**Portinabia**, otherwise known as **Port**, is a New West Indies citizen, roleplayer, Broadcaster, and former Cultural Archivist for the Department of Administration during Karteria's government. They were the first and only Cultural Archivist thus far.

Portinabia was one of the earliest members to be accepted within the New West Indies, returning twice as the nation had ceased to exist two times prior to its current state. Even outside of the New West Indies, Portinabia has shown to be a contributor of relevance.[*Source?*]

## Early Days

Portinabia joined the New West Indies on July 19, 2018. In his early days, unlike many of his fellow nations, he was not immediately interested with roleplaying, but rather issue-playing. It took him a while to fully grasp that the roleplay was, in fact, more interesting than the base game (and still, he had to refine his English way more, in which he eventually did).

He has been shown to be constantly in different moods when it comes to roleplaying: sometimes he enters in month-long hiatuses and returns randomly, and sometimes he continuously keeps interacting with the fellow nations of his region, engaging in several different stories. No matter the situation, Portinabia has been shown to always return to the NWI whenever he sees fit, as for he considers it home.

Still, it was in these early days that Portinabia established his main characteristics: His big enthusiasm in regards to Vexillology (and how he's weirdly perfectionist when it comes to his flags), his interesting obsession over both important and unimportant lore, and his plans to further develop his own Socialist Republic in the roleplay.

## Cultural Archivist

Portinabia became the Cultural Archivist for the Department of Administration of the New West Indies on November 25, 2019. Immediately, he began compiling documents, posts, dispatches and a plethora of other content scattered throughout the region that were deemed to be of significant importance to the region. Secretary-General Karteria aided him in the compilation process.

Portinabia resigned from the Cultural Archivist on May 2, 2020, to spend more time on other activities, such as school.

## Broadcasting

On December 20, 2020, Portinabia was granted access to a broadcasting station by Secretary-General Celestiam, called "Paulo's Haunted Castle". Despite the seemingly unwelcoming name, the contents within it are rather tame. The station broadcasts topics such as, but not limited to:

* *Mega Man* series, with a special focus given to the *Classic* and *Battle Network* sagas;
* *Castlevania* series, with a special focus given to the games from the *Original Timeline*;
* *Metroid* series;
* Vexillology;
* *WWE*, *AEW* and other well known Wrestling programs;
* Long rants of constructive criticism aimed at some form of media.

## Honors

* Influence Award (First Class)
* Government Award (Fourth Class)

## Miscellaneous

* Portinabia lives (and was born) in Brazil, in the state of Goiás, and has an unreasonable hatred (but reasonable to some degree) for Venezuela - in which may be the reason he chose it as part of his claims in the first place.
* Despite only speaking Portuguese and English, Portinabia is able to understand pretty much every other Latin-based language (most notably Spanish, in which he knows about 80-90% without even speaking it), and even some Germanic-based ones as well (albeit on a smaller amount).
* His nation's beliefs do not represent his true beliefs.
* Portinabia is known for being a writer, translator and former admin of the Lusophone Branch of the *SCP Foundation*, as well as the creator of the -PT series of SCPs.
