| + | Middle school was hard on Adrian. His reckless behavior only worsened, and he was now acting quite inappropriately with his fellow female classmates, and acted very aggressively to the males. Even at this young age, he spoke provocatively and was quite the flatterer. He'd even go so far as to committing misdemeanors, like shoplifting the newest shoes or shirts. He liked dressing in the latest fashion and acting exaggerated. He liked being the center of attention, after all. By eighth grade, Adrian had dated two popular girls, gotten suspended seven times, and had been getting "D-"'s or lower. His mother (who at this time contracted an illness Adrian refuses to disclose) had to stop working, so Adrian and Marisol both had to step up to the plate. Marisol befriended a woman named Michelle, who sold Avon cosmetics door-to-door. Marisol started to work with the kind, middle-aged Latina woman, and began making money that way. Adrian had to take a graveyard-shift at a local gas station. | ||

Although Adrian Riano may not be the most popular or well-liked hero in the world, few can doubt his talent, and even fewer, his potential to be great. With a disturbing origin and troubled past, his only real therapy is crime-fighting day and night. Although some consider him to be a reckless, foolish youth, he believes in himself, and can overcome most any obstacle. While his powers are not flashy or powerful, he uses his skills and talents to the best of his ability. Forming close ties and bonds with fellow crime-fighters, Adrian is learning everyday, and has become quite the outstanding citizen he's desired to be. Armed with only a tactical suit, some neat tricks up his sleeves, and his--at times--immature wit, he's a force to be reckoned with on the field and off. Making the important life decision and making the jump from Stitch to Moonlighter, he now fights for a greater good, albeit occasionally stumbling along the gray morality he's adopted. It's a tough world out there for a monster to live in, but everyday is a blessing for someone as scarred as Moonlighter.
Appearance
Born on September 30, 1993, to a small middle-class Hispanic family, Adrian Riano opened his arms wide to the world. His family owned a small home in Tucson, Arizona. He wouldn't be alone, however. Just a two minutes after his birth, his twin sister Marisol followed. He found it hard being a brother to someone like his sister. He was never old enough to boss her around or be an authority figure. However, everyone referred to him as being the older brother. When he and his sister were both two, his mysterious biological father abandoned the young family, leaving a jobless Mother to look after the two. Marisol was soon discovered as being deaf, which made raising the two even more difficult. She would often act out of frustration, yet always seemed calm when Adrian was around her, no matter their age.
Growing up with a single mother is not uncommon nowadays, but it was still rough on them. Adrian had to provide for his sister more often than not, whether it was something as simple as making their school lunches, or driving her around in their later years. From a young age, Adrian showed psychological problems. he always liked to be the center of attention; hoping about on one leg, dancing around, or exaggerating stories to get get people to stop and pay attention. It was stressful on the mother, who was constantly trying to bring up her deaf daughter, something the mother was still not prepared for. Adrian didn't realize the frustration he caused on his sister and mother, and it led to sibling rivalry from a young age.
