Levi Martinelli: Deer/Dog. 18 y. Born in Brooklyn, New York. Tattoo Artist/For Hire Larcenist. Innotation: Italian Brooklyn
Levi is the baby of the Martinielli family. He's the only son of Fabrizio and Jovannie Martinelli he was doted on as a child. His family had ties to the Italian mafia and Levi grew up on the outskirts of the organization. His mother sheilded him from the darker side of the organization, though Levi longed to run around with his cousins, busting skulls and shaking people down. He was a pretty wound up kid, always full of energy and never knowing how to properly dispel it. He would spend hours chasing after his older cousins, spying on them as they carried out errands for the don. Though as he got older he mellowed out and when he turned sixteen he found his true passion, art. He had a real talent for painting and thanks in part to a caring art teacher he really honed his craft. Unfortunately for him the death of his father sent him on a dangerous path, he dropped out of school and started dabbling in picking pockets and slight of hand tricks.
He was lucky in that he ran into Rameka after a particularly close call with the law. She sensed his knack for drawing and showed him the ropes of tattoo art. Levi was a quick learner and by his seventeenth birthday he was an offical employee at the Tat Cat. Even though he still had one foot in the mafia world, he didn't have a huge desire to delve into that world. He's content to continue to work at the tattoo parlor though he ocassionaly will lend his 'handiness' to Yury or his uncle when they call on him.
