Description
Carlos is not an especially large man, but he is very solidly built. He wears his black hair very short and usually maintains a somber expression.

Bio
Carlos grew up on the mean streets of Sao Paolo. At the age of 11 he started hanging around on a street corner near a Jiu-Jitsu school. One of the instructors took an interest in the quiet kid with the serious expression and started letting him watch classes. Carlos was hooked and was soon working out in the gym daily. He cleaned the place and did odd jobs to pay for his training and became something of a school mascot. This kept him too busy to get involved with the gangs that were rampant in the area, though he had a few run-ins with them. By the time he was 15 he had left home (his family having more or less disintegrated in the meantime) and moved into the back room of the school.
Now a young man, earning a salary teaching at the school, Carlos has started competing regionally. Last year placed fifth in his weight class in a national tournament. He is determined to build a career for himself and eventually hopes to move to america to open a Jiu-Jitsu school of his own. As part of that goal he has taken English language courses at the local college and is looking forward to scouting out America.
His teacher Gastão Rodrigues is about to compete in a Vale Tudo tournament in Los Angeles. Carlos was to accompany him, but the airline overbooked the flight and Carlos got bumped. They re-routed him through Chile and now he's traveling alone to LA.

Last but not least, Ooga-Buga's character;
-----------------------------------------------
Hum...my character: A bright young lass, my character (Aysha) lives in Death Valley. Dream of being president (or some other position of importance), but has issues of being in any of position of power due to gender. Till the world gets over the sexism thing, she is having to work as a consultant for a salt mining company named....Galithorn and Sons(?).

She has little as far as worldly possessions, which may contribute to her lack of politician (no real campaign). Aysha lives alone in a solar powered Winnebago and gets around on a dirt bike. She has little need for anything other than gas, food and water.

My character hates her job, but loves to help others. Everyone few years, she will go on a six-month contract for the JFK Peace Corps. In this case she was sent to South America to help educate the public on their AIDs epidemic.

Dress shoes as well as some casual Merrells. A comb and one of those things you roll over your clothes in order to get hair off (you know...).
