the basics
Name || Porter Nicholas Steder
Nicknames || P, Port (Mainly Porter)
Age || sixteen
Occupation// Supporting Actor
Gender || Male
Sexuality || hetero
the appearance
Face Claim || Ross Lynch
Identifying Features || He has a cigarette burn scar on his left hand and a few random scars over his body from various incidents.
Overall || As a soccer player, Porter has an athletic/slender frame. He leans towards the slender side because when he becomes nervous his appetite disappears. (It's something he's working on.) Porter is the shortest male in his family, but is still relatively tall for his age, standing at 5'10. His style is pretty casual, consisting of athletic wear (Soccer training pants, basketball shorts, sweatpant joggers, Nike) and outdoorsy/preppy styles. The brands he wears the most is Adidas, Patagonia, The North Face, Vans, Burton, & Hollister.
the personality
Likes ||
1 - Acting. After being adopted by a wealthy actor and his family, Porter began to find genuine interest in the profession. From the age of 8 on, he would visit the sets his dad worked on and took acting classes because he found the industry fascinating.
2 - Sports. Alongside acting, sports is also a passion of the boy's. Soccer and Ice Hockey are his favorite.
3 - Nature. Porter loves being outside. Camping, hiking, running, all of those are highly enjoyable to him and when he's having a bad day, sitting outside on the deck is how he clears his mind.
4 - Coffee. Early morning call times, call for Starbucks. Though he he dislikes sweet coffee and will always opt for an iced Americano or just regular iced coffee. He's probably a bit addicted to caffeine.
5 - His family. He was adopted at the age of 8 into a large and wondeful family. He has an older sister, two older brothers, and two little sisters and he loves them all dearly. Of course they don't all get along perfectly, or even somewhat perfectly, but at the end of the day, the Steder's are very close knit and loving.
Dislikes ||
1 - School. Homework, Studying, Reading, anything that involves the word 'school' frustrates him. Never in his life has it been a strong point for him and he is decently behind for his grade level. The teachers and tutors on set work diligently to help but he certainly gives them a run for their money.
2 - Watching himself on TV. He's still very new to the industry for himself, so where it is popular to watch yourself to improve, he can't stand seeing himself act. I'm sure in time that will change, but for now he's set on not doing that.
3 - Big Cities. Ironic, but coming from a Denver, Colorado suburb, New York is massive and a bit overwhelming. Though he does enjoy what the state has to offer, Colorado is still considered home.
4 - Being in trouble. He is probably the most difficult child in his family. His parents are surprisingly, quite strict and so he ends up breaking rules frequently. It's not uncommon to hear that he is grounded or without his electronics for a few days.
5 - Onions. If food even smells like onions he won't eat it and he will sit and pick the topping out of his lunch for however long it takes before taking a bite.
Strengths ||
1 - Friendly. Porter is a genuine, nice, kid. He's very talkative and loves to joke around. His (adoptive) family are humble, caring, people despite their status and it's something he truly admires about them and longs to be like.
2 - Professional. People enjoy working with him on sets because he isn't stuck up or rude and he knows his job and works hard. Most of time he has his lines memorized to the tee and is very focused. (At least when it comes to work, school is an entirely different story) But he is aware of the stigma surrounding child/young actors and the difficulty of working with them and he refuses to prove the stigma right.
3 - Outgoing. He talks (Probably too much) to anyone and everyone and enjoys getting to know people. It doesn't matter who you are, he will probably talk your ear off.
Weaknesses ||
1 - Partying. Like a lot of teenagers, Porter enjoys parties and the debauchery that follows. Of course being in the limelight, he attempts to hide that the best he can but there are a couple youtube videos documenting some bad decisions. Shhh.
2 - Stubbornness. Accepting help is not a common thing for Porter. It's not because he is prideful (well a little) but because he is actually quite insecure and doesn't want to inconvenience anyone.
3 - Impulsiveness. Unfortunately, it is not rare to see the blonde do something without thinking it through. Don't ever dare him to do something because he will, no matter how dangerous.
4 - School. Long story short, he isn't easy to work with as far as schooling. He hates it and he doesn't apply himself. He cuts corners any chance he has and more often than not, has to be escorted to the school trailer because he will just not go.
Dreams ||
Porter wants to make his family proud. He was adopted as a child and he desires to make something of himself. His adoptive father and one of his older brother's are actors as well, so he feels like he has big shoes to fill and coming from the background he did, with foster care, and an abusive situation, he desires to prove to himself he's better than his past.
Fears ||
As ironic as it is, he is afraid of fame. He loves acting but he doesn't enjoy being under a microscope and people judging his every decisions. He's in the phase of life where he's already insecure, trying to juggle being a normal high schooler and acting, and he is still unsure how to embrace the limelight. Another, less significant fear of his is needles. He doesn't like doctors offices or anything else that comes with the territory.
