"My mom loved the name Giovanni and since I was the last kid she gave birth to, she just went with a what-the-hell attitude. Dad was salty, which is why my middle name is his name. Only my family gets away with calling me by my middle name or even Nikki. Anyone else might wake up the next day with a black eye and no memory of when I even swung. Most don't even try, though, cuz they settle with calling me Gio and a host of other nicknames. Only those who know me for my music and what I do on a switchboard call me Lux. De Luca is one of the most common Italian American last names we could have and while a few classmates might have stories about their origins and all that, all I can say is that that is my last name and I'm perfectly fine with that. To be honest, the fact that it has a "De" makes me feel just a touch special and shit, but we all know that really isn't the case.

I don't know what's better - being the first of the star signs, the Ram, or being the greatest April Fool's prank my mom ever got. I wasn't due for a good five days, but when I said I was ready, I was fucking ready. Mamma wasn't and to this day, she's still salty over being in the hospital and giving birth when she thought she had at least one more day after she had been admitted. In regards to more delicate matters, I've had only one girlfriend in my life and before anyone says it, no, there was no trauma. I didn't never get over her and she wasn't the one that got away. It's just that once we were done, I knew that I was ready to be free and do as I pleased with whomever I pleased. While some guys' masculinity is so damn fragile that even stepping over the straight and narrow line leaves them puffing their chest and shit, I've become the next leap frog, hopped my ass on over that line, and I must say - the grass is pretty damn green on both sides. I like sex, anyway that I can get it. It's a part of my lifestyle. Party. Drink. Fuck. And bullshit. All in that order. And if that happened to have landed me as an Animal at Buckley, then so be it. No other place I'd rather be. We stay turnt and that's all I really want at this point. That and money. Can never have enough money."

Fashion Sense
Gio is the stereotypical boy. He likes a simple and relaxed style, which is why the majority of the brands in his closet consist of Volcom, True Religion, Polo, American Eagle, Young & Reckless and Obey. There are some things he isn't pressed about and fashion brands are only one of many. As long as Gio has clean threads on his skin with the occasional addition of watches or snapbacks, he's good.

Whole Body Maintenance
While Gio could never call himself much of a health buff or even really as much of an athlete as the jocks at Buckley, the one thing he does to stay fit is swim. If he isn't hosting or at a party somewhere, he's more than likely at the beach surfing, swimming, or doing absolutely any and everything that he can in the water. That is how he stays active - that and the occasional game of street basketball he plays with his friends. He definitely doesn't have a great diet, but his grandfather make sure that he eats his vegetables and it isn't like Gio is high all of the time. He cares about his body, knows that it is by his looks that he gets away with half of the things that he does, and he also doesn't want to wind up losing his attractiveness with age. Being the most buff dude on the block also isn't his prerogative, either.

Special Skills

Strengths
Regardless of outside negative opinions, the one thing that honestly cannot be denied is the fact that Giovanni De Luca is one guy who knows how to have a good time and knows how to make you have a good time. You can critique a lot of things about him, but no one has ever been invited to one of Gio's party without walking away absolutely exhausted and sated. He's not one of the most lied Animals at The Buckley School for nothing, after all. While reckless and with various moments that would make you want to pull your hair out in frustration at his seeming endless energy, he's a performer at heart and whether it's in a prank or when he's mixing tracks for an event, know that he's the kind of guy you can be entertained by. What most, however, fail to remember is that for all his seeming carelessness and even childishness, Gio does have a wicked tongue on him and is a manipulative, seductive little shit who can be obstinate about getting what he wants. It also helps that he's the one guy with some of the best connects (ie. the best clubs to go to for the weekend, the best person to find the most potent strain of weed or any drugs really, music, etc.).

Weaknesses
It is very safe and well, the smartest thing you can do - assuming that Giovanni is one shameless motherfucker because he is. Is he smart? Yes, professors have stated that several times and if he would show as much passion to the courses that actually matter as opposed to only computer science and music, Gio would probably have higher than his 3.13333333. But any natural talent and intelligence he might possess can be ignored in the face of him being a very hedonistic individual. He's always seeking out his own gratification and pleasure and has no qualms about it. He wants you? You're going to know about it? Wants you and your little friend? Will weasel his way into your head and veins until you've believed the idea was yours and then you're waking up from a threesome from the night before with him and your bestest best friend in the bed with you. More than that, it always seems like there's no off switch to Giovanni, particularly when he's off his meds. Which is a regular occurrence. For instance, sure he knows how to chill out and play video games or just hang out with friends, but because Gio has a tendency to not take his meds, he's jumpier than normal. There's a difference between his usually being able to get down with the get-down, and then him being off his meds, unable to sit down for long, irritable, always needing to move, and rambling. It can be annoying and unless you have that kind of firm voice and kind smile that could lure him into taking his meds or at least chill out, it's easy to assume that Gio is nothing more than an overactive fucker who needs a gag. Which he'll more than make a sexual joke about if you spoke the thought aloud.

Mental or Behavioral Disabilities
"My mom likes to act like she's not a cocky little shit, but the simple fact of the matter was that we didn't really need some ancient lookin' psychiatrist to tell us I had ADHD. My mom had already known. You just needed that doctor for all the paperwork and prescription shit. So, the simple truth of the matter is that when people ask if I'm on meds or some shit cuz I'm jumpier than the motherfucking Easter Bunny, well shit, they're not exactly wrong. Not gonna lie and say I take my shit every day cuz the truth of the matter is that I don't. Weed solves everything. And when it doesn't, well, then I might feel slightly more inclined to pop a few pills."

Greatest Fears
Not ever having a concrete plan for his future || Disappointing his family || Being seen as a freak for needing his medication || Clowns

Priorities
"Party. Drink. Fuck. And bullshit. No matter how many times I repeat this, people think I'm joking but I'm dead ass serious. These are the main things that I'm thinking of and ready to get done. That and graduate. I mean, I talk big shit but can't no one tell me they can fade my mama smacking them in the back of their head."

The one thing that needs to be acknowledged and accepted first, above all things, is that Gio isn't everybody's favorite cup of tea once off of a stage or away from a turn table. While some might find that others find them hard to deal with and want to change some aspect of themselves in order to please those other individuals, Giovanni has discovered this fact, laughs very boisterously in your face about it, and then revels in it. He warns in advance and makes no excuses about it - he can be a lot to handle. While he is not one of those people who believes that life is a complete joke, he also isn't one to find every little thing as serious. He's carefree in that sense. His life is his life and while he won't say that he's grown up with the most golden of spoons in his mouth, he has acknowledged that he grew up with the privilege to not actually give a flying fuck about other people and their expectations. People are going to spend your entire life nitpicking the different parts of you that they either like or don't like, he has already surmised. And the one thing he is not going to do is waste his time trying to conform, fix himself or even try to please anyone. So, if it happens that his rapid-fire, quick-witted and sarcastic self has rubbed you the wrong way, unless Gio genuinely feels as though he might have insulted you or truly hurt your feelings, expect not a single fuck to be given. He's shameless, after all.

While being such a free-thinking and vivacious individual is always a good thing, the reason that not many can truly say they completely hate him but also that they don't completely love him is that Gio never knows when to stop. Or, it would appear that way. Another thing that needs to be taken into account is that while he does have a tendency to lean towards being reckless and daring in that every day is an adventure he should not hesitate to take, Giovanni has a devil-may-care attitude combined with the fact that he is far more calculated than people give him credit for. Classmates and certain staff members tend to forget that this is the smart young man - both book-wise and street-wise - who could have been classified as a nerd, and cursed any forced classifications to hell if he didn't get to pick for himself. He's not stupid. While Gio likes to say that he just does shit on the drop of a dime and doesn't give a care in the world, what it is is that he doesn't always act without thinking. He just likes seeming that way and he's human; of course he has his impulsive moments. It wouldn't be truly Gio without them and trust - he can be incredibly impulsive. They just don't dominate his every-day. Again, he knows people are going to always have something to say, so why not be the one who controls whatever the say, to some extent? So, if he happens to get detention today because his perceptive self read the living daylights out of his professor and in his typically blunt manner called him or her out on it in the middle of class, at least he can say that people saying whatever they plan to say about him is of his own volition, and not their own. In a twisted way, he controls people's perceptions of him and he likes that kind of power. It's fun, heady and he's always looking to push the realms of what is acceptable. Like going to class high and seeing what's going to happen. Not that that's particularly a good thing since well, he has a habit of annoying people. Then again, from Gio's perspective, antagonizing a professor and getting sent to the hallway for it is a lot better than getting caught in the middle of sex, which is one of his favorite pastimes. Plus, in that transcribed scenario, he's only stopping for one of them.

Others might speculate that Giovanni has had a bad home life or blame his tendency to stay away from commitment due to a previous heartbreak. The truth of the matter is that he has always been detached and just a touch enigmatic. Teenagers go through a phase where their parents and the adults around them find them hard to read for awhile, partly due to their emotions just being haywire as they try to discover themselves. This is not a phase - this is a way of life for Gio. He loves his parents deeply, even if it seems that he is accepting their affection without being as open in his emotions as they are. It's just how he is, simple as that. He's just not one of those freely emotion-giving people. He's not afraid or anything of that nature of relationships. He just has a deeper love for sex without strings and relations without commitments. There's no sugarcoating around it and nothing to read into. That's just the way that he is and considering most people hop into his bed knowing exactly what they're getting into, he feels no need to apologize later when they had some underlying expectations. That sounds like a very personal fucking problem that could be solved by the other person while Gio finds the next person to smash. At the end of the day, despite his seeming abhorrence towards commitment and depending on everyone else due to his independent streak, Gio knows a thing or two about loyalty and no one would ever have to worry about him being theirs - whether as a friend or lover. One, they would have to actually convince him or be some kind of a person to make him theirs. Two, they just need to accept that he likes his freedom as well, and his occasional signs of being flirtatious. After all, he's a complete package. You just can't accept one part of him and not like the other. And people can try, but they always leave dissatisfied. And the only one they have to blame for that is themselves.

History
Despite a lot of people (save for those Lifer students Gio has been close to or has known since they all came to Buckley as little tikes) thinking that Gio's childhood had to obviously consist of something to make him the way that he is now, that is actually not the case. The most traumatic part of his childhood was his sister dying and even then, it hurt. It's still a wound that has not officially healed yet considering Antonia's name was the first word he ever uttered, but it wasn't traumatizing as it was life-affirming. As it was revitalizing. There's a host of words to be used for that instance, but the truth of the matter is that his childhood barely serves as an excuse for why he had become an Animal or anything else that others would deems as faults within his character. He was born when his mother was still trying to get her Ph.D and his father had already had his own, so he had come into a life of relative wealth already. He was born into a content family. Two girls already dominated the household and with baby Gio as the final installment into a rather close-knit family, he had provided the balance his older brother, Christian, swore they lacked. Giovanni doesn't really remember too much of his much, much younger years other than what he would call "bomb ass" piggy-back rides with his father when he was home and excuses to bake with his mother, but there's no denying from the photos how much his older siblings, particularly Sienna and Chris, antagonized him. They did what normal older brothers and sisters did; teasing him for staying under their mother, stealing snacks, playing pranks, etc. It wasn't out of disdain or anything as there was no denying the love in photos where Chris has a protective arm around Giovanni or Sienna is smothering a Gio that's trying to run away. But there was no denying that the one he had grown exceptionally close with was Antonia. Which was why her loss really did something for the remainder of that year after his twelfth birthday.

During his earlier years of Buckley, being this hyperactive kid who couldn't focus for too long and would always be reprimanded left him unable to shake the clique of the Troublemakers and luckily, at the time, he had preferred that to being a Misfit. But his excessive energy and inability to calm down prompted Christian to introduce Gio to weed, which helped, to an extent. But pissed off both of their parents, who would later deduce that Giovanni was probably suffering from ADHD and needed medication. But none of that - to this day - meant that anyone should have disregarded Antonia's lingering depression or taken her word for face value. She had had a perpetual sense of solemnity since her fiancee's death that not even the birth of her son had been able to alleviate, which was why Gio had spent so much time with her during the pregnancy. And while he had known that something was off, her death still struck him. Not just because he felt a guilt that everyone was focusing on his antics and his health, and not her own, but because mortality had struck him. At the time, he had never considered the possibility of a life of music as a career, had even considered being like his parents in getting a career in the medical field. But Antonia's death, with the lingering reminder of her supporting his extensive love for music and being able to enjoy himself while entertaining others, had prompted a different Gio to emerge in the face of his high school years. Not different in the sense that friends didn't recognize him, but in the sense that there was a surety about his decision. He wouldn't be just some trouble making kid who put on a show, but someone who enjoyed his life in the way that Antonia could not. And it landed him th role of Animal when he got to high school and Gio has yet to regret that.

|| The Parents ||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|| Nicola De Luca ~ Father || Alessandra De Luca (nee. Pianese) ~ Mother ||

"With as much shit as I get into and how much I'm always saying I'm grounded but never really act like it, none of that says anything about me not being close with my parents. So, idk how the fuck anyone got that in their heads, but it's the furthest from the truth. Yeah, my mom is the strictest but considering how much I call her my boo and my baby love in public, I think it's safe to say that I'm not always as in trouble with her as she acts. Like, yeah she hammers shit down, gets hella pissed when she knows I'm smoking weed, but it's not like she's really done anything to stop me. Hell, I've been more independent than my siblings in that I've been making money for DJing for the last two years. And my Dad is the best. People think he's serious or some shit cuz of the glasses and top notch orthopedic surgeon, but he's a fucking troll. Who else do I get my shit from?"

|| The Grandparent(s) ||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|| Luigi De Luca ~ Paternal Grandfather || Carmen De Luca (Deceased) ~ Paternal Grandmother ||

"No one can tell me that I'm not proud of my parents and if they try, they gonna have to square up because it's not everyday that you have two highly respect surgeons as parents. Not every kid has that luxury. At the same time, one of Toni's issues and one that I have, even though I don't say shit, is the fact that their jobs keep them away. Dad's always working and mom's always giving lectures at UCLA, and so neither of them are really home save for holidays and the occasional surprise on the weekend. Which meant that Grams and Pops were always the ones I turned to. Grams died earlier this year and Pops is quiet about it, but you can tell he misses her. I'm not for all that sentimental shit, but I can't even lie - Grams was his other half. I loved both of my grandparents and Pops gives me that little disappointed head shake bullshit, but there's nothing but love here."

|| The Siblings ||
--------------------------------------------------------------
|| Antonia Lombardi (nee. De Luca) (Deceased) ~ Eldest Sister || Sienna De Luca ~ Older Sister || Christian De Luca ~ Older Brother ||

"It's not really a secret that I'm close with my siblings. Everyone knows that if Lux Lyfe is acting a fool on Snapchat with an older woman and man, nine times out of ten, it's probably with my sister Sienna and my bro Chris. Growing up, I looked up to them. Which was funny cuz mom swears they made my life miserable before I was ever able to talk. From what my mom says, they used to mess with me for no damn reason and I'd always cry and shit to Antonia or her. If it wasn't Christian eating the last of the fruit snacks but making me think there was more just to see my ass whining like a little bitch, it was Sienna having me thinking I'm bouta be late for school at like midnight cuz that was how tired I was only to find out that it was the weekend and she was just playing games. You'd think that I would've resented both of these fuckers for their bullshit, but they always came back to make sure I was cool and Sienna bakes apology brownies, so all's good on that. I'm a fuck-up, sure, and I know people think I don't care about a lot of shit, which is the truth, but I love my siblings. Which is why Antonia's still a sore subject.

She...she killed herself the day after my birthday. I had just turned twelve. Should've known something was up. She made these cookie brownies from scratch and brought them to school for me cuz we weren't having the party until Saturday at the beach and she wanted me to celebrate. Told me I could hold on to her dog tags from mom's dad for her cuz she had something to do. I never really got to see her body or anything. All I know is that when I woke up the next day, Dad was telling me that I wasn't going to school and that Tony had gone off with God. My dumb ass was like 'What, she went to visit? Who drove her?' A psychiatrist said that that was my version of denying what happened, but I'll never forget how final it felt when they lowered her coffin in the ground. Shit still fucks me up to this day cuz she had to have been depressed for a long time. We all knew she hadn't been the same cuz her fiance died overseas when he enlisted, but we never knew it was that bad. Mostly cuz everyone was focused on my ADHD and getting me right. She'd still be alive if I had gotten my shit together back then. Which is why, as much as I know not many people expect much from me, I make sure I keep Jim-Jam loved and shit. He's six now and he's all I got left of her."

Short Term Goals
For right now, he just wants to graduate high school. School isn't his thing. It's not something Gio is passionate about and so his shortest term goal - considering the fact that for all the shit he's gotten into, the one thing he hasn't fucked up is his grades - is just to make it across the stage. He's a jokester from time to time, but he doesn't want to be the joke by making it to the finish line but not crossing over.

Long Term Goals
As much as Gio tries to act lax and unbothered by the serious things in life, it isn't like he hasn't pondered on his future. He has good enough grades to get into a college and it's not like he doesn't know he has a place at UCLA. He's never really planned on leaving California unless he really has to, so one of his goals is simply to get into college and focus on audio engineering. With the experience he already has in producing and tracks and such for his part-time career as a DJ, he's pretty confident that courses aren't going to be difficult. After that, it's simply to make his adult life fun. He doesn't want to eventually become one of those adults who figures that they can't have real fun after they hit a certain age, and so his only other long term goal is to make memories he can carry into his old age.

Aspirations
Giovanni plans on becoming an internationally known DJ. It's been one of his dreams since freshmen year ended and he realized how much he loved hyping up crowds as opposed to singing. He's definitely still into singing and writing his own songs, but there's nothing quite like being able to be as turnt with the crowd with each track you slip into it, adding various sounds and effects to keep the party going. That's what Gio wants.

Lifer Status
"There's this thing about being a Lifer student. It's different. You can come from the middle of bumfuck Missippi and be chill with a bunch of people, but it still don't mean a thing. Doesn't compare to being a Lifer. Maybe it's the hype, maybe its cuz I'll never have to worry about being anything less than a Lifer. Idk, idk, idk."

Scholarship or Not?
"I am a scholarship student, always have been. And yeah, I might drive a few teachers up the wall, but I ain't tryna die. My mom will KILL me if I ever lose this scholarship. No scholarship means no Buckley. No Buckley means an early grave and I'm talking as early as yesterday."
