♔︎ MONIKERS.
antonio bentley⠀٠⠀ant⠀٠⠀tony

antonio means, priceless, bentley being an old mighty name in italy. antonio is a classic italian name, and his father named him after his great-uncle who was very important to him. Antonio didn't hate his name, but when he was younger he'd sometimes go by anthony because it was just more america but he had nothing against his name. plus, his last name was like the car
which kids in middle school thought was cool.
⠀⠀

⠀⠀
♔︎ BIRTH.
august fourteenth⠀٠⠀leo sanremo, imperia, italy
⠀⠀
antonio was born and grow up in italy, he loved it there. the big house, seven bedrooms huge pool, and one of the nicest houses in one of the richest neighborhoods. school was fine in italy, he had a tutor who 'helped' him do his work, more so doing it for him so he was guaranteed to excel. he lived there with his mother, father, two older brothers, and his maid. It was such a beautiful place and until this day he hasn't found a place more beautiful than his childhood home. but once his mother left the family, they moved to america but he swore he'd move back one day.
⠀⠀

⠀⠀
♔︎ GENDER.
amab⠀٠⠀male⠀٠⠀he/him masc
⠀⠀
antonio has never questioned his gender, he was pretty confident he was a guy, even if he wasn't, his father would probably choke him out if he ever showed any sign of questioning his gender, and if he didn't then his brothers would. he's pretty masculine, a bit stereotypical, he plays sports and dresses pretty masculinely. he was also born male with no complications.

⠀⠀
♔︎ IDENTITY.
Italian⠀٠⠀human english
⠀⠀
antonio was born in italy and his family background is majority italian. he was proud of his heritage, sure italians were pretty aggressive with their italianess and had a bit of a superiority complex, but that was just how they were. being born in italy was special to him, the culture was rich and the food was better than anywhere else because it was authentic here. seeing as he had a private tutor, he learned english as well since it was the universal language. he is human and is completely fine with that although it would be nice to have some superpowers.

♔︎ GENERAL.
estp⠀٠⠀type 7⠀٠⠀choleric true neutral

ESTPs are energetic thrillseekers who are at their best when putting out fires, whether literal or metaphorical. they bring a sense of dynamic energy to their interactions with others and the world around them. they assess situations quickly and move adeptly to respond to immediate problems with practical solutions. active and playful, ESTPs are often the life of the party and have a good sense of humor. they use their keen powers of observation to assess their audience and adapt quickly to keep interactions exciting. although they typically appear very social, they are rarely sensitive; the ESTP prefers to keep things fast-paced and silly rather than emotional or serious.  
Sevens are defined by their desire to experience everything life has to offer while avoiding pain and boredom. they appear to others to be lively, fun-loving, and hedonistic. Sevens are often very busy people who bounce from one activity to another in their quest to squeeze every possible bit of enjoyment out of life. Sevens fear getting stuck in a rut and missing out on the good life. they cope with this fear by constantly seeking out exciting, novel, and fun experiences. more than anything, Sevens want to avoid feeling bored, sad, or uninspired.
Sanguine loves the life of luxury; they like to impress others by their expensive clothes, designer accessories, and flashy cars. if choleric people thrive on the money-making process itself, sanguine people know how to enjoy money, luxury, and comfort like nobody else. will indulge in their rich, comfortable, and sumptuous living effectively ignoring the world's problems and crises. buoyant, lively, and optimistic, they can absolutely charm the pants off anyone that seeks their attention.

⠀⠀
♔︎ TRAITS.
over-confident⠀٠⠀energetic    competitive⠀٠   flirty

antonio is extremely confident, some may say overconfident, he believes that whatever he does will turn out great, he has no doubt in his abilities believing he is the best of the best which can be a good attitude to have but he takes it way too far. he has a high energy level and is always up to do something that will keep that energy up, hence the sports. he is very competitive which stemmed from his childhood, and he strives to be the best causing him to be a sore loser and be a bit hard on himself at times. one thing everything know about ant is how much he likes to flirt as if it were a sport. he can be seen as an asshole at school, which was true, he had to keep up the hot popular jock stereotype. it wasn't like he was always pretending, it was how he acted. sure it was mean and being a bully wasn't the best to some but someone had to do it. he had a different side that very few got to see all of. sure some of his friends got to see how goofy he was when he'd do stupid stuff at home but maybe one or two people could say they saw the real him. the sweet antonio who was a bit sensitive, who could try to be open-minded and talk about sensitive issues.

♔︎ LIKES & HOBBIES.
parties⠀٠⠀video games⠀٠⠀football  basketball
⠀⠀
LIKES: antonio loved parties, he was usually the center of attention which was also another thing he loved. parties made him feel great and loved. the drinking, the dancing, the girls trying to get his attention, it was great. he especially loved dancing, getting some random girl to grind with or just one who could dance. he liked video games, what was he not to like? his father thought they were a waste of time but his father's opinion didn't matter when it came to tech. he loves strawberries, wine, and mozzarella, pasta as any true italian would. he loved music, in public, he listened to rap and hip hop but in private any good music was fine by him. he liked trying new things, which meant new places, new people, new foods, anything. he likes social media, people popular meant there was always some girl that wanted him to make a tiktok with her, and he just loved the social media attention. he even went viral once. social media was fun, and he loved when people took videos or pictures of him.
⠀⠀
HOBBIES: sports was antonio's hobby, he loved playing and watching. his father put him in as many sports as possible as a boy and he grew to love it. mostly because he was good. the attention he got was great so he continued with it, but wouldn't do it professionally. he likes traveling, he mostly did it during the summer but it was one of the best times ever. he got to see new things and experience different cultures. he also got to brag about when he got back.

⠀⠀
♔︎ DISLIKES & PET PEEVES.
his father⠀٠⠀being ignored⠀٠⠀being late  micro-managing
⠀⠀
DISLIKES: he didn't like his father, he was too mean and just an overall terrible guy. he was racist, homophobic, and downright offensive in any way possible. he also used to hit antonio as a kid to 'toughen' him up, which only made ant live in fear. he didn't plan on coming out because of the way his father was and honestly was afraid of him which was why he couldn't be his true self. he also hated being ignored, which also stemmed from childhood. his father would ignore him and focus on his older brothers because they were achieving so much which made him so upset, so he strived to achieve as much as possible to show he was worthy of attention. he hates being alone as well, it keeps him with his thoughts which weren't always positive. another thing he hated was strawberries, he once choked on one and was very weird about the fruit now. he also hated not knowing things, and when people kept secrets from him. sure he'd keep secrets from others but when it was done to him? evil.
⠀⠀
PEEVES: antonio hates when people are late, if there's a set time for things,
make an effort to be on time. sure if it's an
emergency sure, but he can't stand going out
with people who are always late. if a group is going somewhere together and someone's late, antonio's the first to propose leaving them. he's never late himself, he's usually exactly on time or a few minutes early. he also can't stand people that micro-manage, he likes to do things his way, directions were more so a guide, if he could do it easier his way then he would, so when someone comes over for every little thing he easily gets pissed off. just leave him to do his work because if he needed help or was confused, you'd know.

⠀⠀
♔︎ HABITS.
sticking tongue out⠀٠⠀sniffing bread⠀٠⠀shaking his leg chewing the edge of pens + pencils
⠀⠀
whenever he's focused on anything at all, he sticks the tip of his tongue out. he's been
doing that ever since he was a child, not sure why but he does like the feeling of his tongue when it's dry. he sniffs his bread before eating it because once as a kid his older brothers made him a sandwich with moldy bread. he was halfway through the sandwich before realizing that it tasted off. he couldn't see anything but when he smelled it, it smelled moldy. he ended up throwing up and ever since then he sniffs his bread. ant also shakes his legs, it was just to release some energy while he was doing nothing but he barely notices it. he has the habit of chewing on pencils as well as pens, he isn't sure where the habit came from, and even though he ended up with ink all over his face once he just couldn't stop. didn't want to either, no point. he also pulled on his ear whenever he was nervous or upset.
⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀
♔︎ HOPES, DREAMS & GOALS.
be successful & rich⠀٠⠀feel free
travel the world 
⠀⠀  
antonio wishes to stay rich, he's been rich all his life, what would life be like if he wasn't? if he didn't find a way to be successful like his brothers then he'd for sure be cut off. it didn't matter what he would succeed in, as long as it was respectable and he ends up high on the chain, though his father's reputation would ensure that. antonio hopes that one day he'll feel okay enough to come out, to share his real feelings, and although that day may never come, a boy can dream. he also wishes to travel the world, as mentioned before he liked traveling, but he wants to see the entire world. people have done it before so why couldn't he?

♔︎ FEARS & WORRIES.
failure⠀٠⠀being alone seeing his birth mother

his family name should be success because that's all they were about. most of the men in his family were successful and if antonio didn't succeed he would be disowned, and cut off. sometimes he wondered if he was only alive to bring further success to the family name. being alone is something he can't handle, it could be due to attachment issues thanks to his mother leaving, but even if he had to pay for a friend he'd be okay as long as they could have fun. being alone meant he'd have to be alone with his thoughts which he couldn't handle. he had a suicide attempt once, and only his stepmother knew of it but he knew he had to either never do it again, or succeed next time. now, knew his mother. she was with him up until he was twelve, so he had fond memories of her. nobody knew why she left, or at least they told antonio they didn't. it hurt a lot, and he thought maybe it was his fault as a child. because he wasn't as tough as his brothers, or as smart or as handsome or as well-behaved. so he's afraid of seeing her because he doesn't want her to confirm those thoughts. he also hates spiders and bugs in general. he's afraid of them, sure he'll kill them but if you wanna scare him then throw a bug on him.
⠀⠀⠀
⠀
⠀⠀
♔︎ VOICE.
accent⠀٠⠀melodic ٠ low
⠀⠀
antonio has a very distinct voice, there weren't many italians around where he lived, so his accent stood out on its own, but with his very smooth way of speaking along with how low his voice was, there was no way you couldn't tell it was him speaking. though when he's angry, his voice gets rough, and he tends to speak quicker and his accent gets so thick you almost can't understand him. he liked to brag about how sexy italian accents were, and according to the world italy came in fourth place when it came to that, so he wasn't exactly wrong. he just liked
to indirectly say that his voice was sexy.

⠀⠀♔︎ FACIAL.
dark brown eyes ٠ permanent eyebrow slit ٠ cleft chin
⠀⠀
antonio was a handsome man, you could never tell him otherwise. he did have a handsome face, a strong jawline, no acne, and very nice lips. he has a bit of an intense stare since his eyelids usually hang low as if he's tired. he can look bored or annoyed when his face was relaxed but that's honestly just his face. he has a slit in his eyebrow thanks to a scar, his brother tripped him as a kid and he hit his eyebrow on the corner of the wall, it was so bad that the area was swollen and bruised for a while, but when the swelling went down he had no hair there, he gets the slit-shaped up every so often, no point in hiding it if it looked like a normal slit. he has \ a cleft chin, almost everyone in their family did, just simple genetics. he has a strong jaw, sharp even, and his lips were anything but thin, which he made sure to take care of. Embarrassingly so, he struggles to grow facial hair but he doesn't admit that, just says that he prefers clean-shaven, although he did wonder if he'd look more like his brothers if he did have a beard.
⠀⠀⠀[c]⠀⠀
⠀⠀
♔︎ PHYSIQUE.
5'11 1/2⠀٠⠀muscular⠀٠⠀mole on thigh
Inverted triangle

being an athlete, he was pretty muscular, he was constantly working out. sure, he ate a lot and drank alcohol, but it canceled out because his workouts were a little crazy. his body shape was an inverted triangle, his waist was 'snatched' as some might say. he was shorter than his brothers, close in height, but they were both 6'1 or taller. his father was tall and married a tall woman because what was the point of having a son if he was short? not to love him or anything. he has a few moles on his pelvic area, they're pretty small so no big deal to him.
[c]⠀⠀
⠀⠀
♔︎ STYLE.
no tattoos⠀٠⠀no piercings⠀٠⠀sandalwood
⠀⠀
antonio had no tattoos and no piercings. he wasn't against them, it just wasn't accepted in his household. he couldn't have a professional job with a sleeve honestly, it just seemed like someone a loser would do. he thought piercings could be cool but his family would call him homophobic slurs but he had to agree, it wasn't a normal guy thing in his culture. he didn't have a specific aesthetic but if he had to put a name on it, he'd call himself a clean rich boy, which was true. his signature scent is sandalwood, he had a cologne he used every day was that scent so that's what he usually smelt like.

healthy⠀٠⠀seasonal allergies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
random sharp pain ٠  smoker
⠀⠀
antonio is a generally healthy person, seeing as he's active almost every day and although he does drink alcohol, wine is usually, only with dinner, and when he drank heavily it was at parties which wasn't every day. he does have seasonal allergies which piss him off, especially during springtime sports. he does take medicine for it though since they can get bad. Now he doesn't know why, and he doesn't address it but he'll randomly get a very sharp pain, he could be fine running around all day then suddenly feel intense pain that'll almost make him fall but it doesn't happy day and passes within seconds so who cares? although he is currently healthy, he does smoke. cigarettes, weed, and vapes so his lungs won't always keep up. he is more of a social smoker though so it's not too bad.

⠀⠀
♔︎ MENTAL.
mid⠀٠⠀mommy & daddy issues
internalized homophobia ⠀٠ toxic masculinity

antonio would say he had great mental health, but that wasn't true. sure he always seemed to be great but it was honestly in the middle. in fact, his happiness is always exaggerated when he's around people. most of his positive emotions are. he thinks it'll help ignore the fact that his mother left and his father is a piece of shit, but he's just letting it all build up. thanks to his father's homophobic remarks and beliefs, of course, antonio took them in. you may say he's old enough to know better but no, he grew up with a family with all these beliefs and has known them all his life. why wouldn't you believe your family? so he internalized all that, surprising his homo urges because of all the bad things that come with it. also thanks to his father and older brothers, he's very toxic in his masculinity. he doesn't see a problem with locker room talk, and to be honest it unknowingly takes a toll on his mind, it confuses him. he doesn't know if he really believes these things, he doesn't do it or think it when he's on his own. cue identity crisis? overall, he wasn't a poster boy for mental health considering he did try to take his own
life, but he could pretend he was!

high class
⠀⠀
antonio is a student, now does he know what he wants to be? no, so that's why he's in school, going for a master's. honestly, once you have a masters in anything practical you can get any job you want. so he's just delaying time by staying in school longer, it's not like he's paying for it anyway, but eventually, he finds a place in politics. his family is catholic, or loose catholics anyway. they don't obey the moral law, the men don't practice abstinence and they still eat meat on days they shouldn't. but still, they attend mass and such. antonio on the other hand doesn't. he and his stepmother don't usually go unless his dad was home or other family was visiting. it just wasn't their thing, but antonio sure does go to confession whenever things are weighing down on him too much. he lives in a mansion obviously, his family is rich. it's a beautiful place really and he loves hosting so he can show off how his house is so much better than yours. he is high class, so they can afford it too, the lavish party life, no struggle here.

♔︎ ORIENTATION.

antonio is most definitely bisexual, he would most definitely have sex with a guy and he figured that out through porn. but the romantic part of it was much more complicated, there were some men he'd date, but he was super specific with it, or maybe he pretended to be super specific so he didn't feel 'fully bi'. he was closeted, everything would be ruined if he came out, he would most definitely be cut off and this guy has never worked a job a day in his life, so he'd have nothing. because of this, he has a female lean. he'd rather date a female because he is closeted, all relationships with guys would be secret, secrets are fun anyway! he is monogamous, if he's in a relationship then he only wants it with one person. now dating-wise, he can date and fuck whoever he wants if he's not in a relationship, which is usually what he prefers.

⠀⠀
♔︎ ADDITIONAL.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
physical touch and gift giving ⠀٠⠀single
⠀⠀
antonio's love language is physical touch, that's why he loves sex so much. it's so intimate and connecting, sure he does it with many different people but that's the joy of it. these people want him, and he wants to feel wanted. he enjoys giving gifts, spending money on his s/o, and just overall spoiling them. he wanted to share his riches with the one he loved because it made him feel happy. he could never do long distances, date someone who is always busy, or someone who has strict parents because he enjoyed those sleepovers and cute little dates, or just simply being around each other.

⠀⠀
angelo was antonio's father, and antonio was his last child since he figured three sons was enough to secure the legacy. angelo was a tough man and very disciplined because that's how he was raised. his father owned a car dealership, along with his father before that and so on. he could be cruel and he wasn't the best father, but he didn't have sons to coddle them, he had sons to ensure their family's endless success. sure, that came with risks but he figured when they were successful adults, he'd get some thanks. he was a traditional conservative man in every terrible way, homophobic, sexist, and a bit racist.

alessia was a very sweet lady, she met angelo in school, and she was popular in her neighborhood parents loved her and so did the boys. she was sweet, pure, and pretty, so when angelo took interest in her people were surprised. but he was sweet, swooned, and trapped her. they married young, and before alessia had the chance to go to school to become a surgeon, she was pregnant with her first child. angelo was happy because that meant his wife would stay home while he went out and did as he pleased. alessia wasn't the happiest wife, she stayed home constantly to cook and clean, after having antonio, she realized that he was the sweetest brother from birth. but as much as she loved her boys, her hatred for angelo might've been a bit stronger. towards the end she was miserable, barely cooked and cleaned, was withdrawn, and barely cared whenever angelo yelled at her. then one day while everyone was out, she packed everything that belonged to her and left the country.

jo didn't come from a rich household but she was spoiled, with gifts and love. she never really wanted to work, and she was that pretty pink airhead girl in high school that everyone liked to be around. she's sweet, funny, honest, and very caring, but she's not very smart. she had no desire to work, especially since things have always been handed to her. that didn't mean she was lazy, she just prioritized fun and wanted to be able to do whatever she wanted. so she didn't go to college, she traveled and partied, and she decided to go to italy with a few friends. while they were there they met a group of guys, including angelo. now she knew angelo was older and he was quite the dilf, so she decided to just have a temporary sugar daddy. but he paid for everything and gave her expensive gifts, making he feel so special. it stayed a thing when she went back to the u.s, and they kind of started dating. now jo was seeing other guys on the side, guys her age but not as rich. she wanted her fun, she was young and didn't plan on settling down. then angelo asked her to marry him, and she was shocked. she saw it as a fun thing... but maybe it could still be a fun thing. after a bit she decided to marry him on certain conditions, he was rich and she could probably get away with sleeping with her trainer or something like those housewives did in the movies. angelo's sons were weird about it and rightfully so, she was just a few years older than luca, but that just meant she got along with them great, especially antonio, he was reluctant because of his mommy issues but she broke through. she explained that she wasn't a mother, she was the woman married to his father, and things could be cool, or not cool but that was up to him. since that talk they were pretty close, she was more like an older sister, figure if anything until she found him. jo saved antonio from a suicide attempt, and ever since then, she took a more protective role over him.⠀⠀⠀

luca is the firstborn son, and that came with a lot. he was the one that was pushed too hard, parenting was new, and he was the 'heir' to everything. he was the toughest sibling, he knew what 'strong men' were supposed to be like in society, and how men who didn't fit that were treated. his family taught him that. he didn't need therapy, he needed to suck it up and be a man, and his brothers had to do the same thing. so that's what he did, it was his way of protecting them, in his mind anyway. made sure they weren't exposed to anything gay-positive, he wasn't homophobic really, he had gay friends in school but around family or important people he pretended to be. he pushed his brothers, and bullied them a bit, but also showed them things. nico was easy, the guy was stonehearted. but antonio was a soft boy, a sweet boy. Luca loved that, he really did, but still it couldn't stay that way. so he was especially mean to antonio, but at the end of the day he'd take his younger brothers out to eat and for ice cream.

nico has a schizoid personality disorder, it's undiagnosed but everyone knew something was wrong. as a child he wasn't very interested in making friends or playing with the other children, he would critique fantasy stories, or criticize the main characters in children's stories. he preferred to be by himself, and improve his skills instead of hanging out with friends. he excelled in school because of this but he wasn't popular, he wasn't bullied or anything but he didn't have many friends. he didn't want many friends. he spent time with his brothers but observed more. he knew things other people didn't know, he knew antonio liked guys, and he saw the way he was with some of his guy friends. he was traditional and conservative, just like his father, people thought that nico was the best opinion for the heir, he didn't care about people's feelings, didn't react to praise or criticism and he had no problem doing whatever he needed to get to his goal. he didn't speak to antonio much, not more than he needed to. wasn't personal, just didn't need or want to.

jaden's a really goofy and fun person, he met antonio in middle school when the italian first moved here. he liked him, took notice of him and showed him around, and taught him cool things. he thought the immigrant was hilarious, even if it was unintentional. he was antonio's first american friend. ever since then, they've been best friends. ride or die. he doesn't know about antonio's sexuality, but frankly, antonio hasn't told anyone about it. he knew about the mental health stuff and was there, he was always there.

♔︎ BLUE BOY
(under construction it is rushed)⠀⠀
antonio was born on august 14th in italy, his mother's only home birth. alessia wanted to relax in the comfort of her own home with his birth, she had so many things set up due to not wanting to have a rough pregnancy like she did the previous times. so there he was, crying his little heart out in his mother's arms. he was a pretty baby, and he started smiling as soon as he knew how. alessia took him out a lot, seeing how her other sons were turning out she wanted to expose him to different types of children. she had a mom group at her house weekly for mothers to talk, mainly gossip, and let their kids play together. antonio loved playing with his friends, he loved being better than them too. he had no problem being social, watching how his father and oldest brother effortlessly talked to people so he just copied them. but his father thought he was soft, whenever he got hurt or some kid took his toy he'd cry and run to get someone older to deal with it for him. so when antonio came inside to cry about this kid taking his bike, angelo told his son to stop being a pansy and hit him. so antonio went back outside and beat the absolute shit out of the said kid. and it worked, fear worked. he slowly stopped crying about things and instead started to use fear to get what he wanted. he became a bit of a bully in school, he didn't get into too much trouble because for some reason people respected his dad. he loved his brothers, he did but they bothered the shit out of him. they would always get him angry or cry to the point he was blindly swinging. they took any chance to terrorize him, but still, they were brothers. he didn't hate them, but they sure as hell were annoying. he started to learn english because his father got the boys a private tutor, so they could sharpen their skills. he enjoyed life in italy, sure his father was mean and his brothers picked on him but overall things were great. he was a momma's boy which alesia loved, he had a maid, a private tutor, and plenty of friends. one day he come home from school to an empty house which was weird because his mom went grocery shopping the day before. his father was away so antonio was alone until his brothers got home. he was crying, obviously trying not to and this time, luca didn't give him any shit about it. they sat there together while nicolo made dinner, he was the best cook out of all of them. they fed antonio and put him to sleep and everyone else discussed what happened, why she left, and what was the next step. a lot of family came over those next few days. antonio was depressed, no denying it, but nobody gave him shit for bring sad.

(SUICIDE MENTION HERE)
eventually they moved to america, antonio had a problem adjusting because of the culture and how different things were. sure he had some family in america but he didn't really know them so it was still weird. once he started middle school he met a boy named jaden who thought antonio was hilarious, even though it was unintentional. since then, they boys have been inseparable. he realized he liked boys because of jaden, how flustered he used to get when they'd wrestle, dreaming of the boy. but he saw how gay people were treated, so he'd never say anything. as time went on, he got more popular and a lot sadder. in eighth grade he befriended some really sad and weird people, learning about depressing and odd things. they sucked him in a bit, bringing his mental health down like crazy, especially when he dated one of 'em. the girl was crazy and got around, everyone knew that but antonio saw a sadder side to her. she was #broken, and antonio confided in her, she was the only one that he told everything to. then she cheated on him, it was his first heartbreak and being so young, he felt like his life was over, especially when she threatened to blackmail him. he tried to kill himself, he psyched himself up to it, convincing himself it was the right thing to do, it wouldn't matter to anyone, they would get over it. so he sat in that bathroom, contemplating pills or the tub, deciding to go with the tub. he filled it and pumped himself up some more, it'd be embarrassing to chicken out. so he did it, he got in the tub and went under the water. now jo realized that antonio was taking forever in the bathroom, she didn't really suspect he was trying to off himself but she wanted to go get ice cream together. so she knocked, and knocked but no answer. so she unlocked the door with the key and found him. (skipping graphic details for now) jo started to be more of a mother to antonio, but oddly enough he was all happy afterwards, ignoring the embarrassment and doing his best to show his stepmom that he was okay. after that day he never tried anything again, he thought about it when he was alone but never. he didn't even talk about it, jo told jaden but the boy knew not to talk about it. so there he was, thriving and living his life. popular, girls wanted him, his future life already set up, and yet he still felt a hole inside of him.
