Background
Personality: Manny isn't the most talkative person at first. He could come off as very stand-offish, even unapproachable, but he is a sweet and kind once someone gets to know him.He will not let someone be alone unless he is told to. He is caring and more than willing to help others if they need to.However, Manny is a very tormented man. He does not handle his own emotions well (despite being good with others'), and often he will shut down or express himself in moments of high-tense emotions. Majority of the time, he refuses to handle his emotions at all.
Be it his grief, his trauma, or something that happened in the moment; he suppresses it as much as he can because his job and others come first.Manny is very humble, very appreciative of what he's got even if he does not believe he desreves any of it. He's a devoted and loyal man (almost to a fault sometimes), and nearly worships the people he holds within his heart.He can be sarcastic/teasing, doesn't take everything serious - only the things he knows he needs to.Finally, he's got a big heart and feels things very deeply even if he does not show it right away. He's a good man, an even better soldier and/or weapon. Whatever someone needs him to be. He's driven and stubborn, but he never forgets where home is.Backstory: TW: Mentions of abuse and suicide.
Born a twin with his older sister, Cora, to his parents, Jeremy and Esmeralda Luna, their childhood was somewhat of a “picture-perfect” story. However, as Manny and Cora got older, they started to realize that their father was not the man they thought he was—whatever that might’ve been for them. He would drink a lot, and that came with a lot of anger that Jeremy would physically release onto Esmeralda, and eventually, verbally onto the twins. This treatment had led Esmeralda to fall into her already developing depression. She felt trapped, guilty for the man she chose to burden her children with, guilty for leaving another family she already had before coming to America, back in Las Almas, in hopes of bringing on a better life to Rudy and her high school sweetheart, Fransico Parra. Unfortunately, the growing violence at home with Jeremy led to Esmeralda taking her life, and Manny was the one to find her body after coming into her bedroom to ask for a band-aid as he had fallen out in the front yard riding his skateboard.Following the death of his mother when he was only ten, Manny had spent his childhood/teen years teaching himself how to become the “perfect” soldier. He was aggressive, hot-headed, and always finding himself in some trouble, especially at the hands of his own father when he’d get home.Once graduating from high school, Manny joined the Marines. He graduated at the top of his class, excelling in physical fitness and marksmanship, and was ranked as a Lance Corporal. He served for eight years before being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant and enlisting in the special forces. Manny was placed in Shadow Company alongside his best friend, Phillip Graves, where he’d gained the nickname of “Hush” for being the one to move quickest and quietest, but overall silent when it came to conversation with anyone he wasn’t close with.After Graves’ betrayal in Las Almas, Manny chose to join JTF-Ghost Team to assist in the siege of Los Vaqueros’ base and the take down of Shadow Company. When that was done, Manny went on his own until Kate Laswell approached him in a bar and offered a job opportunity. Manny worked under Laswell as a bounty hunter for three months, was promoted to Captain. After completing his work, Kate Laswell had suggested Manny to Captain John Price as an addition to the team. After careful consideration, Price officially recruited him to TF141, where he is currently serving. In his time here, Manny would grow fond of every member of Task Force 141, considering all of them to be his closest friends. Later on, he would come to know Rudy and Alejandro more. During one of the times, 141 and Los Vaqueros were doing a joint mission, Rudy had seen a picture of his mother fall from Manny's vest, discovering that they both shared the same mother, yet never knew the other existed until then.
