Read On, Che!
Name: Ignazio Chano Rivas Tovar (Goes by Chano)
Age: 35 (Date of Birth October 25, 1981)
Home Town: Tucumán, Argentina
Species: Canine/Domestic Dog
Breed: Dogo Argentino
Gender: Male
Mate: Ansen Scott
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Physical Build:
At the height of 6'5, Chano is 260 pounds of almost pure muscle. By no means someone to mess around with, he is in excellent physical shape that has made many women (and a few men!) swoon. He has black eyes, very dark brown hair that could be easily mistaken for black and mostly white fur with the occasional black splotch. Finally, he wears a size 12 shoe.
Basic Medical Information:
Built like a tank, Chano is surprisingly healthy despite a lifestyle that makes doctors faint. While eventually his smoking habit does catch up with him, for the time being the worst of his ailments are mostly scars and bruises from fighting.
Unique Physical Traits: Chano is almost all white with the exception of a couple of black splotches on his nose, eye, roof of his mouth, rear end and "Little Chano." He also has a variety of piercings in his cheeks, both ears, nipple (only in sometimes) and his left eyebrow. Last but not least, he has razored ears from his fighting days. Formerly floppy and smooth they are now rugged and very rough, quite torn up.
Sexual Information:
Chano is in possession of a 9 1/2 inch (canine styled) beef hammer. Attracted to pretty much everything gender wise, but finds much more pleasure in "receiving" than "giving."
Personality Analysis:
Although he passes for friendly enough with relative ease, Ignazio has a violent and even borderline-sociopathic streak to him. While for the most part he seems fun if not a bit rough around the edges, he lives a wild and free but in some ways self-destructive lifestyle which includes being a frequent womanizer. Despite his flaws though he is also a somewhat vigilant and upbeat individual with a very independent mindset and some nomadic tendencies. He can also be incredibly compassionate and caring when he chooses to be, sometimes even looking out for people who might otherwise be a bit intimidated by him.
Hobbies:
First and foremost, Chano is a biker very seriously dedicated to the lifestyle and often a shameless man of the road. Spending entire days on the road and wrapping up with a friendly stranger and a few drinks is not an unfamiliar scenario to him. Almost humorous though, he also takes great pride and joy in landscaping. "Why do drugs when you can mow a lawn?" (Even though he occasionally does both.)
Likes:
Motorcycles, drinking, casual hook-ups, being on the open road, the weather right before a storm, leather, humor, and junk food.
Dislikes:
Assholes, rats (Not the animals), cooked vegetables, being cold, spiders, paper-cuts, hunger and anger (hanger), rabies, burnt popcorn and being shot at.
Strengths:
Excellent shot, very loyal, not shy or squeamish at all, skilled in interrogation and a very dedicated enforcer for his alignments.
Weaknesses:
Overly confident in his abilities as a mechanic, easy drunk, occasionally trigger happy, short tempered and can only achieve orgasm through prostate stimulation.
Life Accomplishments and Highlights:
First and foremost, Chano's greatest life accomplishment is becoming sergeant-at-arms of the Sabueso de los Muertos motorcycle gang after dedicating his life to the rugged and often brutal lifestyle. He also takes great pride in owning his Spanish-style home where he lives with three bat-shit insane roommates. Last but not least, he is quite proud of having made his best friend and roommate Maduro his "old lady" who lives in a guest house in the back yard, keeping him from being targeted by the others.
Vocational History:
Does this guy really sound like he's got a legitimate job? Professional criminal, but he passes as the world's okay-est mechanic if anybody asks.
Summary of Early Life:
Chano was born in Argentina, where he lived until the age of eight years old before fleeing to California with his mother in an escape from his crazed father, involved in a life of serious crime that was starting to have dangerous consequences for his family. Settling into a rough neighborhood, he spent much of his youth fighting and never completed school. He did not get along at all in his new environment, and would often pick fights himself on the rare occasion someone else wouldn't start one first. His mother remarried and they were able to stay in the United States. His mother would go on to have two more kids, Chano's half brother and sister Tonio and Pilar.
Education:
"It doesn't take rocket appliances to get your grade 10." Chano dropped out halfway through high school, generally uninterested in academics. Although dedicated to looking after his family, this was also right around the time he started to make some questionable life choices by the law's standards.
Basic Ancestry:
Chano's mother and father were Malena Muñoz Tovar and Thiago Rivas Jr. His mother is a good, morally upstanding and hard-working woman with a bad habit of falling for the wrong men under the impression that they'll change. Also on her side of the family are Chano's simple farmer grandparents, Antonella and Juan. His father Thiago however was a hell-raising drug lord with sadistic and sociopathic tendencies who frequently abused and mistreated his wife until she fled with her son when Chano was only eight. He didn't have any relationship with his grandparents on his father's side, Florencia and Thiago Sr. While Florencia was a quiet, obedient and reserved type who rarely strayed from doing what she had been told, Thiago Sr. had been even more brutal and sadistic as a drug lord than his son.
Ethnic/Cultural/Religious background:
Chano was born in Argentina where he spent the earlier years of his life until as a young child fleeing with his mother to the United States to escape his abusive, borderline-sociopathic criminal father. For the most part he grew up in a traditional Hispanic household with a touch of Italian in the mix from his father's side. He is by no means religious and even suffers from ecclesiophobia, finding himself terrified by religion and places of worship.
Home Town and Current Place of Residence:
Born in Tucumán, Argentina, Chano fled with his mother to the United States at the age of eight, landing in a rough part of Riverside, California. After growing tired of the area, he moved to Oakland with Maduro, who wanted a bit of "quiet." A decision similar to visiting the Amazon to go snowboarding.
Unique Personality Traits/Chanoisms:
Chano has always been very charismatic and a fan of dark humor, sometimes on a rather extreme level. He is not a very good worker and is vocationally rather unskilled outside of the criminal world, although his confidence in his abilities as a mechanic might initially fool you into thinking otherwise. On a more morbid note, he has a habit of killing boars and feeding them to his guests à la Hannibal. He also grows very angry in social situations in which he has failed to be charming, often running his mouth and being ultimately counter-productive. Last but not least, always wears a feather earring which he yanked out of a blue jay friend.
