 STORY

"I'm shooting straight for your heart."

Nicola Ricci lives the high life, fueled by his fame and fortune. Performing under the stage name Malocchio, the charming persona and dulcet tones of this Venice-based pop-rock singer have made him an international heartthrob. With his fortune, he spends much of his time playing slots, taking lovers, and partying on the outskirts of Venice, where it is perpetually Carnevale. However, he still knows to take the important things in life seriously and uses his fame to advocate for omnic rights.

Though stories on his rise to fame vary, it's common knowledge that he's well-beloved now, even with only vague details of his past. Other than mentions of being adopted, his family life remains a mystery to even the most dedicated of his fans, despite many of their best efforts. While some see this mysteriousness as a red flag, many simply see his elusive nature as just another part of his charm.

Due to his advocacy for omnic rights, his party life, and his villa's location, rumors have arisen of him being connected to Le Maschere, a Venice-based omnic private protection firm branded, "The Omnic Mafia" for its methods.
Malocchio takes these rumors in stride, joking about them or simply laughing them off. Rumors are just rumors, after all.

Right?

BACKGROUND


Nicola was born to a single Romani-Italian mother in Naples, Italy. An omnic supporter lacking a place of belonging, his mother would eventually become a spy and informant for Le Maschere, who had a Naples base in addition to their main headquarters in Venice. Mascherari, omnic founder and leader of the organization, would eventually fall in love with her and adopt Nicola as his own son.

After her death, however, Mascherari would come to distance himself from humanity, eventually beginning to treat his son as more of a tool for improving omnic-human relations than an actual person, let alone as a son. From the moment his mother died, Nicola was reared to take the exact path his father set up for him, doing as he said and having little choice to make major life decisions on his own.

MALOCCHIO

It was his father who would come to push him towards a music career, as the resulting stardom would allow Nicola to advocate for omnic rights (and other ideologies attached to Le Maschere) to a large audience without having the stigma of the omnic mafia attached to his name. 

Even now, Malocchio is noted by his fans for his questionable origins, all unaware of Mascherari playing the puppeteer. Regardless, his talent and charisma allow him to remain well-liked among the majority.

  INTERACTIONS
TriggerQuote
DiwataDiwata: Please try not pull any reckless moves this time, Nico. I won't be there to save you every time.
Malocchio: Maybe I'm being reckless because I want you there for me.
Diwata: I worry about our base in Cavite, sometimes. If it's not up to par when I go back to check it, I might just have to run it myself.
Malocchio: But you'd be an entire ocean away, dolcezza! I'd miss you.
DoomfistDoomfist: A shame your people decided to break off their alliance with Talon. We could have become something greater together.
Malocchio: In case you've forgotten, that alliance was purely subterfuge. We have all the information we want now.
Doomfist: I can see why Maximilien chose us over you. I'd hate to be bossed around by children.
Malocchio: Psh, you can keep him. We've got no room for a snake with a built-in receding hairline.
D.VaMalocchio: A life behind cameras can be pretty overwhelming, even for me. If you ever wanna talk about anything...
D.Va:  Hey, I'm doing perfectly fine on my own! ...but thanks, anyway.
Malocchio: Hey there, sweetheart. Did you know I beat most of Super Mario 64 in only half-A presses?
D.Va: *laughs* Because that's totally impressive.
HanzoHanzo: You remind me of somebody I killed long ago...
Malocchio: Oh, uh, hm. Well. I hope you don't kill me.
JunkratJunkrat: Are your arms made of solid gold?
Malocchio: No. Nonononononono. Don't look at me like that! No touching! 
LúcioLúcio: Man, it's so much harder to book concerts with the law breathing down your neck.
Malocchio: That's why you've gotta have connections, babe. Luckily, you've got me.
Lúcio: So, when are we dropping the hottest collab of 2076?
Malocchio: *laughs* When you either get a new studio or swing by mine.
McCreeMalocchio: Apparently, you have something that I don't. But what...
McCree: The hell are you on about?
StrigoiMalocchio: Why can't you just leave us alone?
Strigoi: It's them I want, not you. Your fault for associating yourself with those pathetic excuses for scrap metal.
ZenyattaMalocchio: I'm sorry we couldn't prevent what happened to Signore Mondatta.
Zenyatta: You and your family did all you could, Nicola. Please, don't blame yourself for something that you had no power to stop.
