So here is my idea for a character:
[hider=Juan Francisco Perico]
Name: Juan Francisco Perico
Nickname: Juanfra, Peri
Age: 29 (1975)
Occupation: Owner of the bodega (corner store) in town
Appearance: Juanfra is almost 6ft tall and has a rather strong build, owed to the physical nature of his work. He likes shaving his head bald, but keeps a nice full beard and has dark brown eyes. His go-to outfit is a pair of comfortable sneakers or boots, a pair of dark jeans and either a plain hoodie or sweater over a band or retro gaming shirt. Always wears his silver skull with green eyes earring, sometimes adds a cap or woollen hat depending on the weather. Has a small tattoo of a cute snake on his left wrist. 
   
Personality: Juan is an optimistic and extroverted person who is usually cheery and very chatty. He likes striking up conversations with people in his bodega and is a good listener. However, he also tends to overanalysing what others in town might think of him and has difficulties forgiving people once they have wronged him. Juan is not easily angered and can take jokes just as much as he likes making them, but if you do push him too far he might end up exploding in your face.  

Background: Juan is a 2nd generation immigrant to Mexican parents, born and raised in Santa Fe (NM). He had a sheltered and "normal" upbringing up until a tragedy struck his family when he was a senior in high school: His younger sister Laura went missing and was never found, which sadly also ended up tearing his family apart due to grief and anger. After the divorce, his dad stayed in Santa Fe while Juan and his mother moved to Havenwood to take care of his grandma Maria, who owed the bodega at that time. He started helping out there as his mom took over, as his grandma had gotten too old to manage it herself. This also meant he had to sacrifice his dreams to go to a large college and make something out of himself, but he accepted that to keep at least a part of his family together. Since then he has become the manager of the bodega to allow his mom to take of grandma full-time and has moved to a small but nice little apartment right above it. He has also made a few friends since moving here and does feel integrated in his nearby community, but is unsure if this is really the place he wants to spend the rest of his life. He dreams of one day leaving Havenwood and see as many parts of the world as possible, but is scared of what might happen to his family in his absence.

The Touch: Ever since they were children, Juan and his sister Laura have suffered from auditory hallucinations. They would hear voices speaking in soft whispers, but couldn't understand the words the majority of the time. More unsettling, every now and then the soothing whispers would be replaced with guttural sounds that seemed to be a song, and although they could make no sense of it, these songs felt soothing and familiar. As children they talked to their parents about this on multiple occasions, but no doctor could ever confirm anything to be wrong with the siblings. Eventually the pair stopped mentioning it to others, but would talk about it at length amongst them if the sounds got too intense or weird. After Laura disappeared, it became easier for Juan to understand the whispers, sometimes able to make out words or even sentences. Most of them end up being nonsensical listings of seemingly unrelated words.  
Weaknesses: Juan's biggest weakness is that he can react emotional a lot of times he should be rational, and is prone to overreaction rather than taking things calmly. He is confident in his day to day, but can get down and have bouts of self-doubt when alone at night, plagued by questions regarding his future and if he is wasting his life in this town. The fact that his sister's disappearance was never solved has created a need to protect what remains of his family and a big hole he has never been able to fill despite his tries to distract himself with alcohol or the occasional drug.     
Motivations: He hopes to be there for his family and protect them from anything happening to them. At the same time, he has dreams of one day visiting all the interesting places he has seen in books and movies, yearning for freedom and not feeling bound to a specific place or obligation. [/hider]
