BACKSTORY ⸻
The Rinaldi Family was renowned not just within Halcyon Island, but their influence extended onto the mainland. Giuseppe built the family's reputation, Giovanni expanded it, and now Enzo was quickly climbing the ranks and making a name for himself. From a young age, it was clear the boy was gifted. Although his powers did not make an appearance until he was eleven years old, he was brilliant in other ways. His memory was unlike that of a regular child. He could recall numbers, patterns, events, and systems with ease. He excelled academically, although his father was not easily impressed. Not until their routine training day, where after countless failures, his son finally reacted. The training room cracked under the pressure of his power.
“Atta boy,” the older man smiled proudly. It was truly a gift, and one that his father kept quiet for many reasons.
From then on, Enzo's life changed completely. Private training sessions became a regular occurrence, each one more challenging than the last. Aside from developing his powers, Giovanni slowly began pulling him into the family business. Suddenly, Enzo was privy to information that had previously been restricted from him. He was tested often - physically, mentally, and strategically. Taught to be observant, to always be three steps ahead of the game, and, most importantly, that Rinaldis protected their own and remained loyal to The Current.
The quiet boy excelled before both his parents and the faction. When he wasn’t training, he was studying. His focus was initially Information Systems, but his father pushed him toward double majoring with Economics as well. Giovanni wanted his son to understand not only technology and systems, but also the way money, markets, and power moved throughout the world. His son simply being good was not good enough. He wanted to mold the best version of himself.
Upon graduation, Enzo started his own logistics company, originally meant to support his grandfather's business ventures. It didn't take long before it became one of the faction's greatest assets. Today, he oversees not only the legitimate side of the business, but also manages and expands the family's investments. At his young age, Enzo has already proven that he is more than just Giovanni Rinaldi's son - he is the future of the family name.
PERSONALITY ⸻
+ strategic, loyal, observant, disciplined
 - calculating, quiet, guarded, relentless
HEADCANON ⸻
He remembers everything people tell him, especially the inconsistenciesÂ
Doesn't drink heavily or consume drugs, he likes to always be in control of himself
He believes in fairness, but only gives one opportunity. He believes loyalty is earned, not assumed. However, he has a habit of testing people’s loyalty, sometimes without even realizing that is what he is doing.Â
There is no coming back from betraying him. Once trust is broken, it is almost impossible to rebuild.
He doesn’t make empty threats, and if Enzo says he will handle something,he means it.
Rarely lashes out emotionally. Even in moments of anger, he remains controlled and precise. Every action is calculated, every word intentional, and every decision made with purpose.Â
Although he does not seem like it, he is deeply sentimental about the people and memories he considers his own. He may not show affection easily, but he remembers every important moment.
He shows love through actions rather than words. He will solve your problems, protect you, and make sure you’re taken care of before he ever admits he cares.
He still carries certain habits from childhood, especially ones his father taught him. Chess, card games, certain sayings, or routines that remind him of simpler times.Â
He is a better cook than people expect. He learned because he appreciates precision, but also because cooking reminds him of home.Â
He is gentle with people who are vulnerable. His patience around those who are struggling or cannot defend themselves is different than what the world perceives.
When he trusts someone completely, his entire demeanor changes. He becomes softer, more relaxed, and less guarded — almost like a different person.Â
He is loyal to a fault. Once he chooses someone, he chooses them completely.
He is secretly romantic in an old-fashioned way
GRAVITY MANIPULATION ⸻
The Rinaldis were known for producing Dominion-Class mutants, each generation manifesting a different ability. Enzo's mutation grants him control over gravitational forces. Although capable of great distruction, his mutation is centered around precision, rather than brute force. This allows him to alter the weight, pressure, and momentum of people and objects in his environment. He has been training under his father for years, who drilled into him the importance of precision and perfection over everything else. His mutation is not one that can be used carelessly, thus he relies on strategy, observation and careful planning before using it.
After years of training under his father, Enzo has learned to:
Increase and decrease the weight of people, objects, or even himself.
Create localized pressure to restrain an opponent or make movement increasingly difficult.
Manipulate momentum to subtly alter the path or force of moving objects.
Reduce his own weight to improve agility, balance, and soften the impact of falls.
Exert concentrated bursts of gravitational force capable of damaging structures or overwhelming opponents when absolutely necessary.
Limitations & drawbacks:
His control weakens the more targets or larger areas he attempts to affect at once.
His mutation demands constant focus. Distractions, exhaustion, or emotional distress make maintaining precise control significantly more difficult.
Overuse often results in migraines, dizziness, muscle fatigue, blurred vision, and severe exhaustion. Prolonged overuse will make him pass out.
Larger displays of power are physically taxing and difficult to conceal, making them a last resort.
How others experience it:
His presence often carries an unconscious sense of intimidation, even when he isn't actively using his mutation.
Many people describe an inexplicable feeling of pressure when standing near him, as though the atmosphere itself has become heavier.
Those caught within the effects of his ability frequently compare it to having an invisible weight settle over their body, making even simple movements feel exhausting.
Because of the Directorate, Enzo rarely uses his mutation in public. Years of discipline have taught him that the strongest move is often knowing when not to use his power at all.
