Personality
Antonio is a cheerful and optimistic young adult. He’s also friendly and very easy to get along with. Almost always with a smile on his face, he will go through great lengths to make the people around him smile as well. He appears clueless at times because of his inability to read the atmosphere, though when someone is to mess with the people he cares about, he becomes aggressively passionate and protective. He likes the outdoors (especially when it’s sunny) and dreams of traveling to many exotic places.
background story
Antonio spent most of his life in Santiago de Compostela. Despite seeing the cruel end to his parents’ and siblings’ lives with his own eyes at the young age of five, he was taught to have an optimistic outlook on life by the sisters at the orphanage he was sent to after the unfortunate event.
His twelve-year stay at the orphanage was what he considered to be the richest period of his life. While there, he got along well with everyone he encountered, and made a lot of precious friends. It was always painful whenever one of his amigos were taken away through adoption, though Antonio had learned to bear with it and instead tried his best to stay in touch with each and everyone of them.
He was a precocious child, and out of great curiosity and enthusiasm was able to master Galician, Spanish, English, and even a little Italian. He was also talented in football and had devoted himself to it since the age of nine. Having been skilled enough to play and place top in youth leagues with his team, he made it his ambition to one day be a part of the national team. But the dream was shattered when he had to suffer from Achilles tendon rupture at the age of fifteen.
Since the orphanage couldn’t afford surgical treatment for the injury, Antonio’s physical rehalibitation became longer and more difficult to accomplish, which made him afraid to play football again even after he’d fully recovered; though he still took pleasure in watching the game.
And on the bright side, he was able to develop a new interest while under restricted leg movement: classical guitar. He would spend his time away from school sitting at the orphanage’s garden and learning song after song on his Spanish language teacher’s old guitar, and in less than a year he was already composing his own music and songs.
The next years for him were peaceful, for despite the economic slump caused by the Spanish Civil War, the orphanage was thankfully not taken down. Also, he was able to successfully complete his university studies without hindrance because of Spain’s neutrality during WWII, and he earned his own finances by taking a job as a part-time musician for a local bar, while still residing in the orphanage and working as a caretaker/teacher to the young orphans.
It was during his graduation trip to France that he encountered Fond De L’Etang, and after learning about its infamy with its troublesome students, Antonio decided that his first step into the real world would involve becoming a teacher in that school, with the idea of helping those students fueling his determination. His mind made up and his resolve strong, he moved out of the orphanage, and away from Galicia, to begin a new chapter of his life in Fond De L’Etang.
Extras
Antonio has a peculiar love for any type of food that contains tomatoes, and he's a very touchy-feely person.
RP sample
It was a beautiful and sunny Friday afternoon, and Antonio was itching to get out of the restricting classroom to take a well-overdue walk around town, but alas, he still had this sizable stack of papers to grade. At the moment, he didn’t know whether he thought it was good or bad that a lot of students there were interested in learning Spanish.
As he began going through the tests he gave on verb conjugations, Antonio sent a fleeting glance at the corner to the mahogany closet in which he kept his guitar. He sighed; it was the middle of the semester, and he had become too busy with working that it had been a while since he just sat down, relaxed, and played the instrument.
He stopped grading papers for a moment, thoughts drifting back to the time when he was free to just sit on the grass and play his guitar at the garden of the orphanage. It made him wonder if he really made the right choice by applying for a teaching job at the school.
A light rapping on the door shook him out of his musing, and he turned towards the one who caused it, unable to stop the smile from spreading across his face when he saw that it was a student clutching the last worksheet Antonio had last graded and returned to the class.
“Um… Señor Carriedo... Could you please help go over my mistakes in the last homework?”
Yes, Antonio thought as he nodded and waved the student over, still smiling brightly. I definitely made the right choice.
