TRAVIS MARTINEZ

THE GOLDENBOY


    Travis shines under the wing of his father, John Smith. What rumors surround him naturally stretch to his boy, who has become a regular at the manor. He's used to being in the spotlight, whether it be at his father's side or as the captain of the lacrosse team. They say they haven't lost a match since he's joined.




    BACKSTORY:

      Travis was lucky. Born into a family who adored him, he was steered in every direction possible. Sports, academics, the works. He was on a strict path to success with a happy family, which took a serious fall when his mother died in a mysterious accident that the paparazzi are still trying to tear apart. His grades slipped, his father hovered, and he almost lost his scholarship. He kept his mother's last name to remember her by.

      Accepted into an Ivy League school after showcasing his skills on the lacrosse field, Travis became the star of his team. A beloved captain, a social butterfly, someone who brought out the best in others. That isn't enough, because he wants to follow in his father's footsteps. Be smarter, better, stronger. He's well on his way to graduating Summa cum laude.






    RUMORS:

      🏆 Travis Martinez has never lost a game of beer pong or a girl’s attention. He might actually be allergic to failure.

      🏆 He threw a punch at a guy who called Natalie ‘the help.’ Said it wasn’t about her job—it was about her name.

      🏆 He gets more packages delivered than anyone else on the estate. Most of them are vintage records, hardcovers, or clothes in Natalie's size.

      🏆 You know those all-campus parties? He’s invited before they’re even announced.

      🏆 At the last Balfour dinner, he poured his champagne into someone else’s glass and took a lemonade instead. Power move or teenage rebellion?

      🏆 He always checks his phone after practice. Doesn’t matter how tired he is. ‘Dad wants to know I got off the field safe,’ he says.

      🏆 People make jokes about Travis living in John's shadow, but honestly, it seems like he likes the shade.

      🏆 One time, he broke his wrist after a game. John flew in a specialist from Geneva and he was back on the field in a week.





    IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS:

      John Smith: Father, the person he looks up to most. Travis is the only one who knows about his secret identity.
      Natalie Scatorccio: Girlfriend
      Domingos Choi: His pal that he's trying to help get over his fear of dogs.






    OTHER NOTES:
