Mateo is a loud and sometimes obnoxious "attention-seeker" who is the singer of indie band Trance Dancer. He does what he can to keep the spotlight on him and is always "playing around;" he is not trying to be malicious with this pursuit of attention. He wears revealing clothing and likes to have his picture taken. He likes to bowl and juggle and secretly enjoys magical girl shows.

Personality overview

Major compensator. Flirtatious disposition. Sometimes “mean” or doesn’t realise if the joke is going too far. Whenever he gets upset (angry), it’s a little scary; this is mostly due to the contrast from his typical lighthearted self and not because he gets violent, or anything. Seems a little absent-minded. Gullible (and perpetuator of lies towards other gullible people).


Quirks & Habits

Annoyed by religion. Has a “fear” of the government; conspiracy theorist. Gets annoyed when things are too tidy. Has a speech impediment of some kind (only partially due to his retainer). Can't read sheet music.


Communication skills

Mateo is very quick to complain when things don't go his way or he feels slighted in some way. He almost never discusses how he "actually" feels and is rather terrified of such discussions.


Showing affection

Mateo is extremely touchy. He is overly friendly verbally as well, often overstating his fondness for other people. While this makes it easier for him to slide his way into social groups, it makes it somewhat harder for people to think he's not being "fake."

Story

Breakdown

More details to be added.

Mateo was always the “terribly loud” child. He enjoyed attention, though he would often receive negative attention along with positive. It didn’t make much difference to him. It made him thrive.

As he grew older, his behavior became more provocative, but as his parents had more children and took on other responsibilities, it was hard to keep him as in check as they used to. He wore revealing clothes, though he would often change when arriving at school, since he wasn’t daft enough to think to leave the house in the outfits he put together. He began to grow an interest in music and enjoyed singing or rapping along to his favourite songs. He liked to bowl, impress others with his ability to juggle, and had a guilty pleasure in magical girl shows.

Since he had little friends due to his seemingly abrasive personality, he struggled to connect with others. He continued to do his little acts for attention and was regularly reprimanded for doing so. He didn’t mind it much. He skipped classes to find people to chat with or boast to and would frequently disrupt class to joke around. People found him funny enough, if not just because he seemed to embarrass himself. He struggled in school not only because of his desire for attention but also due to his issues with focusing.


Joining the Band

Eventually, he met Jude. Jude was receptive enough to Mateo’s behaviour, more so than most people, and eventually the two formed a more developed school friendship. Since Jude could play drums and Mateo could sing, the two hatched a plan to start a band. Recruiting the other members was a struggle at first, but it worked out for them.

Mateo and Jude continued to manage the group after its creation. Jude focused more on online stuff and Mateo focused more on IRL stuff. Of course, the other members began to contribute as well.

Extras

Trivia

  • Pinterest.
  • He tries to go by the name "Mateo Blu" in the music scene.
  • He has ADHD. Supposedly, he may have HPD and an eating disorder.
  • He can also play bass, but he isn't very good at it.
  • His tentative singing voice claims so far have been Mickey Darling, Declan McKenna (less English), and The Band Ice Cream. I feel he'd have a certain accent/speech affect that would come up sometimes (light spanish accent/somewhat related minor speech impairment(s)). He is likely a tenor.
  • I usually imagine him (and the band) performing the song that is attached to his code, but this is partially because it feels instrumentally fitting for TD; Barnes does not vocally fit Mateo other than for some inflections that feel analogous stylistically. The song "I Wanna Have You" by Sweet Spirit fits the vibe of a Mateo-Naomi duet to me, but it doesn't necessarily fit him vocally.
  • For the colour palette below, I only really care about his skin colour being accurate; I don't mind if the other colours are a little off.
  • I'm still working out what his moodboard images should be.
