Mental Information
Personality: Dominic Andretti is something of a lone wolf and a very tough love kind of guy: he is very much a man of mystery and few words. So when he says something, it’s usually worth listening to and you can be sure he means it. He’s not the sort of guy to give out compliments like they’re candy either. It’s not that he’s antisocial; it’s just that he just tends to play his cards close to his vest, preferring to do his own thing. Unfortunately for him, this attitude often gets misinterpreted as elitism or arrogance but nothing could be further from the truth. Dominic is quite adaptable and shrewd – he can take the lead or take directions. This isn’t to say that he lacks pride, simply that he has no problem doing what needs to be done to get what he wants: he is very goal oriented and focused. It is hard to distract him from an objective or make him lose his temper. He was raised to be reserved and honest: to the point and eloquent. If you’re looking for someone who will lie to save your ego, don’t go to Dom. Some like to tease that he doesn’t have a heart and even though Dominic never argues, and sometimes even plays along with their jokes, it is not the case at all. The young Mr. Andretti is a diamond in the rough kind of gentleman: there’s nothing proper or manufactured about him and he’s definitely not above cursing or cracking sarcastic jokes, but he’ll never hesitate to hold a door open for a lady. He is very selective with who he opens up to and his trust is something slowly earned but well kept. It’s not that Dominic doesn’t have a heart, only that he is very careful about who he opens it to.
Likes: his alone time, and keeping a low profile, European cars, jazz.
Dislikes: arrogance, ignorance, and bullies, spiders, things hanging from his rearview mirror, subpar coffee (Gold Coast blend or nothing) and cheap shoes.
Mentality/Ideal/Belief: Sometimes the most influence can be done from the wings rather than on the stage.
Physical Information
Build: Slender yet muscular, deceivingly strong
Defining Marks: a tattoo of an Italian renaissance cross on his right shoulder
Description: For a loner he cares a lot about how he looks. Typically he wears
Italian made clothes, since he’s from there. He takes pride in how he looks. It’s his one minor vice. He also likes nice shoes. He’s not a huge jewelry guy except for a ring on a chain around his neck. He has an olive complexion due to his many hours in the Italian sun and life on his parent’s large property in Palermo, Italy. His hair is dark and often all over the place, in the kind of way models spend hours trying to mimic. His long arms and legs forever plague him on his journey to find pants and shirts that fit him appropriately. He likes fitted shirts, which allow him to move during street races, fights, and other activities. They also show off his hard earned physique and well defined muscles. His long neck and slender face give him a stern and unforgiving look, which he uses to his advantage in warding off unwanted attention.
Fighting Information
Fighting Style: MMA and Kick Boxing
Years Practiced: 10 years
Description of style: Although he prefers to use firearms he is extremely proficient at close quarters hand to hand combat. He was taught MMA and Kick Boxing by an ex-Israeli Special Forces Captain who was a friend of the family. Kick Boxing is a modified version of regular boxing is used around the world to train soldiers and security personal. Kicking boxing has all the power and manliness of boxing with the added addition of the use of ones’ legs. MMA is short for Mixed Martial Arts. As the name states, it is an amalgamation of various and the most widely useful bits of kung fu, ju jitsu, krav maga, and other assorted martial arts styles. He is a master of MMA and Kick Boxing and is most definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Overall Strengths: He is very strong. This is due to his many hours of labor on the family vineyard and through his rigorous training in Kick Boxing and MMA. His trainer also had him work on many ways to stay in shape and he follows those ways every day. His ability to predict attacks comes from his extensive training in MMA. He is ambidextrous which allows him to use his weight very effectively and gives him good spatial awareness which helps him when a fight deteriorates into a grappling match. (~50 words)
Overall Weaknesses: Dom is no superhero and definitely not perfect, with some obvious weaknesses. Dom is street smart which is great when is out on the town, but doesn’t help him much when it comes to being enrolled in an American high school. He is street smart but that doesn’t mean it came easy to him. He is a diligent worker and while not a quick learner he makes up for speed in earnest effort. His other drawback is that he is not the most outgoing of guys. He is nice enough but he gives off such an offsetting vibe most people leave him alone. Not that he minds but in the scheme of things he could probably use a little more charisma. (~50 words)
History Information
History: The History of Dominic “The Driver” Andretti starts in Italy. (Only one character already knows the next parts so yeah, don’t tell anyone) Basically that is all anyone in the states really knows besides the fact that his parents own a huge plot of land and an enormous vineyard. Now for the secret stuff. Dominic Andretti was born August 31, 1989 to the Andretti family in Tuscany, Italy. The Andrettis are one of the oldest and most reclusive families in Italy. They keep to themselves on their large estate and orchard preferring the company of family over that of strangers. The Andrettis are only known by name outside the country for their wonderful Andretti Estates Merlot which sells for around fifty US dollars a bottle. Dominic grew up alongside olive trees, grape vines, goats, sheep, farm equipment and three brothers. Mattias, Guido, and Salvatore are his younger brothers who love their big brother as much as he loves them, which, being Italian, is a lot.
Dominic’s father and mother are old die hard Italians. Dominic’s father, Marco Andretti, was born in 1949 and raised in a post war Europe. Thus, he is always reminding his more fortunate sons of how lucky they are to be living in such an easy manner. He served in the Italian military from 1969 until 1972 when he was recruited into an international special forces unit. Here he met two men who would become long time friends; an Israeli officer named David Ilan Yakim, who would later train his sons and live with him on his estate and a strapping young hard headed Marine named Azacca “Zac” LaVeau. Zac would later marry a very good family friend; the beautiful Simona Campioni. Marco retired when his wife gave birth to his first son, Dominic, in 1989. Dominic’s mother, Isabella Medici, born in 1939, with no relation to the famous Medicis of old, is also a very interesting character. She grew up in Florence in a respectable family. She went to the best schools and had the best of everything, but she wasn’t not a vain girl. She and her childhood friend Simona Campioni would roam the countryside looking for trouble. Once in high school, she knuckled down and took a real liking to the learning of other languages. She could speak Russian, Japanese, English, Romanian, Greek, Swahili, Urudu, Pharsi, and several other languages by the end of her third year of college. This caught the attention of many an intelligence agency, and a year later she was working for the CIA out of Rome. This is how, in 1980 she met the dashing Marco Andretti and his two friends Zac LaVeau and David Yakim. She was the units translator for a mission in the Middle East and she quickly grew attached to Marco and two years later they married.
Dominic’s earliest years were spent working the vineyard of his father and mother and going to school. He was a good student, not great but he didn’t fail. He learned several languages at the constant urging of his mother and how to fight at the constant urging of his father and his uncle Yakim. He always found that having a Jewish Israeli for an uncle in an entirely Catholic family was odd, but he never gave it too much thought. He also spent every summer with the family of Zac LaVeau and Simona Campioni, who had been introduced by his mother and father and later married. His best memories were made while playing with his brothers and the LaVeau children Antonio and Natasha (the pair were fraternal twins and looked it too). He was first closest with Antonio due to his fear of cooties when he was younger, because yes, even Italians can get them. However, as the years went on, Dom grew much closer to Tash and by his teenage years they had an exceptionally close bond. Tash and Dom are extremely close friends and purposely ambiguous as to the extent of their relationship. And that brings you up to date on the mysterious yet simple life of Dominic Andretti!
