Appearance[]
Lorenzo is a tall, slim, and lanky young man with purple eyes and free-flowing, messy black hair with dyed purple tips that sway to the right side of his face. He has golden teeth due to his old ones deteriorating, a tattoo of a blue mouth surrounded by black flames on the back of his long neck, and slight facial hair on his chin. He is seen wearing the #2 black and white striped Ubers uniform during the Neo Egoist League.
Personality[]
Lorenzo is only focused on the strength of others and money. He strongly believes money makes the world go round and there is nothing in this world money can't obtain. He only acknowledges people with value attached to them, and even then, they have to be strong for him to give them any care. Even though he is overconfident, he is a team player whose team strongly trusts his abilities. He even realizes his role in the overall team formation and does not try to step out of it by doing his job perfectly and feeding the ball to their striker without issue.
His obsession with money stems from his upbringing; he was born into a miserable household and, after being abandoned by his parents, was forced to live in the streets. He spent his time swindling people out of their money for survival, but eventually, he lost hope in life and was ready to die. Fortunately, he was found by Snuffy, who offered him help in exchange for playing football with him, with Snuffy paying for his signature golden teeth. Ever since, he has gained immense respect for Snuffy, not hesitating to defend him after Baro called him a coward and rejected his proposal to succeed him.
He also has a habit of saying "okay" after every sentence.
Abilities[]
Archetype[]
- Libero: The libero (Italian for "free") or sweeper is a more versatile type of defender that sweeps up the ball if the opponent manages to break the defensive line. Their position is rather more fluid than that of other defenders who mark their designated opponents. Sweepers are usually faster than the other players on the team and are built slightly smaller than the others. The sweeper's ability to read the game is even more vital than for a center-back; they also are usually confident on the ball and possess good passing and vision, as they are often responsible for starting plays from the backline.
Lorenzo is the heartbeat of Uber's defense and is stated to be the world's best U-20 center back. With his predictive and physical abilities, Lorenzo is a master when it comes to man-marking and blocking of a ball's path, be it a pass or shot. This was best shown when he locked down Michael Kaiser, a fellow New Gen 11, for the majority of Ubers match against Bastard München. He even managed to block Kaiser's "Kaiser Impact," an incredible feat considering the shots speed and velocity.
Skills[]
- Zombie Dribbling: Lorenzo's dribbling style involves moving his upper and lower bodies in a way that makes them completely uncoordinated, making it extremely difficult to read his center of gravity. This technique allows Lorenzo to effortlessly dribble past his opponents by confusing them with his unconventional movements.
