Appearance
Valentino al-Busiri is very metropolitan; he's fit, clean-cut, handsome, and meticulously groomed. He presses all of his clothes and keeps his hair full of product to maintain it. He wears fine fabrics in as many styles as he can, ranging from uniform-like Ganymedean wear to traditional Jovian or Saturnian styles. The clothes make the man, and Valentino can be nearly anything.
Personality
Valentino is stubborn, obtuse, proud, defiant, and rebellious. He will always try to do his own thing and is reluctant to compromise. He can be bossy and direct, and will revert to passive-aggressive behaviors when scorned. He will hold a grudge and can be strategic with his treatment of people. Once he attaches, though, he is possessive and jealous.
Background
Valentino Rafael al-Busiri is the second son/fourth child of a Ganymedean naval officer and a Gaian commando. Raised in a large, sprawling Ganymedean family, Valentino was the ubiquitous "baby" of the family and was raised very spoiled. He was able to watch his siblings make their mistakes and learn from them, even going so far as to try and convince them to make others so Valentino could learn from them.
An inspiringly bright mind, Valentino excelled at academics and graduated from secondary school into the Ganymedean Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, where he studied fashion and business -- not a popular decision in his family's steeped tradition of martial and civic service. His flamboyant and loud personality only accentuated his art, which faced scorn from his father's family. While never unloved or losing favor from his father, Valentino struggled to impress him with his work; his mother, on the other hand, treasured everything Valentino did -- which only encouraged him to continue in spite of most of his family's wishes.
After graduating, Valentino traveled to the Ceres colony in the asteroid belt, where he began trading -- both legally and illegally -- in any business fortune he could to begin amassing his own capital. This would begin landing him in trouble that he could handwave off with his Jovian connections, and also in the favor of some questionable agencies that began using him as an informant and a source of information. His wily, unpredictable personality made him an asset to NGOs and other operations on both sides of the asteroid belt.

Special Abilities
Martial Arts -- Valentino is trained in self-defense, including melee and firearms training. He is, by no means, a soldier.
Espionage -- Valentino is a social chameleon and as such is perfect for light investigative and intelligence duties. He operates best as a "sleeper" agent and support staff.
Quartermaster - As a graduate of the Ganymedean RAAS, Valentino is a certified Royal Designer. On its face, it's an artist's license to fashion clothing and apparel, but in practical use Valentino is an applied sciences expert. He can create clothing for any occasion, body armor, weapons, gadgets, and other facets of engineering. All he needs is the materials and the rest will just happen courtesy the renowned V.R. al-Busiri himself.
Alkemia - Valentino is trained and licensed for the use of hephaestium and thaumaline -- an incredibly rare, extra- and transdimensional mineral, and its refining byproduct respectively -- in a form of alchemy known as 'alkemia' or 'Al-kemia.' Using the transdimensional energy contained within the stones and jewels, Valentino can create near-instantly without strictly adhering to the laws of equivalent exchange, though a true scholar would recognize the energy-matter relationship between the transdimensional energy containd within hephaestium and thaumaline is simply replacing the requirement for matter. Valentino's access to legal hephaestium is strictly monitored and regulated, both by PARADIGM and its sources on Ganymede.

Weaknesses & Flaws
- Sensation Junkie (2): You're addicted to sensation, and will do anything to find new means of stimulation. If the opportunity presents itself, you need something distracting you to resist the urge, and only by making a roll (Diff 6).
- Compulsive Speech (aka Big Mouth) (2): For whatever reason, you have difficulty sticking to the rule, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all." 1 point makes you talkative and a bit blunt; 2 points makes you a complete prick.
- Airhead (1): Maybe you have trouble paying attention, maybe you're just clueless, maybe you just look like a flake; no matter what, people don't take you seriously. You generally have a -1 Social rolls penalty when dealing with serious/dire situations.
