Rafael "Rafe" Guiterrez (With Friends Like These)
Name: Rafael "Rafe" Guttierez
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: Latino. Puerto Rican.
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance:
Personality: Rafe is a generally relaxed and easygoing individual, which usually means more active personalities easily rope him into doing what they want or taking advantage of his chill nature. While he can be seen as relatively loyal, he has an extremely dry-humored and sarcastic personality trait that can come across as the one outlet he has from his usually relaxed nature.
Outside of his friend group and in his professional life, he is a lot more serious, as he is a rookie prosecuting attorney in Chicago. While he's seen as just that, a rookie, he's seen as pretty mature among his peers in the law career, which comes across from his more serious slant on his usual chill personality. He's a social drinker and can often be seen at night hanging out at a pub for fun either with friends, his co-workers, or even just to meet new people.
While he's intelligent enough to recently graduate from Law School, he is a bit book dumb outside of Law (which he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of), especially when it comes to math or science. He also seems to be a few steps behind every one else when it comes to material possessions, still owning a silver flip-phone instead of a smartphone. He has an expired driver's license that he never remembers to renew, as he usually just uses the bus system or taxis in Chicago.
History: Rafe is the only child of a family of artists, both his mother and father being artists themselves (his mother being classically trained herself). Coming from a lower-middle class Puerto Rican family in an economy that was already starting to fail, during eighth grade, Rafe and the rest of the Guttierez family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where Rafe spent his last year of middle school, as well as his high school years, college years, and years in Law School.
Like his parents, Rafe originally wanted to be an artist. However, when he joined the football team during his freshman year of highschool, he ended up breaking his right wrist on the field, something that would keep him from becoming an artist like his parents and would keep him from becoming a football player either. Because of this, Rafe wasn't sure what he really wanted to do in life for a while. Going to college just to get his basics for the first two years, he started dating a college student and future law student, Tara. Upon looking into her career choice (although she wished to go into court as a defense lawyer), Rafe made the decision to look into law, quickly becoming hooked upon the idea of it and becoming almost obsessed with learning more and deciding to become a prosecutor (and hopefully judge later in life).
Rafe and Tara eventually broke it off sometime prior to them entering law school, due to Tara moving to New York, the two still texting each other pretty often and keeping up their friendship. Having graduated from law school, Rafe is currently working for the state of Illinois as a prosecutor, although due to his age and low-rung, he has only gotten very small things to work with outside of paperwork.
Other: He has an extreme fear of heights, which is usually the most unchill you'll find him outside of work or if he's upset with someone.
