SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

• ESFP
• When he meets any new person, these are the first things he usually says: "Hello my name is Lorenzo" and "Tell me your story." Lorenzo is a very outgoing and charismatic individual, and extremely curious about EVERYONE'S LIVES-- past, present, and future. To most, it would seem as if he were drunk on living and energy of all sorts. He's generally a very engaging person, and possesses a near uncontrollable and contagious sort of vivaciousness.
• He really, really loves people... but only for their life stories. In general, he takes everyone for granted so he knows many people but never forms any REAL friendships. Once he is done listening to you, he will leave you and come back only in a week's time for "updates."
• FOR YOU SEE... Lorenzo spends most of his days talking and wandering around the city in order to listen to people's stories and use this as material for his "future novels." He likens life to that of an epic love/adventure novel and thus idealizes it (to a rather RIDICULOUS degree). In his free time, he enjoys coming up with metaphors/poetry about PAIN and LOSS and LOVE and SUFFERING even though he is ridiculously rich, leads a happy, lackadaisical lifestyle, and has never truly experienced any of that.
• His lack of experience actually makes him a terrible writer...
• If you bother him after he is done talking to you, he becomes markedly annoyed, and will huff and try to shake you off-- for he has important writing to tend to and you are bothering him! Lorenzo's rather snobbish, and has a very clearly affected facade of intelligence and professionalism. In addition, you'll realize he's rather emotionally immature once you've really, really gotten to know him.
• SO YEAH. IGNORANT AND NAIVE. HE GETS BETTER!

ABILITIES.

• ASIDE FROM TERRIBLE WRITING? NOT REALLY.

LORENZO'S PAST

• Lorenzo hailed from a very, very rich and influential family in the Capital. His mother was a politician, while his father was an accomplished actor, artist, musician, and all-around Renaissance man! From a very early age, Lorenzo has been fascinated by the concept of stories, and destiny. So, he decided he wanted to be a writer! Also, he decided that the beauty mark on his forehead (the one that is NOT a Di Landi trait) was PROOF that he would become SUCCESSFUL.
• For the most part, Lorenzo grew into a rather IRRESPONSIBLE and CAREFREE young man. Having no need to hold a real job (due to his parents), he mostly spends his days wandering about the country with his Saint Bernard Mr. Whimpersnaper seeking the most exquisite of inspirations (via having people tell them their stories) .
• He usually visits home when he's run out of monies, or food, or both
• At around the age of 18, he meets Lucian (who is a high-ranking military woman) at a cafe. 
• AND HIS MIND PROCESS WENT SOMETHING LIKE "A WOMAN IN THE MILITARY? WAO!"
• So, he tries to get a story out of her!! Except Lucian continually avoids the question for kicks!!! And distracts him!!!
• And then, over the year they keep bumping into each other!! Until, finally, she concedes to tell him the next day (after she's through with a v. important meeting at headquarters.)
• And he is like yessss.
• But she never... Shows up...
• So he decides to draft a story about a DEVILISH WOMAN who DITCHES her lover....
• Except it's trite. And unoriginal. and a horrible story. And every publisher tells him this.
• SUDDENLY SHAKEN BY THE REVELATION THAT HE NEEDS BETTER INSPIRATION, LORENZO PACKS HIS BAGS TO GO OUT SEARCHING FOR IT.
• And, instead, comes upon a little girl.... who is covered in nothing but a blanket...And has no name... And can't pronounce his name right, as much as he tries to correct her.... And then touches him and gives him EXCRUCIATING pain in his left eye that causes him to pass out for three days... (STAR PACT) 
• She takes to following him after he recovers, until at last, he decides to take her up as his sidekick on his epic journey and name her Rosanne Elizabeth Loraine Fiorella de Bambalina. (COOL NAME LORENZO).
• OH YEAH AND THEN ADVENTURE!!

LORENZO'S RELATIONSHIPS

• Bambi: HE SEES AS HIS SILLY ASSISTANT FOR HIS JOURNEY TO INSPIRATION. sometimes he forms bad odes to her and sometimes he adds titles like "THE FAIR" or "THE OBSTINATE" depending on his mood. he's also v. sad that she and his dog have formed an alliance against him.....
• MR. WHIMPERSNAPER IS HIS DOG COMPANION. and is ttly tsundere towards his master.
  
• HE IS CLOSEST TO HIS FATHER. HIS MOTHER WAS OUT A LOT AND IS V. STRICT/TRADITIONAL.
  

OTHER SHIT

• HAS A MASSIVE SAINT-BERNARD NAMED MR. WHIMPERSNAPER W/ ROSE-WINE IT A BARREL AROUND ITS NECK
  
• WHEN THE STAR PACT WAS FORMED, A BROKEN GOLDEN COMPASS ROSE SEARED ITSELF INTO HIS LEFT EYE. THE MUTATION GLOWS SO BRIGHT IT MAKES HIS EYE SEEM GREEN. SOMETIMES LIKES LOOKING AT HIS WEIRDASS EYE AND ADMIRING IT...
• VAGUE ITALIAN ACCENT.

Creator Insight:

• HMM. For the most part, I like Lorenzo's colours, though his design feels off to me. I think I'll go and redo it one day. 
• Starcatchers is very close to my heart universe-wise! I really enjoy the setting and how all the characters interact with one another and how everyone develops and how it has angst and adventure and comedy and romance and kawaii all in one place. HURR...
