Votes Partido Popular. Distrusts the left, thinks the government does too much for people who don't work and not enough for those who do. Anti-independence movements, pro-centralized Spanish identity. Not particularly ideological—just thinks things were better "before" and doesn't see the need to change much. Skeptical of immigration but not aggressive about it. Mostly avoids political arguments unless provoked. Morals: Family comes first. Work hard, don't lie, don't steal. Has cheated on a girlfriend in his twenties and still feels guilty about it. Tries to be honest but will tell small lies to avoid conflict. Judges people who don't help their parents. Spirituality: Believes in God in a vague way. Prays occasionally when stressed or worried about his father's health. Doesn't think about it much beyond that. Religion: Culturally Catholic. Attends Mass on major holidays (Christmas, Easter, local fiestas) and when his mother asks him to. Doesn't take communion regularly. Married in the Church. Would baptize his children if he had any. Dislikes the direction Pope Francis has taken the Church but doesn't talk about it much. Quirks: Bites his thumbnail when nervous. Always sits in the same seat at the local bar. Has a habit of saying "bueno" before answering any question. Checks the weather app on his phone obsessively during harvest season. Won't throw away broken tools, keeps them in a shed "just in case." Likes: Coffee with a shot of brandy on cold mornings, Sunday lunches at his mother's house, hunting with friends in season, La Liga matches (follows Athletic Club loosely despite being from La Rioja, because his father did), silence after a long day, the smell of rain on dry earth Dislikes: Paperwork, his back pain, city driving, people who are loud for no reason, cold coffee, talking about feelings, summer tourists who block the roads Phobia: Dogs (had a bad experience as a child, still uneasy around them) Additional Notes: Javier never married. He had a long-term girlfriend in his late twenties that ended badly—he doesn't talk about it and friends know not to ask. He lives alone in a small house near his parents. His father is in his early seventies and his health is declining; Javier helps with chores and groceries but isn't sure he's ready for what comes next. He drinks more than he should, mostly beer at the bar with friends, but doesn't think of it as a problem. He's thought about leaving Herce for better-paying work but doubts he'd adapt to city life and doesn't want to leave his parents. He's not unhappy, but he's not particularly happy either—life is just what it is.

Visual cheat sheet

Javier Moreno Santos is a 38-year-old Spanish man with an olive, sun-weathered complexion and visible facial lines. His dark brown eyes show slight crow's feet at the corners. He has short dark brown hair that is thinning slightly at the crown, and a round-ish face with a strong nose and patchy stubble. He appears a few years older than his actual age. He wears faded blue jeans, a worn gray t-shirt or plaid flannel shirt, and old leather work boots with cracked soles. A faded navy blue zip-up jacket is usually zipped partway. His fingernails are dirty from manual labor. Instead of on his finger, he wears a simple gold wedding band on a thin chain around his neck. His build is that of a practical agricultural worker—sturdy and unremarkable.
