## Personality

Antonio Garcia is a sucker for his family and the people he has grown close to on Bone Street. The things he does and the choices he makes are all to ease the suffering that people deal with on the daily, not just the suffering of his family. Most of society doesn't know how he really is in private and around the people he has grown close with, but during public appearances and released video tapes of the BSK, Antonio is calm, considerate and oddly polite.

During his last job that got him imprisoned, he had a conversation with first-year RSW student Zara Wadley justifying his group's actions instead of attacking or assisting in the stealing aspect of the job. However, his distraction was ultimately the downfall of his group because he couldn't assist them in time before they were defeated.

Even while imprisoned, Antonio spoke to police officers as a last resort to try and get them to assist Bone Street, and to his surprise, they negotiated with him.

## Origin

Antonio Garcia is the second child in the Garcia family and unlike his older brother, he was born in Bone Street itself. He had grown up seeing how gloomy and filled with suffering this area of the city was so the older he got, the closer he was to solving these issues himself.. and that's what he did. Antonio, along with his close friend and older brother Jorge Garcia, formed what would be known as the Bone Street Krew.

The BSK believed that they could not rely on the government, because if they did, they would have already stopped suffering, so they needed to take matters into their own hands and supply Bone Street with stolen goods from grocery stores and the like. They justified their actions by believing that the things they steal from those stores are going to those who suffer, instead of those who have lived in luxury. During a few of their crimes, they caught the attention of someone willing to join their cause, this person turned out to be Crow. His real name is unknown.

Crow had a catch to him, because he challenged Antonio to a fight and if Antonio won, he would join their cause, and if Antonio lost, he would lead the group himself. Antonio ended up winning this fight, but he had no choice but to cut Crow's right arm off in the process. After being defeated, Crow became a trusted member of the BSK and his arm was replaced with a prosthetic one that Antonio managed to fetch for him.

The BSK would go on to succeed in more jobs and supply Bone Street over and over again, satisfying their needs and even desires for a long time. However, after attempting to rob the A-Mart that the first-year RSW students were helping out yet, they were defeated and imprisoned. Because they had a good reasons behind bad actions, the police were willing to negotiate with them and possibly even release them..

## Amp

**Gato:** Antonio's amp gives him many traits of a cat, including enhanced agility, the ability to see clearly in the dark, the ability to survive great falls, and enhanced speed. Some traits Antonio was given were also extremely amplified. For example, Antonio can easily survive the fall from a tall building and even a skyscraper if he focuses hard enough. Antonio can also climb things and leap from one thing to another with ease.

Antonio's amp has little to no downsides:

* Antonio has a natural craving toward warmth, and will actively try to avoid the cold.
* Antonio, only for a brief second, gets easily distracted by bright moving lights, much like a cat gets distracted by a moving red dot.

## Equipment

**Katana:** Antonio wields a katana during jobs, but always avoids having to harm people with its blade.

## Extra

* Despite Antonio being of Mexican descent, a lot of his attributes are Japanese themed. His alias is Japanese, meaning "ghost/monster cat." Bakenekos are monster cats that have lived long enough to become yokai and gain supernatural powers in Japanese mythology. Alongside his Japanese alias, Antonio also wields a katana, a Japanese weapon.
* After the public learned of the motives behind the BSK, there was a loud outrage on social media. The hashtag #FreeBSK was even trending for short while until the police put out a statement that they are negotiating with them. The support from the public even made Antonio shed a few tears.
* Antonio and the rest of the individuals in his group are nonviolent, only resorting to violent means when it is absolutely necessary.
