His talent, (naturally, given his position) is dealing with the black market, gangs, and the mafia. This networking also gives him an edge when it comes to knowing things. What parts to buy, where to buy them, what jobs to take, who to ask. Also, living with gangs. Years of living with them have given him the expertise on how to deal with gangs, and survive through it. He usually carries a few guns and knives on him, as well.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>: Dark and moody, though he values his 'honor', though it's different than what most people would call honor. His first priority is to the family. Given his specialty, he tries to make himself always have an answer to any questions that could ever come up. He's not a generous smiler, though he is an appreciative person, and always repays his debts. Despite his usually sullen or cynic mood, he can still be counted as a valuable friend, to those that he lets call him that. Part of his dark mood stems from his frequent dealings with gangs, and the abrupt ending to his childhood.<br/><br/><strong>History</strong>: His father was the leader of a full blown mafia ring in Italy and had all the riches and perks that came with such a position. He grew up with a spoiled childhood, running around a mansion, getting whatever he wanted, ordering around his father's henchmen. His mother died when he was born, so there was no one to stop him and he was spoiled utterly by his father. As his father's only child, his father did not hesitate to give him anything, he got toys, front row seats to soccer games, you name it.<br/><br/>As he grew up, he started learning his father's business. He learned the comings and goings of his father's henchmen, listened in on secret meetings, and later began openly sitting in on meetings. Even at the young age of eleven, Adriano knew most of the happenings of the gang, and his father knew this. Of course, he was being primed to take over his father's position. He was taking self-defense, and was learning how to shoot a gun. And he was indulging in his new hobby, which happened to be cars. He loved the Ferrari his father owned especially, it was a rare classic, and he adored it, though he wasn't allowed to touch it. He satisfied himself by using his father's other luxury cars.<br/><br/>Of course, this all changed when another gang member came in and started gunning for his father's life. He claimed that his father had wronged him, yet his father tried to explain to the man that it was just a misunderstanding, and it wasn't something he had done. Adriano himself was fuzzy of the details. However, it ended up being that he found himself almost killed several times. He knew that if he died, no one would let a thirteen year old take his position, and they would fight for his position instead, so he made arrangements for his son to be sent to America in the event he died. He also put a decent sum of money in a bank account for him. Sadly, this turned out to be necessary, and his plotting gang members had ended up Adriano's father.<br/><br/>One escape plan later, so it was that Adriano found himself on the streets in the USA, forced to live on his own. He had the money, but he had to find a living, and make sure he stayed alive. It turned out that all he really knew how to do well was steal and deal with gangs. He could've found another job, but it would've been inevitably boring. So he stole cars, and began flirting with various gangs. He never directly affiliated himself with any gang, but spent a while selling various parts and gadgets and sometimes even entire vehicles or shipments in trucks to gangs, as long as the price was right.<br/><br/>One night, when he was scoping out a car to steal, he noticed another man come in and attempt practically the same maneuver he himself was going to do. Adriano wasn't sure what to do, but for some reason he felt safe approaching the man. Adriano had experience reading people from his years, and something about this man told Adriano that they could be allies. True enough, Taras and Adriano became friends, if either of them would ever use that word explicitly, and Adriano joined the crew. It felt like a second family to him, and it was the only thing he had been lacking here. Money had never been a problem since he started stealing. But the crew felt good, it made him less lonely.<br/><br/>He acted as a liaison for the crew, going between the various gangs and the crew. The Triads were on the rise, though, and they were becoming more and more aggressive. Having lived in Italy, he had made a few trips to Asia on business with his father, so he knew what he was dealing with better than most others, but they were still growing and unpredictable. Adriano lived life on the edge, though, and the danger made him love the job all the more. Another reason he liked their kind of racing.<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description</strong>: 6'2, brown hair with some stubble, and green eyes. A moderately built body, enough to hold his own in a meeting for a black market dealing, and intimidate others in a dealing when necessary. His sullen expression can also add to the intimidation factor, though he's actually quite a friendly person to those who get to know him.<br/><br/><strong>Extra Info</strong>: He loves those new, shiny cars that are oh-so slick. However, nowadays, he gets paranoid and simply takes whatever car he finds interesting. He's always had a special thing for Ferraris though, just like his father.<br/><br/></span></div>
