Name: Maurice Bauer
Nickname: Mau
Type of Character: Friend
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual, and not afraid to admit this
Appearance: Being a peacock, Mau's feathers are radiantly blue with a dark patch just underneath his chin along with a tuft atop his head, curving backwards softly. His pale blue eyes are surrounded by black smudges, and his cheeks are both covered by single stripes of white. The lime green tail feathers are long and much cared for, strewn with a busy eye pattern that can be mesmerizing to look at if the plumes are fully spread out. For convenience, he usually keeps them neatly folded behind him.
His usual attire is a long and dark cardigan, complete with a blue t-shirt, skinny grey jeans, and light grey and white sneakers.
Personality Summary: Amiable and charming, it's a common sight to see Mau engage with people in a light-hearted chatter or simply lending them a hand. He gets a thrill out of helping others with their problems and will often give advice where he sees fit, being understanding and flexible to a fault for as long as he isn't being taken advantage of. He simply enjoys feeling needed and appreciated, and of course, the more comfortable and knowledgeable he gets with someone, the more wicked and mischievous he becomes. It is never beneath him to casually flirt with people and this only becomes painfully true whenever he's had far too many drinks, as often happens. It's during those times when his 'casual flirting' turns into outright seduction, and regardless of who his target might be, he'll only keep pushing for a favorable outcome.
Whenever he isn't too occupied with his job or studying for his subjects, Mau will usually pass time by completing chores, cooking and trying out new recipes, or simply taking a seat on a couch and enjoying a nice steaming cup of tea. Despite his casual ways, he has a tendency to occasionally withdraw himself from others, all for the sake of observing them. He rarely reacts well to being bossed over and he can all too easily be prompted to do outright insane things just to prove that he can, and will. If a common ground isn't met, this can lead him to be uncooperative with people and at that point, he will be daring enough to let them know exactly what he thinks of them.
Brief History: Born as the son of an accountant father and a mother working as a high-school art teacher, Mau spent his early years growing up and attending college in Austria. Expectations were strict, and social image and reputation towards his elders were important to him back then. He'd often spend the days as a responsible, hard-working student who worked high and nigh for the perfect grade, but fast-forward a few hours to nighttime and he'd do a 180 turn and be one of the first to wreck havoc in the deserted hallways in his party-fueled states. Eventually, when he finally found a person to share his evenings with, he'd go out with them on strolls to gaze over the street-lamp lit river flowing through the city. But alas...his happiness was temporary. As soon as he hit the tender age of 19, Mau packed his things and left for New York without a single glance over his shoulder. He had never been especially diligent in his English lessons, so it was no surprise that it took him a fair while to finally get the hang of the language. But sure enough, as soon as he spoke it near-fluently, he quickly took the opportunity to land himself a job at a local café, Ebony Enigma. Nowadays, Mau spends his time studying for a medical degree alongside his duty of serving customers and handing out secret discounts to whoever catches his eye the most.
Job: Part-time waiter
Relationships: To be updated
Other: Mau avoids talking about his past and actively insists on being called by his nickname. Expressive and creative, he enjoys the past-time hobby of painting art and decorating rooms for added visual appeal. He also aspires to become a doctor one day and shows great enthusiasm towards the topic whenever he gets a chance to put his knowledge to test.
