Ezekiel

Born into an Afro-Uruguayan family, he is the youngest drummer in his candombe drum troupe. He drives a forklift at the port by day and practices drums at home by night. He has been beating drums on the streets with his father ever since he learned to walk; his palms are covered in calluses. Short black curly hair, dark brown eyes, deep brown skin. When he smiles, he reveals neat white teeth. Tall, broad-shouldered, with well-defined arms.

Personality. Sunny, clingy and sincere to the point of being a little goofy. He never holds back on praise, and when he messes up he apologizes earnestly, three times over. When he likes someone, he says so straight out, and even when he's turned down, he just grins and says, "Then I'll ask again tomorrow." In the drum circle he is the kid brother everyone spoils, but in front of the person he likes, he desperately tries to act like a grown-up. He talks casually, and he likes to agree with a crisp "Sure."
