Raphael Macina

Raphael Silvio Macina (known as 'Raph' to friends, 'Raphael' to family, 'The Boss' to co-workers and 'Raphdawg' to enemies worldwide) (born January 24, 1987) is a veryaccomplished Australian actor, musician, writer, director, producer, chef, and satirist. He is known in digital media circles for blatantly avoiding the use of industry-recognised software and techniques, and uses Microsoft PowerPoint to produce graphics and other material for broadcast.

Raph gained local stardom for his work on Late-Night Newsline (a 7-minute auteur project for his TAFE course) and for his tonight show, which never made it to air, Macina Tonisht.

Early Life and Career
Back in Ye Olden Days, Raph first caught the acting bug during a Year 5 class play based on Shakespeare's most notable piece of noted work, [insert title here]. Performing the role of King [name goes here], he was positioned at the front of the class and engaged in an outstanding performance alongside his wonderfully cute co-actors: Amanda Dawson, who played his wife in the play; and Cate Handley, who played his daughter.

In 1999, Raph attended Oak Flats High School and once again fell into the desire to involve himself with the media industry. In a joint venture with Thomas Sullivan, 2000 saw the launch of their new greeting card, turned media empire, the Raphael-Thomas Corporation (R&T Corp). In 2002, he partnered with Shaun Simon and enlisted the help of Jon Westaway, Ben McLean, Steven Troy and Darran Wood to create The School Dream, a website for the modern student. Several spin-off companies, such as Suny Electronics and Eastinghouse Appliances were launched soon after, but ultimately met a predictable end.

After figuring out that he really, really wanted to do something digital, and in the media industry, Raph enrolled in the Centre for Digital Media and Design college in North Wollongong undertaking a Certificate IV in 2007 and achieving true greatness in 2008 with a Diploma in Digital Media.

Rise to Power
Born not only knowing of his great unmatched power, he had full control over them. Naturally, he is praised by many and believed to be a god because of his super-human abilities, such as the ability to get any one man or woman without even trying, his ability to play the piano and also his immortality.

Future
Raph's true nature and mission is, at present, unknown as he reveals nothing to "mere mortals". His worshipers claim that a so-called "Raphture" is coming and only the true believers will be saved by his awesomeness.
