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

Rogue's used to people keeping their distance. ;) She'd be friendly, too, but not overly so.

Wanda probably wouldn't brush him off, but she probably wouldn't understand about the flirting. XD She's cute like that. ^^

Sooraya is incredibly thankful for the respect, and would absolutely show it back in return. She'd be subservient to him, because that's how she was raised.

Logan pretty much ignores the kids that bother him. I doubt he'd ignore Angelo. ^^

YAY MIJITA! We'll ignore the huge age difference. ;) Paige will go a little red and flustery at the flirtation and teasing... but she's probably used to it by now. And when she and Jono are in one of their "off-again" phases, she'll probably go to Angelo and be like "wtf?" Only... without the f because Paige doesn't swear. XD

Yeah, the age difference is a thing, isn't it? But really, to be honest, Angelo missed out on a LOT of his youth, and he only got his high school diploma like two years ago. He's lived a lot in terms of really tough adult experience, but he's still a kid in a lot of ways, and I think that shows in that he relates so well with people younger than him.

ANYWAY. I ramble, I ramble. Angelo says Paige can come be all "wtf" at him whenever she wants. He's cool with that, and loyalty to Jono or not, he'd help her out too. He's a helpful guy, and it's all good. :)

	Rambling is a-okay! ^_^ I mean, it totally makes sense that he's living out bits of missed childhood and all. I think a lot of the mutants at the school are doing that. Wanda's kinda like that, since her childhood was so weird. But I digress. He's so sweet! I'm sure Paige considers him one of her closest friends, too. ♥ (Reply to this) (Parent)
