character profile

Adriano Vale

"People think silence means emptiness. But mine's full of stories I don't feel like telling."

Age: 25

Birthplace: Unknown – somewhere on the outskirts of Milan, Italy🌒

Backstory: Adriano doesn't remember his parents. He was too young when they left him—dropped off at an orphanage as a toddler, without explanation or trace. His real surname was never known, never recorded. On the papers, there was only a first name: Adriano, written in rushed handwriting.

The surname "Vale" was given to him by the director of the orphanage. It came from an old, half-torn Latin book found in the orphanage's dusty attic. "Vale" — meaning "farewell" or "be strong" — seemed fitting for a child left behind. The name stuck, and Adriano never changed it. It was the only thing truly his.

🧠 Personality:

Quiet but never unsure. He speaks when needed, and his words tend to carry weight.Street-smart, emotionally observant, and unshakably loyal to the few people he lets close.Sharp-eyed—he can spot a lie, a hidden flaw, or a valuable detail in seconds.

Doesn't crave money, but respects its power. He likes working with his hands, building and repairing, bringing broken things back to life.

Independent, almost to a fault. He has no desire to belong to any system that could one day abandon him again.

Marco Benedetti

Age: 23

Background: Born and raised in Milan. Comes from a respectable middle-class family. His father is a senior manager at Banca di Milano and wants Marco to follow in his polished, secure footsteps.

🧠 Personality:

Low-key cowardly when it comes to real risk. He talks big—"Let's open a rooftop bar!" "Let's invest in scooters!"—but he gets cold feet when things get serious. Deep down, he fears disappointing his family but also fears being trapped.

What drives him: He wants excitement, recognition, money—but on his terms. Not his dad's 9-to-5, not his cousin's safe law firm job. He wants to feel alive, even if he doesn't quite know how to do that yet. Think: schemes, side hustles, and sometimes chasing the wrong crowd for the right kind of thrill.
