Mini-Bio || About:

This is a mess, I'll clean it up later.

In the Aztec calendar system, the days in the year are separated into two consecutive wheels of time. One of 13 day signs influence a month of twenty. Each month and day governed by a different duo of gods or goddesses depending on the corresponding day and month sign Tlazolteotl being one of these goddesses. She governs the fifth day along with the twenty day cycle that starts on the day sign of Ollin. Was it then by coincidence that Mateo was born on a day under her supposed protection? Born in Tecate, Mexico. It seemed as though every other year would bring about constant hurricanes and earthquakes. His father being a head executive at an oil company allowed his family the availability to relocate away from one natural calamity before being met with another. It would also allow for Mateo to study in the United States, or whatever you're supposed to call having your ankles meet your ears for almost four years. His time in the states was cut short, being called back to shadow his father at the oil company's business meetings. Often times Mateo would be bored out of his mind, having to keep a rotating cast of office assistants to entertain him in between meetings. Heated whispers promising them a seat on his staff if he were allowed to sit on theirs.

. . .

Day Itzcuintli Itzcuintli is a good day for funerals and wakes and remembering the dead. It is a good day for being trustworthy, a bad day for trusting others of questionable intent.

One of his favorites and company hopeful was Hector Suarez. He was a promising man around the same age as Mateo. A little older, and perhaps a little more cunning. Mateo often had a knack at spotting who amongst the white collar bramble were the opportunistic type. It took one to know one after all. Hector, however, seemed too play this to his advantage. While Mateo pulled him towards his bed, promising what they both knew he couldn't procure, Hector would pull him away from the secret meetings formed to oust his father from the company. Panes of glass fogged each night in a luxury car as the fog of deception closed in onto Jorge in a sudden and swift removal. Mateo had woken up with the ground shifting under him, literally. It had seemed mother nature would join in striking down the family as well. The cliff where their manor had stood collapsed down into the polluted seas below. He would wake up in a hospital bed, the only one recovered from the monstrous wreck. He had no home, he had no job waiting for him. He was alone. Only thing he had was his body and it was one he barely managed to hold on to.

August 27, 2023 - Day of the Call?

The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ollin (Movement) is ruled by Tlazolteotl.

More to come.

"I'm not here to pass judgment on anyone's actions though. Long gone are the days where I absolve people of their sins and act as the middleman between them and whatever higher power they believe in." A casual way to mention that he wasn't a sketch artist in his mortal life. He was connected to the gods long before he found out that Anubis was his father. Maybe that was what led him to a life of the cloth, to performing funerals because he wanted to make sure that they were done right.

He flipped his book to a new page and continued to look over at Mateo, eyes following his every movements as the half god sat down. "Perhaps the ground here shifts every now and then. Creating small hills in the labyrinth. I wouldn't be surprised." Wouldn't be the first or last time that something strange happened here. "If you're going to stay, can you pose? I'd love to sketch something while we're both here."

[dios-teo]

"Pose as in... You want me to model for you?" Mateo couldn't but find a smile spread across his face. As if anticipating this somehow, Mateo lays himself in an effortless yet comfortable position across the floor. Hopefully the pose would be enough for the fellow half god to get a good range of technique down. "Would this work out for you?" He asks, his legs slightly bouncing in a childish excitement at being sketched.

"Floor does feel a bit more comfortable than usual." Mateo muses aloud, his hand feels at the soft floor under them. The greenery across the floor feeling particularly soft and velvety this time around. "I'm Mateo, by the way. I'm not sure if I introduced myself already, but what's the harm in a second introduction." He chimes, his fingers still carding through the green felt of grass before returning his gaze towards Babu once again. "I'm sorry, I don't think models should be moving around this much, huh?"

[savioresque]

something close to a laugh left his mouth, attempted to stifle it but ended up futile ────── shaking his head at mateo after the comment about the catalog of deli. aleki definitely would have never thought about describing people's private parts that way. but maybe that was what mateo had to offer in this friendship ; the wit aleki clearly lacked. " do you seriously want to see everyone naked ? " aleki chuckled, head cocked as he looked at mateo with playful curiosity. though, he was probably only half-joking. " don't get me wrong, i've seen a couple of people here naked and i haven't been disappointed. but to see what everyone has to offer ? it's too much. i need a little mystery. " maybe he was talking way too loud at a public space, but aleki didn't really care. he was way too amused by where this conversation had gone. aleki took a sip of his drink as he feigned to ponder mateo's question, thought it would just be common sense to think he ran hot. but he liked that the demigod of filth and purification asked anyway so he could do this : a hand offered between them. " touch me and find out for yourself, " aleki said with a nonchalant shrug, always believed more in tangible proof than words. and there was nothing more tangible than the natural warmth of his skin to answer mateo's question.

[dios-teo]

"I don't have to seen everyone naked. It just makes things a bit more interesting." Mateo shrugged, swirling his cup slightly before taking a swig from his drink. He had hoped to have a handle on his habit of sexualizing a casual situation like this. Mateo was trying to eat and he was sure Aleki was too. Mateo could at least pass off the comment about the island's men being their deli as just his stomach talking. "Well, not as interesting as finding out our lineage, of course."

Mateo couldn't hide the intrigued smirk forming on his lips as Aleki seemed to show the Aztec half god up. He hadn't seen this side of Aleki before, usually only seeing his serious business side during quest-- no, you're picturing the wrong side. Of course there had been a few times the two half gods flirted with each other during them, but they had always done their best to focus afterwards. Now, however... He was here in front of him. Mateo had no one to be mindful of at the moment. Well, no one except Seth of course. "Bet."

"I better not burn myself." It seemed even that wasn't going to stop Mateo from the challenge, whatever it may be. Mateo wasn't about to be flustered at his own game. His hand lifts itself from the tiki bar's counter to move slowly, looking like it was lifting itself towards Aleki's forehead before hovering above the redhead's chest. Mateo's eyes meet the other half god's as his hand lowers it self down to rest in the middle of Aleki's chest.

"Toasty."

Starter to @dios-teo

Eryx had just arrived at the tikki bar he had heard people talk about before. He had been curious to check it out before but had chickened out multiple times. He had never gone to a var alone! But there was nothing to be scared of, he wasn't entirely human after all, yet there were so many human-conceived notions in his mind after a lifetime of living with them that they were hard to get rid of entirely.

The demi-god entered the place and looked around. It was fairly open with a beach a few meters behind the bar itself. The music was loud, the smell of seawater filled him up entirely and Eryx found himself smiling as he approached the bar and asked for a drink. He was walking away from said bar, drink in hand, when he crashed against someone. He recognized them from the Ark immediately! "Hey! Sorry for crashing on you. It's nice to see a familiar face around."

[dios-teo]

"Crashing on me? I think you're confusing me for a different half god, buddy. I think I'd remember having you crashed on top of me." Mateo waves him down with a wink. He pats the seat next to him for Eryx to sit besides him. He had definitely grew close with the other half god throughout Mateo's stay. He was definitely a positive presence within Mateo's journey in figuring out his place within the ark.

"You know what's funny? I haven't seen you drunk-- Actually, I haven't seen you drink. I think the only place I saw you near liquor was near the strip club." Mateo gives Eryx a chummy pat on his back before continuing, "I barely saw you throughout that quest too, I'm guess Dio got to see you-- Aw, nuts!!" Mateo cuts himself off as a bit of his drink slips on himself.

[washedfms]

"You didn't think people were going to come to an open space were they could probably have some privacy at least for a couple of minutes?" Babu didn't mean to sound rude when he asked the question. He also wasn't whispering. He just wondered if people normally didn't take advantage of what was at their disposal. Getting used to everything on the island was goin to take some time, so it would be good to know. "Seeing as how I just got here, you can retire that title." A soft smile.

"I'm Babu, it's nice to meet you Mateo, formerly new but now old resident." The comment about ranks made him raise his brows a bit. "I don't mind the company, the choice is in your hands." He shrugged his shoulders, still sitting down on the ground. "Again, this is public property after all. Who am I to kick you out?"

[dios-teo]

"Right... Of course. It'd be pretty weird for you to do that..." Mateo gave a half chuckle at the other half god's serious and straight forward delivery. He wasn't sure if he's meant to take the stranger's open ended statement as an excuse to walk away from him or as a challenge. Mateo remembered how it felt to be one of the new half gods around. He wasn't exactly the first one to make conversation. Probably was the first in a lot of things afterwards, however. Just finishing someone's thought.

"You know what..." He begins with a determined set of nods in Babu's direction as Mateo sat himself down next to the labyrinth wall adjacent to Babu. "I'll take you up on that offer. I'll just sit myself down on here and... was the ground always down here..?" Mateo's mind had begun to wander. It seemed the half god's botanical pastime had begun to kick in.

[savioresque]

aleki had always been interested in knowing more about the other demigods' abilities, and mateo's divinity certainly proved to be captivating. while his own was very much rooted in nature, mateo's powers sounded more abstract and endless well of potential. control over people's vices ? that could just be about anything. and aleki was certainly glad that such potentially limitless power was being wielded by an ally, as it could be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands. " it's probably useless on this island though. i mean, i've seen the group texts. i don't think our friends need any help getting horny — it's honestly surprising that no one has sent an accidental dick pic. " aleki took another swig of his tiki drink, beginning to feel the alcohol slowly taking effect now. he laughed as gesticulated a volcanic eruption, shaking his head at the mess mateo made. " i'd like to say that my control over my powers is great now, so there's absolutely no premature eruptions over here, " there was definitely an innuendo somewhere there, continuing to draw out some small bouts of laughter from the volcanic heir. aleki helped mateo clean up, tossing some of the fallen pieces of meat and cabbages into his mouth. " i can pretty much manipulate magma and lava, but my divine mother also blessed me with the ability to transform earth and rocks into lava, too. i'd probably be too useless otherwise. definitely not as cool as making people want to sin, though. "

[dios-teo]

"Yeah, well, here's hoping we see a catalog of our deli next time we check in." Mateo teases, crossing his fingers. "And luckily for me, I don't have a dick to accidentally send pictures of." He winks. Mateo does his best to clean up after himself, not wanting to get punished by Seth in front of Aleki, at least not yet and not before he's had his food. His own powers were a mystery to himself. Half the time, Mateo thought he was just effortlessly tempting. Though, now that he's executed a bit of finesse with his abilities, Mateo was surprised about the exact dominions his mother's power had access to. "But it's always fun to see a man coming undone with a certain amount of effort, prematurely or not."

He had wondered how someone with more "active" powers tended to view their abilities. It wasn't often that Mateo talked to the half gods, being so new and green compared to the masters of the elements that he bunks with, it made the half god a bit... self-conscious about his performance, no innuendo intended. Mateo took a sip form his own drink, studying the half god sitting next to him as he mentally debated whether he should spare Aleki from his flirting or simply enjoy the view with his meal. "So... Lava, magma, and volcanoes. Does that mean you tend to run hot?"

[washedfms]

location: labyrinth 

most people tried to get out of the maze as soon as possible. he stepped foot into it to get lost. to not have anyone bother him for too much. babu was hiding out from the sun and sketching something from memory, as best as he could at least. he got distracted when he heard a pair of footsteps approaching, looking up and dropping his pencil. “do you need help out of here?” a small breath. he didn't know if he could help, but he could try. he was still sitting on the ground, knees raised as his feet were firmly planted on the ground. “i think straight ahead and to the right is next.”

[dios-teo]

"Oh.. Shit.. Hey there! Wasn't sure people actually came down here." Mateo says in a surprised, but hushed tone. The half god had decided to come down here to do a bit of... Botany induced soul work, so to speak. A little bit of the devil's lettuce and a nice walk through the maze. A little exercise to go with Mateo's ego death, an all in all nice treat. However... He now seemed to have some company with him. "My name's Mateo. I'm a bit new here..."

"Although, I think I can finally retire saying that now that I've risen through the ranks a bit." Mateo chuckles lightly, "I kinda came to get lost on purpose, get a bit of quite somewhat. I'm guessing you wanted to do the same? I can, you know..." Mateo points his thumb in the direction that he came from, "Leave you be if you'd like?"

[sonofstorms]

@dios-teo

Mateo's kitchen had been well utilized that afternoon. The bowl of fresh masa was nearly empty. The cutting boards were stained with the juices of tomatoes, peppers, and meat. Hot pans cooled atop the fire grill. If you turned away from the mess framed by warm, Latin tiles, you'd see a bountiful spread of homemade sopes atop the wood kitchen island. Prepped and ready for devouring.

Thrilled by the final result of their joint effort, Hugo's hunger took control and he dug right into the first sope. Enjoying the crunch of the crust and flavor of the carnitas.

He hummed in satisfaction. Not something he would do in the another Ark members presence, but behind these particular walls Hugo felt comfortable to express himself. The very warmth of Mateo's home and company just... brought it out of him.

"I... really needed this." He muttered while shaking his head above the full plate. "After yesterday, I had no appetite... til I remembered your cooking."

It was difficult to carry himself out of that mission, back to the Ark to give a speech, and wake up to find Forest had gone. Hugo needed some space too. This simple reprieve. However odd it might sound to others that the proud Shinto warrior would trust an Aztec demigod. "I will clean up after. 'the least I can do for you teaching me and letting me stay for a bit...

Maybe we could take a walk to digest after. Catch the sunset."

[dios-teo]

There were a few close calls in almost burning down the kitchen, but luckily Mateo managed to keep the lodge standing for another day. He couldn't say the same thing when it came to embarrassing himself. There was a faint tint of red as Mateo heard Hugo talk about his cooking. It didn't register to him how something as simple as a sopes would lift someone's spirits, Hugo in particular. The half god in front of him had a past far more complicated and complex to his own.

Mateo's struggles had only paled, and seemed to have only started, compared to how he found the fellow half god. Still, he was grateful to have found him. It was better to find him across from him sharing a meal than across from him staring down his sword. There was also a bit of fascination with Hugo's face, especially now when a bit of masa for the sopes adorned Hugo's forehead.

"I think I might have to clean you a bit before you can start cleaning yourself." Mateo chuckles, handing over a napkin towards him. There was a twinge of guilt as he ate. Mateo hadn't been keeping an eye on him like he'd promised. Although, he's sure no one would blame him for the half god to find his footing here, Mateo did feel like he should know why Hugo was staying over, but his brain couldn't focus on the explanation he was given. Only that Mateo had to be a good host to his guest.

"I would love to go for a walk with you. Talking out a few things helps me digest as well, so hopefully you're prepared for an earful." Mateo chuckles as he sinks his teeth into the savory flavors of the sope. "This isn't half bad." He thinks to himself.

[dios-teo]

TASK: MATEO WILL PRAY FOR POWER

Mateo had prepared himself a very fancy mud bath, a couple candles and incense were on either side of the tub the half god had brought into the clearing. He wanted to attempt to make a makeshift mud bath like in those youtube videos where everything is "handmade" but ultimately decided on bringing a bathtub he can fill with a good mix of herbs, mud and essential oils.

There's a moment of doubt in the half god as he sunk a foot into the warm and earthy mixture. Mateo sets down his phone to the side, already selecting his playlist for him to listen to as he sinks himself lower into the tub. He hopes he is able to focus on the task at hand.

As relaxing as the mud bath was, Mateo needed to be focused. His thoughts about the last few quests he was in. His performance in those were okay, but he wasn't sure it was enough.

"Hey..." Mateo attempts to start in his prayer, his hesitance causing him to lean back against the tub and sit there to bask in the mud for a bit more time.

"I need something to protect my friends." Mateo says aloud once he surrenders to the warmth and weightlessness of being in the mud bath. "I need to be stronger for their sake and my own. We've already lost a few of us so soon... I just... I want to be able to prevent that from happening again."

28. for a weather-based starter !

weather: 1d8(1) +0 - hot & sunny.

Mateo was fanning himself while loitering sitting at Seth's tiki bar. As he continued to fan himself, Mateo couldn't help but spot the small patch of red walking towards his direction. Deciding to entertain himself by possibly flustering the other half god, Mateo undid a couple of buttons for his bright colored Hawaiian t-shirt. He leans back, resting his arms and back against the tiki bar before waving Aleki over.

"Hey, Aleki!"

"Come drink with me!" He flashes charming smile, bringing his free hand to tap at the empty seat next to him.

mateo ruiz, son of tlahzōlteōtl – bienvenidos a mi crib!

The son of tlahzōlteōtl is one that likes the simple things in life. just the basics, such as a fire pit, a large kitchen with a appliances, and maybe even a water fountain or two. Nothing too gaudy or out of touch. Before his family estate had fallen apart, there would always be commissioned artwork hanging on the walls from independent artists. One in particular that Mateo had remembered was someone by the name of Diego RIvera.

Masyn let's out a small grunt as he bumps into the other man. He looks at him and offers a chuckle. "Oh?" Masyn asked with an amused smirk. Happy to hear that someone had a little bit of an attitude on them. "Something the matter?" Masyn asked with a tilt of his head. Hearing the other man's question though? Masyn nodded his head. "Yeah, I don't mind doing that at all." Masyn assures. "Any place you want to go to specifically?"

[dios-teo]

"The houses, please. We are staying in houses, correct?" Mateo begins to ask Masyn a bit concerned as he realizes he did just land on a remote island. There was no guarantee of any sort of house that Mateo was aware of. For all the half god knew, he'd signed up for Fyre Festival 2.0 (or is it 3.0? how many unofficial Fyre Festivals are we at now?). "I appreciate you helping me though. I don't mind paying for some pizza after getting settled in, if you'd like?"

[savioresque]

although they had been on a few quests together, aleki still couldn't really say that he knew mateo all that well. but he had been on a mission to get to know his fellow demigods as of late — and after their time as a team in acoma, it wasn't really a difficult decision to keep that flow going. especially when both of them seemed to be the type to voice out even their most intrusive thoughts. solidarity or something like that. so he decided to meet up with mateo at fate's oasis, easier to talk with liquid courage and food involved. " should we start with something easy ? " aleki asked as he tried to think of an easy question that could lay some foundations between them. he took a sip of his kiki's bliss, another beat or two before finally coming up with something fun that he wanted to learn about mateo. " so, how did you learn about your powers ? i mean, isn't it kind of like ... making people horny ? that must have been a real doozy to deal with. " @dios-teo

[dios-teo]

"I don't think that's how it works, not entirely anyway." Mateo chuckles lightly, the fellow half god already chowing down on some titan tacos. It was a bit unfortunate that Mateo had already managed to become the group's unstable ditz. He really tried his best during the last couple of quests, trying to contribute the best he could but the dice universe could only do so much for Mateo, it seemed. Mateo takes a swig from a cocktail he ordered earlier before answering the other half god. "I mean, if a person's vice consists of sex, then I can see why it lead to people being horny."

"Although, would be a hell of a pickup line. 'Are my powers working on you or are you just happy to see me?'" Mateo couldn't help but wink at Aleki as he took another bite of his taco. "And how about you? Do you kinda just--" Mateo pantomimes an erupting volcano whilst keeping an awkward hold of his food in his hand. "Ah, shit... Didn't mean to make a mess. Should clean it up before Seth yells at me."

[dios-teo]

MODERATION:

TASK: RESEARCH XIPE TOTEC.

Mateo arrives at the library, eager to find some information about Xipe Totec. He had talk to the other half gods about what he had found while purifying a sacred temple and the message sent to him after finding the bodies along the way. The experience wasn't as wholesome as it sounded. He had also talked to them about other things unrelated to that, but he'd like to focus on Xipe Totec for the time being. Mateo would like to crack open these books to find any possible connections to any Electra or any of the gods they know that have decided to side against them. He welcomes the help of any half god in helping in the researching as well.
