Hey there, team! This is Callirhoe again (I know, I know, I was JUST HERE, but this is important, guuuys) with a new guy. Please welcome Angelo Espinosa, known as Skin, into your midst. Angelo's 23, so among the oldest of the students here, and taking college-level courses in computer science at the academy with FORGE (whom Angelito thinks is totally badass). He can't very easily go to the university in town because, well, his skin is all grey and saggy and he looks really weird in his normal state. The upside of this is that he can actually control his extra skin, of which he has about six feet, and shift it, compress it, stretch it, and shape it according to his will. Yeah. He thinks it's pretty awesome, too.

Angelo, who loves nicknames and will answer to just about anything including but not limited to Angelito, Angie, Skin, Chulito, Grandmaster Fly, and City Boy, is a ladies' man, a total flirt and smooth talker, and a nice guy. Being one of the oldest students on campus, he's got a sort of big-brother attitude, especially toward the kids who have, shall we say, "different" appearances. He's got a good sense of humor and jokes a lot, but a lot of that is so that he can avoid facing his demons, which are very real and very serious: he was a gang member in LA before his mutation manifested, his father was killed when he was young due to gang violence, and Angelo actually faked his own death in a drive-by in order to escape undetected after his skin went all crazy on him. You can read his whole profile here, if you like, but them's the basics.

BUT he mostly keeps all of that to himself, and nobody except his BFF (Jono, y/y?) might know all that. In general he's an outgoing guy with a smile for everyone and a joke or absurd story up his sleeve at all times. He's been around the school for years, so he probably knows just about everybody, and I'd love to make some connections! Especially: Jono, Paige, Jubilee, fellow college students, fellow Spanish speakers, fellow old-school video game lovers, pretty girls, and anybody who'd like him. Or hate him, really, I'm not picky. :) As before, my e-mail and AIM are on the contact page, so feel free to hit me up anytime. <3

Yay Angelo!

BANSHEE CAN BE COOL WITH HIM YES? XD I mean, Sean tries to be cool with everyone, but he'd think very highly of Angelo and his attitude on life. (He also loves talking with kids in foreign languages, so he can chat him up in Spanish!)

Remy sees other flirts as good friends and likes having friendly competitions. Especially when he's on the rebound (like right now), so I can see him as going to hang out with Angelo in hopes of his day being a little brighter for it.

Vanessa actually knows Spanish, too. I... I don't know why I assumed she did when I picked her up, but it stuck. Also, she's a very pretty lady (leggy, busty, and fit - and blue sometimes, but...) and could use some cheering up most of the time lately it seems.

Dunno about Jay. He has a hard time associating with people in his class. But if you're game for it, we could see if the two could have a big-brother/little-brother relationship, since Jay would get a chance to know him through Jono, and he is still not very happy with his own big brother.

:)

Oh, awesome! Angelo misses his home like whoa, so he'd love to chat with Sean in Spanish. And he likes that Sean is pretty low-key and not all teachery all the time, so I think they'd get along even though Angelo is not a big fan of authority figures in general. ;)

I think Angelo would get on with Remy as well, even if Jono isn't so much impressed with the kid. :P He can definitely come and shoot the breeze with Angelo anytime, and they SHOULD have friendly competitions over the lay-deeees. :D

I love that Vanessa knows Spanish -- that's a big plus in Angelo's book! Also, she's hot. The blue skin is no detraction for him, and he figures with his looks, it's not fair to be colorist. He'd be glad to cheer her up ANY time.

I'd love it if Angelo looked after Jay like a big brother. Seriously. He's so much better at dealing with other people's problems than his own, and he'd definitely want to chat and help Jay figure out his stuff. <3
