## Early and Current Life

Deiontre Carter was born on September 27, 2000 in Lake Charles, Louisiana as the third child of his mother, Shauna Simien and his father, Montai. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4 and from that point on, he needed to learn to embrace this characteristic, even if he didn't know it yet. Since Elementary School, he liked drawing and fell in love with several cartoons, like Dragon Ball Z and Spongebob to name a few. He often doodled on his class notebooks as a result of his obsession. Then by the time he was in Pre-K through first grade, he started to get introduced to video games after playing his older brother's playstation 2. Then when he was 12, he had gotten a PS2 of his very own by his great-grandma's friend who works at the McNeese post office. Then by age 14, whie he was still in 6th grade, his grandma bought him a Playstation 3 of his own. And his daily routine of watching cartoons and other various tv shows all the time gradually dwindled, and he became more evolved and interested into playing video games instead. Despite this different change of routine, and while he discovered something he loved more, he still aspired to be a cartoon animator, as he often struggled about which between the two to do first and often wrote down several scrapped stories, concepts, and characters he planned on making as pilots for his future ideas when he goes to college in his early teens to late adolescence. Then when he thought that he'd never have a good story to tell, one day on a vacation to Orlando, Florida in May of 2016, he was at a gas station in Baton Rouge and discovered a cool looking necklace that had an Alligator tooth on it. He tried to put it on, but accidentally broke it. Despite his impulsive accident, he got his big idea from the accident, he wondered "What if there was a story about me actually finding this and it had special abilities?" Then from that point on, he gradually came up with the origin of the Gator Tooth Series and has been expanding the idea for nearly 5 years. Then in June 2016, while playing Dragon Ball Xenoverse (which was his favorite video game at the time), while playing as his avatar named Dee (which is the anime version of himself who eventually became the franchise' titular character aling with many others becoming characters themselves), he encountered a female avatar named Kakagi Jackson, who was being controlled by a Youtube Gamer named AutisticSaiyan2 aka Kollan Galloway. They instantly became good friends even though it was only a few minutes, and from that point on, they became gaming friends and have done their absolute best to stay connected ever since their first ever meeting. In 2018, at age 17, Dee's guardians gave him the privilege to have a Facebook account, giving him the chance to add Kollan to it. Though his guardians became suspicious of him, thinking Dee met a stranger in their city somewhere and was keeping it a secret, much to his annoyance. In order to help Dee expand his series, they have done episode roleplays of Gator Tooth and its sequel series as an atrempt to try and add more story to it. By December 23, 2018, he and Kollan have then created the love interests of their characters Dee and Kollan. Kasumi and Jenny (who at the time was originally named Naomi), Dee decided to base Jenny off of Miracle, a girl from his youth class at church he had a crush on. On April 14, 2018, he came up with the earliest concept art of Henry (who was originally known as Hiro) Amy and Bobo, who he originally had referred to as fire weasels but changed to mongooses in late 2018 due to liking them alot. Then in late 2018, he had the idea of Amy originally being a human girl as a homage to Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, where Daxter fell into Dark eco and became an Ottsel. Kollan also helped make a few suggestions too, as it was his idea to make Amy Jenny's main companion, not Dee. By early 2019, Dee was starting to get more confident in his idea and often spends everyday after school trying to think up new characters, designing them, then labeling them all and dating them so he'll remember when he did it and often writes a quote about something exciting that happens the day he completes the art. In early 2019, he came up with Sarabi, a villainess that Kollan really responded to and became very popular with that he's done lots of fan art of and even named his profile after her in late 2020 as of right now. Then, on mother's day he came up with Venus, Sarabi's wicked mother. He also did the Gator Teeth and created a large cast of heroes and villains throughout the months, but he still needed help and a few suggestions from Kollan. In March 2020, he came up with the character of Josie, Kasumi's best friend and rival, but it was he who suggested the name. By late 2018, his series became a hit with Kollan, who has done countless fan arts of his soon to be world-famous video game characters and posted them several times on his Deviantart account. In mid 2020, he even helped him make a wiki about his series in order to get it out to the public a bit more, though it still has yet to be acknowledged as it's just another stepping stone. In September 2019, his grandma enrolled him in GED class so he can get his GED and use it to go to the Lafayette University. But due to Covid-19, his graduation day has been disrupted and he is still waiting desperately to return to school. His biggest dream as of right now is to get to the Lafyette University and finally be a real college kid meeting new friends. In 2018, he worked on art posters for two conventions, one a conference and one a Halloween party. He then left the school and moved onto SOWLEA TECH University. He is still working on his concepts but is still desperately waiting for school to return. As of 2022, he originally attempted to live in Las Vegas, but out of frustration with his sister putting him through stressful situations he's been put under back Home, he moves back to Lake Charles to get away from her negativity and plans to now live in Springfield, Missouri, where he plans to have Spectrum be located since it's where his close friend, Kollan Galloway lives.

## Personality

Dee is a Great person and a Role Model to his friends Kollan, Evan, & Troy who are ironically older then him. he is sarcastic, funny, and can unintentionally be a solitary individual at times. He has a heart of gold and always wants to help those around him. He can be impulsive and eccentric, but sometimes also very shy when meeting new people. He is usually cool under pressure, but sometimes has severe low-self esteem, due to his autism as it sometimes causes him to feel alienated from the rest of people around him. He is also a bit self-conscious, as he is sometimes afraid of what peers his age would think of him. He loves to be active and exlpore the world around him and has a habit of tenaciously ignoring guardian orders not to stray too far from the house when playing on a skateboard, as they fear he is not yet ready for the real world yet at such a young age. Due to being raised a Christain, he, unlike normal usual young black boys his age who speak in a gangster stereotypical accent and are in gangs doing illegal things, Dee is entirely friendly and speaks in normal clean english. He doesn't understand yet the slightest of black slang despite being black himself (but autistic except he doesn't like revealing he is and desires to keep it a private secret), making him appear slightly clueless and naive to the young gang world. He also takes very good care of his health, still remembering his school and grandma's teachings to never smoke. He also lacked knowledge of drugs and what they were when he was 12-16. Like thinking of Coke as in the drink and not the drug, and weed, for wheat grass.

He also lacks the traits of a stereotypical black person, as he is rather calm, gentle, and hates loud music. While he understands racism very well, he is against needless killing of African americans just because of their past crimes and mistakes, making him somewhat of a real-life Goku if he were black rather then white (which is what inspired the origin of Dee in the series) and same background.

## Appearance

Dee is a Tall, slender, black young man he wears Black Skate Shoes and is snarly. In his mostly physical appearance, he wears a simple sweater and jeans, which he reflects into Dee's casual appearance when he is not in his martial arts clothes.

## Reclusive Nature

While he is interactive with friends (mainly at his Hometown church and friends on PSN) and family and very laid-back and friendly, while doing his job as a YouTuber or having his day-to-day gone through, he is somewhat very shy and does not like doing anything that would involve showing his face in his Youtube videos (though a recent and very rare video of him was recently uploaded to Dee C, but only because his little cousin created a collab video with him called Fortnite Playthrough, much to his discomfort but he went along with it for him anyway because they're family, his cousin's channel is Goku Uzumaki) and two of his main channels, Dee C (which is named after himself with C meaning Carter and Dee is his nickname) and GT Prime do not have his actual face as his profile pictures. On messenger, he also dislikes being on video chats or appearing on them due to his social anxiety. In almost all his reaction videos to SML episodes (one of his favorite YouTube shows) or YTP reactions (which he has yet to make another one of), he never shows his face and instead his voice is heard in the background while filming his reactions with his phone. His reactions have been less frequent due to his busyness with character designing for Gator Tooth. He was at first thinking about face cam reactions, but due to media fear and stage fright, he just sticks to reactions where his face is hidden behind his phone. He rarely ever does videos of himself actually visible on his channels anymore and all his past videos where he does physically reveal himself have been deleted by the artist himself due to the harsh and disrespectful comments he's gotten from certain YouTubers who were jealous of his success in lots of views and subscribers. There are barely any photos or videos of him on any of his social media accounts as well, nor is he very active on them. While there are few, the rest have been deleted by him due to his anxiety of scamming girls trying to contact him after feeling betrayed by them after trying to find a relationship. He'll occasionally join the parties on PSN with his friends, but he rarely speaks due to fear and annoyance of the group starting arguments. Since his joinings in 2021, his habit to speak more has dwindled because of it. If anybody does anything in the party to annoy or offend him, then he'd instantly and ruthlessly depart from the party, showing great displeasure, oftentimes refusing to return to it until the next day arrives. His main PSN account is GatorTooth-2021, but if you try inviting him to your party, he will decline, as he refuses to let strangers hear his voice. Another reason for his dislike with contact from the outside is due to an assault he suffered from early June through October 2021. In March, an unkown Man harrassed him. Then in June 2021, his right arm was injured (although not too bad and was fine), but only because the unnamed Man with schizophrenia assaulted him due to being annoyed by his riding around on his skateboard and threw it at his arm when he tried to get it back. He fought back, but it did not stop the unnamed Man from messing with him onwards. To this day, he still shows disdain and annoyance towards the unnamed Man, but luckily has not seen him again since October 2021. He rarely leaves his room unless he has to, or to go get exercise outside on his skateboard. Other than that, he prefers to stay away from other people. On his way back Home from Las Vegas via the Harry Reid International Airport when his older brother was helping him get to his group line in order to get to his flight on time, Carter suffered a panic attack due to being surrounded by thousands of people, as he was shocked at just how large the Airport actually was and he does not like crowds. Until his brother could calm him down, he was able to focus and find his Plane and head back Home to Lake Charles, as he left out of frustration with his older sister. He does not like crowds or huge public places, like concerts (as various family members tried asking him if wanted to go to any, and declined all) due to his dislike of loud noises. Out of the four of the siblings, he is the most reclusive, refusing to be anywhere that has several people and rarely uses social media, other than YouTube. He even admits to sitting by himself all the time on Sundays at his Hometown church called Word Of Hope Family Worship Center, stating that "I love going to Church, but I fear being in the crowd sitting by others. I usually just sit by family, but aside from them, I'm too nervous to do it." When not working, he spends most of the time in his art space.

## How Cartoons almost overrode his passion for Video Games

Deiontre Carter has gone on record to say that he has had the same amount of enjoyment between both watching cartoons and playing video games as a Kid, explaining that "When I first came up with the idea, I didn't know originally what I wanted it to be. At first, it was going to be a comic book series, but the fact there are many painful cons to the career path such as pain in your wrists from drawing too much, I just had to turn it down. Then I thought Cartoon series, but that would require lots of hand drawing, too. Then, for my last decision, it was a complicated tie between a Cartoon series or a Video Game series."

He ultimately chose Video games over the animation career for a number of impactful reasons stating that "When I was little, I was first introduced to Cartoons like SpongeBob, and several various Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network shows. Then in 2005, I was first introduced to video games after playing a Playstation 2 that my brother owned at the time and it blew my mind. It was something that I found to be superior. By the time I was in Middle School, my Cartoon watching or TV in general occurred less, and my gaming life began evolving. Growing up with various characters like Mario, Sonic, Jak, and many other characters just had deeper, more emotional stories and adventures that I connected with on a far greater scale than that of Cartoons, or at least not as groundbreaking. Video games felt like being a Film director, and storytelling is my biggest strong point. I just enjoy the feeling of being in a playable adventure that feels like a Film. Only difference being, you control the characters in your movies. I was told once I'd be a good film director, and that's what making video games feels like. Making your own playable Films. I also found TV to be boring as i grew to be a gamer way more often. If it wasn't for Video games like, Super Mario Bros., Sonic The Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Jak And Daxter, Ratchet And Clank, and even Mortal Kombat, I probably never would've considered pursuing a Game designing career." However, he doesn't completely plan to throw Animation plans out the window as he does plan to get a taste of the career in Animation that he chose not to pursue by instead planning an animated series adaptation for the video game series called GT: The Animated Series after Gator Tooth 2's release, as he intends to make it a retelling to the games so the plot can get ahead since games take a long time to create. He states that he's aiming to make it "The best video game cartoon adaptation ever made.", planning to eventually surpass Pokémon as the most successful video game cartoon.

## Personal Life

He's from Lake Charles Louisiana and is currently a college kid at Sowela Tech trying to get his GED for college in Lafayette to study game design and graphic arts. He mostly spends time working on designs for the series and hangs out with his brand-new girlfriend Sonia. He is currently planning to move out next year in Spring 2022 to be with her. He has been waiting for school to return at SOWELA Tech, but never heard back from them since. Tired of waiting and bored of his everyday routine and overall life in Lake Charles, he's told about Las Vegas to his mother Shauna and without hesitation, moves there in the hopes of finding a school that will help him learn how to create his series and characters. Unfortunately, Las Vegas has no schools for it, so he must return Home to plan to move elsewhere. While he is very ambitious and hard-working, and always doing whatever he can to keep getting bigger and bigger to success, and very sociable, he finds communicating with others difficult due to his socially-awkward interactions. He is also a relatively private young man, while he likes people, he is very particular about the number and prefers the Countryside. He does not like to be in large crowds or photos and plans to make it clear that when he becomes known Worldwide for his Franchises that he wants a quiet and peaceful life away from the media. He also wishes to not be in any public interviews as he has awkward moments on camera, or stage fright. He says in his own words: "While I enjoy meeting new people, I'll only make games because it's my passion to tell stories and to make a living, not to be famous. I'm just not the kind of person that enjoys going to big ceremonies or events because I'd have to talk on stage in front of thousands of people and that's very anxious for me. It's not because I don't like people, but rather because I prefer to stay out of the public eye."
