Name: Mario Rosenbaum
Age [appearance]: 22
Age [actual]: 22
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Hair: Black, cut to a semi-fashionable middling short. He combs it forward with a little fiber paste when he\'s dressing up, or into a rough, tousled faux hawk for everyday wear.
Eyes: Brown
Frame: 5\' 10", 175 lbs. Mario is athletic from going to the gym regularly and eating healthy; he likes looking good, and staying in good health is a requirement for his position.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: A purple scar from a car crash above his right hip. He\'s self-conscious about it, and will often cover it with his hand. It\'s painfully obvious when he does this, even though he doesn\'t usually notice he\'s doing it.
Personality: Mario\'s far from warm, but he\'s outgoing and friendly. It would be more accurate to say that he\'s accepting and efficient, and he likes being around people. Mario likes to understand things, and he likes to be involved in things. He\'s energetic and efficient, but can be hypersensitive at unpredictable times because he puts so much of himself into his projects and friendships. He often puts too much of himself into friendships too quickly.
History: Mario is a native to the city, one of the few who remembers the Apocalypse clearly and didn\'t believe the propaganda that it was a chemical leak. Even then, his older brother is a werewolf, and he\'s grown up knowing about the supernatural. As a result, he\'s always been slightly distant from his peers in elementary school, all the way through high school. His focus shifted to learning and handling information during his formative years, not so much to gather it as to manage it. Watching the formation of the Oligarchy and the neat shuffling of information from the outside was fascinating to him, and he wanted to learn to do that.
When he began college at Watson University in Information Technology, he moved into the dorms for several years. He began going to Risk, but stopped short of getting a tattoo. He experimented with soft drugs, but stopped that as well in favor of "bite buddies". In his third year of college, his application to be a live-in donor at the Chambers was accepted, and he moved there.
Awareness of Supernaturals: Mario is aware of virtually all types of supernaturals. Unlike most humans, he\'s not intimidated by them.
Occupation/Job: Blood donor
Interesting Facts / Quirks: When bitten by a vampire, Mario feels raw euphoria, rather than entering a daze or sexual pleasure. He tends to giggle and squirm as though being tickled when he\'s fed from, and gets hyperactive afterward unless he loses a lot of blood.
Hobby/Hobbies: Reading, surfing the internet, playing with his cellphone, customizing computers.
Likes: New things, interesting projects, lasting friendships, fresh ideas, well-prepared food.
Dislikes: Outdated equipment, boredom (or anything less than constant activity), flighty personalities or untrustworthy people, closedmindedness, cigarette smoke, and addictions.
Strength: Cleverness, an intuitive feel of how to make things work, an almost reckless bravery in the face of beings more powerful than him, enthusiasm, and a strong heart.
Weakness/Flaw: Mario considers himself a "younger brother" almost by default. He\'s sort of used to everyone looking out for him. Because of this, he\'ll sometimes be more confident than is wise in situations out of his control. It\'s sometimes hard to tell what he\'s feeling because he\'s used to hiding a part of himself from those around him, which makes him seem aloof, despite his outgoing nature. Overall, Mario is easy to misunderstand and has a strong tendency to get himself into situations out of his control.
