FULL NAME: Reese Lyle Kantino.
NICKNAMES: Reese, please.
AGE: Twenty-two.
BIRTHDATE: October 14th.
GENDER: Boy.
SEXUALITY: Straight.
OCCUPATION/GROUP: Actor.
CANON OR ORIGINAL: Original.
PLAYBY: Nick Santino.
BODY TYPE: It's pretty rare to find such a tall seventeen year old with flaming hair, a few freckles, and tons of tattoos. It's not hard at all to distinguish who's who in a group of Reese's friends. He sticks out like a sore thumb in most every crowd, and he likes it that way.
HAIR: Naturally a burnt red-orange in color. If he's in a hurry, he'll just gel the back a tiny bit to make it look like put some effort into his look that day. Usually, though, it's just combed through and swept to the side.
EYES: A little larger than average in size, but a light olive green in color.
CLOTHING: Pretty simple. He doesn't really like to get too dressed up, and sticks to the basics of comfort. Skinny jeans have recently been added to the soft spot in his heart, right next to moccasins and cotton v-neck shirts. He sticks to brighter colors, and it's not uncommon to see him sporting a pair of ray-ban sunglasses, or a fedora hat. He also likes to wear anything people give him, so the bracelets and necklaces he usually has on are gifts.
LIKES: The sun, warm weather, heavy thunderstorms, parties, going out, country music, camping, soccer, baseball.
DISLIKES: Shopping, sleeping, bright colors, winter, snow, scary movies, the sight of blood.
HABITS: Cracking his knuckles, chewing ice, reading in the dark, and contradicting himself.
STRENGTHS: He rarely lies, and he's very good at noticing when people avoid the truth. He's extremely intelligent in the book-sense, and if you need to know a random trivia fact, or how to solve a calculus problem, he's the man to come to. He's got a wide background of musical career as well as a new acting one, so he knows how to handle many different kinds of people, and he won't change his ways for them.
WEAKNESSES: A donkey. He's an ass, and he's stubborn. It's his way or the highway, unless you're a girl, or a close friend. He also refuses to drop a subject until he has 'won' the conversation. He's very competitve.
SECRETS: He really doesn't understand that he's not the center of the universe. And, if it matters, chick flicks are sort of his favorite movie. And even less monumental, he's got a guilty pleasure for county music.
FEARS: Frogs, big forests, large bodies of water, and snakes.
PERSONALITY: Well, for starters, he's a total hypocrite. There's nothing more that Reese hates than a high-maintenance person, when in all reality, that's what he is. Sure, he likes the outdoors and camping and all, but if he's not the center of attention, he's not too happy. Lately, he's been trying to make some changes, but it hasn't really been working out for the better. Another shortcoming to his usually likable personality involves his quick wit.
Unfortunately, Reese is extremely intelligent. He's learned how to say and do things to appeal to people's natures, but often times, he'll let something slip and it'll land him in trouble. He's book-smart, but lacks common sense. That being said, he's not afraid to speak his mind when he's got a clear head. If there's ever a poster-child for the expression 'Think Before You Speak' saying, than Reese could be the opposite role model. Honestly, he's a total spit fire. He finds himself saying hurtful things which he never means, which makes him look like a total asshole. Then, there comes that window of apology, and Reese never takes that journey. His high amount of self-pride doesn't allow him to say sorry, and he ends up trashing relationships or friendships because of it, if it gets really heated.
Most of the time, he finds himself either fighting or making up with little space in between. Typically, he's reluctant to hang out with anyone inside of the acting buisness for too long. He likes to explore his options, which doesn't always work out when it comes to a trusting, committed, and loyal relationship.
If you can look past that, though, it's pretty easy to tell that Reese can be a fun guy. He's got a quirky sense of humor, and really does enjoy making people laugh if it's possible. He has it in his nature to take care of himself before others, but once he's satisfied, he'll make sure that everyone else is too. But that’s only if he likes you. He's got a bit of a bad rep so far, since his relationship record is hacked up and hashed over. He's not exactly a drama king, but like his previously mentioned antics, he acts on impulse. His caring and sweet nature can dissolve in the matter of an instant if somebody challenges him or his integrity. And, most often, that's his girlfriend or close friend. He sees that he has to defend himself, and won't shut his big mouth once he gets his point across. He's got the words 'Love Is All We Need' tattooed over his torso, but lately, it doesn't seem like he's been living up to that motto.
MOTHER: Linda, who is fifty-two years old, and an interior designer. She and Reese get along for the most part, but the distance just makes things a little hard to stay in touch. They talk on the phone, but it's obvious that Reese's actions have really hurt her heart, and she disapproves of his every move.
FATHER: Lyle Santino, who is fifty-four, and a bank CEO. He used to get along pretty well with Reese, since they both enjoyed being outside. They bonded pretty well over those classic fishing and camping trips, but they aren't in touch anymore.
SIBLINGS: Anamaria, who is twenty-three years old. Also, Alexis, who is twenty. Both are students at the University of Arizona.
PETS: A miniature bulldog, Hershey.
HISTORY: Snowflake, Arizona. Reese was born as the only boy in the Kantino family, being constantly put into first-place in front of his two older sisters. He was the boy who actually tried hard in school and did well, but had no idea of what he was going to do after his education ended. Despite that, he put his best effort into his schoolwork, as well as his manners and spirituality. His parents were strict Catholics, and even in the one-hundred degree weather of Arizona, he made sure to wear his Sunday best at the church every week.
As a reward for his respect and prioritized values, (at the time), he basically was allowed to do whatever he wanted, and got whatever he craved - even though his family didn't completely have the money to pay for it. His sisters didn't complain or care because they rarely knew about the split treatment, because they were rarely home. They had friends of their own, and with their age span, and boyfriends, jobs, sports, and college applications, there was no real time to complain about it. Reese couldn't have been happier. His high-end clothing (provided in exchange for the consistent straight A's on a report card) were a tad conservative, from a guy’s perspective. It wasn't until a party after finals in his sophomore year that he was called out for his totally ‘boring,’ ‘safe’ behavior, and reserved ways.
Now that grades weren't something Reese couldn't use to bargain with his parents, he went with the current of peer pressure. He listened to the streamlined statement of rebellion, due to his hometown boredom, and that's exactly what he did.
In a very juvenile, fight-against-everything fit of angst and shocking suddenness, Reese got tattooed, and traded in slacks for skinny jeans. Needless to say, he didn't exactly get a warm welcome back at the Kantino household, so he was booted into the streets, with nothing but his school record and little-to-none acting experience on his back.
Reese took his car and drove off with a group of his best friends. Probably the stupidest decision possible, but not exactly a concern of his at the time. He honestly had no idea where he was going. And, being the stubborn fool he is, he refused to ask anyone for help. Eventually, he found his way to Los Angeles California, where he decided to enroll into a small high school that specialized in an acting program. None of his friends wanted to continue on with schooling, and they went off to start a band without their ex-lead singer and guitarist, Reese. Slightly heartbroken by that, he decided to switch over to an academy instead of a musical career. Perhaps an unlikely match-up, but he was actually pretty content with his new surroundings, and the fact that it didn’t meddle with his exceptional work at school.
He learned to trust the people around him for the most part, and so he decided to stick with them. Although things are rough around the edges, he can’t bring himself to quit completely, and intends to keep on living life as it is now for as long as possible. It’s sad, though, that a boy raised on such good morals would just drop everything on a dime for the sake of having a good time.
