Name and Number: Lovino (Romano) Vargas -- 9
Nation: Repubblica Italiana (South)
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Year: Junior
Birthday: March 17
Team: Blue
Personality:
Lovino is very much like his brother Veneziano (Feliciano), at least to some extent, largely in the way he handle his emotions and how he expresses them. He tends to have very extreme emotions, although not very often happy; turning from happy to being in tears to being angry much like someone with bipolar. Although that is not to say that he actually suffers the disorder, Lovino is simply very… passionate and emotive. The Italian likes to vent most of his frustration out on his fratello, although he does care, at least a little, for Veneziano. He tries to keep that very tightly under wraps, instead demanding that his brother show him affection instead, and give him some of his money. This, of course, only makes him look like a complete dick.
When it comes to his language he can be quite crude, and always speaks his mind without considering the consequences. He has insulting nicknames for some people, oblivious to how the may offend some people.
Lovino feels he is confused for his fratello, and as such chooses to be as different as he can. However the personality similarities make him almost identical. To combat this, Lovino chose to be on the blue team.
History:
Lovino, technically, is only the half-brother of Veneziano. Raised in the southern half of Italy by his mother, very rarely seeing his father, Lovino developed a fairly thick skin. Well, you’d think he would have. Sadly, it seemed to do the opposite. Obviously genetics overcame his upbringing. Having to be quite self-reliant, Lovino has some difficultly showing any sort of affection. Or he does, but in his own unique way.
The relationship between himself and Veneziano is average. He calls him ‘fratello’ even though they are technically only half brothers. However, unlike the other Vargas brother, he is not overly fussed on hugging, but does demand some sort of affection and flattery from Veneziano. Same with their father.
His thoughts on Antonio vary from day to day. Sometimes he can just cope with the Spaniard, the next he simply doesn’t really want anything to do with him. Lovino externally holds and insists there is no love at all for the other student and constantly calls him ‘tomato bastard’ to drill that into Antonio’s head, even though that seems to fail. It isn't really clear what he really thinks of the Spaniard.
Lovino isn’t sure what he thinks of Ludwig. He finds the German far too uptight, and the fact his brother constantly latches to him somewhat annoying. The teacher terrifies him to a point, with his discussions on Nazism. And his loud yelling, and well… almost everything about the German makes him cower. He however has no real choice but to have to interact with Ludwig, being one of his teachers and associated with the blue team. Lovino tries to imitate his tough attitude but, being Lovino, it isn’t really effective.
School Identity:
Lovino is quite introverted, preferring to keep close to a few people he trusts. To keep others at bay, the Italian becomes quite snarky and rude, although this isn’t done intentionally. To try and help him develop social skills, he had been forcefully signed up as a basic member of the student council, the football team and the gardening club by his mother.
Skills:
Lovino is quite skilled at growing his own food, thank you very much. However, unlike his fratello he finds no joy in cooking. Already capable of driving (although he isn't allowed to in the States) Lovino feels that he is 'mature' already, although that is something debatable. Already quite good at football, he hopes that by attending the school he might somehow make a name for himself in the sport.
RP Sample:
Lovino walked into the auditorium slowly, watching the other students laugh and joke about. He didn’t really have anyone to joke with just yet, having only just arrived. Well, there was his fratello, but Lovino wasn’t really comfortable around the other Vargas just yet. Especially with all the hugging. Finding a seat towards the back, he sat down, wearily watching those on either side of him. Lovino had his arms crossed in front of his chest defensively, eyeing the other students around him now. He spotted his fratello, but didn’t bother waving him over, nor did he make any sign that he had noticed Veneziano. The Vargas was curious as to why they were all being called here. He was unaware that his father had any reason to. Maybe some ‘welcome to school’ talk? Possibly. At that moment, he decided that he couldn’t be bothered listening at all.
Zoning out, watching the other students, Lovino found his attention snapping back to the principal. Teams? What was this? Red, blue or white. As each number was called, the Italian listened as the students declared which colour they would declare their alliance to. Veneziano had chosen red. There’s no way I’m going to choose red too, he decided, frowning some. Well, he kind of did, to be with someone he knew. But Lovino decided, well actually that was a lie. His mother had told him to try to meet some new people.
So, hearing “number 9, Lovino Vargas”, he walked up towards the front, ignoring the principal’s friendly wave, he knew which he was going to choose.
“Blue”, Lovino said clearly, heading back to his seat. This certainly was going to be an interesting year.
Other:
- Same with Alex account, I'll be on at odd times
- I'll probably add more to his personality and such later.
