Real name: Antonio Buonicelli
Fake name: Marco Arezzo
(This is not actually a fake ID… His documents show the name Antonio. “Marco” is just a cover he decided the use in Japan, just in case, since Kira’s on the loose. It’s not a very clever disguise, it’s just a precaution. He doesn’t even have a reason to fear Kira… At least, not yet).
Nationality: Italian
Occupation: Journalist. Sometimes, works with translations.
Age: 31
Religion: Catholic
Background: Antonio was just a teenager student back in Italy when Kira first showed up. At that point, he was a enthusiast of Kira’s cause, and he hoped one day he would help him somehow. But years past, he changed, and became increasingly less interested with Kira. When Kira disappeared, he was surprised he didn’t actually feel sad about it, so he moved on with his life, eventually becoming a journalist.
When he heard the rumors of Kira’s return, he was rather happy with it. Maybe part of him hoped to revive his old allegiance towards his cause, but what he really saw was an opportunity. Suddenly, in the Western world, there was a demand for news about this new Kira, and he could make his life out of a good story about him (or her). Who knows? Maybe a personal interview? Everyone can dream... He convinced his boss at a mild circulation journal in Rome that he could get this job done, and began his preparations to a long journey. His destiny: Japan.
Looks: 1m71 tall (about 5.5 feet, I guess), a bit chubby (he hopes to lose some weight in Japan, since he can’t stand Japanese food), he has short black hair with Caesar cut, and brown eyes. He’s rather handsome, but he doesn’t care much about his looks. He usually dresses jeans, dark shirts with long sleeves, maybe a suit coat if it’s cold, and dark shoes. He hates wearing ties.
Personality: Antonio (ops, Marco!) is slightly shy, and very determined – for some time. He usually shows a lot of enthusiasm at the begging of every project, but in time he loses interest, and end up abandoning it. He’s a failed writer, as he started writing 3 novels and never finished any of them. Maybe Kira will give him enough motivation to actually finish this job.
Skills: Marco is a natural linguist. He fluently speaks Italian (duh, of course…), English, German and Japanese (which he began learning when he was a Kira supporter, more than 10 years ago). He’s also a good writer, and can cook rather well, just enough for surviving. He has a terrible sense of direction, and he’s often lost.
Relations: His parents live in a small town near Rome. His older sister is a doctor in Rome, and she’s his main contact. He speaks to her on the phone at least once a week. Marco is single, and judging by his way of life, this hardly will change.
Quirks: - smokes, at least when he’s writing something, and when he’s nervous.
- hates Japanese food (good luck with that).
Relation with Kira: Marco doesn’t actually support Kira. In his view, he (she) is just another criminal, but since Kira gets rid of other criminals, “he’s OK to me”, he thinks. Marco wouldn’t feel sorry if Kira was arrested, at least not if he can get a good story from it.
