UMBERTO

From Neuro Island is a living legend of the island.
An old goat with a tender heart and a sly look, who, despite his age, keeps living as if it were always Saturday night.

🧠 Personality:

• Irreverent and charismatic – always ready with a witty remark, often a bit over the top, but impossible to dislike.

• A great talker – loves telling his (probably exaggerated) youthful adventures, always with a glass of whisky in hand.

• A retired Don Juan – despite his rheumatism and walking stick, he never misses a chance to flirt with the ladies at the retirement home.

• Wise… in his own way – dishes out quirky advice and barroom philosophies that, strangely enough, sometimes work.

SALVATORE

An ex Italian-American mobster from Brooklyn, forced to disappear after stepping on the wrong family’s toes. He landed on Neuro Island to “start over,” but in reality, he just can’t stop acting like a boss. He lives in a small shack he calls “La Villa,” decorated with Italian flags, glowing Madonnas, and a poster of Al Pacino.

🧠 Personality:

• Eccentric and theatrical – always speaks in a dramatic tone, even when ordering a coffee.

• Obsessed with family – constantly mentions relatives, even though he hasn’t seen them in 10 years.

• Proudly Italian – cooks only pasta, uses hand gestures for everything, and calls everyone compare (“buddy”).

• Acts as an “advisor” to anyone who asks… and to plenty who don’t.

• Convinced he still has “connections” in the old world, though in reality, no one’s looking for him!

Miguel

“El Taco”

The undisputed king of the taquería “Taco y Birra 24/7”, Miguel is an explosion of colors, flavors, and music. Always wearing a sauce-stained apron and a slightly crooked sombrero, you’ll find him behind the counter serving tacos as if they were works of art.

🧠 Personality:

• Epically selective: If it’s not a taco, he won’t touch it. Once refused a birthday cake saying, “Where’s the tortilla?”

• Beer aficionado: Can spot a warm beer from 30 feet away. Every problem can be solved with “una cerveza y dos tacos.”

• Chill vibes: Always relaxed, speaks slowly with a musical accent, and ends every sentence with “amigo” or “hermano.”

• Philosophical: “Life is like a taco… better if it’s double and with hot sauce.”

• Siesta king: Sleeps wherever he lands

  hammock, sand, bench as long as there’s shade.

ALBERTO

No one really knows where he comes from. He swears he’s from Naples, but his accent changes every two sentences—sometimes Sicilian, sometimes Argentine… and once, someone swore they heard him speaking German to a fisherman.

He introduces himself as “the best Italian pizzaiolo on the island”, but his ingredients raise a few eyebrows: pineapple, goat sausage, and a mysterious green cheese he claims is “a family secret.”

🧠 Personality:

• Born performer: Changes his life story depending on who’s listening.

• Sly fox: Gives out free pizzas… but only to those who bring him fresh gossip about what’s happening on the island.

• Competitive: Challenges anyone to a “dough battle” and gets offended if they refuse.

• Suspicious: Keeps an old chest locked behind the oven, claiming it holds “special flour.” No one’s ever seen it opened.

• Survivor: Whatever his real origins, he moves like someone who’s running from something… or someone.

On Neuro Island, he’s loved for his outrageous pizzas and wild stories.
But everyone still wonders: Alberto… is that really your name? 😏

PANDALINA

The undisputed queen of Neuro Island’s retirement home, Pandalina is a fiery woman with a booming voice and an infectious laugh… always armed with a cane she doesn’t actually need, which she wields like a scepter to boss everyone around.

She claims the island’s heat “dehydrates her far too easily”, which is why she never parts with her bottle of cheap wine (affectionately called “my elixir of life”).

🧠 Personality:

• Authoritative: When she walks into a room, everyone goes silent.

• Protective… in her own way: Knows how to take care of everyone, but does it with a mix of yelling, scolding, and advice shouted from across the room.

• Clever: Uses her cane to point, threaten, or grab things from afar—never to walk.

• Relentless drinker: Says wine “keeps her cool” and that water is “for tourists.”

• Steel-trap memory: Remembers every piece of gossip she’s ever heard and retells it with dramatic detail.

On Neuro Island, Pandalina is respected, feared, and… slightly avoided in the early morning hours.
But heaven help the soul who tries to take away her bottle. 🍷😏

PANCETTA

A legendary figure (at least according to him), Pancetta claims to have sailed every sea in the world, from the Arctic to the Tropics, and to know every port like the back of his hand… yet somehow, he can’t swim—even with floaties.

He proudly says he’s “an ex-sailor, but not an ex-alcoholic,” and is always seen wearing a battered captain’s hat and holding a bottle, which he insists is “for balance.”

🧠 Personality:

• Serial storyteller: Spins epic tales of storms, naval battles, and mermaids in love… all suspiciously similar to old movie plots.

• Proud: Dare to question his sea career, and he’ll launch into a three-hour monologue.

• Land-challenged: Moves as if he’s forever on a ship in rough seas, even on solid ground.

• Perfect drinking buddy: Will never let your glass run empty—provided you don’t let his run empty either.

• Life philosophy: “If I can’t swim, at least I can float… with a barrel of rum.”

On Neuro Island, he’s respected for his stories and feared for his ability to drain any alcohol supply in under a day.

MOANA

The undisputed ruler of Neuro Island’s nightlife, Moana is an explosive mix of charm, eccentricity, and ruthless business sense. She always wears flashy outfits, feathers, and jingling jewelry, and her gaze can shift in a second from a seductive smile to arctic cold.

Everyone—and I mean everyone—falls at her feet, from the island’s mayor to the last drunk tourist. Yet she seems to have only two passions: money… and Neuro. Too bad he’s not her type, though that doesn’t stop her from keeping an eye on him like a long-term investment.

🧠 Personality:

• Ruthless businesswoman: No one negotiates prices with Moana. Those who try end up paying more.

• Mysterious: No one knows where she really lives. Some say it’s a luxury villa, others claim it’s a secret room above the club.

• Strategic seductress: Uses charm as a weapon, but only when it serves her business.

• Pragmatic: If it doesn’t make a profit, she’s not interested. Period.

• Connected to Neuro: She teases him, helps him, and puts him in trouble… always with an ulterior motive.
