FULL NAME: Giovanni james martenetti
NICKNAMES?: gianni
GRADE: sophomore
GENDER: male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: straight
OCCUPATION:
Gianni comes a family with more then enough money, so he's never had to work. he'll obtain his father's law firm one he's passed on, and after he graduates will become co-owner with his father, so he has no need for a job when his father provies him with every luxury he could ever need.
SOCIAL STATUS: first class


and the way she looked was way beyond compare ,[/COLOR][/font]
HEIGHT: 6'1
WEIGHT: 159
HAIR:
gianni has dark blonde, almost light brown tinted hair. He's always kept it short, just how he was raised to keep it. He'd never fall, nor did he fall, into the surfer look with his hair. He thinks it childish for the guys who do have it. He was brought up in a world of business, so looks were and always will be very important. Clean cut is the way to go in his opinion.
EYES:
Gianni's eyes are as captivating as a blue green sea, the have beauty and mystery to them. Though simple, they still have the power to easily draw someone in. Justinhas been told for years that his eyes are what first draw a girl to him, but they never know exactly why. They have told him that his eyes are like a safe haven, are warm and welcoming. The color somewhat changes from time to time. Ranging more into the blue spectrum, and then changing to a more greenish tint.
BODY TYPE:
Gianni is just a naturally fit guy, he wasn't really all that into sports in high school. So he was lucky to have good genetics from both sides of the family. Growing up he was abit on the skinner side, but it was just how he was built back then. But when high school came along, he filled out rather nicely. He grew into the body of an athelete, but he really wasn't one. And still today has that body, he just got lucky is all it is.
PIERCINGS/TATTOOS:
Justin has only one tattoo on his body. On his right wrist in black ink, and a beautiful cursive sits his mother's name. he got it at age nineteen, when his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. and next to her name is a small pink heart. many people think its his girlfriends name or something at first, adn give him odd looks about the tattoo. but he knows, and so does his family, that it is really for his mother.
ANYTHING ELSE?:
Just like everything else about Gianni, its all about clean cut and staying sharp. You never know who'll you'll run into, or what could come up last minute. So you should always be ready for whatever comes your way. Even in casual attire Gianni still looks like clean. He isn't into the whole logo attired shirts like a lot of people are, nor was he ever even back in high school or middle school. He tends to wear a lot of button up shirts, and nice dark jeans. What would usually be dressy for most guys, is his simple everyday attire.
OVERALL:
Gianni is a product of his enviroment. He comes from a high class family, he carries himself out in a repsectful manner at all times. He can seem to be stuck up with the way he presents himself at times, but he is just strong minded. He's a very serious person most of the time, and that is strongly presented through his appearence and how he carries himself out. If he coems across as stuck up, who cares. he surelly doesn't.

PERSONALITY:

• quiet
  Gianni has alwasy been more the quiet type. He doesn't get caught up in a whole lot of drama and hype. It isn't the way he wants to live his life, nor has it ever been. He grew up in a large loud family, and was the ring leader of his cousins. So he never had to do much talking, just had to give simple head nods and people know what to do. And don't take him for being shy either, he isn't shy at all. He just is reserved, and likes to have a peaceful nature.
  
• independent
  Aside from his father supporting him, Gianni is a really independent young man. His father supporting him is something that has been going on for generations in his family. The father supports his son until he needs his son to support him. Its a fair way of life, and no one is ever left without a helping hand. Gianni doesn't need a whole lot of people around him that aren't his family. He knows that family are the only people you can really trust, so why risk losing trust?
  
• trusting
  Gianni is a very trusting person. hes never spilt a secret in his entire life. Its the way he was raised. Italian families alwasy have mobsteres in them, and everyone knows about who they are adn what they've done. And knowing this information means you better have tight lips. Just becasue you're family doesn't mean someone won't turn around and put a cap in your head.
  
• honest
  Honesty is something Gianni belives highly in, and it doesn't fail in himself. He's open, and will tell you straight up how he feels about you. Sure, the truth may hurt at times, and it can be harsh. But you ask for it, then you should be able to handle it. Sure, he's told lies in his life time. But when you have to be loyla nad trustworthy, you have to tell lies to protect your family and your own hide at times.
  
• romantic
  Ya, so what the guy has never had an actual relationship in his life time? That don't eman he doesn't know hom to treat a lady the way she deserves to be treated. He grew up in a family where women always get repsect no matter what, and more then half of the time twice as much repsect as the men did. He also grew up with two younger sisters, which also plays a role in where he's learned how to treat a women right. He was a protective big brother or sure, just because he didn't date in high school doesn't mean the same for his younger sisters.
  

LOVES:

• religion
  Just like any good Itailian boy, religion is the center of his world. Though his faith is a bit stronger then most of his cousins, who got caught up in the typical teenage stupidty. He decided to save himself for his wife, and kept that promise. And unlike most of his cousins, he actually attended church every sunday, and went to two services. He for surely made his mother proud with this, for she too herself was really caught up in religion growing up.
  
• futbol
  Yes futbol, not football. He grew up cheering on the Itailian futbal team. Though, never played the sport. He was always too busy with his studies, trying his best to get ahead of everyone else so he could take harder and more advanced classes. But every wolrd cup that rolls around, he makes his way to go and watch a few games live with his dad, uncle Tony, and his cousin Hector. Its like most American men and their football craze, only not with the pig skin.
  
• traveling
  Gianni loves to travel all over the world. he's been to every country in Europe at least twice. he grew up flying all over, adn still does it. every chance he gets, he's on a plane traveling out of the states. He can't wait for the day he can bring his one true love with him across the sea to his home land, and share his culture with her.
  
• history
  Gianni has alwasy been really drawn to history. he's alwasy loved learning about everything that has bulit up to create the way society and the world is today. He especailly loves European history, its alwasy had him the most hooked. There is just so much to read about, from all the tyrants, falls and rises of empires. To the myths that lie deep within the lines of history, the knights templar and the holy grail. All unsolved mysteries inwhich captivate his mind.
  
• art
  Gianni is really into the arts. From music, to paintings and sculptures. Which comes from his love of history. And another reason he loves taveling across the sea to Europe. The art and music are everywhere, the history seeps through the walls of the buildings. He loves the fine aspects of life. the music that started it all, the art that sits in the walls of beautiful musems on Euopean streets.
  

HATES:

• the outdoors
  Gianni is a city boy 100%. He can't stand being in the wilderness, it isn't who he is. He prefers to be in big cities with bright lights. Its where he was raised, adn its his enviroment. He drinks, he is addicted, adn is in a mob. None of those things say "country boy".
  
• fast food
  Gianni doesn't eat, nor has he ever eaten food from a fast food place. He finds them gross, even just looking at the places make him sick. he sees them as a waste of space and money, adn a one way ticket to a heart attack and obesity. If he ahd it his way, he'd burn them all down. Save the engery for more important things in the world.
  
• chinese food
  Gianni has eaten Chinese once, adn got sick from it. So he's never touched it again. he also isn't too big of a fan of sugary foods, and chinese food is high in sugar. he's also Itailian, and grew up on Italian food. So anything else isn't really even worth eating to him. he also isn't fond of the people, he finds them rude, and that they don't treat people the way that they should be treated.
  
• fishing
  He doesn't like the outdoors, and he really doesn't like fishing. He went one time with a friend from school when he was eight, and complained most of the time. he didn't trsust the rickety boat that they fished out of, nor did he like the hooks. He didn't trust them flying through the air. Nor did he like the smell of the bait, articial or real. He was a high time city boy his whole life, and sitting in a boat in the middle of a lake just wasn't his idea as fun.
  
• snow
  Gianni is more of a summer guys, he loves the warmer weather. The sun tickiling his skin, which is why he doesn't like winter, and especially the snow. Most kids love getting into snow ball fights, he hated them. he was the smallest boy, so he got wailed on pretty bad. He didn't like the feeling of the cold snow on his body, or the harsh cold air in his lungs.
  

FEARS:

• losing his famiyl:
  Coming from an Itailian family, family means everything. Gatherings are large and loud. And these people mean everything. They'd do anything for you, and you'd do anything for them in return. Everyone is really close, even third or fourth cousins are tight. You got the family blood then you are loved and welcomed warmly. Wich is why losing his family is Gianni's biggest fear.
  
• Disappointing his father and grandfather
  Giovanni is a family name, and has big shoes to fill. Gianni's, father, grandfather, great grandfather, great greta grandfather, and great great grandfather have all been outstanding lawyers. And now Gianni has some big shoes to fill. Following in these men's footsteps was expected of Gianni as a boy, and now that he is a man he couldn't think of anything lse in life he'd rather do then to continue the legacy.
  

HABITS:

• talking to himself
  no he isn't crazy, gianni just ahs the tendancy to sometimes mummble a few things from his thoughts. this only happens usually when in deep thought though, and over things that need serious thought. so it doesn't happen all the time, but it does quite often still.
  
• his accent
  gianni has a major itailian accent, and e's learned to hide it rather well. but sometimes its just too much work to hide it, and it slips out. and he gets to be hard to understand.
  
• talking fast
  you can tell when gianni is trying really hard to fight his accent when he speech begins to speed up. so either way you're going to have a hard time understanding him. though his accent is eaier to understand then that of when he speech speeds up.
  
• mood swings
  gianni tends to have mood swings.he's itailian and has a short temper, and something from weks present could set him off at anytime. he doesn't really noctice when he does this, and has to be reminded quite often.
  
• mocking people
  gianni tends to mock people when they turn their backs. only to those who annoy him though. he is big on repsetc, but some people aer just so damn annoying he can't control himself.
  
• adding his two cents
  ya, its not his conversation, but he doesn't really care. if he over hears a conversation, and finds someone wrong with wtha they are saying he is most likely going to butt in and correct the, he does this a lot, and it has gotten him into trouble before. but no one that starts anything with him lasts much longer.
  

FLAW:

• Drinking
  Just like every Itailian, Gianni is a big drinker. Though, not exactly every Itailian, but every Itailian in his family. He started drinking at age fifteen, and it was casually. Only at weddings really back then. But as the years flooded by he became more and more caught up in it. But so was every other male in his family, so it didn't really make a difference. As long as he didn't act like a pig, and disrepsect any women while he drank. His father let him drink prior to being legall.
  
• Drugs
  Gianni didn't get caught up with the sex and the women like his couins did. He fund himself danicing with an addiction to drugs instead of lust. he's tried numerous times to break himself of his habits, but every attempt has failed. he's tried rehab many times, out of his own will. But he can never stay clean for too long. Though he's promised himself, when he inds the girl of his dreams he'll sober up and be straight. And never hit anything up again.
  
• keeps to himself
  Gianni is quiet and reserved, and likes to keepto himself. With being in a mob though you can't be all that out there like most young adults. he has to be careful about the things he says and does, and more so then the avarage young man does.this also makes it difficult for him to find love, a lot of girls see him as pushing them away. when all he really is doing is trying to protect them fro the harsh reality of his life.
  
• his family
  what's wrong with being a family person? nothing, its his actual family that is a flaw. he is caught up somehwhat in the mob, which is what feeds his drug addiction. Though no one knows he is caught up in the mob. Only those in his family know he is. No outside parties do, and could bever guess either. And he doesn't tell or hint to anyone that he is. He knows what the consequences could be with sharing that information. He is sworn to secrecy until he ahs a fiance, inwhich then he can share the information.
  
• holds grudges
  someone may forgive, but never forgets. well,.. gianni doesn't forgive nor does he forget. if you do something to him, you for surely will be getting what s=you so deserve. and it won't be when you expect it either. you may have done something to him freshmen year in high school, and twenty yeasr later you could find yourself being hit with a shovel and being thrown into the river. he isn't really one to make mad, he has friends in high palces, and isn't afraid to get you back.

FAMILY:
Giovanni Martenetti V, Father
Allessia Martenetti, Mother
Annalisa Martenetti, Younger Sister

Annalisa is nineteen, and a very shy young woman unlike the youngest daughter. She is like Gianni in the sense that she loves history and art. She ahs been a ballet dancer all her life.

Celeste Martenetti, Younger Sister

Celeste is the outgoing high strong Martenetti child. She has done gymnastics and cheerleading all her life. She is sixteen, and isn't really like Gianni much. She has high intelligence, but that just runs in the family really.

HOMETOWN: toronto
HISTORY:
Being the oldest in an Itailian family puts a lot of weight on your shoulders, but throw in being the only boy and a family name and you just added extra weight, but also a whole lot of respect. The Martenettie family is a very large Itailian family. With roots spreading all over the country, and deeply into Italy.

Giovanni was born to two full blooded Itailian paretns, which gave him even more repsect in the family. Gianni's immediate family is the core of the bloodline, so he was already entitled to a lot of respect through that. At family events he was like the ring leader of all the boys, including a lot of the older ones too. Though he was always the silent leader. He wasn't one of the rough boys that swarmed his family. he was different then his cousins, a lot different.

A lot of his uncles were in with the mob and what not. So their boys were naturally tougher through growing up around that life style. Though the entire Martenettie family name is nothing but a bunch of overly rich Italian men. No woman in the line has ever had to work, though many choose to. But they don't have to. The family is very old fashioned with the woman staying home, and rasing the family. Though the woman are never short themselevs on respect.

So, unlike Gianni's cousins he was small. Most of the other boys his age were more filled out, and most of them were pretty fat. So you could say that he got picked on for being smaller. Though the teasing didn't last long. Soon Gianni gained his cousins repsect, he already had the rest of the family's, but his male cousins, he had to earn theirs. He was clever, and very intelligent. What most people would probably call a book worm in high school. But he had to be smart, with some twenty male cousins his own age and twice his size, and twice his strength you needed to have something to use against them. And his smarts are what got him his repsect with them.

Through grade school and middle school, Gianni stayed back and just watched everyone else. He was silent, adn kept to himself a lot. People gave him shit for it all the time. But when high school rolled a long it was a whole different story. He hadn't attended middle school and grammar school with his cousins, but high school brought a lot of them together. And thats when he gained the respect of his peers.

The Martenetti's soon gained a reputation, and one that kept them in high socail rankings above a lot of people. No one tried to step in line with them. No one tried to single one of the out. You mess with one Martenetti you got them all. Gianni was the leader of their little mob, hey they were an Italian family what do you expect them to be considered by the other students? He was the smart one, and the one who held the most repsect. So naturally, he was just pretty much set as their leader.

Gianni did his best to stay away from dating in high school, it wasn't really what he wanted then. He knew how relationships were looked upon in his family. And he didn't want to put some stupid high school relationship through that. Now that didn't mean he didn't mingle with girls through those four years He had his fun, and was considered a player. But he told every girl who ever wanted to get caught up with that relationships weren't what he wanted to do with his high school career. He knew that sex was everywhere in high school, and that religion was important in his family and he wanted to save himself for his future wife.

YOUR NAME; brayden
YEARS RPING; three or so
PHRASE: across the universe
ROLE-PLAY SAMPLE:

An Itailian wedding, now that my friend is a party. The wedding's are large, expensive, and alcohol is everywhere. Mothers, fathers, cousins, and grandparents flooding every table. The love is passed around every second. And the bride, oh those brides are spoiled. Hector Martenetti, the bets friend of Gianni since they were four. The two were attached at the hip, and caused trouble together. Though Hector was the one causing the trouble, and Gianni was the mastermind behind it all. Never a dull moment between the cousins. Hecotor was Gianni's father's brother's son, so the pair was set to be close.

And what makes a wedding any different then childhood days at reuins and someone elses wedding? After the reception the two were of course up to no good. Both with drinks in hand, and parading around the family members. The bride couldn't keep track of her new husband for more then two minutes. No matter what, when Hecotor and Gianni were together they acted like they were six and eight again. But what man ever really stopped acting like a boy?

Hector pestered Gianni about not having a girlfriend, just like he alwasy had. Hector was always the ladies man, and Gianni never really was into dating. the heckling was always harmless though. And now that it was Hecotr's wedding, he was sure to give Gianni more hell then ever. The groom pulled his best man to a group of his new brides friends, trying to get Gianni to hook up with one of them. All of them very lovely Itailian women, but that wasn't the lifestyle he wanted. he smiled and greeted the women like a gentlemen, but then would apologize for his friends stupidty and tel them that unlike his friend, he didn't want to live the sinlg live as a pimp. This caused laughter, non one ever really took things like this as insults around here. Insuslts were insults, and one knew when one of those were being made.
