Martin

Male. 27. 5’5”tall. Wiry build. Aries born march 24th, 1904. Isfp type. Blue eyes black hair. Wide shoulders. Hairy chest. Part Russian part German. Born in prussia in a forested area. Father was a forester and mother a cook for rich people. They were poor. Had a sister who was older than him. She married and stayed in the hometown. Moved to berlin to be in a more open-minded city, having realized from a young age he loved men, as well as women. Worked as a go-getter at the police station, then got taught how to be a cop by ewald beier. Works as a detective assistant to Walther Vollbrecht in 1931 in berlin police. Made friends with otto biersdorf when he started working himself at the police station as a go-getter. They became lovers. Beier warned them to hide their feelings for each other better or be separated. Otto brings sandwiches he made himself some days to martin’s office, sharing them with him and eating together. They are both friends with knud ebenberger, beier’s chauffeur. Ebenberger, or ebbie, as they call him, doesn’t know their relationship is more than friendship. Martin Secretly goes out with men like wilhelm schlegel and hans brauer, drinking at nachtschmetterling cafe with them, and meeting irene brock, with whom he has been obsessed since she danced with him once. He is shy with her. Felt a bit left out of their group of friends because he comes from a poor family while willi and hans come from wealthy families. They joke about his impulsive and somewhat feral personality, making him self conscious. Is part russian, on his mother’s side. German and polish on the father’s side. Doesn’t really like Walther Vollbrecht, thinking he is too intense and too much of a “goody-goody.” Is friends with the head of the police station where he works, ewald beier. Beier steals martin to go out on investigations with him sometimes because his own assistant, otto biersdorf, is better at paperwork and gets woozy from crime scenes. Martin is tough and thinks fast. He’s a great shot and runs really fast. He is able to get into small spaces due to his being thin and short. Martin has always fantasized about sleeping with Beier. He doesn’t know that beier loves men too. He sees Beier as a sort of daddy figure to him. Martin and otto are sometime lovers, but martin is casual about sex with men. He does love otto, however. He feels that otto is too sweet and kind to be a policeman, and should be protected. Martin loves cats. He sneaks strays into his apartment kitchen to feed them sometimes. He is very agile and is a great investigator . He loves the forest and knows a lot about survival in it. He is submissive and likes deferring to beier, even without sex. He is jealous of anyone who gets irene brock’s attention. He particularly dislikes Franz Kirchenwald, though franz was always kind to him. Martin’s a good cook and can do many domestic things well. Nurturing and kind but energetic and impulsive. Has venus in pisces and moon in gemini. Loves russian black bread, loves borscht. Also loves polish food, and eats at cafe 15, near the police station. It’s a polish restaurant all his friends go to. He lives in a messy little apartment near the police station. It’s messy because he’s rarely home. When he gets bored he goes to the park and climbs trees or swims. He likes running and when with his friends they drink in excess and act silly outside. He dreams of being able to convince irene to let him love her, but he is extremely shy around her. He knows she likes a dominant man, and he’s not really like that, but he is learning from watching how beier behaves at work how to behave more like a dominant type. He sometimes has otto over for the night. Beier protects them from being found out at the police station with a cost…martin must be completely obedient to beier, in every way. Sometimes martin gets annoyed by walther’s excessive ethics. He and otto commiserate about work and otto’s abysmal family when they get together. They love each other, and they are really each other’s true love. Martin feels uncomfortable admitting that, though. He feels like otto is too possessive and maybe too uptight. Martin likes doing tricks like jumping off high places and hanging on tree branches. He is very physical and gets angry easily, sometimes getting violent. He is feisty with walther occasionally, and walther is usually pretty laidback about the occasional sass from martin. Sometimes martin holds grudges.
