Name Meaning: Cosmo is Italian for "order, decency."
Livellare is Italian for "balance." Together, his name is "Order, Decency, and
Balance."
And now here are some analysis summaries on Cosmo's
name!
Cosmo: You are a quick study, and can
be self-taught. Your curiosity can get the best of you, but you must learn to
concentrate. You have a great deal of loyalty to those you love. You have much
inner strength. You try to be cautious. You have good business insight. You are
always involved with projects and things to do. You need to learn flexibility.
Livellare: You are fair-minded sometimes to
the point of being opinionated. You have a strong need to be loved and
appreciated. You are relatively demonstrative in your affections. You enjoy
being stroked verbally and physically. You can easily detach from people and
situations. You enjoy unconventional friends. You can be quite inventive and
quite curious. You must learn the lessons of self-worth; learn to love yourself
before you can love others. You have much enthusiasm with a driving attitude
toward achievement in life. You enjoy a challenge. You can take thought-directed
actions. You need to learn to be expressive. You are a person who cannot
tolerate being misunderstood.
Em: *skips these* I
totally ignore alphanumericism, as it seems just a cut & paste way of
fluffing an app
Vessy: well their good building blocks
for creating your character but in the review process they tend to be
inconsequential.
Birthdate and Age / Zodiacal Sign: Cosmo is 16 years old
and was born on January 7th, making his zodiac sign a Capricorn. The sign
Capricorn is symbolized by the Goat and the sign's element is Earth. Capricorn
is ruled by the planet Saturn. Capricornians are honest, thorough, realistic,
ambitious, business-like and careful. Capricorns can be cold and aloof. They are
determined, dependable, responsible and may be interested in collecting
antiques. Capricorns are very often politically minded. They have an excellent
sense of timing. Capricorns are also patient, reserved, cautious, faithful and
shrewd. They possess a great deal of drive, and their sense of duty is very
strong. Capricorns can be very suspicious at times. Some possible negative
aspects of the sign Capricorn are that they can be unfeeling, gloomy,
pessimistic, miserly, unyielding, self-centered, and revengeful.
Em: And he's not a Libra
why?
Vessy- Because That would be um...
logical? Come on can't go for the obvious here now can we
peoples!
Cosmo is a true Capricorn, though there are some minor
differences. Like Cosmo likes new things than the old antiques and isn't that
curious about things and loves changes than being conformed like the others and
doesn't have that much of a business intuition. Other than that, Cosmo has the
other traits of a Capricorn.
Vessy- But if he had those diverging
traits, wouldn't that make him umm... NOT a true Capricorn?
Physical Details:
Hair:
Flaming bright orange hair that has some purple streaks within it. Cosmo has
long hair like a metal rocker from the 80's cut unevenly on each side. His hair
gleems in the light since Cosmo uses a lot of hair gel and moose to make it that
way. His hair is dry, rough and easily fuzzy. He looks like a comic book dealer,
immature freak, or a punk rocker... and ultimately, he's none of
those!
Vessy: He has a mullet... a mullet... WHY
a ruddy mullet? For the love of god WHY? Orange and Purple... *breaks down in
tears* It's just so messed! I'm sorry its very creative! *flash backs to glam
rock*
Eyes and Face:
Cosmo has deep purple eyes eyes with a silver ring around his iris. Being that
his eyes are purple make him a little unusual, somewhat mysterious, and very...
happy. ^_^;; Additionally, he looks really innocent because they are shaped wide
and big. His eyebrows are thick, and colored orange with some streaks of fushia,
making them really psychedelic. His nose is in the center of his face, narrow
and long, with a rounded end, medium-sized, and one small gold nosering on his
left nostril. (Which also gave his dad a heartattack, but that comes later. XD)
Cosmo's mouth is big, since he likes talking a lot about manga and comic books
("LOOK! It's Catwoman. Here her ROAR! You must FEAR her. Doesn't she look so
hot?! Rawr, woman, rawr..."), his lips are shaped averagely, and are always
shaped into a bubbly-like smile. Constantly. (Call him Happy Man. XD) His face
overall is long but rounded, with a little bit of pudge to the cheeks.
Em: Okay... are these
dyed or does he have weirder genetics than your average anime style
character? And he has a big mouth because he talks a lot?
Huh?
Vessy: Okay so now Mullet is innocent
looking as well. And why in the name of all that is sugary would ANYONE in their
RIGHT mind DYE their EYEBROWS? It's also a general given that the nose is in the
center of the face... usually... although Picasso must've met up with some real
weirdos!
Build &
Carriage: At a height of five feet, nine, Cosmo's build sums up in one word:
lanky, really lanky. The bones show easily through his creamy olive colored
skin. He tends to have more muscle tone on his legs rather than his arms since
Cosmo enjoys running as a daily hobby. That's the only place where someone will
find a hint tone of muscle, and the rest is skin and bones. Cosmo walks with his
head high and shoulders relaxed, with no hunches whatsoever. He always has
eye-contact to a person, whether he has a crush on them or not. Cosmo is usually
seen with a small smile on his face when walking down the hallways of school or
running or wherever he goes.
Em: He's lanky but he has a pudgy
face? I suppose it's possible, but it seems
incongruous.
Attire:
Cosmo has constant colors within his closet: purple, gray, black, orange, and
white. He usually wears the baggy short-sleeve tops and the baggy pants with
sneakers everywhere he goes. It's his casual attire. It all depends on what
colors he decides to wear. Mostly Cosmo wears his favorite purple, baggy
short-sleeve shirt with a faded picture of Jimi Hendrix on the right side. On
the back of his shirt, there is a dove that fades in with the shirt, with the
words "Are You Experienced?" in classic Times Roman font in an orange color. His
second favorite shirt is an orange shirt with the word, "FREEBIRD" in purple
color plastered across his chest, with the words, "Lord knows I can't change,"
in purple color also plastered on the back. He always likes to wear the same
style of black cargo pants with a single white stripe on each side. When it
comes to shoes, he has only one pair of orange Sketchers sneakers with purple
shoelaces.
Voice: Cosmo's voice is a definate
alto, neither husky nor rough. It's smooth and mellow most of the time, except
when he starts talking really fast. Then he gets a speech impediment and barely
anyone can understand what he's saying. (Except for Claudio, his bro -- he has a
speech impediment 24/7.)
Overall: Well, Cosmo
is your definition of someone that looks like a radical idiot, yet when he
starts to speak, it contrasts with what he looks like. Basically, he lives up to
the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover."
Bloodtype:
O+
Gemstone: Garnet is his birthstone. It is a stone of health, assisting
one in changing their world with expansiveness in awareness and manifestation.
It also enhances internal fire. Garnet is also a stone of contentment,
reflecting the attributes of devotion and expressions of love. It also balances
and stimulates energies of development and movement. Amethyst is his favorite
gemstone. It represents divine connection, healing, balancing, wisdom, psychic,
and order. Cosmo loves amethyst's because of their deep purple color.
Likes:
Superhero Comics: Spiderman, Superman, Batman, Birdman,
Hawkman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, The Green Lantern, Flash -- alright, I think
you get the point. It is Cosmo's obsession. He loves to read and collect
superhero comics. They all have superpowers and fly and do it for RIGHTEOUSNESS!
No, he doesn't fantasize about being a respectable superhero that can have all
these cool powers and save the world from total destruction. Cosmo is realistic,
and knows that they are not real. Though he doesn't know why he has a lot of
interest into reading them. They just seem so interesting to
him!
Action-Packed Manga: Give him the guns and amo' manga anyday! From
Trigun to Cowboy Bebop to Noir to Ghosts in a Shell to Gundam Wing to Outlaw
Star, he loves the manga that have the coolest plotlines, the greatest music,
the memorable characters, and futuristic views of what will happen to humanity
in space.
Vessy: The point of Manga that it's comic
books, anime is the animated stuff or am I wrong? Okay. Now A) I don't beleive
Noir has a manga counterpart to the ANIME There are Dojins but they don't really
count. B) when did Manga's get soundtracks. If they are made into a show usually
they have a soundtrack, but I've never heard of a manga (standalone) with a
soundtrack. Manga's are comic books, Anime is the animation. Please use correct
terminology it's a pet peeve.
60's to 80's Rock Music: From the immortal Jimi Hendrix
to the freestyling Lynyrd Skynyrd to the amazing Carlos Santana to the defying
band KISS to the great guitar solo's of Metallica, he loves them all. Cosmo
loves rockin' out and mellowing down with this type of music.
Vessy: Okay let me get this straight. He
lives in ITALY, which is in EUROPE. But he listens to 60's/80's classic rock.
From America, specifically the UNITED STATES of america. Yet all he listens to... is american classic rock. Umm... *trips*
Oh right there's the logic right in front of me!
Changes: Cosmo loves changes in his surroundings. New
everything! Out with the old, in with the new. He throws away any type of
antique or junk and piles himself the newest things in fashion or apart of the
technologically advanced world today. Sometimes he'll change his room every
month and clean out all the old, useless stuff and give them to charity or
Goodwill.
Em: Hmmm... Many of the things he likes
are classics, and out of date, but he has to have everything new? Once
again, a radical split.
Non-Conformity: He loves being different
from the crowd. He loves standing out from the others and knowing that as they
laugh at him for his differency, he's laughing at them because they are all the
same. I mean, the hair? The outfit? The nosering? I think that's enough proof...
O.o
Vessy: Well he's certainly a prime
example of Non-conformists conforming to the popular trends or non-conformity.
*Translation* he's different, JUST like everybody else.
Dislikes:
Insane and Angst Comics: The Sandman and
Happy Noodle Boy are on his "Wall O' Shame" list of comic books. Cosmo is
irritated of the characters that are crudely drawn or the storylines that are
way too depressing for his tastes.
Magical Girl Manga: Please, don't get
Cosmo started on this subject. He despises the magical girl anime, even if he
adores the comics that have men running around in tights. Cosmo doesn't like the
girly and cuteness inside the anime's and the manga's that really turns him off.
Even if the girls look cute in short skirts and bubbly personalities, it just
gets Cosmo irritated.
Alternative and Punk Music: All Cosmo hears in
alternative and punk music is death, suicide, and all this angst and depression.
He can barely understand the words in punk music and he gets turned off by
alternative rock music.
Em: Quite the nonconformist, isn't
he?
Vessy: Actually most
punk music is quite articulate. As opposed to rap or whatever that really loud
music is where all they do is scream random stuff at the top of their lungs...
Loud? *shrugs* "punk music is death, suicide,
and all this angst and depression"... And what does everybody else sing about?
Oh right. Sex.
Routiens: Over and over and
over again, same ol', same ol'. Cosmo hates doing the same thing over and over
again, day in and day out every single solitary week. He gets really bored and
jaded with the entire thing.
Vessy: A) it's Routines, NOT
routiens. Spell check people spell check. B) and this kid wants to grow up to be
a lawyer? for who? the osbournes?
Conformity: Why be the same? Sure, it makes everything
orderly with no one creating new ideas to destory the perfectly created society.
It balances things out with what is wrong and what is false - a black and white
world. However, Cosmo hates being alike to everyone else. He hates being told
that what he wears or looks or his actions don't fit a certain "code" or
"degree" with anyone else. Who cares about everyone else? As long as he is
unique, he doesn't care.
Vessy: Okay putting a like in one section
and then putting the exact opposite of an item doesn't really count.
Hobbies:
Collecting Manga's and Comics: Ever since
his uncle influenced him, he has been collecting as many comics and manga's
Cosmo can get his hands on. He searches on the internet, haggles in shops, and
pleades with his uncle to get what he desires -- as many manga's and comics as
he can get.
Running: Ever since the incident with his dad cutting his
hair, Cosmo has had a passion for running. Running seems to put his troubles
away and make him feel clean and relaxed again.
Electric Guitar: The
minute Cosmo listened to a Hendrix tape, he's been hooked onto getting a guitar.
Since he was nine, he had been practicing as best as he could to get as good as
him. Now he can play just like him, but he thinks he can get better at
it.
Em: He can play guitar as well as
Hendrix? Quite an accomplishment
Vessy: and after only 5 or 6 years. Now
that's an accomplishment *cough cough*
Favorites:
Food:
Pepparoni Pizza
Song: Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd, cause Lord knows he
cannot change. ^_^
Em: Again... doesn't fit. There's a
dichotomy of can't change/need for change that isn't clicking. And does he
like anything european?
Vessy: no. apprently
all his interests lie on opposite sides of the
globe.
Colors: Purple and Orange, as if you haven't noticed
yet. XD
Artist: Jimi Hendrix. He is the God of Rock 'n' Roll. Do not try
to prove Cosmo wrong. He knows so much about Jimi Hendrix it's not even funny.
@_@
Band: Lynyrd Skynyrd. They are Cosmo's Gods. Do not try to prove him
wrong again. He knows everything about them and even has proof to back it up!
Book: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. This is mostly because Ray
Bradbury's look into the future of human society today is frightening realistic
for his own tastes. And he just happens to love Bradbury's Afterword and Coda in
the book.
Movie: Batman Returns. Mostly because it has Catwoman. (Rawr.
XD)
Least Favorites:
Food: Tuna. Cosmo is deeply allergic to
tuna-related foods or tuna itself. He'll break out in hives all over and itch
them they'll they bleed.
Song: "Last Resort" by Papa Roach. There is a
reason, out of all the rest of the alternative rock bands out there, that Cosmo
seems to just loathe this song. Cosmo dislikes the song because it talks about
"the last resort is to kill yourself," as he interpreted it.
Colors:
Pink, Yellow, and Green. He hates all those colors. They look really icky on
him. Pink is for girls, yellow is too prissy, and green is too mellow for his
tastes.
Vessy: Okay he thinks Pink is wussy, and
so he dies his hair purple. Is there something about him your not telling us?
*steps closer to closet door*
Artist: Kid Rock. All rap, no sense
at all in his lyrics. Cosmo can barely understand what he's saying half the
time...
Band: Linkin Park. Another depressing alternative band trying to
utilize the youth of today into buying into the angst crap in Cosmo's view.
Book: The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. Cosmo hates this
book because it has too much fanasty, cliché adventures, and boring characters.
Nothing original about it.
Em: Fantasy
Vessy: Original, Nah nothing except the
concept.
Movie: The Neverending Story. To Cosmo, it's the
never-ending nightmare of fanasty he just wants to puke right there on the
ground.
Em: Okay... It might be seriously cut
from the book, but Neverending Story rules.
Vessy: RUN! The never ending Fanasty is
coming to eat you! *please note the Spellcheck alert light has turned
on*
iration: To rid the world of scum and unfair beings and hold
the sword of RIGHTEOUSNESS to vanquish all that does evil and other not-so-good
shtuff!!! Yes, Cosmo wants to be a lawyer. What? You were expecting the next
Samuari Jack? XD
Em: That's non-conformist
alright
Vessy: Whats
Iration?
Personality:
Cosmo is an
open-minded, frank, ambitious, and fair person.
Em: Who thinks the majority of people are
stupid and wrong for conforming. Look at them and laugh, open-minded
boy
Socially he isn't what you think: this mentally-challenged
hyperactive, fanasty-island person. I mean, Cosmo is not seen on occasion
running around his house with a Batman or Spiderman suit on, flying from roof to
roof and portraying the character inside the comic book. Cosmo has this engima,
this aura that makes him a very interesting person to be around.
Em: Frank and open don't mesh with
"enigma"
With Cosmo, he
just doesn't trust people right off the bat. Cosmo judges people wisely, being
social yet reserved enough not to give out a lot of information about himself to
people he just met. He's never cold to people when he first meet them. He's more
of the type that is social-friendly, yet keeps in mind that there are sicko's
out in the world, and should keep some information to himself. It takes at least
a year for Cosmo to give out information about himself, his family, and other
things to his friends. And once a person gets to understand the depth of Cosmo's
personality, they are in for more than what they expected.
Frank, honest, and straight-forward, Cosmo doesn't hold anything
back.
Em: But he is an
enigma?
He has enough sense in his mind not to tell the whole truth,
giving a little white lies here and there on special occasions.
Em: But he doesn't hold anything
back?
He doesn't emit things that will hurt someone's feelings, nor
give them a sense of pride and cockiness that he or she is that damn good. He
gives compliments with comments and suggestions all the time, trying to improve
mistakes and helping people redo the math over again.
Ambitious and stubborn in his goals, Cosmo won't give up without a fight.
He believes in his own motto which he made up, "If you can't fix it, kick it
ti'll it works." He'll keep going until he can't breathe or is rendered
unconcious. He's the guy that won't skip the hard problem on the math test,
drilling his mind in and out for the correct answer, chewing his pencil in the
process. With that, Cosmo isn't gullible. He doesn't buy into farfetched things
at all. He needs to have proof right there and then, either video tape, voice
recorder, or black-and-white writing. Evidence is the key into making Cosmo
believing anything.
Open-minded and realistic,
Cosmo is approachable to any topic or question anyone has. Sometimes he has the
answer for it, sometimes he doesn't. (Hey, no one's perfect, ne?) However, to
make up that which he does not know, he gives advice and suggestions to a person
to figure out the question themselves or help them on their way to knowing the
answer. When it comes to Cosmo's aspirations, he isn't a idealist, he is a
pragmatist. Look at this, Cosmo loves the superhero's to death, right? Now the
thing with Cosmo is that he knows the thin line between reality and fanasty. He
just takes the superhero to a realistic stage -- being a lawyer.
With Cosmo, he gets stressed out easily over the simplest
things. He doesn't think things through when he's going through a lot of stress.
Slowly he starts to turn into a gloomy, vengeful person that doesn't care about
anyone. He then becomes pessimistic, depressed, and vindictive. If someone hurts
his feelings deeply, something horrible happening to his family, getting an F,
or other miscellaneous things, he'll stress out immediately. First he'll be very
melancholic, crying and screaming at others to leave him alone. After a couple
of hours, Cosmo is on the rampage. Cold, uncaring, selfish, adamant, and
extremely rancorous are the words to describe his personality when all on his
mind is why that person or even people did that to him if someone hurt his
feelings, or wondering why he didn't get an A if he got a bad grade, or
pondering to himself why this or that happened. Next, Cosmo will be so cooped up
in all his problems, he'll lace up his shoes tight and go for a run for three
hours. Finally, Cosmo becomes supremely determined to figure it out and asks the
questions of why this or that didn't work at all. And after that's settled, he's
back to his regular personality.
Em: Ummm... yeah. this would be the
"depths of personality" mentioned before? Once again, he has an almost
bipolar dichotomy. If he were Janus, perhaps...
Another fault
with Cosmo is that he is bored without difficulty. He'll start snoring or losing
his train of thought whenever he starts to get bored. People know when Cosmo
gets uninterested in anything is when he starts to doze off little by little
until he's snoring softly. He tends to do this in Chemistry class a lot, in
which the teacher gets a little annoyed, screams at him, "Mister Livellare!" and
Cosmo just jolts up and says, "What?!"
A common
trait to when Cosmo is either angry, bored, or just himself: he cannot
concentrate well. Even if he's running around or not, he just cannot focus his
mind clearly and concentrate. He must be completely calm inside his mind, not
caring about the things happening around him. That is the only time he would be
able to even think clearly and get things done right.
Adding to his way of not being able to concentrate, Cosmo is a little
igorant sometimes without himself knowing. Which is why sometimes he wants to
kick himself in the chin for making such a stupid mistake. Yes, the boy that you
thought was semi-perfect has FLAWS! (Duh duh da! The plot THICKENS. XD)
Sometimes he cares about too much about saying the wrong words, he says the
stupid words! The words that make him sound like an idiot, in which he wants to
hit himself for saying such a thing, but it gives him a cute edge cause he tries
so hard not to hurt someone else's feelings. He doesn't realize what he says
until after the conversation is over, and then he asks himself why he even said
that. You could even call Cosmo a perfectionist. However, he doesn't strive to
be absolutely perfect. He just tends to nit-pick his flaws more than
once.
So far, Cosmo has no clue he's the Soilder
of Justice, Justitia Knight. Mostly likely when he finds out he is one, he's
gonna be jumping up and down, saying he's gonna be the next Batman! XD But when
he finds out the girls are almost like the ones from the magical girl manga's,
he's probably gonna reconsider the job. However, if anyone can do some fancy
tatics, basically giving Cosmo some proof why he should join, then he will.
Though he's gonna have a hard time concentrating with the blindfold on the first
time around or so since he can't concentrate well. Later on he will get the hang
of it, but he's definately gonna be yelling in the beginning, "I can't see! I
can't see! I'm blind! ACK! My foot! Nurr..."
Overall Cosmo is an honest, impartial, ambitious, determined, stubborn and
open-minded person, who is cold, self-centered, depressed, and vengeful when
he's stressed and angry and bored easily and sometimes igorant of what the hell
he is saying half of the time and just can't concentrate well.
And never give Cosmo a mallet. He'll probably hit himself over the
head if he messes something up. XD
Em: Okay, he really really seems messed
up and self-contradictory to me, and I'm not really seeing the element of
courage/justice in here much.
History:
Born on the ground of Woodstock '69 while Jimi Hendrix was playing the
Star Spangled Banner...
Whoops, wrong
history. XD
Actually, Cosmo was born in St.
Tarcisius Hospital in room 17 on a crisp, mellow winter morning at 7:13 AM on
January 7th, straight after his father, Donatello Livellare, fell unconcious on
the floor from his mother's grasp, Julia Desiderio Livellare, to his neck during
labor. Cosmo had always been this determined, stubborn child since day one,
never stopping after four months to start crawling, and going day after day
after seven months of being born to start walking. At nine months he kept on
trying to fix his words correctly and when Cosmo was one year old, he started
fixing his sentences correctly.
Em: Which is about
double the speed of normal child development, isn't it?
His father didn't seem to mind the stubborness inside his
child, knowing that he would make a fine lawyer someday, conformed, classy, and
highly-educated. However, there would be one factor within Donatello's
plans.
That being his brother,
Wing.
Wing, his real name Porfirio, was the
opposite of what Donatello ever standed for. He was wild, unruly, and on the
flipside -- WAY on the flipside. Donatello tried his hardest to forbid Wing from
every introducing his son into his "ways of chaos." However, Donatello failed in
the end when he and his wife Julia had to leave the country for a while, since
it was their anniversary. And the only family member that lived only a couple
blocks away to take care of the four-year-old Cosmo was, you guessed it, Wing.
Reluctantly, Donatello handed young Cosmo over to Wing for one week. And after
one week, Cosmo was affected for life.
During
that amazing week, Cosmo was introduced to Wing's amazing and unique world.
Since Wing was a professional travelling journalist, he had picked up numerous
items from different countries. Most of them were music and comic book items
from all around the world. In order to keep Cosmo's mind busy, Wing gave Cosmo
all his comic books to read and music to listen. Cosmo, even at such a young age
of four, started reading all the items his uncle gave to him. He had a certain
dislike to the magical girl manga's from Japan, yet an obsession for the action
and mecha manga's. Cosmo also had a dislike to the insane and angst comics,
however had an addiction to the superhero comics of America. He kept on
imagining that he was going to become a great superhero like Batman and fall in
love with someone like Catwoman and live happily ever after. (Hey, the kid is
four years old, he has a right to dream!) Additionally, he got a craving to rock
music, specifically Wing's favorite type of music -- music from the 60's, 70's,
and 80's. It was then Cosmo decided that he wanted to play the guitar as well.
And, reluctantly, when Cosmo was nine, he was given a guitar by his father.
(Wing helped him pick it out since Donatello didn't have a clue about guitars
like Wing did.)
Without getting ahead,
Donatello was outraged when he found out his brother had "mentally challenged"
his son to the "brink of insanity." Taking charge, he tried to ween his son away
from his brother's influence. Donatello suceeded... somewhat. He had only
changed Cosmo's dream from fanatasy into reality. Cosmo had decided to change
from being a superhero, since it was too farfetched, to being a lawyer like his
dad. Satisfied, a little, Donatello gave up on his crusade to make his son a
conformed human being and tended to other things. Mainly one thing -- Cosmo's
new little brother, Claudio.
A year later,
when Cosmo was five, he gained a little brother, Claudio, who was born on June
12th. Cosmo felt pretty proud and responsible when Claudio was born. He was
given the duty to watch over Claudio when his parents were out. Besides,
Donatello would rather have Cosmo watch over Claudio than his brother. He didn't
want the same incident again. However, Donatello didn't have to worry about his
brother's influence on Claudio -- Claudio already had Wing's genes in him more
than his father. Claudio would touch and play with things that he first laid his
eyes on. After he was bored with it, he would move onto the next one. Cosmo had
one hell of a time trying to catch his brother. Claudio knew where to hide from
his brother, slipping away from his clutches everytime. This sibling rilvary
lasted for years between Claudio and Cosmo. Everyday Claudio would come up with
a new way to piss Cosmo off, and warfare would start. Somedays Claudio would
win, somedays Cosmo would win. And sometimes they would end up in a stalemate,
mostly because either their mother, father, or uncle would stop it.
Without getting ahead again, when Cosmo
started to age into a teenager, around thirteen years old, Cosmo gained a friend
from the school he was attending at the time, Romulous Public Jr. High School,
Nevio Orlando. The two were complete opposites on the personality spectrum, but
as the saying goes, opposites attract. Nevio became Cosmo's best friend, and the
two shared much time together. Though most of the time Nevio would stay on the
sidelines while Cosmo and Claudio engaged in sibling warfare. Additionally, at
this time Cosmo started to get a little annoyed at all the routines and
conformity his father Donatello was putting him through. It was always the same
thing. Do the chores in the morning, go to school, drop off your brother, come
home, pick up your brother, do the evening chores, play your guitar, do your
homework, go to sleep -- it was all annoying! Additionally, Cosmo was getting
really sick and tired of his father tried to conform him into another version of
himself. His mother Julia wouldn't help with anything, she always off in her own
world and barely noticed Cosmo, and even his younger brother Claudio.
Ultimately, Cosmo decided to take a stand by rebelling against his father's
wishes by going on a crusade of non-conformity.
The first stage of his crusade was dying his hair and eyebrows fushia.
Em: Well, at least that
answers that.
It took Cosmo a few hours for him to strip his hair and then
put in the new dye. His parents kept on asking him through the bathroom door if
he was alright, and he just kept on saying he was constipated and taking a nice,
long shower. After five hours of waiting, the first stage was complete. However,
the outcome wasn't what Cosmo expected. Instead of it turning entirely fushia,
it just worked it's way with his orange hair and added fushia stripes to it. It
didn't matter to Cosmo, as long as he didn't look the way he did before. His
result with his mother and father is exactly what he wanted -- to have them have
heartattacks. Well, theoretically speaking. When Cosmo came out of the bathroom,
Donatello was screaming his head off and Julia fainted to the floor, while his
brother liked the "new style" and for some reason or another, his Uncle Wing
waltzed into the room (like usual since he only lived across the street and
loved to annoy his big brother Donatello) and said for Cosmo just to make it
into a Jimi Hendrix afro, and then it'll be complete.
Donatello was already going to kill his son for dying his hair,
but Cosmo wasn't done yet. The second stage of his plan was to grow his hair out
from it's usual clean-cut sides. Since his hair grew fast (really fast), Cosmo
got the look of an 80's rocker within two weeks. Outraged, Donatello sneaked
into Cosmo's room one night and started snipping away the long locks of orange
and fushia hair. However, Cosmo heard the snippings from his dad's scicors,
sprang up, and fought against him. In the end, his hair ended up from
knee-length to the length he has now.
Em: So his hair grew to
KNEE LENGTH in two weeks? Ummm... good to know... yeah
Cosmo felt defeated against his dad, since he wanted to keep
it that way. Thus, Cosmo did the only thing that registered in his mind -- he
ran.
Cosmo bolted out the door of his
household and ran all the way to the outskirts of Rome. All Cosmo felt deep
inside is defeat, and he loathed it with a passion. Running, it seemed to Cosmo,
got rid of his depression. However, before the night was over and Cosmo stopped
running, Cosmo had an idea for the third and final stage of his plan of
non-conformity. Not even his dad could stop him!
Two years later, when Cosmo was fifteen, he took his brother Claudio and
his best friend Nevio downtown Rome to a local tatoo parlor, "Joker's Wild."
Nevio kept on telling Cosmo to turn around and go straight back home while
Claudio kept on telling Cosmo to go through it and give their dad a shock.
Claudio didn't have to tell Cosmo that, Cosmo already made his mind up.
Immediately once they walked in, Cosmo used Nevio to haggle his way into getting
what he wanted. After some tough barrels to overcome, Nevio was able to give
Cosmo what he wanted. Moments later, Cosmo emerged from the parlor with an item
that was sure to give his dad a heartattack, for real.
A brand new gold nosering.
Sure
enough, Donatello did have a heartattack... somewhat. Actually, he and Cosmo's
mother fainted onto the floor in total shock of what Cosmo did to his nose. The
next day, Cosmo was sentenced by his father to work at his firm in order to
repay back all the horror and torment he gave to him. Cosmo kept on saying no to
the offer, but his father said that if he worked for him, he could be a lawyer
someday, he took the job anyway. He hates, loathes, and just despises being his
father's secretary, but at least it's good pay and he gets work up the ranks to
be a lawyer someday.
Em: NO WAY. His father despises his
look, but has insisted he take a job at the law firm, as a secratary (and thus
being their first image)? And he just lets him keep the
style?
Vessy: yeah that doesn't sound very
plausible. Maybe filing paper work in a back room... or licking
envelopes...
Currently,
Cosmo is sixteen years old, and still work's at his dad's firm, "Simon and
Wolfe." He attends Romulous Public High School with his friend Nevio Orlando,
while his brother Claudio attends Romulous Public Jr. High School. Cosmo worked
with his running skills and became extremely fast with his speed. He also worked
on his guitar skills, and has improved greatly. He can now play Jimi Hendrix
solo's with ease. Cosmo and his brother Claudio still have their sibling wars,
and Nevio still hangs in the background, watching the two
fight.
NPCs:
Donatello Livellare:
Cosmo's highly-paid, respectable lawyer, boss, and father. Cosmo works with his
father in his firm, being his right-hand secretary. Cosmo hates the job, but at
least he can work up the ranks after he graduates college and passes the LSAT
and bar exam. Donatello is a control freak, wanting everything to be conformed
and on daily routiens. He has six foot, three height, a semi-lanky body,
washboard abs on his stomach, some muscle on his legs and arms, silver slick
hair, and a smooth, demanding voice.
Julia
Desiderio Livellare: Being a homemaker her entire life, she hasn't had much
influence under the two Livellare children. Julia mostly had her time busy in
her own world, rarely noticing her own children. She cooks, she cleans, she
washes -- she does the daily routiens of the house and doesn't complain one
single bit. She has long ash blonde hair down to her waist, electric green eyes,
hour-glass figure, small mouth, long narrow upturned nose, and elegant grace
whenever she walks and talks.
Claudio
Livellare: Cosmo's annoying, irritating, cunning, devious, and mischevious 11
year old little brother, his name meaning, "Lame Balance." To Cosmo, Claudio
seems to have no other purpose but to annoying his brother to the brink of
insanity! With green eyes, similar style of hair to his brother's, platnium
blonde hair, five feet, four height, and always seen wearing blue jeans, and
green short-sleeve tops and white sneakers, Claudio enjoys everything opposite
what he brother likes. Although Claudio gets on Cosmo's nerves 24/7, he has a
good heart when his brother is in need or in trouble. Though, most of the time,
he always has a little prank set up for his brother when he least expects it...
Nevio Orlando: A compromiser, modest, timid,
and an escapist, Nevio looks up to Cosmo somewhat, his name meaning, "Mole from
the Famous Land." Nevio isn't sure what he wants to become when he comes up, and
he rarely had any friends. Short beige colored hair, royal blue eyes, five foot,
three height, thick blue rimmed glasses, and always wearing blue shorts, a
sports watch, an X-large white T-Shirt saying, "I'm not short, just heightingly
challenged!" and regular silver sneakers. Until he met Cosmo and his mischevious
brother. Nevio is good friends with both, and stays on the sidelines when the
two brothers go against each other in "sibling warfare," mostly started by
Claudio. He finds amusement between the two and feels that he himself is a "lost
third brother," to the two, since he himself is an only child. When Cosmo is
mad, Nevio is usually the voice of reason to calm him down somewhat. And
whenever Nevio is scared to do something, Cosmo is the force that can give him
courage enough to do it. (Look at his special skills)
Porfirio "Wing" Livellare: Loud, optimistic, a travelling artist,
comic book and manga collector, annoys the hell out of his big brother
Donatello, and is Cosmo and Claudio's favorite (and only) uncle, Porfirio is the
embodiment of Donatello's opposite, his name meaning, "Purple Dye of Balance."
With the brighest orange hair anyone has seen, long down to his waist, tangled,
and extremely fuzzy, and berry colored eyes, it gives people that sense that
Porfirio is a guy on the flipside. Porfirio, or as he likes to be called,
"Wing," (in dedication to his favorite song "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix, his
absolutely favorite song) is always seen wearing something baggy, unusual, and
makes him really stand out from the crowd. Everyday it's a new look, and no one
knows what next Wing will wear. Wing lives across the street from his big
brother Donatello's house, and visits without warning. (He's got a copy of the
housekey.)
Part III: Senshi Information
Special Skills:
Sense of Courage: Though a miniscule skill
given to him by Justitia, Cosmo has a way to make people enhance their bravery
to the max during times of crisis. Whatever Cosmo says to people in times of
need will make them feel more powerful and brave to face whatever challenges
life might throw at them next. (Side Note: The idea came because Justitia was
apart of the Four Virtues, the others Prudence, Temperance, and Fortitude. I
took the turn into Fortitude for his special skill since Cosmo is already
cautious and impartial.)
Speed: With all the
running Cosmo does, he has a lot of speed. He can run extremely fast. In school,
he's the fastest runner. Barely anyone can catch up to the speed he has. Cosmo
hasn't met anyone yet that can run with him or even pass him.
Henshin
Item: A jewel colored in purple with his symbol in the center. Cosmo carries it
around as a pin on his shirt. All senshi use a fist sized jewel in their color
with their symbol in the center.
Transformation: The background is
colored all purple, as the song, "Purple Haze," by Jimi Hendrix starts up. Cosmo
is shown with a mischevious grin on his face, his item placed between his middle
finger and index finger on his right hand, slowly moving it in front of his
face. He twists around once, throwing his henshin item into the air, shouting,
"Justitia Deus Power!" The camera follows it twist upwards, then bursting in
midair when Cosmo says, "Power," purple glitter fluttering downwards. The
glitter then flies around Cosmo's entire body until he is engulfed in purple
energy. It bursts seconds later, leaving Cosmo in full uniform, with his right
hand on his hip, and the other one relaxed.
Em: And this relates to his element
how?
Color: Purple. It represents justice.
Symbol: The
infamous scales of Justice. Justice is most commonly portrayed in the U.S. as a
blindfolded woman carrying a sword and a set of scales.
Fuku/Costume:
Justitia Knight wears a standard Roman soilder's amor, with a purple tunic and
shorts, and black colored armor and boots. In the middle of his breastplate lies
his henshin item, with the design of engraved from the purest gold. And there's
one minor thing about Justitia. He wears a purple blindfold around his eyes.
When he finds out he's a soilder, he's gonna freak when he finds out he can't
see. He hates not knowing where he is! XD However, with the blindfold, he has
second sight so he won't trip and fall over and look like a big idiot.
Additionally, it sharpens his vision to the maximum so he can see farther away
than before. Besides updating his farsight vision to the max, there isn't
anything too big with the second sight. I mean, he can't sense someone miles
away. Just enough so he can find the enemy and other little things.
^_^;;
Powers/Attacks:
Binding Justice!
Justitia
Knight holds his right arm up, his hand flex and relaxed. A purple light starts
to glow from his fingertips, and seconds later he snatches it. Instantly, the
purple light forms into a long chain of purple energy. Quickly, Justitia swings
the chain around the top of his head about ten times. After three turns, the
chain of energy is glowing a brilliant purple light. At the fifth turn Justitia
says the word, "Binding..." and shouts the word, "Justice!" after the tenth
turn.
The purple chain lashes out for the desire amount of people. It
can hold up from a person to a large group of thousands and can latch around a
person for at least twenty minutes. It can be used for short range or long range
attacks. However, as powerful as this attack is, it has flaws. The attack
depends on Justitia himself. In the beginning when he finds out he is the
Soilder of Justice, he won't be able to even make the attack let alone hold it
for twenty minutes since he can't concentrate that well. After at least a couple
of battles (let's say five or ten, give or take), then Justitia will finally get
the hang of holding at maximum two to three people for five to ten minutes.
Additionally, Justitia does have a boney built of a body, so the attack is weak
against physically strong people. The chain is also made of pure energy, energy
as in his own strength, so it also depends on how much power Justitia can give
into the attack without rendering unconcious. Additionally, if the opponent or
opponents have fast reflexes, it is dodgeable. The attack can be done multiple
times until Justitia feels drained of power or has fainted from
exhaustion.
On a side note, this took me a while to think up, since I
didn't want to go into Dissy's powers and go into this Medusa thing in which
people get turned into stone. O.o Though that is a nifty idea, I thought it
would go into other people's areas for some weird reason or another. Then I got
thinking. As mentioned before, Justitia was one of the Four Virtues, the others
being Prudence, Fortitude, and Temperance. I looked up for the meanings of the
other three Virtues, finding out they are apart of Cosmo's personality and
Justitia's meaning. Additionally, I found others words that ment each
virtue.
prudence - carefulness, caution
temperance - restraint,
control, self-control
justice - honesty, impartial, fair
fortitude -
strength, courage
I decided to take a turn into "temperance," since one
of Cosmo's special skills that he received from Justitia is the power to give
people strength and courage, and Cosmo's already honest and careful (honest to
people and careful who to trust.)
Weapons: Currently, Justitia has no
weapons to aid him in battle. (Besides, in the beginning he's gonna be tripping
over his own shoelaces so he wouldn't need a weapon that he can't use or doesn't
even see.) In the future, maybe, he will aquire a sword. Yes, it is the oldest
cliché of weapons in the book. However, there is a reason to it. Justitia is
portrayed being seen with a set of scales and a sword. The scales ment jugding
and balance, the blindfold means justice is blind, and the sword ment
righteousness. The style of sword is a European long sword. The European long
sword ranges from four feet to five feet in length and can range stylisticly
from the classic barbarian broad sword with a width of three fingerwidths
(approximately two and one-half inches) and a gradual tapered tip, all the way
to the slender inch wide blade of the gentleman's long sword with its hard
forced triangular tip. Though the true long-sword was typically designated as a
single hand weapon, its hilt was quite often long enough to accomidate both
hands, making it better known as a hand-and-half weapon. The handle would be
entirely purple, with his symbol engraved in gold on the tip of the handle.
Intricate designs engraved in gold on the sword itself decorate it festively.
The sword would be called The Sword of Virtue or something else nifty enough to
not sound corny.
Guardian: If he didn't have the second sight from the
blindfold, he would have a seeing-eye dog... XD
Part IV: Miscellaneous
Information
Why you: Lemme see... cause Cosmo's cute, adoreable, and
right for the job? XD Oh wait, it's me... well... I'm a good RPGer, I don't
complain, I'm easy to take directions, and I love writing. A lot. Writing is one
of my main hobbies. And if there is anything, any NITPICK or a lot of screwed up
things about Cosmo, tell me and I shall fix it!
Miscellaneous: If you
want, you could consider adding Cosmo's father's firm, "Simon and Wolfe," to the
important places area of the site. You know, if anyone accidentally gets into a
car accident or wants to file a lawsuit or look up some files to search for a
certain missing person or whatever, they can come to Cosmo the Secretary! He'll
be able to weasel his way through the security blocks and search and find the
files. Umm... and if you want too, you can add the tatoo parlor, "Joker's Wild."
That's about it. ^_^;
Part V: The Writing Sample
For Cosmo
Livellare, it was a normal babysitting job.
Except the baby Cosmo was
watching over... wasn't a baby.
It was his sneaky, cunning, and devious
little brother named Claudio Livellare.
Nevio Orlando ate some popcorn
out of a blue plastic bowl as he watched the two Livellare brothers run around
the household of Uncle Wing's house. A small smile was plastered on his face as
he watched Claudio laughing and running wildly around the house in a circle,
while his big brother Cosmo was growling and screaming for him to settle down or
he would break his legs for good. Even if Cosmo was the fastest runner Nevio
ever knew, when it came to his brother Claudio, Claudio knew where to put in
traps in which Cosmo couldn't even catch him.
"Get back here, Claudio!"
Cosmo yelled to his brother, his face covered in the chocolate syrup and walnuts
that he fell in minutes ago. His shoes stuck to the ground like glue since he
stepped in gum, his body had blotches of flour, baking soda, and Tide detergent,
and soaking full in apple juice and lemonade as mineral water dripped from his
hair to the floor, with a stinky banana peel plopped on his head.
Claudio popped his head from the kitchen, holding a balloon filled with
orange juice this time, giving his big brother a smirk of mischeviousness, and a
devious glint in his green eyes. He moved his hand up and down, the balloon
jiggling. Quickly, he snapped his hand forward, and the balloon almost hit
Cosmo's face, instead hitting the picture of Jimi Hendrix on the wall. Cosmo
snapped his head around, and gave away a huge gasp at the sight, orange juice
falling from the frame onto the floor. A snarl curled up Cosmo's lips as Cosmo
turned his head around again, his right eye twitching in anger and
rage.
"Claudio..." Cosmo sneered deeply.
In which Claudio just
gave a smile of innocense and replied, "I'm an angel, Cozzy!"
"Angel my
foot!" Cosmo yelled, grabbing the banana peel on his head and throwing it at
Claudio's face, hitting directly on target. Slowly, Claudio wiped it off his
face, a look of determination matching his brother's plastered on his
face.
"Alright, in the words of the almighty Kid Rock,
'WAAAAAAARRRRRRR!'" shouted Claudio, throwing an apple peel at his big
brother.
Cosmo rolled his eyes, dodging the peel, exclaiming, "Kid Rock?
That is so lame! In the words of the immortal Jimi Hendrix, 'Scuse me while I
kiss the sky!'"
"That didn't even make sense, Cozzy!" Claudio yelled,
throwing vegetables that he found in Uncle Wing's trash can.
Dodging as
best as he could, Cosmo threw his own rotten foods while exclaiming, "At least
mine comes from a highly respectable musician of rock!"
"Oh, shut up!"
Claudio responded, as a rotten tomato splatted on his face.
As the two
brothers threw the rotten foods and various decaying items, Nevio kept on
munching on his popcorn, looking back and forth casually. He was used to this
already, being the bystander, referee, and compromiser when Uncle Wing gets home
and notices that everything is a mess. To Nevio, it was another ordinary Friday
night watching over Claudio while Cosmo's parents were having a night out
together. Not noticing the flying squash headed for his head, Nevio tilted his
head down and look at his watch, as the squah flew over his head and onto
Cosmo's shirt.
"Ah, it's 10:30," Nevio said, stuffing his mouth with
popcorn again, adding with a muffling voice, "that means Wing will get home soon
in ten seconds. Now what excuse this time..."
A door slammed open before
Nevio could even finish up his sentence. Cosmo and Claudio stopped their rampage
of the flying decaying foods, turning their heads around, and noticing who was
in the doorway. The person was holding a bag of comic books and manga's in his
hands, his hair all around the place, and a red tomato sliding off his face and
squishing onto the ground. Nevio, Cosmo, and Claudio all gulped at once while
looking at the face he had -- pure, annihilating anger.
And Claudio had
the audacity to smile and say, "Hi Uncle Wing! How are ya?"
After a few
seconds of silence, Wing dropped his bag and shouted, "What happened this
time?!"
Thus, brought Cosmo to close his eyes and sigh, "It's gonna be a
long night..."
------------------------------
Em:
Reject/Revise. In trying to accomodate so many traits, he has a fractured
nature, and doesn't seem to scream "Justice" to me. Some of the concepts
are okay, but the amalgam doesn't work in my mind.
Vessy: Overall not too bad. Some
parts were very non-meshy and I didn't get the picture of "justice" at
all. I don't see a rebelious glam rocker as
much of a justice type. He just doesn't scream it at all. He also seemed very
americanized... While well written it could definitly use a read through and a
spell check. I think to make this guy work alot of it needs to be thought
through again... Verdict: Revise of die!
Final Verdict: Reject Revise!
