Appearance

- Not necessarily strict about his appearance, but rather raised to consider being 'dressed-up' as the proper way to look
   This means it's hard to ever see him wearing casual clothes; he genuinely feels comfortable wearing undershirts, dress shirts, ties, and suitjackets/suits. And not having your hair done back means you've given up on trying to look decent, or so his older brothers say.
- Dark hair and deep dark eyes... Somehow doesn't look ominous whatsoever. It helps that he smiles a lot.
- His glasses aren't too important. As he grows older he realizes he needs them especially when reading/writing, though.
- Compared to some siblings, he's not that tall. But beyond his height, he still manages to come off slightly wide-looking. Is it muscle? Is it fat? Who knows under all those nice clothes...

Personality

- Clean-cut and sweet, he is a ray of sunshine ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ)
- He is fairly honest when it comes to his feelings!
   Not so much when it comes to 'business', work, and his feelings in those areas.
- At times he can muddle his impulses with the reality of things, accelerating issues/diversions for his own selfishness...
- But overall he tries to be selfless and thoughtful about others. He thinks, rationally, he's allowed moments of weakness. (And with how much work he puts into taking care of his daughter, it's any wonder he doesn't have far more moments of weakness lol)
- Not very confrontational or spiteful. Rarely has reason to be envious and as such doesn't seem to be a jealous, rude type of person (inside and out)
- Yes, he seems pretty dull and one-dimensional. That's his thing... It keeps him safe/sane and he actually finds comfort in it.

BIO

11887629_53f0wwdj0cIaFFJ.png

  PROFESSOR DAD 
no honestly he's a scientist (and used to be an assistant prof).

To Gene... Being Dad comes first. If his daughter, Maritza, doesn't approve of you, you ain't shit and see your way out!!

Gene truly stays young by minding his business in all manners, and just takes care of himself and his daughter.

What-- why are you asking about mafia ties?
And his family spearheading his career all along?
Noooooooo...... Surely you're just making up some sort of sick rumor..... 

In truth, he sees a lot of shit-- and has had a lot of shit happen to himself personally. Yet, somehow, the old(er) thug is full of love and kindness... Given his circumstances anyway.

He was actually born in New Jersey but moved out to New York with his cousin, Johnny. It was all fun and games until he felt stuck when his daughter, Maritza, was born (out of wedlock, my my so scandalous). But now that Maritza has grown a little and likes it in New York, they are STAYING there!
It doesn't hurt that Gene just likes being able to see Baby every now and then, but of course New York gives Gene just as many opportunities that he'd have if he went back to Jersey. He's known to make any situation work out, and his science-work makes life much more fun in between raising his 'angel'.


Relationships

Maritza (DAUGHTER)
Maritza is Gene's one and only, the reason why he gets up everyday, the love and light of his life. It may sound silly, and seem ridiculous to anyone else, but Gene truly didn't expect his child to ever have such a large impact on his life-- barring the fact he was always a pleasant, open fellow, there was an intrinsic change all about him the day baby Maritza was placed in his arms.
Maritza's mother never seemed to have her heart into taking proper care of the baby; it wasn't long before Gene broke it off with her and kept Maritza all to himself, and without fuss but instead excitement and joy. It would be impossible for even Gene to feel there are days it's difficult taking care of his daughter (especially without a partner), but the situations that try him with this sweet, beautiful girl are few and far between of the amazing moments.
She is spoiled rotten and everyone but Gene seems to understand this. She has commandeered so much of his free time that it begins to become hard for him to imagine having privacy the older she grows... He would go to the ends of the Earth for her even if she nonchalantly demanded it. And yes, as everything written above suggests, Maritza has ridiculously large sway over what Gene decides is important or not.

Johnny Baby (COUSIN)

One of the cousins that moved to New York with him forever ago. They're very tight despite the degree of separation in their family ties. They do consider each other something like brothers, though it's never exactly been said implicitly. There's a lot of love and honesty between them that most others that know the two have never seen or heard.

Tano (BROTHER)

Tano is Gene's estranged older brother. Tano was the oldest of the siblings, and the only one who had taken a chance running away from home. Gene was the youngest, and because of this, he barely remembers anything about the man. Sometimes Tano's mere existence seemed like a fairy tale or something, what with the guy looking like a giant in his eyes. As is the way of their family, Gene still thinks fondly of him and misses him. Realistically, Tano is probably dead. Right...?

Trivia

  • For the love of god don't call him 'Gino', he hates it! Just 'Gene'!
  • Speaks fluent English and Italian-- Italian was his first language in tandem with English, due to being first generation Italian-American.
       He definitely has a preference for English.
  • Has several other siblings barring Node's estrangement (six other legitimate siblings-- as in, siblings he was raised with, being born from his mother and father-- his dad was a big player and got around, but not many of the Antonino family knows about that until far later)
  • Voiceclaim is along the lines of George Clooney-- a little less raspy on low notes, but p much that soft/flowing deep cadence.
