> HISTORY.
enzo's lived in the quiet town of hysteria for most of his life, his family goes back generations there & if he ever had to pick a place to call home, this would be it. memories line every corner for him, whether pleasant or otherwise, there's a bitter sweetness to it all.in highschool enzo would've been considered a jock by most, often found playing some sport or another & probably could've recieved a trophy just from the sheer amount of activities he participated in. his decisions however, were mediocre at best, often having to get dragged out of trouble by his sister afterwards.thankfully it was all minor things that could more or less be chalked up to foolish teenage behavior & rectified with his mother talking his ear off for two weeks afterwards.it wasn't until sustaining a sports injury senior year that his life seemed to be flipped, nothing was ever set in stone & although he liked to think he was adaptable, that was hardly the case when it came to adjusting to such a massive wrench in his future plans.he managed however, saying goodbye to the town of hysteria for several years while he moved in with his sister.enzo was restless to say the least, recovering & frustrated with his own in capabilities. it was more by chance than anything else that enzo stumbled upon the idea of becoming a firefighter. his sister had vaguely mentioned their great grandfather being one, digging through one of the boxes they'd never bothered to unpack before.he'd brushed off the comment at the time but it seemed to click & before he knew it he was studying fire-science & cringing at the toll it was taking on his bank account.just three years later, with an associates that soon turned into a bachelor's in fire science, a fire academy certificate & a lot of self turmoil, he returned to his home town with application in hand.& proceeded to be rejected multiple times for one reason or another until finally being hired.now, virtually a different person than his teenage counterpart, he's living in a small rental home in lexington with a roommate & several lovingly named & adored pets.
> EXTRA FACTS.
dad friend, will look after you while not looking after himself. wears dad caps & probably owns a pair of dad sandals.
all his pets are given punny names.
still has not totally unpacked from moving back two years ago, his room is filled with boxes and a bunch of mixed match decorations.
his injury is fully healed now & he still managed to pass all the fitness requirements for the fire academy but hasn't competitively done sports since nor does he have plans to in the future.
that one infuriating guy who gets up at 5 am to go on a morning run before work. probably actually eats breakfast most days.
that being said? still loves junk food, sweets are his weakness & a good way to bribe him.
most of his family lives like 15 minutes away from him now save for his sister.
hopeless romantic at heart, probably would set up cheesy dates straight out of romcoms. but he's also probably the most dense guy there is when it comes to admitting to his feelings.
definitely wasn't too excited about the show, he isn't all that fond of money making ploys in general & exploiting a quiet town & the residents there doesn't sit right with him.
the murders have him up in arms too, there's no doubt he believes they're real & someone is using this all as a cover up for their twisted amusement & own gain.
he'll go from calm to angry in like 0.5 seconds thinking about it, is pretty rational however when it comes to interacting with any threats.
> WANTED CONNECTIONS.
highschool sweethearts: self explanatory, these two were inseparable throughout highschool, probably were in the yearbook as the couple no one would ever expect to break up, maybe even prom royalty or something cute like that! broke up when / before enzo left to live with his sister for some reason or another.
sibling-like relationship: without his blood sister here to annoy, who else will he annoy?? teases them relentlessly but would go to the ends of the earth for them in a heart beat.
roommate: the person he lives with, they could get along or not, either way enzo's a pretty easy person to live with as long as they don't mind his pets & their cheesy names. he also will gladly capture & release any spiders in the house.
family friends: also self explanatory, their families might know each other, maybe they just know of each other. or maybe it was a lot more close than that! could've spent holidays with one another, etc.
competitive friends: might kill each other playing mario kart or switch games, get along usually unless they can possibly one up the other.
frenemies: they get along for show or gain.
drinking/party friends: only seem to get along when one of them isn't sober, alternatively maybe enzo ends up babysitting them & driving them home, etc.
childhood friends: he lived in hysteria for his entire childhood so! even if it's something simple like they were close in 3rd grade but not anymore, etc.
kept in contact: kept in contact online! maybe they had met online, in town or a different city originally but kept in contact!
more ideas: exes of any & all kinds, hookups / one night stands, friend with benefits, crushes past or present, almosts, best friends, work friends, maybe he helped them rescue a kitten out of a tree or keep running into each other everywhere, met on tinder/grindr/any dating app, went on a blind date once, friends of his sister or maybe an ex of his sister, someone that'll go to the gym / on runs with him, adventure friends + more!
