who? alphie would do anything in his power for his close friends and family. the people that mean the most to him see his softer side and that deep down, he does have a big heart. he isn't always such a surly dick. people outside of his circle tend to think he comes off like a pretentious douchebag. which may or may not be intentional. his sarcasm isn't doing him any favors. what? unknown to most, alphonso frequently volunteers at local animal shelters and hosts charity events at his gallery to help raise money for them. along with the charity events, he works with the local shelters to hold monthly adopt-a-thons for animals in need. he's a closeted nerd but anyone that visits his apartment would know better. one of his most prized possessions is a signed beetlejuice poster, which hangs over his bed. he also idolizes freddie mercury and has a habit of eating cereal every day at 3am. alphie speaks both fluent italian and english. when? alphonso finds true happiness whenever he's painting and/or drawing. art is his outlet and where he channels his energy. be it negative or positive. he's a deep believer in doing what you love will find you true happiness. where? ever since he was a child alphie had a deep love affair with art. his culture has always been a big inspiration for him. his mother amelia took him to art galleries as a child and educated him on the many famous italian artists. thus sparking his dream to become one of them. he now owns his own gallery named spazio, which means 'space' in italian. spazio is located in hollywood and is where alphie makes his living selling his paintings. why? at the age of five his parents moved their family from italy to los angeles in order to better their lives and the lives of their children. though alphie has a strained relationship with his father, he feels at peace with himself. he knows that he has strides to make in opening up to people and not bottling things up. since opening his own gallery and forcing himself to socialize, he's overcome a lot of his social anxieties. how? alphie doesn't cope well with stress and is a firm believer in whiskey fixing most things. he smokes like a maniac whenever stressful situatins hit. though, if there ever was a zombie apolcalypse his ego would make him believe that he'd be daryl dixon'ing it out there. |
