to your face that he is going to punch you if he wants to do so. He isn't a good liar and will generally make things clear from the get go.
You tell him to do something and he says yes? Consider it done. Dependable is almost his middle name.
Sadly him growing too fast has also made him slightly socially incompetent. While he can read people incredibly well and maneuver most encounters unnaturally well, this doesn't mean he KNOWS he is doing the right thing. If he gets even SLIGHTLY tipsy? Everything comes crashing down and he becomes so incompetent in a conversation you'd better film the car crash.
Interests:
Very few in reality. He has a thing for numbers like his mother, but nothing beyond passing interest.
Games are his vice to unwind, but not enough to be anything other than a casual gamer. He is good at them, but no more than half an hour, or an hour, a day.
Finds more rewarding to be doing repetitive, mundane work, than something more complex and always changing.
Painting, as in walls and other larger surfaces, seems to be a relaxing activity to him. Does he like it? Good question.
His guilty pleasure is modern music. He considers it trash, but still likes it.
Magic Affinity (If Applicable):
Water (Offensive focus)
Attire:
Formal dressing most of the time: Tidy shirt, proper pants and shoes. May even break jackets and ties if he feels like it.
Is not adverse to something simpler in casual settings, but don't count on it.
Won't use shades or other accessories unless he has to, so no jewelry or anything like that.
Will DEFINITELY not use anything that is considered to be linked with hippy, gangster (as in street gang, not proper gangster, like Leonor) or other such subcultures. In fact that kind of thing disgust him something fierce.
Ironically likes fantasies (games, mostly) where he does the exact opposite: Mismatched clothings, dirty and informal, ganger and so on. A way to live the life without really doing so.
Physical:
Quite a bit shorter than his brother, Ernesto is, nonetheless, clearly going to have a growth spurt at some point. In spite of his shorter stature he has a much more healthy complexion, looks physically strong for his size and has clear care of his skin and hair in mind, making him quite the looker. Sharp features, intense eyes, a serious expression and a ready to go posture all make his otherwise regular, is slightly more fit than the average, and appears far more intimidating to anyone any less intense. Otherwise his appearance is normal, getting close to what you'd expect of someone regularly going to the gym.
Personality:
Generally serious, duty bound, loyal to the point of being unable to break the connection unless attacked or wronged first, and not fond of wasteful or laid back activities unless it is downtime. Can have a more relaxed persona if he is around those he cares for.
At one point really sweet, nice, innocent and generally a delight to be around, Ernesto grew up to be very serious and no nonsense in his approach most of the time, and this long before anything went wrong at home. He lacked the hard time keeping or making friends than the rest of his cousins did, much like his brother while Pablo was much more open and serious about sports, and this was thanks to his natural charisma and easy way reading other people without even trying. It was, perhaps, thanks to this that he saw things going badly in the future, thus his personality changed on the outside into a more serious one.
Still sweet, nice, loyal and very much warm to those he cares about and those he truly befriends, that doesn't mean much for anyone watching from the outside. To strangers, or people he has no real friendship with, Ernesto looks like a cold, distant and very dangerous person that looks at you as if you are worth less than nothing. Not intentional mind you, but that is how he looks by default, something he acknowledges and fully abuses to make others somewhat unease or nervous in his presence and control most conversations.
It takes very little for those in the known to understand that Ernesto wants nothing more than to stop this new persona of his, but feels the need to become the solid ground needed for his mother to thread. Within Ernesto is a young man that yearns for parties, friends, perhaps a girlfriend (or a few friends with benefits) and a lot of fun. But the stronger side of his mind is that of the son worried for his mother and willing to do anything for her if needed be, thus his own wants are relegated to the backburner, perhaps never to be seen again until the storm is weathered.
What song or music would fit:
Royalty (With slow and reverberation). While not fully fitting of him at the moment, a somewhat sad, loyal chant, or what sounds like it, is what fits him best… at least for things to come.
Visual Aid (if any):
None yet!
