APPEARANCE: Enzo is a medium build young man in appearance, caramel colored skin with dark hair that is typically spiked in a sort of blow out on the top of his head. His eyes are dark pools that seem to draw the other in as they fully express his emotions. As does the handsome face with it's strong jaw covered in five oclock shadow and full of expressions. He is not one to hide what he is thinking, all one has to do is look at him, though nine times out of ten that full mouth is in a smirk. Enzo leans toward casual clothing, v-necks, tees, jeans, light jackets..
ยป PERSONALITY: What would happen if you put a vampire in a cage, fed him just enough blood to sustain him and experimented on him for seventy years? Enzo is what would happen, you would take a creature with a thirst for life and things like long drives in the sun with this girl or that one. You would morph him into a being with a thirst for life, revenge and blood. You would break him.
And Enzo is broken, alone for so long, while he is a soldier at heart and able to maintain his calm, something in him gave. He embraced darkness fully and has no qualms about being in his own words, a murderous vampire. A disregard for human life one can assume comes from being their personal lab rat for so long. He revels in his baser nature, enjoys his drink quite a bit and has a sharp tongue with a sort of twisted sense of humor. However, there is more to Enzo than the broken crazy vampire who would sooner bleed a human than make friends with them.
He is not bad, he does not see himself that way, he is what he is but he also knows a part of him was good all along. That part of him enables Enzo to love, deeply, obsessively really. Everything with him at times can be a little extreme, not much middle ground despite his actual rather calm demeanor (All his cracks stay inside, usually...) Enzo has not had many people in his life, not since he was put in that cage, there were only two Maggie James, a human woman who worked for his captors. Enzo loved her, she loved him. He loved her enough to let her go rather than turn her and escape with her. He'd rather endure his torture knowing she was living a full life on the outside, marriage, children, even as it broke his heart. He held on to that, held on to his love for her and knowing that one day before her human years ended he would find a way to thank her for her kindness, for reminding him that he was not just a monster, not just a lab rat.
Then there was Damon another vampire who spent five years enduring the same tortures that Enzo did, who was his first and in the end his only friend. For Enzo, who knew Maggie would die, Damon was truly all he had and thus, he attached to him with a ferocity that ended up creating a bond Enzo could not even break when Damon abandoned him, when Damon was the one who killed Maggie. It showed that even hurt and broken, when Enzo loves someone he does not give them up. The only way he was able to turn his back on Damon in the end was to turn off his humanity. If he had even one shred of feeling he could not withstand the thought of doing so. While he broke that bond, in the end it returned. He set aside his pain and his love for his friend won out.
Enzo is found of the saying calmer heads will always prevail and for the most part he lives by that moral. Even in the midst of murdering, being tortured, being kidnapped, even in his anger there is always this level of calm, this level of calculation to Enzo. A tactical mind set with a keen intelligence that round him out to be a complicated man, of course, he's a vampire so that is expected. He has a great fondness for revenge, from plotting it to carrying it out, it is like his own form of drug addiction or artistry and he has perfected his technique to obtain the high he desires. Poetic justice and what not.
In essence one can say Enzo is a little mad (Torture, pain, loss will cause that), murderous (Vampire and all that), driven (even if it is towards revenge and other dark things), loyal (To a point that can be said to cross some lines. He will do anything for the ones he loves, the only one still alive that he does being Damon), obsessive (he could be a poster boy for obsession, the way he fixates and can not let go, be it of Damon, thanking Maggie, revenge, pretty girls.) , jealous (he has so litte, he really is not good at sharing) all wrapped up in a handsome, british accented package with a keen mind, sharp wit to go with his tongue and an ability to do whatever it takes (literally) with a calm head.)
