Lovino Vargas [WIP]

[Guest]

Name: Lovino Vargas
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Quarter: Southwest
Job: Lovino owns an open market. However, due to the conditions of the Southwest Quarter, his store has been a target of shoplifting since it opened.
God(s): Lovino does his best to respect each god equally. However, he mostly prays to the Roman goddess, Fortuna, for good luck.
Gift: Lovino is able to foresee misfortune, from small things such as losing an item to much larger things such as someone dying. In order for his "gift" to activate, he must meet a person at least once and have some sort of physical contact with them--whether it be bumping into them while walking or something more--so that he can see what misfortune awaits them.

Personality:
Lovino is fairly cynical and has a very jaded view of life. In addition to this, Lovino is anti-social, especially towards men. Occasionally, he'll chat with his customers, but they're usually short conversations. Most of the time, what he says ends up hurting them, whether it was on purpose or on accident. This usually leads to them stealing produce from his market. On that note, he uses a lot of profanity, mainly to describe whatever predicament he finds himself in (usually a terrible situation).

Adding on to his "people skills" Lovino has a very hard time expressing concern and sympathy towards others--mainly due to the fact that not that many people treated him that way. He is viewed by others as an irritable young man, which he is for the most part. He is quick to lash out at others, believing strongly in the "hurt them before they hurt me" tactic.

Lovino is quite lazy. There are times where he'll have his customers ring up their items and bag what they've bought by themselves. In the afternoon, he'll usually leave his market to go home and take a nap. Most of the time, he won't even want to go back to his market and ends up staying at home. In some cases, he'll just fall asleep at his store.

Overall, Lovino is the type of person who keeps his distance for others and does his best to muddle through each day. He tends to stick with himself, rarely socializing with others.

Appearance:

Lovino has a medium build, although he's gradually getting thinner due to his living conditions. He has tanned skin from working in his small field. He has a curl that rests on the right side of his head. As much as he would like to cooperate with the rest of his dark brown hair, it never does. He has hazel eyes that have hints of green when they're lit with sunlight. He usually wears a plain shirt along with cargo pants, which are usually filled with vegetable seeds and various gardening tools. He does his best to look decent, but is usually covered in dirt from his field. Occasionally, he'll wear an olive, hooded cloak--mainly to prevent his skin from getting any more tan and to keep himself warm during cold nights. Lovino wears a red medallion that he keeps hidden underneath his shirt (he's had it since he was a child).

Strengths: (Can be simply listed, at least 5)
Frugal: Due to his living conditions, Lovino learned how to spend his money on priorities, such as food.
Commitment: Another strength he gained from his living conditions. Lovino learned that to make a living and to survive in the harsh reality of life, he needed to make sacrafices and commit to his work, even if it paid a small amount.
Caution: Lovino is careful about who he trusts. With people constantly trying to steal from his market, he can't help but be wary of those who walk within several inches of him.
Tough Appearance: Since he's almost always scowling, many assume that Lovino is strong and keep away from him. He uses this to his advantage when needed (for example, if someone tries to steal from his market and he catches them in the act, he'll glare at them, making them feel afraid and ultimately return what they attempted to steal).
Speed: In dangerous situations, he's able to escape by running away. It is said that he can run fast whenever he's frightened or angered.

Weaknesses: (Can be simply listed, at least 5)
Easily Scared: Despite his tough exterior, he's a complete coward. The moment he's cornered, he'll ask someone to help him. If he knows no one will help, he'll try to suck up to whoever's cornering him and bribe them.
Laziness: As commited as he is to his work, there are times where he won't want to do anything. If he's not working or doing something productive, he's usually found napping either at home or in his store.
Greed: Coming from a poor background, naturally, a part of Lovino is completely greedy. Most of the things he owns was stolen at some point in time.
Wrath: Most of his life, Lovino allowed his anger to control his actions.
Trust Issues/Anti-Social: Adding on to his anger, Lovino has a hard time trusting other people. He is quick to believe that no one will be there for him, causing him to keep his distance.
Foul Mouthed: Lovino uses a lot of curse words to emphasis certain situations and to express his anger.

Likes: (Can be simply listed, at least 5)
Cooking--Mainly pasta dishes. If he has leftover flour from his store, he'll use it to make pasta
Gardening/Farming--As lazy as he is, he enjoys taking care of his crops.
Various Red Objects/Tomatoes--He has a fondness for red things, especially tomatoes. On a side note, since tomato seeds are the cheapest, he has a vast amount of them growing in his field.
Naps--If he doesn't take at least one nap a day, he'll be more irritable than usual.
Daytime--For some reason, the sunlight soothes him, and prefers it over shade.

Dislikes: (Can be simply listed, at least 5)
Talking--He tends to keep to himself, especially when it comes to his own feelings.
Nighttime--

[b]Quirks: (Can be simply listed, at least 3)
Verbal Tic--Whenever someone pulls on his hair--usually younger kids who find it amusing--Lovino mutters, "Chigi!" as a reaction and tries to get out of the child's reach. He'll also say this whenever he's upset, followed by swearing.


[b]Phobias: (Can be simply listed, at least 2)
[u]Being Alone--Even though Lovino prefers not to talk to people, he can't stand the thought of being left alone. He'll get by as long as there are people around, even if they don't interact with each other.
The Darkness--He hates the dark, especially nighttime. Due to this, he often sleeps with a candle lit by his bedside so that his room won't be completely shrouded by darkness.

History: (Be detailed! Please make this section at least 3 paragraphs long)

Lovino was born into a wealthy family that lived in the Northeast Quarter. For the first few years of his life, he lived happily with his parents and his grandfather. However, when his younger brother was born, Lovino was often forgotten by his family members.
