Marco Moretti
About
A tireless optimist who believes that no problem is too clogged to fix. He approaches danger with a "Yahoo!" attitude and an unshakeable moral compass. Though he looks like an average worker, his athleticism and heart make him a true hero of the city.
Personality
Energetic, brave, and incredibly friendly. He makes friends wherever he goes and treats strangers like family. He is action-oriented and rarely plans ahead, preferring to improvise.
Backstory
Born in Brooklyn to a large immigrant family, Marco grew up understanding the value of hard work and plumbing. While he runs a humble family business with his taller, anxious younger brother, Marco secretly moonlights as an urban search and rescue volunteer. He has a knack for navigating underground tunnels and leaping across dangerous gaps to help those in need.
Education
Certified Master Plumber and completed advanced Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) training.
Achievements
Awarded the City Medal of Valor for a daring sewer rescue during the Great Flood and holds the district record for fastest obstacle course completion.
Skills
Expert plumbing, parkour/free-running, mechanical repair, and close-quarters combat (brawling style).
Hobbies
Go-kart mechanics, exploring abandoned subway lines, and cooking massive dinners for his neighbors.
Life Goals
To protect his neighborhood from gentrification, keep the city's infrastructure running, and finally win the annual Go-Kart Grand Prix.
Fears
Ghosts (he is terrified of haunted houses) and the idea of his brother getting hurt.
Core Values
Family, Bravery, Hard Work, and Pasta.
Inspirations
His grandfather, Harry Houdini, and anyone who stands up to bullies.
Political Leanings
Community-focused. He supports labor unions and small businesses, disliking large corporations that try to take over the little guys.
Religion & Philosophy
Catholic, though he mostly goes for the community and the bingo nights.
Sense of Humor
Slapstick and wholesome. He loves a good pun, especially if it relates to pasta or pipes.
Daily Habits
Twirls his mustache when thinking, exclaims "Mamma Mia!" when surprised (unironically), and jumps over turnstiles instead of walking through them.
