DWK Character Profiles according to Das Wilde Fussball Buch (Part 1)
Or more like, wanted posters 😅. This includes certain data from the book series like: full name, address, birthdate, zodiac sign (greek, chinese and native american signs combination), position, shirt number, football tricks, curse words, personality characteristics, bikes, favourite things (food, drink, sweets, tv series, film and book) and wild actions (book events) + a reward to follow the wanted poster concept.
I have skipped the not so interesting (bikes) and the untranslatable (curse words and football tricks...most are german combination words you can't read in one sitting 😅 not putting myself through translating that). Not sure about including the book events...may edit them in later.
Also I have tried with the cultural references, but well Google can only do so much, i guess... I put English titles if I found them (obvs not 100% sure though), i included the German one too just in case and may someone enlighten me 😅 (I recognise some but not all, different country, different titles)
PD: According to my calculations and the timeline included, the 13 books take place between April 2002 and Summer 2003, so you can calculate book!ages
Leon (#13 - Central Striker)
Full name: Leon Finn Wessel-Masannek (no surprises here, same as irl)
Address: Hubertusstraße 58
Birthdate: December 23rd 1992 (same as irl) (this is where I headcanon for my fic that Marlon may have called him his Christmas gift sometimes, mostly jokingly)
Zodiac: Capricorn - Monkey - Goose
Not going to translate the football tricks but in my head, it's funny he has tricks involving his head and parts of his face (like the ear, i'm not kidding) when he's stubborn af (in english it makes no sense bcs stubborn has no reference to the head, in german and spanish it does)
Personality: never gives up, team captain
Favourite drink: Blue Powerade

Favourite TV Show: What's with Andy? (Typisch Andy)
Favourite Film: Bruce Almighty (Bruce Allmächtig)
Marlon (#10 - Midfield Director)
Full name: Marlon David Wessel (like with Leon, same as irl) (I am very much curious about their surnames though...idk how standard is not getting the father's surname in single-surname countries like Germany)
Birthdate: April 23rd 1991 (same as irl again) (he was born on World Book Day, lovely) (also not them both being born on the 23rd?? Or 10+13 being 23?)
