xxx ---⊰APPEARANCE
Gio is a tall man of average build, his muscle built from years of work as a potter, not any
excessive exercise aside from carrying crates to and from delivery points. His skin is
weathered and his hands, large and made for both manual work and the careful detailing
of his pottery, have callouses and old scars. Some would say he's handsome, a well defined
face and expressive green eyes. Black hair is often spotted with forgotten bits of stray clay,
but is almost always pulled back. His hair at the temples are peppering gray along with a few
stray strands here and there. The early graying comes from his father's side. Rarely is he ever
fully shaved. His clothing varies with the day and the occasion. Some are for special events,
and he keeps valuable fabrics (of which he only owns a spare two or three pieces, kept in an
old trunk as not to ruin them. Usually he's wearing a heavy leather apron to prevent wet clay or
paint getting on anything important. Regardless of the passing day he does usually wear plain
trousers tucked into calf-high work boots.
xxx ---⊰PERSONALITY
Polite, kind, and a hard worker. Gio's mother burnt in his morals at a young age. Be polite and respectful of others and they will return the favor. Always help a lady. And work for everything you have and you will eventually get what you deserve. These are morals he follows without much deviation, though certain circumstances can get a rise out of him. With friends and family he's doting and attentive, many would even say he's a bit of a doormat. Affectionate when acceptable, he's a huger, not a hand-shaker, to put it at the most basic. He'll make you a hand-made gift for birthdays and Christmas (should Christmas exist here), he's made breakfast in bed for lovers before, and to his Plague (when she matures into an Excito) he's more a bumbling first-time father than a guardian or anything.
He cares for her and is terribly nervous that she's going to fall behind a cabinet, or eaten by a bird, or trampled. It's why he doesn't own pets. He frets and worries and panics easily about things he's meant to be personally responsible for. Have him watch your dog and he'll have a heart attack before the end of the week simply because he's consumed with the need to watch the dog to make sure it doesn't just up and die. This comes from a horrible experience with his mother's cat. While not directly his fault, the cat did eat a mouse while he wasn't watching, wasn't his fault that the mouse was sick with something that eventually killed the cat. It was still traumatic as a young boy charged with taking care of an animal that wasn't his own and he doesn't want it to happen again.
He isn't a push over regardless of his kind nature though. He's had his share of fistfights and isn't one to "turn the other cheek" when someone comes at him or those he holds close. And he curses like a drunken sailor, in Italian, but the hate sound the same, should he get annoyed enough. Though hard to do, knock into him when he's carrying a delivery without apologizing, breaking merchandise and refusing to pay/trade for them, etc. Just being a jerk will also get you some hefty insults.

xxx ---⊰GEORGIO
Born to a family of masons and potters, he was born to make things with his hands. Ecara was his original home, and the reason why he often curses in Italian instead of English. His father made pots and just about anything else out of clay, and was known for his detailed painting work. His mother was, like most women, a mother and a house-wife. She was a good mother, and the one that ingrained Georgio's kind nature and polite ways into him. As a young boy his life was far from interesting. He has the usual childhood fights and school lessons and everything else a young boy goes through. When he grew to about thirteen his introduction to the business his father was in. His grandfather insisted that the boy be a stone mason. "His hands should build this city, like mine did, and my father before him," were common words he heard when the family discussed his future when they thought he wasn't listening. Regardless, he loved his fathers work, and gladly took up the mantle.
When he turned fifteen the family moved to Panymium, Imisus to be specific. It was 1395. The move was more for his father, than the family itself. The trade was better, and after a couple years the family settled in a new shop, his father back to working for himself instead of for another man. When they first moved to the country they stayed with another family of stone masons until they got on their feet. During that time Georgio continued his apprenticeship to his father, improving his skills. Being the only child, his father took it very seriously, and Georgio, being a model son, continued it without much complaint. While smart, he didn't actually complete and entire proper schooling, instead just taking up the family business and making his father proud. All the while his mother was attempting to teach him how a proper gentleman should act, regardless of him being a working class boy instead of a man in the social status to be worthy of the title.
In the summer of 1399, the year before he turned twenty he moved to Mishkan, very curious about the innovation, and very interested in setting up his own pottery shop. He apprenticed to a mason in a town outside the capital until he saved up the money to buy his own shop with a kiln. ((Gonna leave it vague as to where he moved, cause I'm unsure if the capital seems logical, or affordable for that matter, for a young potter. This section will be edited when I get this information)) It was a curious ten years to the current date after that. The same year he moved to Mishkan, rumor to the Plague Doctor and the humanized plague started up, and some years later the closing of borders, preventing him from visiting his family, preventing him seeing his grieving father, but allowing the package of his deceased mother's teapots to make it to him shortly before the borders were officially closed.
xxx ---⊰HISTORY of HIS ITEM
Georgio's father was the man that taught him pottery. And he was always making tea-sets for his wife, Georgio's mother. When she passed away his father packed up all the teapots and teacups and plates and sent them west to his son, not being able to grieve and move on with them staring at him constantly.
When they arrived he cleaned them, shined them, and put most of them up in a cabinet to remember his mother by. A few pots were sold to women who found his father's work wonderful. A few more used for everyday use. There was one though, a pale yellow pot with navy detailing. Thought he'd been able to shine the outside, the inside held strange black stains, and a scent which, at first, he believed to just be the clay of the inside going stale. The tea made inside it though, never came out, the water turning black and curdling, so instead he set it aside, watching it on occasion, the strange stench growing by the days, a strange death and tea leaf scent. It remains carefully set on a shelf near his work benches. He often swears it's staring back at him. Though it's probably just his mind playing tricks on him.
