personality: What one can say about David Della Rocco is that he lacks a distinct filtering of his brain. Be it action or words, he either doesn't think or just doesn't care. It mostly seems to be the former, however. As a result, he's often a foul-mouthed, wise-cracking, joke telling asshole who would probably talk you to death.

Rocco is known as "The funny man" in the ranks of the Yakavetta family. He's known to be able to make people laugh, and is quite famous for it in the local area.

Rocco is a package boy and numbers runner for the Yakavetta family. A low-rank peon in the mob structure. He's been a member since he was 18 and in high school, but never really scaled the ranks. Before joining the MacManus brothers on their crusade, he was shown to be willing to do anything to get a head start.

Despite being in the mob, he's kept in close with Connor and Murphy MacManus. Probably because he isn't a bad guy. All he does is fetch stuff and take people places. He's never really killed anyone for the Yakavetta family.

Rocco gets easily frustrated and flustered when things don't go his way. He's easily spooked and scared, causing him to backpedal, stammer and try to talk his way out of the situation.

Easily, his wit is his main weapon. He's not particularily tough, nor skilled, in anything than his own tounge. He's capable of insulting anyone and everyone by either being crude, or making jokes at their expense.

Rocco also gets over-excited, which has caused the brothers to be hesitant in giving him too much to do in their work. In Rocco's own words, he often seems to be on 'bitch detail', which usually consists of dealing with the innocents that happen to get in the way. He often does this a little over-zealously, threatening them too much, being too rough and such. The brothers have had to call him on it a few times.

Once Rocco gets started, it's very hard to calm him down. If he gets angry, he usually tends to go off the deep end, ranting and raving, occasionally going berzerk and uncontrollable. It's still very easy to derail him with the right word or action, however.

Due to all this, his lack of mental filter especially, Rocco comes across as a bit of an idiot. A loud-mouthed, unthinking, troublemaker, who is usually seen as unnecessarily violent, offensive and downright unpleasant.

He's also extremely selfish, joining the brother's crusade mostly to further his own goals. That said, he resorts to more extreme measures in getting the job done. An example is dragging a priest into a church confessional and threatening him to influence an FBI agent. The same FBI Agent he was forbidden to kill by the brothers.

Despite all this, David Della Rocco is a good man on the inside. It just takes a lot of digging to find the good buried beneath the years of being trodden on as a low-level mob peon, and breaking the mentality that has been programmed in him; that you can't just take what you want and do what you want. There has to be rules in everything.

abilities/powers: General, run-of-the-mill human. No super-hero or super-human powers. Barely adequate gun-man, witty, but other than that, normal.

first-person sample: Okay, this is not what I signed up for, man...

[He shifts slightly, nervous, obviously]

I can take bein' fuckin' dead. That ain't a problem. It's the whole, y'know... Still bein' here. I was expectin' hell or somethin', not some creepy-ass city.

[A pause as he sighs]

Someone mind tellin' me what the fuck is goin' on?

third person sample: Rocco was finding it hard to concentrate on driving. Vinchenzo, that fat fuck! Rocco always knew that the underboss didn't like him, ever since the day he started. He just got that feeling. And if what the brothers had said was true...

No, it couldn't be. Things didn't work like that, no fuckin' way. Back-stabbing deals and stuff only happened in movies and television. Yeah, that's where Connor got this crackpot idea from. Yeah...

Something catches his eye in the footwell. One of the guns Connor was using. The careless fuck must've dropped it. Sheep-headed idiot. Still...

Rocco pulls up opposite the Lakeview Deli. He doesn't get out, though, reaching down and picking up the gun. He stares at the weapon for a few moments, mulling things over in his head.

"Nah, there's no fuckin' way. It don't work like that... I'll go in, take the glory, and get out better off'n I've ever been..." His brain, however, wasn't paying attention to whatever shit his mouth was spewing. All his brain could think of was the condascending look on Vinchenzo's shit-eating face, and how good it would look full of lead.

He glances around and spots a payphone nearby, pocketing the gun and getting out.

Time to get the truth.
