ALVARO DONOVAN

Full Name: Alvaro Antonio Donovan }}
Alvaro - ( pronounced Al-vah-roh ) is of Old German origin and the name's meaning is "all guard". There is no proof that his mother knew what exactly the reasoning behind this name was, but as the years have easily rolled on, he has definitely lived up to the actual meaning.
Antonio - ( pronounced an-toh-nee-oh ) is of Spanish and Italian origin, and is also a variant of Anthony. The name's meaning is one far too scattered along these cultures to truly find, unfortunately. Varo's middle name was granted to him by his Uncle, though it was merely given due to how smoothly it meshed with his first name. There really isn't anything special about it.
Donovan - ( pronounced dah-na-vun ) is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and the meaning is "dark; brown-haired chieftain". Much like most children, Varo took the last name of his father to tie up the loose ends of his identity.
Nicknames: Despite his mother's love for his full first name, it seemed to shorten by two letters during his early childhood years and his twin sister can be to blame for that. After all, Alvaro could be considered fairly difficult for a small toddler to speak aloud. Now today, he prefers that everyone address him as simply Varo.
Age: He celebrated his Seventeenth birthday on December 14th of this year.

In depth body type - Standing at an impressive 6'4", height is something many will notice upon their first glance at Varo. He has a very long and considerably lanky look to all of his limbs, however with both sports he spends much of his time playing, he's definitely well-toned and athletically fit. For years, he's worked on building up his muscle capacity and honestly, he's now able to be proud of it.

Gait - On the topic of footwork, Varo can be placed within the section of mediocre. He's great with running, yes, but he's certainly not Olympics material. Nevertheless, he has been blessed without the burden of clumsiness and that allows him to play both sports he enjoys rather well.

Getting a better look - Varo's skin is of the Caucasian pigment and it tans often when he's out gallivanting around outside. His facial structure is on the prominent side, thanks to his German and Irish roots. His straight brown hair is styled in a semi-long shaggy way and Varo always seems to be brushing it out of his line of view. A few light freckles on his nose remain from his childhood and if gandering close enough, the markings are still very visible.

Sense of fashion - In short, he doesn't necessarily have a recognized style he prefers any others. Usually his attire consists of simple shorts, a colorful t-shirt, a hat of some kind, and black vans. Though, he has been spotted wearing jeans of the tighter fit when off skateboarding with friends, so in that scenario, you really only have to subtract the shorts.

Likes: Skateboarding, spending time with his sister, hanging out with friends, chocolate covered strawberries, being in a relationship, photography & film making, reminiscing on great memories, any kind of dog, partying, and holidays.
Dislikes: Depressing people, hostility, manipulators, being cheated on, when his father is in town, talking about his mother, really bad hangovers, the feeling of jealousy, whores, and being ignored.
Goals: Getting into college on a sports scholarship and making a career out of his passion for filming&photography.
Fears: Falling in love with a whore and not being able to protect his sister.
The Secret(s): I always end up kissing my best friend when I'm drunk.
General Personality Description: Offering a sense of security }}

Cordial - It's never mattered what the occasion was for Varo; he's nearly always open for friendly chatter, even if it is pretty much meaningless. The boy smiles frequently, keeps his arms open wide in welcome, and spends a majority of his time living life with immense amounts of optimism. He doesn't have any trouble making friends generally and that's given him the opportunity to associate with a mixture of every high school social group. You could probably call him a drifter of sorts.

Undaunted - If it's one thing Alvaro Donovan is known for, it's certainly his level of courage. Whether it be with some idiotic stunt his friends wish to pass the time with, or perhaps, pursuing someone he may have a large fondness for...you can count on him to step up and take a swing at whatever it is. Of course, this trait does shift into a downfall at times, but it balances Varo out during all the others.

Protective - This trait is self explanatory within itself, but there are specific parts of it that should be made known. Varo grew up at his sister's side and thus, it has made him an individual constantly ready to defend. Ever since his mother passed away, his heart has developed an increasingly wide soft spot for women. So in most cases if you're close to Varo and are in fact of the female gender, expect him to always look out for you.

Loyal - Bromance and romance go hand in hand here, my friends. He's a great friend to have at your side, you don't have to worry about him snatching up your girl while you aren't looking, and you can count on Varo to have your back with just about anything. As far as relationships go, he's never been one to cheat on somebody he's currently tied down to. Now, that doesn't keep him from bouncing around to each relationship, but he believes deceit isn't the answer and he'll be truthful with you rather than complicating things with lies.

Egocentric - Unfortunately, his confidence does flow a little too thickly to his head sometimes. Varo walks with his head held high and his smile laced with pride, yes, and that doesn't help his sociabilitas much as one would believe it to be. Many have tried to throw the boy off of the pedestal he stands on constantly but eventually, he'll just climb all the way back up and the cycle will start all over again.

Tenacious - With his protective nature obviously comes the clingy side of it. If you've found a way to get underneath Varo's skin, I really hope you have no intentions on leaving his side. He holds his favorite people a little too tightly at times and this causes their relationship to feel a bit smothered. He's always sticking his nose in things that aren't his business, he's always trying to spend as much time as he possibly can with these people...overall, it hasn't proven to be a good thing. Not to mention, he can be a bit of a pushover as well.

History: One that's not too hard to follow }}

The beginning - Born on December 14th, Alvaro Antonio Donovan was the first of two born into the early morning. He was placed in the hands of a loving and young married couple, known by the names of Evelyn & Issac Donovan. Everything in his life at this stage moved along swimmingly many would say. His father had always been a wealthy man and that eliminated the possibility of his parents struggling to raise their two first children. For nearly all of his life, Varo grew up living in the big apple; New York, New York. The city that hardly ever sleeps, the ubeat city life, this are all things the boy is used to.


The tragedy of his childhood - Shortly after turning seven, Varo's mother was diagnosed with the well-known cancer of leukemia. As a small boy, he hardly understood anything that was going on and sadly eight months after a long fight, Evelyn finally died on a Sunday afternoon. The family took the loss of the woman roughly,but eventually, things began slowly getting backto normal.

Over the first few years of Evelyn being gone, Issac grew further and further apart from all three of the children his wife had brought into the world. The man worked as much as he possibly could and where success definitely came out of that financial decision, the man ended up missing the chance to watch his children grow up. Instead, it was a nanny that raised them like they were of her own DNA; and of course, their grandmother and grandfather chipping in when necessary. The once closely knit family weren't really one at all anymore and ever since Issac's
