Antonio Fernandez Carriedo // Spain [accepted]

Full Name:
Antonio Fernandez Carriedo
Age:
25
Hometown:
Tarragona, Spain
Position:
Head Photographer

Appearance:
Antonio has bright, emerald green eyes, which match perfectly with his tanned complexion. He also has wavy, brown hair that is usually messy. His love of photography causes him to spend a lot of his time outside, which darkens his naturally tan skin. His overall body shape is toned and athletic and he is confused as to why there is such obsession over his rear end. He wears whatever he feels like, usually something fun or practical, but wears a golden cross around his neck at all times. A high tech camera also adorns his neck, an object that is necessary for his job, but he also thinks of as extremely precious.

Personality:
Antonio is an extremely cheerful man who always views things optimistically, a fact that can easily be seen upon first meeting him. His bright personality is almost as well known as the fact that he can be extremely dense. Due to his thick-headedness, he can be seen as insensitive or unintelligent. He has a green thumb and likes to spend his time growing plants almost as much as he enjoys taking pictures. He may be a photographer, but his knowledge of technology beyond his lens is slim to none. Whenever he needs to upload photos, he sits in front of the computer for a long time, sometimes unsure as to how he was supposed to turn it on again.

When he finds something he loves, he goes after it passionately, a fact that sometimes can rub people the wrong way. The intensity of his emotions makes him easy to read and you can always tell what he is thinking by a single glance. He doesn't try to hide his emotions a lot, feeling that it is important for people to show how they really feel, otherwise everybody will all be unhappy inside. Antonio is extremely easy to get excited, but hard to anger or upset.

He doesn't have very many enemies, or that is what he believes at least. He gets a long with most everyone and tries to be nice to the people he doesn't like as well. Sometimes he doesn't even realize that he doesn't like someone and will talk to them like they're old pals. He doesn't like lying and feels guilty for a long time even after telling just a white lie. When someone lies to him, even if it is just about a tiny thing, he will get upset. No one can be cheerful all the time, and Antonio is no exception. People who have seen him truly angry say he is a completely different person. His normal frustration, however, just cause him to act childish and .

History:
Antonio spent most of his childhood in Spain. He loved to be outdoors, whether it be gardening or just running around. The sunlight was his first love and he would find any excuse to be out in it. He was perpetually happy as a child, something the other children would tease him about. He never understood that they were teasing him though, which made them label him as a cheerful idiot.

When he was in his teens, he turned into a big prankster. He was still just as passionate as he is now, but back then it was targeted around mischief and sometimes even violence. He fought a lot in his youth, until moving to America in his late teens for college. Life in America changed his perspective. It was at college that he found his second love, the camera. After taking a photography course for an elective, he ended up switching his major instantly. When he first graduated, he was hired by a local magazine to take pictures of wildlife and landscapes, but he didn't find any joy in doing that. He realized that he preferred to take pictures of people, it didn't matter what they were doing.

A year later found him in the Axis Modeling Agency, but not as a photographer. He had been scouted as a model one day in the park, but instead of posing like he should have, he ran around and bugged the photographers until they let him use the cameras instead.

Other Important Info:
★ He thinks that the models are far too malnourished looking.
★ Fond of children
★ Plays the guitar
★ Good at soccer futbol
★ Doesn't like pirates
★ Likes being called "Boss"

RP Sample:
Being behind the camera lens was always a thrill. There was something about the way people looked on film that attracted him to it. He could create whatever scenes and moods he wanted others to feel with a simple change in lighting or the angle of a hip. Should they be sensual? fighting? It was all up to him. No matter what, he always tried to make sure his pictures stirred some sort of emotion in people, otherwise what would be the point?

Antonio set up another shot, but when he went to snap the photo, it just didn't seem right. Giving the models an apologetic smile, he lowered his camera again and fiddled with the lights. A step back and... perfect. A series of poses later, he decided that he was satisfied and let his subjects leave. Now he just needed to upload these to the computer and he could finish for the day. He was excited, it was really nice outside and the park wasn't usually busy at this time of day.

He walked over to the computers and stared. 'How do I do this again?' he thought, looking from his camera to the moniter. After a minute, all he had managed to do was make it angry. The screen was a really ugly blue colour and it was making this strange noise whenever he touched something. He looked around frantically before spotting someone who looked like they could help him. "Ah, excuse me? I think this computer hates me. Can you ask it to ...um, take the pictures from my camera?"
