### Lito Rodriguez: 1988 - 2006

Though Lito is the son of Estrella Rodriguez and her longtime lover Carlos Gutiérrez, he never knew his father. Lito was born and raised in Corto Maltese, surrounded by his four aunts who all lived with him and his mother in a villa that once belonged to Lito's father — a famous dancer. The estate was in serious disrepair since the arrest and execution of Carlos Gutiérrez for crimes against the old regime during the nation's revolution following the instrinsic explosions. When the war had settled, Estrella's sisters moved in to support their pregnant sister.

Growing up, Lito often watched the televised dramas alongside his mother and aunts. He slowly began to realize that his mother and aunts admired and adored the people on the screen. Lito slowly began to emulate what he saw on the screen, doing his own impressions and recitals of scenes for the attention of his family. The praise he would get from this began to stir in him a desire to become an actor.

### Lito Rodriguez: 2006 - 2009

Lito would go on to enroll in acting school. Shortly after his admission, he landed a role on television that would catapult him in the Corto Maltesian entertainment circuit. He was quickly being offered more roles than he could handle. He became a staple of both action movies and romantic movies. However, this success caused a serious problem for Lito who was beginning to realize that he was not the man he often played on screen as Lito was slowly coming to accept the reality that he was attracted to men.

Concerned that this realization would cause trouble for his career and would not be well-received in the highly traditional political climate of Corto Maltese, Lito stayed in the closet about his sexuality. He dated young actresses, hired female assistants, and built a persona as being a playboy to his sexuality.

Yet, despte Lito's best efforts, there were those who could see through his charade. One such person was a reporter — Raoul Pasquale. During an interview with Lito about his meteoric rise to prominence, jumping from stage to television to film so quickly, Raoul confronted Lito about his sexuality. Lito admitted the truth to Raoul and confessed why he kept this truth about himself a secret. Raoul understood and agreed to not publish Lito's secret. The two had an ongoing relationship for a while in secret that would benefit both men's careers.

### Lito Rodriguez: 2009 - 2015

One day, Raoul disappeared. Lito was shaken. Seeking comfort after months of bearing this loss in secret, Lito went to a gay bar to find someone with who he could share his grief. Most men in the bar did not recognize Lito, further reminding him that his movies were made to appeal solely to the straight demographic. However, there was an art professor who was an avid consumer of all manner of art. His name was Hernando Fuentes and he not only recognized Lito, but could not help himself from approaching the actor and gush with great admiration for Lito's body of work.

After the two men talked for hours, (Hernando presumed to ask Lito if he could take him on a date. Lito declined at first, but Hernando presumed to ak Lito if he could take him on a date. Lito declined at first, but Hernando assured him it would be a discreet date.) On those conditions, Lito agreed, and Hernando soon took him to a museum for a famed artist Hernando loved. He talked about how things like love, art, religion, and so much more were all interconnected. As he continued to wax eloquently about all things, Lito found himself drawn to Hernando like he was never drawn to another and so this began their ongoing relationship.

Lito's career continued to flourish until he became a famed action star with true potential to soon cross over to America's big budget films. Though Hernando and Lito moved in together, Lito kept playing it straight with beautiful women always on his arms at public events and galas. Usually these women were hand-picked by Hernando, as was the case with Daniela Velazquez — Lito's latest "beard". Around the same time that Lito seeing strange people on his film sets and experiencing strange sensations, Dani found Hernando in Lito's bed and rather than sell the story to the press, she eagerly climbed in the bed and made herself comfortable.

## Threat Assessment

### Resources

* **Psionic Metahuman Physiology:** Lito belongs to a sub-class of psychic known as a sensate.
	+ ***Astral Visitation:*** lito can project a portion of her consciousness in the vicinity of another sensate (whether one belonging to his cluster or one with which he had has physical contact previously). This projection is turned to the senses of sensates.
	+ ***Mesmerism:*** Lito has the ability to put others in a light trance, making them highly suggestible and allowing him to affect their behavior and thoughts. He can channel this ability through eye contact, his voice, or physical touch. For greater effect, Lito can direct his mesmerism through multiple channels simultaneously. Once someone has fell to Lito's charms, they become more pliable to his direction. However, once the effect has been shaken off once, it becomes more difficult to restore the effect.
	+ ***Sensory Empathy:*** Lito can share his senses, emotions, thoughts, and memories with other sensates — particularly those that belong to her sensate cluster.
	+ ***Supernatural Senses:*** Lito is able to see hear, and interact with beings on the astral plane — particularly sensates, but also ephemeral entities, and invisible spirits such as ghosts. He is also sensitive to intrinsic and psychic phenomena.
	+ ***Telepathic Sharing:*** Lito can share his knowledge, languages, skills, talents, and even his psychic abilities with sensates from his cluster (see Riley Blue, Nomi Marks, Will Gorski, Wolfgang Bogdanow, Capheus Onyango, Kala Dandekar, and Bak Sun-hee for a list of skills accessible to Lito) For the transfer of skills, talents, and psychic abilities, Lito must possess the receiving sensate or allow himself to be possessed by the projecting sensate while they are visiting.
* **Actor:** Lito is a famed actor with considerable talent, at least much more than his usaul productions showcase. Lito takes his roles seriously and will often engage in research and exhaustive training to prepare a role — particularly for his more dramatic roles. As a result, Lito has acquired a wide-variety of skills.
	+ ***Athletic:*** Lito works out regularly and adheres to a fairly strict diet to keep his body in peak condition. Lito has also engaged in many of his own stunts.
	+ ***Charisma:*** Even without use of his mesmerism, Lito is widely regarded to be a very attractive and charming individual. He's a modern day sex symbol. As the saying goes, everywhere Lito goes "men want to be him and women want to be with him".
	+ ***Fame:*** Lito has adoring fans willing to help him out when called upon.
	+ ***Imitation:*** Lito practiced as a flair bartender for six months for his role in *Bloodstained Tequila*. He can quote lines from his movies with ease. He has played thieves, assassins, priests, cops, criminals, doctors, and more. Lito has learned to easily portray these sorts of characters and others as well.
	+ ***Marksman:*** Though Lito is not comfortable with using live firearms against people, he is proficient in the handling and use of firearms on movie sets. He does not engage in target practice anymore, as such his accuracy has likely diminished.
	+ ***Martial Arts:*** Lito has trained with a number of stunt choreagraphers to make it look like he knows how to fight. He can probably throw a good punch in reality if he had, too. Though his hands would probably not be prepared for the pain involved.
	+ ***Wealth:*** Lito has a great deal of resources. He is able to travel the world with ease and live in a spacious penthouse. He also paid to restore his family's villa to allow his mother and aunts to live in comfort.

### Weaknesses

* **Burden Bearing:** When a clustermate is overwhelmed with intense pain, the excess pain may flood over the rest of the cluster, resulting in excruciating phantom pain.
* **Fear:** Lito usually plays a selfless hero in his roles but he believes in real life that he is a coward. He is afraid is many things — but mostly the exposure of his true sexuality.
* **Migraines:** Lito, like most psionics, suffers from severe migraines.
* **Vulnerability — Electricity:** Lito reacts poorly to electrical stimulation. Electric shock overstimulates the psycellium nervous system of most sensates and induces severe pain and seizures — often with violent coughing of blood and bloody noses.
