history_

Has one ever wondered how a Mexican and a Cameroonian meet, marry, and give birth to a black-xican son? Well, the story of Alejandro del Rio and Margo de Jardin is the answer to the above statement, leaving the wondering useless. Alejandro, or Al as nicknamed by his American friends, traveled to the States from Mexico to obtain an education from a university, fulfilling the dying wish of his mother. Around the same time, Margo, a young and beautiful Cameroonian woman, packed her bags and left her birthplace for America in order to earn an education and in effect, earn money, in order for her family to follow her. Al and Margo attended the same university, the University of Kansas; both majored in chemistry and shared many classes together. However, being of different races and speaking two different native tongues, they did not race to each other to meet and greet. Yet, one of the professors in their classes assigned a project that required partners that he chose, and he just so happened to pick Al and Margo to be a pair.

Al and Margo were hesitate on how to approach each other, but the project was challenging and required them to interact. They realized that they actually had much in common and even when the project finished, the two of them continued to spend time together. As their four years continued, their relationship developed into where they could spend days together without tiring of each other.
Once both were graudated from college with bacholer's degrees in chemistry and high honors and steady incomes, they married with the remaining members of Al's family, all of Margo's family, and many happy friends present.

After two years of marriage and graduate school for Margo, the couple discovered that they were pregnant. Excited and surprised, they prepared for the arrival of the bouncing baby boy. On March 18, 1990, at 2 AM in the morning, Galeno Egil del Rio was born, weighing in at 8 lbs., 2 oz and 17 inches. The two brilliant parents admired the boy, expecting him to follow his parents' footsteps, breaking the odds against him and taking the academic world by storm. And as the little Galeno began his development, his brilliance quickly developed as well, allowing him to talk advance sentences at the age of 18 months such as, "Are we leaving now, Mama?" It seemed that the smart genes had been passed on.

That was until Galeno went to school. In phonics, reading and writing, he excelled, amazing his teachers and even some of the other students. However, when it came down to math and science, he could not grasp the solid, concrete facts. His parents aided him in his studies and gave him tutors in his weak areas, but he never seemed to fully understand anything mathematical or scientific. Because of his weak understanding of those areas, he was held back, staying in the fourth grade for three years.

Because of his lack of knowledge in the world of his parents, they had distanced themselves from him, growing further apart, including not speaking to him at the dinner table. Therefore, at the age of fourteen, he began writing, expressing his thoughts in poetic form. He attempted to share his creations with his parents, but they did not fully appreicate the art of writing, calling it "a waste of time and energy". He then turned to his teacher and she helped him in the little area of improvement as best as she could. He then had some of his works published in a local writers' magazine, making his pseudonym of Richard Gal a local community star. Yet, he received no attention from his parents.

At the age of fifteen, he grew tired of trying to claim his parents' attention and searched out for a new family to call his own. The Pirus Bloods soon found him and brought him into their mist, greeting him as true brothers and sisters. Galeno, nicknamed Poet by the gang, climbed high in the rankings because of his speech and ability to bargain with the clients and other gangs. Soon the second in command, Galeno was highly respected around his gang's territory and rarely returned home. Whenever he did reveal his face to his parents, they would presume life as normal with them excluding him from their "intelligent" conversation.

He continued life with the Pirus Bloods: gaining territory, taking out troublesome rival gang members, and fighting off the cops to keep the drug business up. Everything was peachy keen until his parents announced that he was going to a boarding school in Connecticut called Banting. His parents knew about his gang life, but Galeno did not believe that they would actually interfere with it. When he was told, he was leaving in a week and so he and his Blood brothers and sisters partied like there was no tomorrow, for technically, there was none. Once the week was up, Galeno packed his bags and boarded a plane to where he knew no one and no one knew him.

records_ Has and always will be horrible at anything mathematical or scientific; he simply cannot get it. He will certainly excel at any sort of writing, especially creative. He was caught carrying a weapon on various occasions beginning in the seventh grade, usually a small pocket knife or small gun. The weapon was usually concealed in his back pocket or backpack.

beliefs_ He does not like homosexuals, for he does not believe that two of the same sex should be together. To him, it is unnatural and wrong...and a little creepy, even two girls together. He finds it gross! He also believes that cursing is a sign of ignorance, showing that the one swearing does not have a good word bank and can only use those vulgar words to express himself.
habits&quirks_ Unlike what most would think, he does not curse. He also has a bit of a staring problem. He will focus on something and not blink or even breath; he is almost in a trance until something or someone distracts from his object of focus.

gen.personality_ From one glance at Galeno, one would accept some roughneck gangsta, calling out different swear words and unintelligent sentence structure. However, that is simply not the case. Instead, he brings wise sayings to the table and poetic groupings of words, even if they are meaning to be insulting.

Despite his extreme choice of words, Galeno is a very loud, conceited, and just full of himself. He is proud of his looks and actually likes his parents in that aspect for their lovely genes. He believes that he can do anything and will brag about what he has accomplished. If he is challenged, no matter whether he can do the task or not, he will never back down from the challenge and take the person head on, trying to beat him by any means necessary. He is a dirty fighter and hardly ever plays fair at anything. From silly games to a serious gamble, he always has a trick up his sleeve and usually pulls out on top, unless his opponent is cheating as well.

As for the ladies, Galeno is one of those men that love women and has a new crush every week. He isn't the type that likes one-night-stands all too much, for he believes those to be very messy and far too emotional for the pretty lady. That does not mean that he will not do the dirty deed if the lady insists. He is one that will never waste a grand opportunity. Galeno, strangely compared with other boys, likes relationships, despite his past ones not lasting very long, for he loses interest very quickly. However, during the relationship, he is quite romantic, sharing poems of love and affections from his heart.

Like most of the other gangsters, he is a loyal friend and if one can look pass his cocky nature and see how valuable Galeno can really be, he makes the best friend. He will do anything for his friends and the close members of his family, from helping you get that girl/boy to like you, writing some of English homework to fighting for you and even taking a bullet for you, if necessary.

distinguishing.features_ He has a small birth mark, a dark brown dot, on the left corner of his mouth. From his wrists to his shoulders are bunches of random tattoos that he began to get when he joined the Pirus Bloods. Many of his tattoos represent his rankings in the gang and some of the names of the members that he dated or highly respected; some of them are dead now. In his left ear, he holds a large diamonique stud.

gen.description_ Galeno, on the outside, is the traditional gangsta...maybe a little on the shorter side, but certainly gangsta. Despite his short height of five feet and six inches, he makes up for it in body weight and muscle. He has very nice arms, cut from various workout sessions when his case of boredom became too much to bear. Along with the arms, he has a nice set of abs and strong legs (which he acquired from the many police chases).

His body shows a hard, rough road trip, while his face seems more soft and friendly than his body. His light brown eyes, shaped slightly slanted, shine from excitement and surprise. A wide and large nose fill out his face, along with his plump, pouty lips. Hiding underneath his lips is a goregous smile that many girls drool over. As for his hair, it is a dark brown against his warm honey brown skin color. He usually has it in a buzz cut, but every once and awhile, he will grow it out and put it into some braids, having some random girl do it for him. He prefers the buzz cut.

Clothing wise, he is almost always seen in a baseball cap or some kind. He has a collection of them, all of different variations. He loves to wear long shirts, baggy pants, lugz boots, Jordans, and hoodies (if he is not in the mood for baseball cap, he will throw a hood over his head). He only wears the three colors of his gang: red, white, and black. He might throw a gray in there once in a while, but not very often.
