Unfortunately, our boy Delly was fated to stand at the height of 5'4 - shorter than most women - and to be simply covered in freckles. Easy to tell he's not a 'Finger' (Fake ginger). His hair is a dark, rich red if you haven't figured already, everyone seems to think he dyes it. His body is overall geometric, boxy facial features, along with broad shoulders and smaller hips. His stance is an athletic one, going to the gym almost everyday can do that to a person. Delly's eyes are often mistaken to be a light brown color, but they are indeed a dark hazel, if you can believe that. His neutral expression is often described to be similar to a fox's, sly and content. As if he knows something you don't. Overall Delly holds himself very confidently, he sure can make himself known.
Abnormalities
┄ Pierced left nipple
┄ Symbolic sun tat on his left wrist
┄ A fist sized burn mark on upper bicep (Horribly cauterized gunshot wound)
━━━━━━━━━━━ ☁ ━━━━━━━━━━━Thanks to his father he's got an ever so slight Brooklyn accent, along with a mixture of a few others. Product of being raised up in a place as diverse as a popular, downtown bar. Either way, the twang in his speech is barely noticeable at first, getting heavier with strong emotion. Likewise, his mother managed to rub off her smile onto him. A big monkey-like grin that takes up most of his face, crinkling his features. Often that red mop of his appears to be greasy - wet even. He can't fix it, no amount of washing or dry-shampooing will normalize his scalp. He blames it on the Italian side of the family, as illogical as that may seem.

Style wise, Delly can't seem to go wrong with the retro aesthetic. Rolled up/short sleeves, sleeveless tanks, acid-wash jeans, not to mention graphic button ups or the occasional jacket. Hell yeah. He even has his fair share of exciting sunglasses and old vintage vinyls! To top it off he's 'inherited' his parent's old rusted up, blue Buggy. He's very hard to miss.

When both parental figures are out of the picture, you've inherited the family business, you're still going to school and you've got a lil' sis to take care of, one learns to become rather responsible. He's extremely reliable and can conveniently fight off urges of procrastination, Delly can get shit done, man. Neatness seemed to sprout from this trait as well, everything has to be clean and in order with him. He was raised a gentleman, and he still practices good manners, which is good considering he interacts with a wide variety of drunks. They don't seem to get as angry with him if he's polite. Due to a odd upbringing, Delly never had any rules or restrictions of any sort, so now that he's on his own he's pretty destructive. Unrestrained and undisciplined, he thinks he can get away with anything. Usually he can. Rules were meant for breaking eh? At the base of his being there is a allocentric way to him, but he can still turn thoughtless in odd situations. Especially if it involves money. Being the owner of the bar really turned him into a money-minded, possessive and dominant/protective dick. Don't get in the way of Delly and his money, guys. Fortunately there are some good things that come from the manning the family business, he's quite the little charmer. Charismatic, sweet and friendly, very very social. There never seems to be any awkward conversations with this guy. Overall he's got a very loud, extraversion personality.

Strengths
▫ Socially dominant, a 'popular kid' if you will.
▫ He's a very loud person and can demand attention easily.
▫ Very little unnerves him, which could also be a weakness considering he doesn't quite get scared - even rather horrific or death defying situations one would rather not be in. Fear is usually a necessity, but not for Delly.
▫ Ironically sober, innocent to the affects of alcohol. This was of course thanks to his father, his actions and constant ranting caused Delly to become rather uninterested.
▫ When he's got free time he boxes. With like gloves and shit, ya dig? He's pretty fucking strong, and punches like a mother fucker. You even lift bro?
▫ As stated above, Delly is probably one of the most motivated, reliable, organized/neat kid you'll ever meet. So, that's a plus.
▫ Very charismatic, very social, easily makes friends, you get the gist.
Neutral
▫ He can stay up unbelievably late and fail to have any tired-ness or fatigue. It's fucking weird. And he still gets up like 5:00 every goddamn morning. It's magic I swear he runs on like 3 hours of sleep
▫ Delly's never one to turn down a good party. Hell, he's even hosted a few at the bar. Pretty ideal place, actually. Alas he still stays sober, being the 'mom' friend isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be
▫ He stands as the parental figure for his lil' sis (she's 13 - 11 yrs younger) so that means he's gotta be good and not smoke in front of her, watch over her and drive her places n' shit. The usual. It's good for him, makes him a better person. Although, it is a crap ton of pressure. So, good and bad.
▫ What kind of bartender doesn't flirt every once in awhile? Delly obviously doesn't do it often, but when someone in a particularly good mood (or vice versa) comes in he can't help it. It's pretty subtle, so don't worry.
▫ For some reason he knows a lot of weird shit? Like he's got a whole like bible of facts in his brain and he can just whip em' out whenever. If you wanna learn something new, hit him up.
▫ Due to the lack of fear he has, he's quite talented in escaping things. Buildings mostly. He's broken his wrist and cracked his patella due to falls from windows. Fun times. He's gotten better though.
Weakness
▫ He smokes, juuls, vapes, whatever it is these days. Bad for his health
▫ Very destructive, he doesn't think anything he does is bad or wrong. Undisciplined/unrestrictive childhood is understandably the cause of this, sometimes it's hard for him to respond to people of higher authority. No regrets I guess.
▫ Autotelic. Anything outside of the clear path his life is on doesn't matter. Aka anything or anyone not involving him, his family, or the bar then he doesn't fucking care. That involves romantic relationships usually, he could probably be suffering from a commitment problem at this point. He's got a purpose in life, he's not gonna let anything get in his way.
▫ VERY obsessive/possessive over his things. Don't take them, don't touch them, don't look at them, don't even think about them. Delly can very easily go into toddler-tantrum mode if someone messes with his shit. This can also apply to his sister, as any good brother would do, he's very worried and protective of her.
▫ What's personal space? Delly sure doesn't fucking know. There's no such things as personal bubbles in his mind, so get ready for him to like awkwardly get up in your face.
▫ With anything regarding fighting, he can only do fist to fist (*cough* boxing *cough*) so if there is a knife or weapon involved, he's toast.
▫ Opposite of friend-making, Delly can also be very hate-able. He's got his fair share of enemies

Hobbies, Habits, and weird ~ quirky mannerisms? Who don't have em', huh? Well, lets get into it shall we? Hobby wise - obviously he's one active boi. Attending the gym on an almost day-to-day basis with his boxing gear, he only occasionally comes home with a black eye. He's gotten pretty practiced in the art of punching stuff, so stop joshin' him or you'll get your lights punched out. Another Hobby is conveniently ~ Bartending. It's more than a job, he's been intrigued by it since the very beginning. lastly, we've got welding...hell yeah. Who doesn't like the thrill of melting metal together with that sleek ass mask thing and apron on? Naturally, he doesn't get too many chances to indulge considering he doesn't actually have anything he can weld let alone the welding machine itself. Habit wise - He likes to do his homework in the bar when it's closed, let vinyls just keep playing all day and all night for weeks (His sister hates it), getting up at absurdly early times, arriving late to class, scaring people away with his weird ass facts, smoking on the roof - overlooking the city in a super intense and melancholic manner, walking around shirtless, etc. QUiRK wise - that dumb fact thing, sometimes when he's working the bar he introduces himself with an accent - he usually talks with an Australian one to see if they pick up the faux twang -, he's got a sunglass/vinyl collection going on, jams out to songs in his head when bored - it often looks like he's having a seizure cause he's like dancing along and head-banging...Makes a point to only tell dad jokes around his sister, and he can't cook very well. I think that about sums it up
