Description

Fortunato has a stiff, ascetic face that rarely changes expression. His eyes are dark and deep-set and tend half-lidded unless he finds something engaging. His skin is on the tanned side of pale, but in bright light looks paler from contrast. His frame is slight, his posture upright, and he has a way of walking that looks like drifting, drifting from step to step to step.

Personality

Fortunato is a strange mix of aloof and distractible, dedicated and fickle. An artist by trade and by passion, he struggles to finish both commissions and personal projects. Halfway through an outdoor painting, he'll notice a bird with a deformed leg and drop everything to sketch it. He is fascinated by all things unexpected and unknown, and his drive to see, experience, and discover makes it difficult for him to focus enough to actually make money. That he has no talent for managing the expectations of his patrons, or flattering their egos, doesn't help.

Background

Fortunato has always been a watcher and a sketcher, although the compulsive drawing was less charming on the household walls. And compulsive curiosity is not always charming when it involves prying into the kind of everday secrets adults keep from children. But Fortunato survived childhood and his artistic skill got him an apprenticeship quite early. That he then learned what he thought he could from his mentor and promptly struck out on his own may be a factor in being less than financially successful. His interests are many and he dabbles in other crafts as the whim takes him. In a sense, he's a creature of odd jobs. They're just high-falutin' odd jobs.
