Job Skills: Feliciano's main skills lie in his abilities to be charming and persuasive. He is a good salesman and an excellent artist and singer. This is how he makes his living.
Personality and short background:
Personality -- Feliciano is one of your typical happy-go-lucky sorts of people. He likes to be happy and laughing and having a good time, rather than fighting or thinking of anything particularly serious. He likes to eat and sleep and sing and paint and draw. All things that take little to no effort on his part.
He is also prone to tears. Mostly, these seem to be a sort of weakness. He isn't used to some of the hardships of life and so over-reacts to them by bursting into tears. However, he has come to understand that he can get almost anything he wants in this world by pouting out that lower lip and tearing up a little, and so he uses his over-active tear glands to his advantage whenever he can.
Feliciano is also craftier than he might first appear, using his obvious obliviousness as a tool to make people think he's stupid so that he can get through life easier and get what he wants. It's very difficult to see past this facade, though, simply because Feliciano is so good at being stupid.
Background -- Feliciano was raised in the lap of comfort. As the favorite grandson of the Emperor Rome, he had literally everything he could ever want. But he was also forced to do things that he never wanted to do -- like face the prospect of having to inherit his grandfather's legacy. Feliciano never was one for taking control. It's too much responsibility for him.
The young prince remembers having people in his life that are no longer there. And while he can't quite place names or faces to these people, he knows that they're out there. So, when he was 17, he ran away from home in an attempt to get out of the duties he did not want and also to try and find these people that he knew he was missing.
Since then, he has managed to make a name for himself as "Italy" rather than the "Veneziano" that he went by as the prince. He runs a little store of art - he draws and paints and sells them as products, but he also buys fabric to make clothing and sell that as well, having an eye for design and complimentary colors and styles.
He has yet to find the people he's looking for, but he enjoys his life outside the palace, happy to walk among normal people and just be himself.
Other: Feliciano has one ear pierced and likes to wear flashy baubles in it. Also, he keeps a minute number of art supplies always on his person through the use of a belt that he can hide under most clothing he wears. He also has a strange verbal tick of saying "ve" frequently, though he tries not to. Lastly, Feliciano likes to paint his face as well. It's an odd quirk he's developed since running away from home. He sees his own body as a work of art and paints his face to add to the effect at times. Tattoos, however, are out of the question because they're too permanent and too painful.
RP sample:
Today was the day. The day when Feliciano would see Ludwig again. He couldn't quite explain why he was so very excited to give Ludwig the picture he had painstakingly painted for the German, but he was. Very excited. And the thought of seeing the person he had been staring at on a canvas for the past couple of days made him giddy.
And he wanted it to be perfect, so he spent much more time than absolutely necessary picking out clothes and trying different outfits on until he suddenly realized what time it was. "I'm late!" he gasped suddenly, half out of the last shirt he'd been trying on. "Dio..." Almost immediately, he pulled the shirt back on and tugged on a pair of pants as well. It wasn't his favorite ensemble, but it would have to do - it was full of frills and lace and was mostly colored a bright green.
Feliciano pushed a small hoop earring through his ear as he hurried out of his little little apartment and down the streets. It struck him as he ran in a frenzied hurry that this was exactly how he had met Ludwig in the first place - in a rush to get to his shop at a decent time. A smile flickered across his face despite his hurried state as he rounded the corner just before his shop and then came to a screeching halt in front of the man who was already there.
"I... I'm so sorry I'm late," he gasped out as he tried to catch his breath in the same instant. "It was... later than I thought..." He continued to puff for a few more moments and then suddenly threw his arms around the German. "I missed you, Ludwig!" He had no idea how easily this could give the poor man a heart attack...

((As a note from me, a lot of this was copy-pasta'd, but I did add a few things to the likes/dislikes, and also filled out the quirks section with some strange new quirks for Feli. <3))
