Character Details
Full Name: Diego Fabio-Juan Valentino (mouthful ><)
Age: 36
Place of Birth: Harlem
Gender: Male
Appearance: A tall, well built man with skin showing his Hispanic heritage. Eyes are of a dark brown colour, slightly more sunken in than the norm, often surrounded by dark bags from lack of sleep. The only hair upon his head are his thick dark eyebrows and the rough stubble than carpets his chin and above his mouth... his head is shaved bald. His arms and back are covered with various tattoos, large letters spreading across the back of his shoulders, reading 'Los Bandalaros' (The Bandits)... the name of a childhood gang.
Person Used for avatar/sig: Vin Diesel
Flaws: Diego is a big gambler... not only with his money, but with his life in many occasions. He doesn't really think of consequences... as though he thinks himself to be invincible. He also likes to get straight to the point of things and speaks his mind, even in the most heated of situations
Brief History:
Born in Spanish Harlem, Diego knows what its like to have a rough life. Being only one in a large family consisting of many children, he was sent to work as soon as he could walk and talk by himself. His family was quite well-off compared to most, but they were nowhere near being 'rich'. This meant Diego could at least work at quite a respectable establishment.
He was just a cleaner of sorts, at the local small-time casino, for a good few years, where he picked up alot very quickly. It didn't take long for him to get into the gambling scene... and he was good at it, his young eyes and ears learning the tricks-of-the-trade easily. He handled alot of money, for a youngster... too much for some peoples likings...
It was bound to happen... one night as he left for home from work, getting ready for the 30 minute walk to his district, he was followed and dragged into an alleyway by a group, where he had his winnings stolen and his nose broken. His attackers were foolish enough to show their faces... and later that night, Diego turned up on their doorstep, a metal pipe in his hand and the breathing of his gang behind him. The thieves never walked again...
After that... he had to leave town for a while... and where does everyone go when they need to lay low from the fuzz? Mexico of course... and with the money he had built up from working and gambling, he had no problem getting there. Once he realized how much of an easy life it was, he didn't consider returning home for at least a decade or two. When he finally decided he would pay his family a visit... he didn't know how to get all the way back to Harlem by car. He got lost along the way, ending up in New Winchester... where something caught his eye... in the middle of a field...
