name of character
Name: Antonio Fernandez-Carriedo
Nation: Spain
Gender: Male
Age:32
Occupation: Part-time cafe owner
Affiliation: Neutral
Superpower: Animal Control- With this superpower, Antonio can control any animal of his choosing to an extent. His mind become the animal, he feels and does what it feels and is capable of. His human body goes to sleep when his power is activated. If the animal dies, he does not, but he can feel the pain the animal goes through. When he uses this power, Antonio prefers to be somewhere his body will be safe from attack. He can't control humans, and controlling wild animals takes greater effort than domesticated ones.

Personality: Antonio is an easy-going, go with the flow kind of guy. He's laidback and relaxed, although able to work really hard when he needs to. His rough history and conquests don't seem to affect him much. Nor do any rough or brusque comments.
Antonio can and does let his emotions get the best of him at times. This happens when the people he loves are hurt or hurting, or when his close friends are in need of a confidence booster. As he is able to be very passionate about things he likes, he is also a great motivator.
Likes: Small Children-Yes, Antonio does like children, but not for the reasons most people think. He's really gentle with smaller children because at times, Antonio himself is like an overgrown child.
Tomatoes- Antonio loves, loves, looooooves tomatoes. He can't get enough of them, as shown by his cuisine. All dishes contain tomatoes somehow, and he loves to grow them in his spare time.
Music- He really enjoys passionate, meaningful music. Like serenatas, or mariachis, spanish music is what he's most comfortable with. The hidden meanings and intricate lyrics, the strong sound of the music, like a lover's whisper in the night.
Siestas- Antonio enjoys a good siesta, right after eating when he's warm and full, or after hard work in the gardens. It relaxes him, although, considering his laidback nature, it's not like he needs it.
Playing Guitar- Whenever he has spare time to himself, Antonio will usually get out his old acoustic and strum a tune. He plays with his friends at times. He occasionally sings along, too.
Dislikes:
Foulplay- Antonio watches a lot of soccer, and as such he knows a lot about how the players work. If he sees foulplay on the field, he will get up and yell at the television, and at the ref for being stupid or for taking sides.
The English- Antonio likes to pick fights with the English quite a bit, quarreling about his being the better pirate, or that his armada could have easily defeated them, that their food is bland, and that he got more gold from the New World than they did.
English food- being the country of spices and many different flavours, he doesn't like England's cuisine. To him, and to most everyone else, it's tasteless and bland. If you asked him, Antonio would tell you he'd rather fight a bull with nothing but his hands than eat English food.
Autotuned music- Antonio can't take the metallic, robot sound of some "popular" songs he hears on the radio. He prefers the sound of a real human voice, no matter how off-key it sounds in the song.
Technology- Being a bit of a country bumpkin, Antonio really dislikes confusing technology. He doesn't understand anything about the inner workings of computers, any text language, or anything that involves thinking with technology. If all he has to do is click or press a button, he will be fine.
Fatal Flaw: Antonio's fatal flaw is his laidback nature. He can be too naive at times, and people can use it to take advantage of him. He's too nice, if there is such a thing, and others will approach and step all over him. Other times, people can be saying one thing and meaning another, and he won't understand it without carefully thinking it over. This can often lead to misunderstandings.

Roleplay Sample:
Antonio lay down in the soft grass of his backyard. It had been a hard day for harvesting the tomatoes, and now that he was done he planned on napping for a little bit. He yawned, the sun on his belly making him drowsy. "Hmmm, this is the life. Tomato harvests and siestas everyday!" he exclaimed happily, talking seemingly to himself. He stretched and put his arms under hs head, gazing up at the clouds. Suddenly, he felt a movement in the grass. He sat up, curious and found a turtle. "hey, little guy! What're you doing out here?" he said in a friendly tone, picking it up. The turtle merely flailed slowly. "Aww, it's so cute! I'm keeping you! Your name is Henchturtle. Call me Boss!" he said, putting it on his head. The turtle continued to flail slowly and Antonio settled for carrying it in his hands. It was adorable! Vaguely, Antonio wondered if it was possible to teach a turtle to sit and fetch. "Hey, maybe you can go round up your friends and I can have a whole army of henchturtles to follow me around! It'll be so cute!" he chirped, imagining his little henchmen following him around and walking all over him with their cute turtle feet. Oh, maybe if he dressed like a turtle, Antonio could attract more of them! He imagined laying on his belly in the grass wearing a turtleneck sweater and a bulky backpack would do the trick. "Boss and his henchturtles. Si, that sounds very fun!" he sang.And that was how, about half an hour later, Antonio was outside again, uncomfortably hot in his only turtleneck sweater, wearing a bulky bag that looked more like a rock than anything. He had his henchturtle right beside him. "Come on, turtles.."
