Carlos Vicente

The "black sheep" of his (slightly impoverished) otherwise respectable family, Carlos wanted more out of life and fell in with a bad crowd in his early teens, never looking back. He tends to disappear on his family for days or weeks at a time, (doing god knows what,) and though they try to be patient with him and always welcome him back, they have pretty much written him off as a lost cause at this point, and won't be too surprised to one day hear he's been found dead. He's been in and out of prison a few times, both in the United States and Mexico, and never seems to learn his lesson, always back on his bullshit the moment he's a free man again. His parents had tried to put him in the same strict Catholic school his cousin Gabriel eventually attended, in an attempt to get him to change his evil ways, but he was quickly expelled for bad behavior...

Personality

Well...he's not a good person and doesn't have a whole lot of redeeming qualities. XD He's got both that "YOLO" and "haters make me famous" mentality, and generally says and does whatever the hell he wants. He craves excitement in life and is always coming and going. He usually seems to be in a good/excited mood and is outgoing and talkative, sometimes to an obnoxious degree, and his way of showing "affection" to those he likes is to tease them relentlessly. (Always with a "haha, just kidding!" if they seem mad about it.) But he "knows his place" so to speak, and minds himself with people who have authority over him, calling them "boss", "chief", etc. and is good at sucking up to people when necessary, or when he wants something. (He's such a moocher!) Dangerous situations, fights, and violence excite him, and though he has caused plenty of physical harm to others he rarely ever shows anger when doing so...he'll stab someone with a smile on his face. (And during those rare times he is angry he's like the Tasmanian devil cartoon. XD) He's practically fearless and seems to think he's invincible, (one wonders how he'd actually react when faced with death.) He doesn't like talking about "personal things" or emotions & feelings, and is quick to brush it off or change the subject if it ever comes up.

Mannerisms

He tends to carry himself with proud, confident posture and his most common facial expression is a shit-eating grin. He's also good at sneaking up on people, seemingly appearing out of nowhere (to ruin their day.) During conversation he has a tendency to cluck his tongue or scoff at people ALL too often, sometimes before they're even done speaking. He smokes a lot, usually has a cigarette in hand, and likes showing off by blowing smoke rings. He's also quite a lech and is shameless about checking out boobs/butts/etc. and whistling at people he finds attractive, and is a bit of a flirt, too.

Voice

His voice isn't particularly deep, nor is it high, it's just...something in between, and has a rather youthful quality to it. His first language is Spanish and he's completely fluent in English as well, and can switch seamlessly between speaking the two (and often does with others who are also bilingual), and he also has a Mexican accent when speaking in English. He's rather loud and knows it, but doesn't bother to lower his voice even when he KNOWS he's being annoying. He also laughs very often and, ofc, loudly as well.

Preferences

Likes: his friends, causing trouble/fights, blood, smoking (cigs & weed), partying
Dislikes: police, being bored, being alone, responsibility, all his exes, school

Looks

Hair: Black, slightly curly hair, cut into a tapered fade: the back of his head and sides are shaved, while it's left longer on the top. It is always cut into a v shape in the back. (Hard to explain, but it's pretty much like this.)

Eyes: A dark, chocolate-brown color & fairly wide

Build: He's rather thin and lean, and kind of has a "prison body"...his legs are scrawny and he has a narrow waist/flat stomach, but his arms are fairly muscular and his shoulders are broad. He also has very little body hair.

Scars/Body Modifications/Other distinguishing features: He has a lot of lame tattoos, so here we go XD...Firstly, he has a small birthmark at the upper corner of his lip, on the left side. Has many knife-related scars on both arms, some are permanent, others will fade over time. As for the tats: black x's on all his knuckles, a large cobra on his right arm with a cluster of roses & thorns below that (which wrap around his wrist like a bracelet), a chain around his left bicep, a tiny black heart on the left side of his neck, and a tiny teardrop under his left eye. Also has bloody stitch tattoos on his back to resemble "scars from wings that were cut off." Has the name "Maria" written in cursive on the left side of his chest (supposed to be over his heart), which has been crossed out with a thick black line. (It's his ex's name lmao.)

Clothing

His style is reminiscent of 1950s "rockabilly" clothes: he likes wearing short or long sleeved button up shirts (usually bowling shirts) with plain t-shirts or tank tops underneath. Sometimes wears flannel shirts (long or short sleeved) or just a tank top or t-shirt when it's hot out. For pants it's always jeans (sometimes cuffed up), or black slacks. He loves the colors black, red, and white, and always wears combinations of these. Has a gold watch he sometimes wears, too.
