ysabetwordsmithThese are the character notes for "The Things We Never Saw Coming."
Danys Abrego -- He has sorrel skin, black eyes, and nappy black hair which he wears in many long braids. He has just a tuft of beard at the tip of his jaw. His heritage includes Mexican and Haitian. He survived some pretty bad abuse in Haiti as a small boy, before his family moved to America; it makes him sensitive about protecting other people. Danys speaks English, Haitian Creole, Haitian French, and Mexican Spanish. He is also studying Filipino, but he is terrible at it.
Danys works for the Mercedes Fire Department as a firefighter/paramedic. He excels at teamwork, but his impulsive nature poses significant challenges to his professional development. He's young, though -- just out of college -- and his mentor Sandy Vierra feels confident that he'll grow out of it, as most people do. He is interested in learning soup care, but hasn't had an opportunity yet. As a teenager, Danys enjoyed Sankofa Club and now does safety presentations for them. He is a ladies' man (and occasionally a gentlemen's man too) with a knack for sexy stunts such as holding a whole egg in his mouth and knotting cherry stems with his tongue.
Qualities: Expert (+2) Teamwork, Good (+2) Firefighter/Paramedic, Good (+2) Sexy Stunts (), Good (+2) Upstander
Poor (-2) Impulsive
Emergency workers such as firefighters and nurses should know key phrases in as many locally used languages as possible. In addition to Spanish, Chinese is gaining popularity in some areas. In parts of local-California, fire crew bosses can be fired for not speaking Spanish, and Terramagne-American departments often require at basic phrases in a wider range of languages. However, L-American conservatives have often blocked measures trying to teach basic phrases, arguing that it's the victims' responsibility to understand rescue workers. Language barriers are everyone's problem, and here are some ways to cope with them.
Dayana Abrego -- She has naturally tan skin, hazel-brown eyes, and a short mop of loosely nappy hair in dark brown. She is slender with generous curves. She was born just after her family escaped Haiti and settled in America. Her heritage includes Mexican and Haitian. She speaks English and Mexican Spanish, but only a little of Haitian Creole. She just turned 19 years old on January 20, 2016.
Dayana is the younger cousin of Danys. Currently she is working toward an Associate of Arts in Administrative Medical Office Professional and a Vocational Nursing certificate at Mercedes Community College in Mercedes, California. That way she has two chances at work in the medical community, and whichever pans out, she can use that job to ratchet up her credentials since most employers will pay part or all of tuition for continuing education.
Since Dayana is in college, she doesn't want to start a serious relationship or a family yet; she wants to concentrate on school. However, she still wants to have fun and practice relationship skills. So she picks up guys who are only in town for a few days to a few months. One of them -- and she's not sure which -- left her pregnant after a contraceptive failure. Dayana has no way to reach the possible father(s) and doesn't want to keep the baby. Her parents are pressuring her to get an abortion, which she is completely unwilling to do. Not knowing what else to do, she turns to her cousing Danys for help.
Qualities: Good (+2) Compassion, Good (+2) Extrovert, Good (+2) Organized, Good (+2) Pretty, Good (+2) Student
Poor (-2) Overbearing Parents
Dayana is Aquarius with Capricorn rising.
