chicago’s very own alfredo ‘ fredo ’ acosta has been spotted on madison avenue driving a ferrari laferrari , welcome ! your resemblance to rome flynn is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty - fifth birthday bash . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re headstrong , but being ambitious might help you . i think being a cancer explains that . three things that would paint a better picture of you would be hidden notebooks , the sound of a dribbling basketball & sips of dom pérignon . ( i slept with my agent’s wife so i could get signed . )

* ◞ 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 .
ok so once upon a time , javier acosta played for the chicago bulls . he was brilliant & made a name for himself . while playing , he met michelle grant , a socialite who cheered for the team . the two fell in love quickly , married just six months after dating & eventually came fredo . to take care of his family , javier retired from playing but received a position on the staff , while three years later , michelle took over her family’s business . note : his sister , giselé , was born out of wedlock a year before fredo’s birth .
even at a young age , people could see fredo’s potential . with a bright smile , charismatic personality & a little too much ambition for the average kid , he was always destined to be great . with the help of his father , he found a passion in basketball , & began playing at a young age . he was the kid you’d be afraid of during p.e. because you just know he’s the best . of course , his father was proud to have his own mini - me & wanted him to be as great as he was .
enter troy bolton ! during high school , he also realized he loved music . he enjoyed singing & discovered he wasn’t bad at it , & writing songs for fun became more of a passion than a hobby . when practice was over , he was teaching himself how to play guitar in the school’s music room & at night when he was supposed to be preparing for the big game , he was up writing . he proposed the idea of attending college for music , but his father insisted he couldn’t be both an athlete & an artist . so , fredo kept his love for music hidden to the public eye , concluding maybe he wasn’t good enough to pursue both passions anyway . senior year came along & he received offers from duke university , ucla , university of kentucky & other amazing colleges , but he decided to stay close to home , attending university of illinois . he majored in kinesiology , but unknowingly to his family , he also minored in literature .
he was an extraordinary student in high school , graduating as valedictorian of his class , so college was no different for fredo . no doubt came the frat parties & reckless activity , but his grades remained excellent . his love for music & writing broadened during this time , but still , he was afraid of what others would think , especially his father , for he wanted to make him proud & merely be just like him . still , he found himself continuing to write songs , mostly about love , & soon , he covertly began writing novels as well . he could never finish them , never having the inspiration to , but if anyone found them , they could see how great his career would take off .
so here comes his secret . just before graduating from college , fredo’s father hired his close friend to be his agent , named reggie . over negotiations & other discussions , javier & reggie had a falling out : basically , reggie believed fredo should wait before trying to pursue a career in the nba , but javier & fredo both disagreed . reggie quit , just as soon as the the brooklyn nets showed interest in fredo . as a desperate act , fredo seduced reggie’s wife , georgina , into a one night stand & blackmailed her . eventually , she convinced reggie to regain his position as agent to help ‘ this young kid be the man he needs to be . ’
fredo was soon drafted to the nba to play for the brooklyn nets . he made his debut by scoring thirty - six points in his first game against the los angeles lakers , six more than his father did in any game ; no one was surprised by fredo’s abilities , as he was trained by the great javier . but today , he’s more of a renowned player than his father was . ( his status is similar to kyrie irving . ) his basketball career is successful & he’s grateful , but what about his other passions ? when will he reveal his talent in singing , or writing ? troy bolton vc : my head’s in the game but my heart’s in the song
* ◞ 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 .
he’s incredibly friendly & polite , a gentleman i must say ! he goes out of his way to make others happy , especially those he loves , who he’s fiercely loyal to & holds close to his heart .
don’t get it #twisted though . boy has a temper . 🔥 he’s protective over his loved ones & will defend them with words or fists . he can be sarcastic & a little dramatic . ( x ) if he’s ever a dick , 7/10 he doesn’t realize it & will feel bad later :/
he’s very aware of his talent & potential in the basketball realm . this can make him vain at times , but mostly , he’s humble . but still insecure about his art !
a hopeless romantic tbh . boy can get around , but he loves the idea of love .
* ◞ 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 .
as stated above , his singing voiceclaim is miguel ! he wrote sky walker for fun while drunk , & an unfinished song , girl with the tattoo enter.lewd ( could be inspired by someone . wc 👀 ) more to come !
ok a huge reason why he hides his unfinished novels is because they’re in the romance genre ! his books are like nicholas sparks . fictional with some real life tied in the writing , always dedicated to someone ( again a wc 👀 . ) he has several shoved in his closet , just collecting dust .
* ◞ 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 .
( f / m / nb ) : ok i want his cousins , closely related or not !
( f ) : an ex - girlfriend he had an almost with , preferably a chicago native . they were so in love to the point where they planned a wedding & a future together overall . everyone knew them as the ‘ it couple . ’ but maybe the girlfriend moved to new york first & that caused trouble for both of them , resulting in their separation . whether they’re on good terms or not can be determined , but she will definitely have to be his inspiration for one of his songs or books .
( f ) : ^ more exes are appreciated !
( f ) : friends with benefits , infatuation .
( f / m / nb ) : best friends , party friends , bad / good influence , rivals , unlikely friends , friends that had a falling out
( m ) : a roommate or two ! they be fuckin shit up together in a mansion 😈
( m ) : basketball or just athlete bros :/ chad danforth & troy bolton vibez pls #theboysareback
( f ) : unrequited love , where fredo is in love with your muse . she’s his muse & motivation . maybe she knows , maybe he doesn’t , but either way , she doesn’t feel the same . just break his heart plz * sad violin *
( f / m / nb ) : ^ unrequited love but vice versa
keeping this list short bc i’m truly down for anything , & i figure it might be best to plot based on our characters & chemistry ! muah love u
i’m such an asshole but i’m also a very kind-hearted person who likes making ppl happy and if i love u i will love u with all my heart and all my soul but then i’m also such an asshole
