**Dallas Moretti** is a character within Maple County Academy, who happens to be the 1IC of the Automotive Club, more known as The Greasers. He is portrayed by th3the0ry, the co-founder of the academy.

### Appearance

Dallas Moretti possesses an impressive height of 6'1" and a semi-muscular build that adds to his charismatic presence. As a descendant of the Moretti family, he proudly embraces his Hispanic-American heritage. Dallas exudes a unique, enigmatic charm that naturally draws the attention of many female hangarounds. His rough, Brooklyn accent reflects his upbringing in that vibrant neighbourhood, a significant part of his life.

Grease and oil often coat Dallas's hands, a testament to his passion for mechanics. It's a rare sight to catch him without the signs of his hands-on work. He slicks back his hair, evoking the classic 1950s greaser style, which perfectly complements his overall image. Adding to his distinctive appearance, he confidently dons a leather jacket while attending the Academy, wearing it as a symbol of his identity. A cross necklace adorns his neck, representing his deep-rooted faith, which he proudly displays.

A notable feature of Dallas's appearance is a temporary tattoo that stretches across his chest, gradually fading up to his neck. The tattoo depicts a snake, symbolizing the Moretti family crest, embodying his connection to his lineage. Additionally, he carries a wrench, a gift from his father after he returned from serving in the army combat. The tool symbolizes Dallas's love for mechanics and serves as a constant reminder of his father's support.

In a twist of fate, Dallas inherited his grandfather's prized possession, a silver 1957 Mercedes Benz 300 SL model, from his will. This iconic car holds significant sentimental value to Dallas, reflecting his profound passion for automobiles and connecting him to his family's legacy.

Dallas's distinguishable appearance is often accentuated by a scar on his lip, akin to the nose scar sported by his cousin, Atlas. To further add to his allure, Dallas often wears tinted shades, which partially conceal his hazel-colored eyes, adding an air of mystery to his persona.

In summary, Dallas Moretti fully embraces the style and attitude of the 1950s greaser era. From his slicked-back hair to his leather jacket, he exudes an undeniable charm that captures the essence of his personality and leaves a lasting impression.

### Personality

Contrary to popular perception, Dallas possesses a genuinely kind nature, avoiding conflicts unless absolutely necessary. While he does have a competitive streak, particularly rooted in his street racing background, he channels his drive into healthy outlets. Despite the intimidating image that some may associate with him, Dallas harbors no desire to cause harm. His true focus lies in pursuing his passion for mechanics, navigating through life while prioritizing his interests.

Deep inside, Dallas maintains a compassionate demeanour, genuinely caring about the well-being of others. He strives to be a considerate and understanding individual, challenging the assumptions often made about those associated with the greaser culture. However, if anyone poses a threat to his family, both biological and the greasers, Dallas's protective instincts kick in. He has zero tolerance for anyone who attempts to harm his loved ones, and he will take a stand to ensure their safety.

In essence, Dallas is a complex individual with a softer side that defies the stereotypical expectations of a greaser. While he may appear tough on the outside, he values relationships and cherishes meaningful connections. He remains unafraid to take necessary actions to achieve his goals, but always with a sense of responsibility and consideration for others along the way.

### Backstory

#### Childhood

To say the least, Dallas never had a normal childhood, mainly because he didn't really have a father figure. Born on October 11th 1991, Dallas was born in the city Barcelona, to a what he thought a single mother. At this time, Dallas's father was drafted out as an army engineer and wasn't really apart of Dallas's childhood, yet he still managed to hear stories about him from his older brother Dominic on how he was a hero, and fixed up vehicles to help save lives while being shot at. With the absence of his father however, Dallas became much closer to his mother Veronica who lead him to practically be a mama's boy all his life. At the age of 8, his father returned from deployment after medical leave, after his base was ambushed by the enemy leading him to be wounded while many died. His father suffered major PTSD from serving, and generally had episodes which he'd lash out on his brother Dominic. As soon as Dominic graduated, he eventually left Barcelona and moved to New York to pursue his dreams of being a lawyer leaving Dallas and his mother alone to deal with his father Hercule's episodes. By the age of 10 however, Veronica decided to pack up her things and take Dallas with her to stay in Brooklyn trying to escape from Hercule's madness that he insued.

#### Before Enrolment

Dallas soon received the message that his grandfather had passed, only a year after they left Barcelona. Dallas was devasted but atleast what his grandfather left in the will, would always remind him of how great he was. He left him a Mercedez Benz 300 SL 1957 model, as his grandfather always knew about his passions around mechanics and engineering just like his father. Dominic soon became a big shot lawyer within New York, after graduating and represented so many people, even celebrities which he'd usually win cases for. To celebrate this however, Dominic bought his brother a 1964 Ford Mustang which he got to work on and make his own. This is when Dallas soon started embracing the greaser culture and even became a street racer which lead to a downfall once he was only 13. As much as he shouldn't be driving, he decided to anyway and proceeded to race becoming pretty well known in the community however at the age of 13, he ended up in a major car accident sending him flying down a hill leaving him to be hospitalized in a coma, and a massive scar amongst his lip. From the way Dallas was acting out, Veronica thought that it would be better if he attended a school, that could whip his act into shape and surprise surprise Maple County Academy was about to do just that..

### Relationships

#### Atlas R. Thorne | Cousin | Best Friend

"It's like you goddamn rose from the dead, great to see you."

- Dallas reuniting with Atlas at Maple County

Dallas and Atlas are not the typical friends, rather the yin and yang to each other. Dallas, the more peaceful of the two thinks of things more logically, and technical as he was raised to be compared to Atlas, the more aggressive who doesn't tend to think well, and does what he has to do to get what he wants. These two are practically inseparable because of this however, making them each others ride or dies.

#### Dominic Moretti | Older Brother | Idolized

"I just need to face the music Dom, I can never be like you! Not successful atleast..."

- Dallas talking to Dom about his future

As Dallas's older brother, of course it is someone he idolizes. He mainly idolizes how Dom managed to turn his life around even if dealing with major hardships and trauma from his father. He even thinks about often how he is successful and all Dallas wishes is to be as great in life as he is.

#### Veronica Moretti | Mother | Respected

"Aye Mama, you can't go back to him..."

- Dallas talking to his mother about staying away from his father.

As a total mama's boy, it is understood why Dallas has major respect for his mother. She's has always been there and supported him unlike his father but he will never feel okay especially as he feels guilty about everything his father did, yet he could do nothing.

#### Hercule Moretti | Father | Despised

"Lay another finger on her, and I swear to god, I will shove your head under the hood!"

- Dallas yelling at his father for abusing his mother

Simply, Abusive and Unworthy of being a father. Was never close, and never would want to be close. He is the last person in the world that Dallas will ever want to see.

#### Stephan J. Montgomery | Rival | Uneasy | Disliked

"Sorry, thought some grease could help that horrible hairline of yours.."

- Dallas after wiping grease all through Stephans hair.

As much as he isn't as bad as his father, Stephan has always tried making Dallas's life hell. He never really understood what it felt like to have to work for anything and he absolutely hated him for that reason so whenever he gets the chance, he'll keep happily sending insults Stephans way.

#### Athena Monroe | Fling | Adored

"I thought I'd never get on my knees for any woman, but here I am..."

- Dallas after begging Athena for forgiveness

Athena Monroe, one of Dallas's only weaknesses within the academy. As a fling that he had, even though never getting into a relationship with her, he always managed to maintain a good friendship at least, which as much as he wants to be more, he knows he can't as that is not what she wants right now but that doesn't stop their flirty banter here and there.
