Biography

His name was Alonzo Lombardi. With an italian background and cultural upbringing his temper was always fused and his native language would spew at the most random times. Growing up in a small town with a large italian family owning liquor stores and pizza joints throughout the east coast he considered himself a pretty big deal. Due to all the money his parents brought in from this business, he was fortunate enough to drive his father's Lamborghini to school and wherever he wanted to go. Even though all the girls he liked were clearly out of his league he decided to pursue them anyway, buying them extravagant gifts, paying for expensive meals, and driving them to the mall with their girlfriends. He never got the hint that girls never liked him for himself, and were just along for the glamorous ride.

Growing up his father was always away on important "business trips" but as he grew up he became more akin to the fact that his father was the head of the mafia, as he would leave stacks of bills laying around the house and watch secret security do yard work 24/7. His mother knew she could not let her baby boy come to this realization so she babied him until he was 18 years old. Whenever something went wrong -whether he stubbed his toe or got into trouble with the law-she would be there to comfort him with snacks and give him the best advice she could give to keep him happy.

Because he had been babied for so long and his true self was suppressed by the expectations of his father, he flaunts his money to become noticed and tries to buy his friendships and even love. He has become completely obsessed with one of the girls at his college and will stop at nothing to show his love and devotion to her happiness. Because all the people that attend his college come from different backgrounds and have variant personalities, he does not know how to fit in. Whenever he is around the football players he conforms to their attitudes about music, girls, and "the bros." When he is around the girls he hangs out with, he also conforms to their ways of life, and never misses an opportunity to carry a purse or offer the window seat. He knew he had some identity issues, but not nearly as elucidated as it became when he met his first real group of friends. Whenever he had a problem they would tell him to his face the veracity of the situation. When he was sad, they would cheer him up, and when his fuse went off they knew exactly how to calm him down. The last few months of his life have been filled with the joy of true friendships and the initiation of a careless attitude because he no longer has anything to prove, besides his self.
