Unspoken . Music . Passion

Everyone regards him to be the silent and solemn man, who rarely speaks a word and prefers to be by those he is familiar with. However, Motto, as simple and plain he may look to others, is the music mastermind - according to his friends and his future band mates.

His inspiration merely comes from the experience he lives through and reads. From history, to friendship, to family. From the first experience of pain or the eventual wonders; Motto is the composer and the lyricist of his band.

Yet Motto's motives are unclear as to why he plans to pave his way through music. Regardless, he's hellbent in making history with his songs and the tune he plays.

I played for the assembled group, and I felt it! Their voiceless shouts of joy! Their surging passion! Souls clashing with souls, ah, it was a wonderful performance!
This is why music keeps me alive, to be able listen to those voices, the beats of their drums, the strumming of their strings... there is passion that I have constantly striven for. There are feelings that most people cannot pick up when listening to music. It is more than just how they play or what the lyrics mean. 


++++++

Motto is an artistic individual, who is deeply moved by the loyalty of his friends. Though seemingly quiet and introverted, he is a heavy rebel to those that try to control his fate. Otto doesn't provide any minor opinions and is never against anything or anyone (with the exception of any of his relatives). While he may seem staid and unemotional, his heart can be swayed by compassion and sympathy. He can also be a straight-faced comedian, especially in his personal events. Every now and then, he will stoically fib to exploit Regret's unbridled trust in him. He takes jabs at Elliot's snack/junkfood obsession, usually to keep him on his toes. He suckers almost all of his friends to believe he is in love with him/her by purposely rewarding them with gifts and giving them a reason that could throw them off guard - enjoying them flush and fluster. Despite his teasing, his jokes are not mean-spirited as he sincerely treasures his friendships.
For an odd reason, but Motto's mood changes in correlation to the phases of the moon. Whether his temper is at an all-time high or his patience and kindness begins to stick out like a sore thumb. He does know about his father's inhuman character and how his personality changes depending on it being new or being in its full state - yet he still does not make the connection as to why he has these abrupt mood swings.

CHILDHOOD

"I think it's fair that you should do what you love to do! If you want to play the guitar, then do it. There's no one stopping you!"

- Emery

Otto the very middle child of five Northwind children living in Texas, which he believes to be the most unluckiest sibling position to be in. He doesn't get as much attention from his parents as he had before his two younger siblings, hence how became a very independent man who merely withdraws himself from his family. Even in school he's rarely opened up to anyone. The only time where he was ever spending time with others were with two people that he met in California during the summer vacations.

Even if his lack of socializing skills hindered him from making a large number of friends, he still wanted to attract attention and fame - enjoying being watched by an audience. Solely for the fact that he looked up to his elder brother, who left their household to pursue a acting career and had actually hit it pretty big.

He'd pick up a guitar in hopes that music would be a way to get people's attention. Since then he realized that music was his true calling and his talent.

TEENAGE LIFE

"What about making a band? If music is your passion then we should support you, right? We'll make music right besides you."

- Regret

While he continued to practice his talents in guitar, and thought his life would be satisfactory at this point, his parents divorced. All of his siblings who didn't get the opportunity to move away before the divorce has stayed with their mother - a rich, wealthy women, although bratty, had the financial needs to be able to care for her children, whereas the father could not. Motto, decided to take a different turn and followed his father and moved away out of state to live in their summer home in California. There, he meets a familiar childhood friend during his preteens and often clung to her for moral support and to relieve his loneliness. 

ADULTHOOD

"Motto is more than just a talent in music. He's observant, and he's more importantly passionate in his work. Sure, he might not talk much in a regular conversation but when he hits that stage with a guitar and a pick in hand - he's a completely different person. He's rising high. And one look at him, I've fallen in love."

- Valeria

His friends made him realize that Otto should pursue a career in music, and should make his fame making it. However, the band with his friends was only a small time, temporary experience to what Northwind truly wanted.  He respects that not all of his closest friends can pursue the same line of career as his own, hence why he's currently on the search for new and permanent band mates.

He meets Valeria, a friend back in high school that shares many interests with him. Yet, Motto becomes inspired by Valeria's singing voice and insists that she should join him in his musical endeavors. 

TLDR

  • Motto lived in Texas with his parents and four siblings. His older brother moved out later and then his parents divorced.
  • Moved to California with his father and lives with him in their summer house.
  • Very passionate in music and he pursues it with him and his old friends by creating a band together back in highschool.
