Description EDIT AS OF PROBABLY MID TO LATE 2017 MANNY NO LONGER BELONGS TO THAT GROUP THAT SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED NOR IS HE A MAGICAL MAN PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR HIS NEW UPDATE

***As of 9/20/15 I have updated this sheet with the following: added Lupus and Deneb to the relationships section, added a new tattoo on him, added why his tattoos don't show up (he covers them up with makeup but they do exist and will eventually be shown) And yes the two people added have given their consent**

**09/28/15 update Added Volans to the acquaintances part. Changed bilingual to polygot, added French and Haitian Creole, added Manny being Dominican-Haitian (meant to do that since the beginning)

In this task, we want to see your character in their civilian, Earth form, before learning they are a senshi. What is their life like, what kind of person are they? You can tell us about the place they live, their job, or their family if you like!

Blurbs: Wow this took forever and a day mostly out of pure laziness and the fact that the tablet's pen got lost at a friend's house and hiddengardenia bought a new one for us (I share a computer with cosmicmoths ) but it got apparently stolen in the mail or who knows, so we got a replacement and well to make a long and boring story short, this silly little drawing took forever to do because as stated above I got real lazy and frustrated. This drawing is actually a redo of one I had already nearing completed but ending up hating it so much. :'^). But I'm pretty content with the results. Oh by the way I half assed the shading here (I always flat colour) it's a pitifully decent attempt and hopefully next time will be better!

Current Residence: Miami, Florida
Birthplace: Santo Domingo de Guzman, Dominican Republic


Personality: Manolo tends to be calm and collected always keeping things and people at arm's length since the age 
of 18, Manolo became a solitary person letting in very few people. Currently however he has decided to let people in his life 
though they are few in numbers. When angered he has two forms of rage; calm, quiet fury or boiling and boisterous rage. He 
is mostly inclined towards calm fury rather than out right boiling rage. While Manolo appears to be stoic and in a constant state 
of grump he is actually very loving and sweet almost to the point where any outsider of his social circle sees his sweet side 
as uncharacteristic. He approaches all situations with cold, tactical logic making him appear to be disinterested or aloof in 
social relationships. When Manolo loves a person whether platonically or amorously it's passionate in a way that isn't too 
overbearing, but he likes making it known once in a while to a companion or a lover that he will be there to lend a hand or 
protect them. When he hates or dislikes a person it's with an equal amount of passion he will remind that should they slip up 
he will not hesitate to put his blade to their throat. giant grumpy teddy bear. He is a very patient and 
determined man who rarely backs down from any fight or argument. He's not a hard man to befriend it just takes a while to earn his trust and loyalty.

Likes: Outdoor activities, Swimming, working out, his day job,  Roller skating in Miami Beach, drinking contests (indulges in them once in a while), his friends, people who keep their noses out of other people's business, coffee in the morning, dogs and horses, leather jackets, and dancing.
Dislikes: Empaths/telepaths, tacky outfits, people touching others without their consent (be forewarned if he catches anybody touching anyone without their consent he will gladly break some fingers, he however doesn't mind being touched without his consent), cops (both because of modern time events and his work),  the silence, invasion of privacy, tea, and petty people
Likely Activities on a day off?: Swimming at the beach, hanging out with his friends, drinking beer with friends, can be found at the clubs during some weekends, and likes to go watch movies

Ooooo, how would you feel if Tauro/Carnation (Cari) gave Manny a tattoo? ^__^ I'm sure they'd get along just fine, even if they never got super close I'm sure they'd have a great respect for each other. Tauro will be friends with Re-Pyper 's Tele (cuz she's so adorable!)

So sorry for the late reply!! ;w; been busy.

He'd totally be okay with Cari giving him a tattoo since he's looking to get a back piece done. They can get to know each other in the future if you're okay with it though no pressure. In the meantime they can have a great respect for each other. Just a question what part of Spain is she from? :0

Those are awesome choices! It took me a little bit to decide... and thanks to your help Cari (and her brother Romeo) will call Pamplona home, or at least their home-town.

Damn he's looking awesome!! That red is such a great colour for him!

And lol frenemies. XD I just love the idea of Lan and him starting off as the Cop/Lawyer "ugh it's YOU again, quit making my job harder" type thing. But after finally having to work together because of The Lady totally developing a bro-bond (if you wanna swing that way too of course!). Even before the summoning, Lan would have totally backed him in a fight if it was needed. Though Manolo is a total badass on his own. lol I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him!

Thank you! I'm so glad I went with the red instead of the blue.

Oh no that sounds great!! Like they meet one day on Earth and they're both like "Oh God it's him, the one making my job difficult." Then they meet up in the CW and it's like "I can't believe this! You're here too?!?!" And back on Earth there's times where they have to work together and afterwards Manny and Lan are like hesitantly thanking each other. I was actually planning to draw them arm wrestling and leaving the winner ambiguous and that's how they ended up bonding together and being better bros.

SailorAlcyone In reply to MorningStarLily [2015-10-01 19:11:50 +0000 UTC]

Haha totally! Manolo might have seen Lan around with Yari and Stella quite often too. XD He and Yari had a thing for a while. Manny must have been THRILLED when Lan went MIA for a year because of a crazy girlfriend stalker. XD But after being forced to work together so often, I can see them slowly realizing the other isn't so bad, it's just the job that sucks lol Each of them getting to know how the other fights, finding out how similar they actually are at the core and developing a tandem fighting style together (after a bit of a rocky patch where one is trying to upstage the other XD ) and then after a few times when they've taken turns saving the other, finally grudgingly admitting that the other guy is "all right" and actually kinda cool.  lol

I now have a headcanon where these two get to be awesome bros and Manolo secretly teachs Lan and Griffe and Barus and Les how to sexy dance and then they all go BAM MAGIC MIKE (Magic Manolo?) on everyone. XDDD

I would die happy to see that. *^* Even if it just stays headcanon for girly giggling reasons XD

*nosebleeds just thinking about it*

MorningStarLily In reply to SailorAlcyone [2015-10-07 05:21:29 +0000 UTC]

He probably was lmao! It might have been mostly out of slight jealousy or the fact that Manny always silently judged Lan, though depending on the year and age Manny might have just been mourning his wife. I ship YarLan so hard NGL! They're just so cute and I adore their dynamic so much. ;u; I headcanon them eventually begrudgingly getting along but just keep up the appearance of rivals on the job outside of it they totally go out for beers on occasion or Manny brings Lan coffee or doughnuts to his work. Manolo would totally tank for Lan if asked or maybe fight alongside him after finding a fighting style that works for them, they would totally upstage each other and then knowing trade smirks. I can imagine them keeping count of how many times they saved each other's asses from doom lol!

I totally support and encourage this headcanon and would totally love to see art of this *winkwonk* Manolo would teach Lan, Griffe and Les but not Barus because iirc he's underage (but he may once he's 18), lol Magic Manny and Co. Hey, hottie needs backup dancers so why not xDDD

SailorAlcyone In reply to MorningStarLily [2015-11-02 19:43:53 +0000 UTC]

late reply is late! Been so busy with work and planning my wedding XD

BUT FFFSSSSyessss so much all this!! Lan moved to Miami when he was 21 (which he pretty much met Yari within that first year, they were rival senshi for a bit, trying to beat each other to the baddies XD), and I think he and Manny are the same age so it would be a fair while after the unfortunate incident with Manny's wife. TT^TT (if he heard about that he'd feel so bad and that might be one of the kickers that stops Lan from being a total ass to him in the beginning...new found respect for him sorta thing).  I adore Yar/Lan too lol just unfortunate Yari couldn't get past her insecurities with that relationship but it's probably better for them both this way. lol Lan's still close enough to take care of her without her feeling suffocated and she can still take care of him without feeling obligated. He'll always love her. *3*

And yesss, I can totally see them after the first couple of years of doing the same thing Yari and Lan did when they first met, finally settling their differences. I love the idea of them pretending to be rivals at work whenever they had to cross paths there. XD good natured joking and insults to keep up appearances and all XD If Manny was a late worker Lan would totally bring him take out occasionally. He works night shifts so it'd be "on his way and not a big deal" to him XD

Once they each learned each other's fighting styles too, I could see them developing a very fluid combo style. Taking turns on the offensive. And yessssss keeping tally of who saves who hahahaha I love it!

MorningStarLily In reply to SailorAlcyone [2015-11-24 11:24:18 +0000 UTC]

late reply 2x combo lol! Congrats on getting hitched!!

I actually think all the CS's in Miami would be fighting for territory and the monsters of the day (week) but then they kind of eventually savvy up and decided whoever can get to them faster. Because work and life can get in the way of fighting baddies plus it gives them time to cooperate and figure things out between each other and not only one person has to bear the burden. Yes, Manny and Lan are both the same age (: (thankfully the information of him being a widow and the death of his wife isn't available to anyone, that and it isn't something he talks about freely or openly. The only one in existence aside from his family who definitely has knowledge is his roommate Stella/Puppis, because they've been living together for 10 or 11 years.)

Yeah, it makes me sad to know Yari couldn't get past her insecurities and the baggage she carries, but I'm a sucker for unrequited love and deep friendships. So it's a win/win for me lol. I think it's cute that they still look after each other regardless ´o`, and sweeter still that Lan will always love her!


I think it'd be a pretty long time before they eventually settle their differences lmao, maybe during their time on the CW they finally sit down and just settle the "score" between them. (Note to self: draw them settling the score) Manny is definitely a late worker! If he's doing the night job guaranteed he's coming back home by 3am or later if it's the day job, he still works late because he tries to get as much research done and other stuff. Lol!! Lan is definitely welcomed to swing by during late nights and bring him take out and bum around the office for a while. Maybe not the strip club because Manny's just going mercilessly tease Lan about it probably something along the lines about how the white boy couldn't move his hips to save his life or dance and do tricks on the pole. Oh, Manny xDD

Agreed!! their fighting style would be pretty fluid. Especially if they're both on the offensive that'd be some massive damage caused. Or one on defense and the other on offence. I'd like to see that happen :0 (with given consent ofc)
