personality:
if asked by his friends. they'd say that he's the most extrovert guy out there. he's viewed as the ideal "boyfriend" - that is, excluding his forgetfulness and clumsiness. adonis loves to explore a lot of things - which resulted to him having several hobbies and activities to do when bored. he may seem as a great guy but he secretly has lots of troubles deep inside. despite these troubles (to be elaborated in backstory,) he still makes sures to be a great guy to everyone.

likes:
he tried several things in highschool - arts, music, sports, academic-related works and whatsoever. though, music and sports were the only ones that captivated his heart. adonis loves to explore new places and things - the factor of him being broke was the only reason to why he hasn't travelled around the highs and depths of the earth.

dislikes:
adonis hates nothing except false rumors about him. since he's considerably a popular and fun folk to be with, rumors about these and that have spiraled and even threatened his good reputation amongst his classmates in highschool. if it weren't for his friends, he would've been looked upon with the wrong reasons now.
aside from this, he hates gender stereotypes. he genuinely hated the fact that society had to put some stupid norms for males and females to specifically follow. adonis have been, shamelessly, in several pride marches and never hesitates to say "get lost!" to homophobes.

backstory:
born from a middle-class family, his family of five went to america to find more opportunities and blessings. they moved there when adonis was 11. at first, people teased and mocked him for his race and skin. he took this as a challenge and did his best to become very likeable by everyone - learning different interests of his peers just to fit in. he was slowly then became likeable by people. growing up, he swore to god to take care of his two younger brothers - esequiel and alvaro, and ensure that those two wouldn't have to deal with some stupid racism. having a front as a great boy, he had a vulnerable side that always wished to be taken care of - which he ignores a lot, fearing that being vulnerable will drive away all the friends and popularity that he worked on. academically, he was doing what an average student would result to despite having to work two side jobs at the time to support the family.
he is in the middle class. he doesn't have his own car. only his trusty bike.
if a genie ever appeared, his three wishes would consist of: giving his family more than enough money, good education for esequiel and alvaro, and a house for milo (the last one was pretty much a joke but he'd do anything for his dog.)
