Profile
Manuel is presently a freelance PR Consultant. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason to his clientele, which has included everything from businesses to individual performers. In honesty, taken as a whole, his PR track record has not been great, but he's apparently a solid enough salesman to stay not only in business, but successful. His name resurfaces in the press once in a while, but the media seems to lose interest in him swiftly.

Sheet
Description
The term 'aristocratic' could spring to mind. De la Rocha's features are symmetrical and angular, with a long face and a strong, sharp jawline. His eyes are of a deep enough brown to appear black, contrasting a somewhat pale complexion and light ash-brown hair. It's difficult to find Manuel when he isn't meticulously groomed and clean-shaven, looking as though he's prepared for a red carpet or executive interview, somewhere.
History
Manuel is the son of an impoverished Castilian noble. While inordinately proud of this heritage, he has largely abandoned his family and has little interest in their current status or well-being. It was a simple trick of manipulation to find himself a free ride to NYU, where he coasted his way to a degree in Media and Communications.
Personality
Abilities
BROADCAST EMPATH
Empath is able to manipulate neurochemicals in the brain in order to change a target's emotional state. This can be focused on an individual in line of sight with strong precision, or directed at a group with a single more broad emotional state. Use of this ability causes Empath's eyes to glow. Serious trauma, depression, or insanity can make a target resistant to Empath's influence. With individuals, the strength of Empath's influence can range from subtle to fully hypnotic. (OOC Note: Empath's abilities are heavily consent-based, and his player is quite approachable and open to discussion. )
EMPATHY
Skills
CHARISMA
Even without his abilities, Manuel is polished and at least superficially charming.
DANCE
Even sociopaths have hobbies. While not a professional, Manuel has a fondness for dance. Ballroom dancing in general, and the Spanish Bolero in particular are his specialties. He is a moderately talented amateur.
LANGUAGE
Manuel is fluent in Spanish and English.
MANIPULATION
Manuel is extremely accomplished at getting what we wants through the use of others. More than just simple unplanned abuse of his mutant abilities, he is excellent at researching and/or intuiting just who to manipulate in what way to accomplish specific goals.
MEDIA
Resources
OFFICE
Manuel is leasing a fairly impressive suite that doubles as his home and office. Though his clients tend to overpay him, he hasn't actually paid the rent in months, finding it more entertaining to manipulate the landlord in a variety of ways.
WEALTH
Weaknesses
EMPATHY
Manuel is constantly bombarded by the emotions of people around him. He tends to focus on or augment single strong emotions upon which to focus in order to keep from being overwhelmed.
SOCIOPATH
Manuel suffers a distinct lack of compassion for one that is a literal 'Empath'. He has no hesitation in making use of his power to manipulate others, and although he does possess a good deal of superficial charm, he does show little interest in hiding his lack of concern for others.
