Name: Antonio Fernandez Carriedo
Age: 30
Nationality: Spanish

Attitude Towards Bots?:Indifferent. There aren't many around him and they don't really look all that different from anyone else you'd see on the street.
Appearance:
Antonio is a man of fairly athletic build standing at five feet ten inches. Tan skin is accompanied by grass green eyes. His curly, dark brown hair is generally cut short and left to its own devices. More often than not there is a smile on his face and one will hardly ever catch him frowning. He's rather lazy when it comes to dressing and will pick old, comfortable clothing over newer more fashionable styles.

Personality:
Sunny is a word that would accurately describe Antonio’s disposition. Good humored and friendly, he can occasionally be a bit over enthusiastic and come off as clingy and a bit creepy. He isn't the most work motivated person and likes to take most things in life at an unhurried pace. Though he's an optimistic person for the most part, he does have the occasional day or two where things don't go his way and he does a bit of moping.
Antonio isn’t the most observant person that you’ll meet. Most of the time he’s too lazy to even try to keep up with everything that’s going on around him making him seem clueless or oblivious at times. He can be blunt and somewhat insensitive as well, though this is usually unintentional. While he is normally good natured and it takes a while for him to become angry he can become rather mean once he has. In his rare instances of ill-temper he has a tendency to say and do malicious things and will form grudges that will be held for ridiculous amounts of time.
History:
Antonio was born in Madrid, Spain as the second son of a middle class mother. Throughout his childhood he, his older brother and their mother lived in various places on the peninsula, moving frequently. After his brother moved out on his own the rest of the family finally settled in one place. This unfamiliar life style didn't particularly agree with the young Spaniard and he left as soon as he was old enough. Despite the fact that they didn't always have the best relationship, he eventually decided to follow his sibling out to the Antarctic city he'd moved to.
When the brother got sick of the younger man’s constant presence on his couch he called in a favor from a friend. This was how Antonio found himself working on one of the many ships in the harbor. Surprisingly (or not so) he took to it like a fish to water. This went well for the better part of a decade before ending badly. One evening on one of the ships return trips to Eishoff a quirk of fate found his toppling into the ocean-the victim of a faulty railing. Though he was a good swimmer, the water managed to get the better of him fairly quickly. When the rest of the crew finally managed to fish him out he was alive but unresponsive.
It was several weeks later that he woke up to find himself in the hospital. When they finally let him out he couldn't bring himself to in back to working at the harbor. A year or twos worth of career switching eventually found him working in one of the cities day cares.
RP Sample:
There was a cat outside. It was on the playground to be exact. The children had noticed it long before Antonio did and big furry brown-and-white creature didn't seem to find anything odd about the fact that it was somewhere it wasn't supposed to be and being cuddled by children it didn't know. That wouldn't do at all.
Retrieving the animal from the group of little girls who's attention it was currently enjoying he set it on the ground. He gave the cat a stern look as he debated the best way to shoo it away. Apparently he wasn't intimidating at all, as its'...his...hers...the cat's next choice of action was to wind itself around his legs and purr loudly. He blinked in confusion, bending down to pick the critter up before he realized what he was doing. "You're not supposed to be here Mr. Kitty"
The scolding hardly had any backing since he was scratching behind the cat's ears and his companion saw it as a reason to increase its purring by ten and butt its head against his hand. "Well okay, you can stay-only for a little while”. He told him (her?) sternly, setting the feline back down onto the ground. “And stay away from the children" Of course it choose to ignore that order, but he chose to ignore that since it didn't seem to be doing any harm to the kids.
The little boys and girls the and cat all seemed equally forlorn when it was time to go inside. He had the sinking feeling that he was going to spend the rest of the afternoon explaining why they couldn't bring the kitty-cat inside with them and avoiding making the promise that it would visit again tomorrow.
