City Where the Young Die (modern)
Antonio is the embodiment of fatherhood and the goodness that it encompasses. He leads a fairly normal, simple life in his humble home just on the outskirts of a large city in America. Location is something that I am flexible with when writing this verse. This can lead to my Apocalyptic verse where the world goes to hell. It’s more of a really bad future so to speak.

Spirit of the Father (dragon age)
The Father is a spirit from the oldest, deepest part of the Fade. Ages ago, his only intent and purpose was to guide fathers on the other side of the Veil, to help them raise their young, and to make sure that children were loved, protected and looked after. Then, he crossed over. Into the dreams of a feverish drunkard on his deathbed, a terrible father to his child, the spirit appeared & the man reached for the light. So the spirit left the Fade behind to grant the man his life, and his child an even better one. Even then, it took the spirit time to remember that he is just that - a Spirit. Soon, that man passes away, peacefully, having lead a long and fulfilling life, and the spirit passes himself on to another dying father, then another, then another…
9:06 Dragon... Until he finds the body of Malcolm Hawke. He is a good man, a willing man, & a father to an unborn child, desperate to save their life and his own as he kneels before an alter, about to seal so much fate. Malcolm quickly grew at peace with such a spirit. Not only did the Spirit save lives the day that Corypheus was bound, it also allowed Malcolm a deal - to watch his child grow; despite him contracting the Taint while on the expedition - something that would have quickly killed him under any other circumstances. Malcolm was able to watch Hawke, Bethany, and Carver grow up until he succumbed to his illness in 9:27, three years before the Fifth Blight. The Spirit had held him from it for long enough - it needed to rest, & it had other plans for him.
However, the Ancient Spirit refused to leave Malcolm’s body - perhaps it was because he had begged it not to let him die, because Bethany's tears were just too much for him one quiet evening, or because Hawke had demanded he not die on them. The man had such a connection with the Spirit that even after the final mound of dirt was shoveled upon his still form, he fought. There was a role for him to play in life’s delicate balance. During the fifth Blight, the Spirit slowly heals Malcolm’s existence so that he can make his way out of his tomb. After the blight, during the outbreak of the Mage-Templar war, the Spirit quickly works to piece him back together, guiding him to take up an orphanage in the remains of Lothering, just outside the Hinterlands: An orphanage built upon all that remains of his late family’s homestead.
Now, Malcolm’s sole purpose is to father children who are less fortunate, taking them into his care at the orphanage, nursing them back to health, lifting their spirits, and caring for their broken souls. He rescues them from circles and from rogue bands of templars and soon (once the war is over) red templars, and wanders all of Thedas, with only one purpose - to save all children (he believes his own have passed).

Road to Ashes (apocalypse)
It has been years since the earth went to hell. Antonio had grown up in Spain and recently moved to the United States with his two children. Things started off nicely, they had a small home, close to a large city & lived a fairly solitary life—-except that Antonio had his hands elbow deep in the drug trade. Soon, he and his children were constantly on the move, from home to home, & motel to hotel, until one night, while settling down in a tattered motel couch, the old television bore to them an ominous message. The virus broke out first, & that was when Antonio lost his youngest daughter. He spent a night at the hospital before he was removed from her room by force, & never saw her again. Then heartbroken, he set out with his elder daughter the night the power flickered in the motel room, but never came back on. It was when screams echoed down the halls, & he was fighting to protect her from humans-turned-monster that he lost his other daughter. He turned around, & she was gone. Making a quick run through the fire escape and onto the desolate streets, Antonio soon collected his pistol and a sharpened pocket knife fighting to stay alive in hopes that he will one day find his daughter. Antonio has multiple encounters with multiple groups, but upon finding out that his daughter is not with them, he does not stay long. To combat his own sadness & weakness, he travels as a loner & fights to protect others. However, the man is weak, & old, so he often doesn’t prove much help. His personality is much the same as it is in my mainverse, fatherly & docile. In this verse, he is nearing his 59th birthday, but has lost count of time itself. He also often takes in other loners and cares for them as a father would to help ease the pain in his heart & longing for his own lost daughter. However, overtime, Antonio has grown rather ill. He knows that he doesn’t have long, but continues to fight, because if she is still alive, he wants to say goodbye.

If There's Money Involved I'm In (saints row)
This verse follows the events of the Saints Row Series, from Saints Row to Saints Row IV, & post. Antonio is a take-no-shit boss and a huge asshole. When he was in his early twenties, far before the events of the first Saints Row, he had a small group under his wing—-they were the FIRST Saints. However, over the years, the tiny gang dispersed, but they never forgot him. However, when he hit 35, and was nearly killed in a shootout between GANGS, a life he had slipped away from, Antonio decided to once again take up his gun with the offer and rejoin the Saints. The only problem? He was no longer in charge. Enemies? Trouble? It’s all under his belt. He enjoys raking in money from Stilwater & using it to benefit both himself & his loyal gang. The only things in his way are the law, & and rival gangs, & potentially an all-too-large-heart. People love him, and people hate him—it’s all part of the ‘good life’ he lives & loves.
His age is usually mistaken for weakness, which he uses to his advantage. Since things in Stilwater never seem to cool down, he’s always on the move, keeping active & in shape.
This Antonio is very different from his mainverse self. Though he still has a soft heart, he is no gentleman. He’s a dirty, impulsive, hard-headed, judgmental asshole. Get on his good side & he’ll keep a friend in mind, even if he hasn’t the heart to. Get on his bad side, & he’ll make you wish you were dead.
Antonio spends most of his time strolling the streets or lounging about in the penthouse. He eventually passes away through the events of Saints Row IV because his body is too weak to handle the simulation.
Age: SR (35), SR2 (46), SR3 (56), SR4 (66)

Father. Fighter. Thief. (skyrim)
An old Nord mingles with the likes of the thieves–dealing with the worst of the worst. In the beginning, he was a traveller, but during the war in Skyrim, Antonio began to settle with the thieves– men and women he could easily call FAMILY. Even after his calling, his loyalties to the guild have grown tighter & he eventually earns the title of the Guild master once secrets once unknown are revealed. Antonio continues to travel Skyrim’s treacherous & barren lands, despite his loyal ties to his Guild, looking for answers to questions he’s never asked. He is constantly in search of a new journey, finding it never too late to embark on a quest.

Father of Avalon (arthurian/medieval)
An old knight with a deep secret, retired early from duty due to a wounded hip, Antomides found a better life in heading an orphanage just outside of Camelot. He spends his time caring for the children of the lands, & making sure that they go to good homes, & even if they do not, the once-knight takes them into his own care. He often enjoys visits, & when his health permits mingles with the townsfolk in the markets. Still, if King Arthur ever does raise a sword, he is willing to lay down his life to defend his king, kingdom, & children. In this verse, Antomides possesses the same fatherly qualities & purity as he does in his modern verse, & is in essence the same being.

Heartfelt Throne (game of thrones)
A former priest of R’hllor (The Lord of Light) with a purpose of harboring and raising children, Antomides fell away from religion when he recognized it as harmful to those he loved (the children). He did not agree with raising children to be temple prostitutes and slaves; and believed that children should be raised with kindness, love, and free will to do as they choose. Antomides renounced his title as a “Red Priest” and took to northern Westeros to found an orphanage, where he believes the children in his care will be safe. His purpose is simple and his heart is large. Prior to the death of Ned Stark, he had petitioned the Starks for aid in building the orphanage, and pledged his loyalty to their name. He carried out many good deeds, including a mission to save children who were to be killed during Joffrey’s reign. Antomides possesses powers similar to those of Melisandre, the Red Priestess and uses them for good over evil.
