Ten Facts About Your Character:
- Marcelo was born and raised in a constant limbo of going between the cities of Lisbon and Porto, due to divorced parents. Because of this, he's kinda gained the qualities of both cities--the up-tight and formality of Lisbon and the casualty and happiness of Porto. He's also grown to love alcohol since his early childhood years but, shhh.
- He's never liked the Spanish and French--mainly because when he was a child, they picked on him and just generally annoyed him for everything. He also doesn't find any of the "Romantic Languages" very Romantic. Just loud.
- When he was a young teenager, Marcelo took a great liking to one of the Porto neighborhood kids. He thought her basically anything she might need to know--basically curse words and the brightest and best spots in the city. After a while, though, they had a big blowout and then she moved away from him, losing touch from him. But he still cares about her and would like to visit her sometime.
- Since his parents were divorced, Marcelo always payed little to no attention to them, trying to focus on comforting his life, instead. Due to this lack of caring, he only realized when his mother died in a robbery of her general store. With one of his main monetary supplies gone, he got a rude awakening at how lax he was in his budget and self-discipline. This deeply changed him.
- Marcelo loves wine, which is absolutely no secret, but he is a connoisseur in it more than a blind drinker. He can be extremely picky in his choices, and will be the first person to help you decide exactly what to drink and what to drink it with.
- He'd like to say he's a gentleman, but that sounds too crude, so he calls himself a tenderman, instead. (This only works in Portuguese, I guess. "Gentleman" is "cavalheiro" and cowboy is "cavaleiro". Which is close. He would instead refer to himself as "polite", which is "educado".)
- Marcelo is a devout Catholic, and therefore wears a cross, but he views the Ten Commandments as more of the Ten Suggestions. He used to strictly go to mass, say his prayers and the like, but he has been recently spending his Sunday mornings sleeping rather than being in mass and downing his food before prayers even cross his mind.
- He actually loves every Portuguese stereotype there is. He has thought once or twice of growing a thick mustache, buying a fancy car and then going to England with a large group of gawky tourists, but always seems to lack the motivation and money to do so. He is naturally a workaholic, though, although no one ever seems to notice it.
- Marcelo has actually tried many times to write a romance novel and publish it, but no one has ever seemed to approve of his manuscript... He doesn't blame it on his cannibalistic heroine, but instead decides to edit his grammar once more. He has written it in Portuguese and English.
- He loves gardening, actually. Very much so. He has many books of flora and fauna in his room, and also grows his own herbs and tea leaves. His mother once tried to kick him out for making his room into a greenhouse, and his father actually did so for a week. He called him back after a calming cup of Earl Grey.
A secret he/she wouldn't want anyone to learn about: He's pondered dating men more than dating women. But he blames that on being in love, and therefore wanting to be exclusive. Which is why he just generally lies and says that he's taken when people ask, but he secretly wants to say that he will bend either way.
Favorite Color: Red and Green are his national colors, but since he would prefer NOT to look like an elf, he says blue. Light blue.
Anything else?:
I'm fluent in Portuguese, but Brasilian, not Portugal. -sweatdrop- So, I'm hoping no one on here will be picky about that...? I've also never RPed him before, so if he seems a tad... Contradictory, that's Country!Marcelo and Human!Marcelo fighting in my head.
