River Rodriguez

== Appearance ==
River is a scrawny sixteen year old, most often dressed in clothes that are a bit too big, or actually too big for him. They're very clearly hand-me-downs and River will confirm that fact if asked.
He has shoulder length light brown hair that have a habit of falling into his face, causing him to nervously brush them aside. His eyes, just as brown, hide behind a pair of glasses that River can't really see without. He's very, very protective of them. 
He really likes scarves and finds ways to incorporate them as best he can into his awkward wardrobe. 
== Background ==
River Rodriguez is the youngest of six brothers, something that's left him a bit nervous and shy. He doesn't get along with them all that well, but still loves them dearly. It's obvious that his attire is entirely made up of his brothers hand-me-downs - and is often an awkward clash of styles.
River is an aspiring filmmaker, possessing immaculate knowledge about cinema both popular and obscure. He's also working on not quoting movies every chance he gets - especially if it's from some weird foreign flick no one's ever heard of as Corey has put it.
River works at Underground Video - a video rental store that has somehow survived this far into the 21st century. Corey, the only other employee, says it's because Underground Video started to decompose but never quite figured it out. River spends much of his time watching movies, spouting film trivia to a bored Corey, and dusting displays (including a collection of music records from the store's ill-fated attempt at expanding). He's also often, and very easily, roped into his boss Georgio's hairbrained schemes to bring customers to Underground Video - something Corey always manages to escape. 
He's currently working on getting a promotion. To what position? He's not sure. Underground Video doesn't really have any. But he and Corey have been told only one of them can get 'promoted'. Corey doesn't care. River cares too much.
== Relationships ==
River, much to his own luck and surprise, has recently started dating Bronx, escaping the group of Mall Ellens to go see CATS together. He's had a crush on Bronx for a while now, and was finally able to ask him out with the help of Sahar, Val, and Dahlia. It may actually have been Bronx doing the asking out though - River was too stunned to really remember. 
He's very close friends with Sahar, and often seeks her out for advice, smiles, or whenever he needs to vent. Val, according to River, is the most capable person he knows, and he values their friendship greatly. He lets Dahlia pay for her movie rental fees in pretzels.
He gets along okay with Corey. She claims to own his soul after taking the blame for one of his mistakes.
