Frank's father, Filippo, had immigrated to Brooklyn from Italy at the end of World War 2. Since then, the Martello family has owned a small bar in downtown Brooklyn, their apartment above it. It was never a glamorous life, but the children got everything they needed. It was Frank's intention to one day pass the bar over to one of his children, but no amount of persuasion could convince them, as they all had their individual dreams, which he respected. Isaac was the black sheep of the family. He was rarely sociable with others, unlike his older siblings, and he was always out up to no good. Despite this, he was an academic. Yes, he smoked pot. Yes, he hung out with criminals. But he also hit top grades on all his subjects through school. Being the most intelligent member of his family, Isaac made it to college with ease. He could have gone anywhere, but decided to take up an engineering cause at Massachusetts Tech. Everything went down the drain for Isaac two years ago, however. After a heated situation, Isaac ended up breaking someone's cheekbone in a fight. A couple of months later he was slapped with a 12 months in prison, and, of course, he was kicked out of college. He served several months and was released, taking up a job at a local mechanic. He hasn't spoke to his family since he was charged with assault, mostly because of a large argument he had with his eldest brother, Luke. When everything happened, Isaac was in Boston. He was lucky that he lived in the outskirts as he was given enough time to escape before the roads clogged up. Right away he headed for New York to find his family, despite the fact he hadn't spoken to them for two years. By the time he got there it was a death-trap, so he was forced to leave, deciding instead to search for Luke, who he knew was in Pennsylvania. It took a lot longer than he thought, and he got stuck with a group outside of New York for several months before continuing his venture through Philadelphia, before he eventually found his brother.[/indent] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [indent]At first glance, Isaac seems like an ass. He's confrontational. This is more of a survival tactic than anything else. He is a very guarded person. He's lived in a world straight out of a horror movie for the past 300 days, so he has to be. He doesn't trust people easily, but if you do make the transition from 'acquaintance' to 'friend' with Isaac, a lot changes. He is open and extremely loyal. He'd defend a friend with everything he has - he'd take a bullet, if he had to, in some cases. He enjoys a good conversation, and he likes to help his friends. Their issues are his issues. Most of the time, with people he doesn't really know, however, Isaac is a lot more hesitant to talk. When on the road, Isaac is usually very cool, calm and collected. He doesn't overcomplicate of the situation, and focuses on the task at hand, rarely making conversation. This is in a run of the mill mission. If something is personal, though... Isaac is a lot different. He can be a loose cannon - extremely stubborn and rash, often making poor decisions.[/indent] [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] [indent]Isaac is about six feet tall and has a slim, athletic body frame. His hair is dark brown in colour, and medium in length. He tends to wear a hat over it. He usually has stubble growing on his face but shaves every now and then, if he can. His eyes are grey. He has slightly tan skin due to his Italian heritage. He usually wears fairly casual, fashionable clothes, shirts, jeans and other clothing of that ilk.[/indent] [b][u]Strengths:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*]Smart. He can think, lead, if he needs to. Intelligence is one of his strong suits - he has a mathematical brain, meaning he understands structure and can plan things better than most. He also understands people. [*]Able. He's one of the group that can be very effective in battles. He knows how to shoot a gun, and he's a pretty good fighter.[/list][/indent] [b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*]Even though he seems like an ass, he'd risk his own life for others. [*]His loyalty could get him killed. If he trusts someone, they can manipulate him. [*]He's rash and stubborn. Some of his decisions could get him killed.[/list][/indent] [b][u]Former Occupation:[/u][/b] [indent]Mechanic. Formerly studying engineering at college.[/indent] [b][u]Family:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*][b]Frank Martello[/b]. 55. Father. Unknown. (Bar Owner) [*][b]Lisa Martello.[/b] 52. Mother. Unknown.
