Likes:

Movies
He loved watching movies ever since he was a child. His favorite genres are action and comedy, but he wouldn't mind a bit of romance, suspense, and horror once in a while. He rarely gets scared though. He loves movies involving spies and crimes the most.

Performing Arts
Singing, dancing, acting -- he is born for the spotlight. At the moment, he is trying to learn how to play the classical guitar.

Capoeira
When he was younger, he took lessons in Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art. As a student, he currently bears the yellow belt.

Swimming
He is fond of going to the beach or the pool. He considers swimming one of his many stress reliefs. He can hold his breath for a reasonable amount of time.

Photography
Ever since he received his digital SLR, he has developed a fondness for photography. He is self-taught, mostly from the photography books he buys for himself, and loves going to scenic places to take pictures, but if given the opportunity, he'll take pictures of a lot of girls. He has an eye for beauty.

Dislikes:

Travelling
He used to move around the world with his family because of work, so he has been to a lot of places, but most of their travels involve going to Brazil or back to Italy. Leaving friends, moving when he just got settled, having to adjust to the new languages and cultures, he is forced to develop a faster adaptability than others. He finds this inconvenient. Travelling is fun for him for a few day's vacation though.

Weapons
He does not mind handling them or looking at them, but weapons generally remind him of his father's line of work, and the kind of life that he is forced to lead.

Difficult Girls
Waste of time. Not enough patience. Won't even bother with these.

Exotic Food
Being exposed to many different cuisines, most of the time, he plays it safe and eats "normal" food. Though when it comes to cuisine, he has faith in his mother's cooking which is a perfect marriage of Italian and Brazilian cooking.

Commitments
Due to his family's constant moving, he developed issues with "getting settled". He feels that at some point in time, he has to move away again, and because of this, he tended to stray away from relationships. He doesn't believe in long distance relationships. He is more focused on the present than the future. But if his "princess" does come by his way, who knows how far he will go for her?

Weapon: Leather Gloves

Sturdy and made with high quality faux leather. He hates getting his hands dirty in battle.

Cellphone Evoker: Nokia Lumia, with a wand keychain.

He is very dependent on his cellphone's mobile internet feature. With the advancement of modern technology, cellphones now lets its users access the Internet from anywhere. He connects with his friends from all over the world with it.

The keychain is a freebie from one of the limited edition movie DVDs he bought awhile back. Most likely Harry Potter.

Persona: 

Slenderman

Slender Man (a.k.a Slenderman) is a mythical creature often depicted as a tall, thin figure wearing a black suit and a blank face. According to the legend, he can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back.

History: 

Born to Filippo and Liberta Ferrenzo, Firenze hails from a long line of blacksmiths who developed and managed a family business in smithing and metalwork that still exists today. His father specifically works for the entertainment industry, accepting jobs and tasks all over the world, making weapons, armor, and other metallic pieces for many movies and theater performances, aside from creating replicas of ancient weaponry for collectors and enthusiasts. This job allowed them to travel the world and live in many different places, though he found himself thrown back and forth from Brazil, his mother's home country and Italy, his father's home country. He took pre-school in Italy, grade school in Brazil, and middle school in Italy.

He is an average student, achieving high marks just enough to let him pass his subjects in flying colors, though he showed exemplary talent in performing. Singing, dancing, acting, he likes them all, though much to his father's dismay, as Firenze showed no interest in taking over the family business, which gives him a slightly strained relationship with his father. His mother worked to bridge the gap between them, though. Clearly, Firenze had his own plans.

A referral by an old and faithful client gave the Ferrenzos an opportunity to travel to Tokyo, with his father taking part in a big project for a historical movie. Scouring for a fitting school for their son, his parents came across Higashimori High School in Kirimori City, which were friendly to both local and international students. While his parents were unsure with the idea of having him study in a school far from where they will be, Firenze happily accepted the offer, seeing it as a chance to exercise his individualism without the direct influence of his parents over him.

Trivia:

He heard of Capoeira when he was in Brazil, but he took his formal lessons in Italy. He tends to forget some moves, so he improvises, and managed to create his own style, which appears more like a dance than anything fit for battle.

His main languages are Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, English, and conversational Japanese. Having moved around did teach him a few words from other languages but barely enough to make coherent sentences. He is heavily dependent on language dictionaries and self-study guides, as he tends to forget the languages he barely gets to use. He tends to code-switch sometimes.

He has a driver's license, but his father has yet to give him his own car.

Depending on the people he is with, he goes from casual to heavy drinker, but he can handle his alcohol fairly well. He also loves attending parties.

His childhood friend during one grade school year in Brazil is Ashley Alencar.

Heavily dependent on social networking sites like Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook. He has a laptop, a desktop, and a smartphone.

He dislikes curfew, so instead of staying in the dorms, he chose to live by himself in an apartment.

He likes looking good at all times to raise his self-confidence, so he takes the time to dress up properly and feel good about himself. He dislikes looking like a slob, especially in front of ladies he tries to impress.

The name 'Firenze' is a derivative name for the city of Florence. His name was supposed to be 'Fiorenzo', until his parents could not make up their mind with the spelling and ended up with Firenze in his birth certificate. Stuck with it since.

He has a wide collection of movie DVDs as much as his father loved collecting swords and weaponry and his mother with jewelry and handbags.

He secretly wants a younger sister, but too late for that now...

He is on the lookout for any part-time jobs that could help him with his intended career. Modelling, acting, photography -- name it, he'll do it, for a handsome price, of course.

His favorite food involve creamy desserts. Pudding, panna cotta, chocolate mousse, creme brulèe, and many others. He dreams of making the Japanese 'Giga Puddi'. Pucchin!

Despite his dislike for weapons, he does know a thing or two because of the things his father explains to him while being forced to stay with him in the workshop.
