They always say I look like Rio looks a lot like your typical Mexican immigrant, and can be incredibly intimidating, but really, he's a pretty darn nice guy. He looks pretty mean, but it's mostly because of his build and the fact that he pretty much shaves all his hair off. It sort of gives him the Mexican gangster look, which most people are afraid of, and rightly so, considering that most Mexican gangsters are only going to try to kill you. Rio's not like that though.
After mentioning his build, I suppose I should probably go into greater detail. When Rio first immigrated to the States, he worked like most immigrants do, on various landscaping things and even some construction type stuff. Now because of this, he got himself into pretty darn pristine condition. It was while working on this "crew" that he got framed for robbery by one of the other guys who really didn't like him which sent him to jail. In jail, the only thing to do is basically work out, so he got even more toned than he was before. Basically, he's the sort of guy who everybody always asks to open the pickle jar when they can't do it.
Since he is Mexican, obviously, he is quite a bit darker than most people up in West Virginia, and sort of stands out like a sore thumb, but he doesn't really care. He's honestly quite proud of the fact that he started out as a poor Mexican with nothing, to being a fairly successful mechanic and part time cook. Sure, not the most glorious jobs in the world, but he'd good at it, and enjoys doing it. His eyes are a dark brown, almost black, that always seem to be either laughing at or chastising someone. When he grows his hair out, it's very black, and very curly, borderline ringlets...which is why he shaves it all off.

I am Rio Eduardo Santos is a sort of confusing person. First of all, he looks like he is going to kill you, but will suddenly be laughing at some joke between him and a friend. Secondly, he looks like the jail type, and has been in jail, but the only illegal thing he's ever done was to come into the States illegally, and got an official green card illegally...no big deal right? Good thing Austin knows how to make it impossible to track him, otherwise the both of them would be in jail. Anyway, back to personality.
Rio is the kind of person who takes everything very seriously. If you do something for him, you can bet he'll look for every opportunity to do something for you. If you do something that betrays him, you can bet you'll end up with a huge problem courtesy, Rio. He gets a lot of crap for his name from people who are trying to offend him, but it never works. He's been alive for 20 years, obviously, he's gotten used to that sort of thing by now. He has almost no patience at all though, and if you ask him to wait for five minutes, you had better be there in five minutes, or he'll be gone, and it won't be easy to get a hold of him again.
He's a very hard worker, and is always willing to do whatever odd jobs you need done. Especially when it comes to cars. If you're car's got a dead battery, a leaking hose...whatever...he'll be more than happy to fix it, no charge. Of course, if he does that, and then needs your help later on, he will definitely expect you to help him out as a way of thanking him for doing that. He holds people to their word, and if they break it, you can bet he'll be incredibly angry about it. Betrayal of trust is the one thing that he has a hard time forgiving.
» I Know I Won't Be Home At All;
I Came From Eduardo Santos, 50, aluminum plant manager, Marisa Santos, 49, retired
I Share My Dna With none
I Come From Mexicali Mexico
But I Live Here Now Pinewood West Virginia
This Is Who I was Mexicali is one of the poorest cities in the world. The whole place is crawling with corruption, sickness, and poverty. It's really no place to raise a kid, but there are countless children running around on the streets. On nearly every street corner there's a hooker trying to lure some "deprived" man into their bed. Really it's one of the most trashy places you could possibly live, and that's exactly why Rio escaped the place to come live in the United States.
About a year before his run across the border, a group from California came down to do some work in the city, and he met a young guy by the name of Austin who was incredibly terrible at Spanish, and Rio wasn't all that great at English...but despite the language barrier between them, they both seemed to enjoy laughing at one another's inability to communicate. Shortly after they met and buddied up, they found out that Alex, Austin's girlfriend, spoke pretty good Spanish, and could be their translator when they couldn't figure out what the other was trying to say. By the time they had to leave, Austin, Alex, and Rio were all pretty close.
None of them saw each other again after that in Mexico, but when Rio crossed the border, who did he run into but Austin. By this time, Rio was quite a bit better at English than before, but Austin still didn't know Spanish beyond 'hola.' When Rio told him that he was trying to lay low cause the feds would deport him if they found him, Austin told him to just keep doing that for another three days, and he'd fix it so he wouldn't have to do that...of course, coming from Austin that meant he was going to hack somebody and make Rio legal in the States, and that's exactly what he did.
He'd hacked the FBI for crying out loud, he could totally hack the Department of Homeland Secuirty's Immigration Department without a problem. Three days later, Rio ran into Austin again, and Austin handed him an "official" green card. He'd run it through the immigration department and listed Rio's home address as his own, and walah, totally legit green card shows up in the mail a couple of days later. Of course, Austin had ensured that no one would ever find out that an outside source had done all that, but just in case, he suggested that Rio get out of California as quickly as possible.
So Rio ended up in West Virginia doing landscaping. Unfortunately, one of the white guys didn't like him, or how their boss favored Rio so much because of his hard work ethic. So he framed Rio for robbery, and it was into jail for him. In jail, his cell mate was a guy about his age who seemed pretty mad at the world. He'd come in with bandaging on from getting shot three times. He was only 17, and Rio, 18. After the initial anger of getting caught and shot passed, he found out quite a bit about Tyler. He wasn't really sure why the guy was telling him everything he was, but whatever, it wasn't like either of them had anything better to do locked in a cell all day long. Sure, Rio could have gone down to the gym during the day, but for some reason or another he decided to hang out with Tyler until he was well enough to go down there too.
After a year, both of them were let out two days apart. Rio first, then Tyler. He didn't ever see him again after that either, but that didn't surprise him. Guys like Tyler seemed to blend in with the wood work whenever they could, and he figured that was what he was doing. He got a job later on at the Blue Bird Diner in town as a cook...they had a lot of Mexican guys working there, so he fit in with the crowd pretty well there...plus he was good at it and enjoyed doing it, so he saw no reason why not. He didn't really look like the cooking type, but he sure was. Besides, here these guys liked him and he wouldn't have to worry about going back to jail again or anything like that.
This Is Who I am I can't complain. It's not the best life I could ask for, and at this rate it's going to be years before I can get my family up here, but hey, at least I'm not in jail no more...$10.00 is way better than the $0.19 you get paid in there for workin twice as hard.
