Template:Cquote

**Mort Schaeffer** is a student of Jefferson County Middle School and one of Milo's classmates. He tends to be very spiritual, and he's the fourth member of the band Just Getting Started.

He is voiced by Greg Cipes.

## Personality

Mort is very spiritual, practicing New Age beliefs, such as knowing the properties of rose quartz and talking about having a blocked chakra. In "Going the Extra Milo", it is possible he may be a vegetarian, as he wagered his "vegan cheese sticks" to see if Milo and Zack would make it to school on time. Unlike Bradley Nicholson, he acts more civil around Milo, and treats him like a friend; he even came to Milo's birthday party. Mort and Bradley seem to be friends and are often seen together, though Bradley's condescending attitude and lack of understanding or agreement with Mort's beliefs occasionally leads to friction.

## Physical Appearance

Mort is much taller and stockier than the majority of the students. He has a long, rounded face with a prominent nose, light skin, and dark eyes. His brown hair is shaved at the sides and the back, leaving him with a thick mohawk.

He wears a dark, navy blue T-shirt over a light gray long-sleeved shirt and pair of blue jeans with folded cuffs. His shoes are red sneakers with white soles and gray laces.

### Childhood

In first grade, Mort was larger and taller than the other students his age and still had the same haircut he does now. He wore an open beige jacket with a brown collar, brown cuffs, and three brown buttons over a navy blue shirt.

Mort also wore a pair of light blue jeans and a pair of red sneakers with white soles and gray laces. He had a blue backpack with black straps.

## Skills

* **Drum Skills**: As a member of Just Getting Started, Mort is great at playing the drums for his band.
* **Interpative Clown Dance**: In Cast Party, Mort took interpative clown dance class that allowed him to calm a bull down. It would have succeeded in doing so if the gold statue didn't break the bull out of its trance and chase him and Chad out.

## History

### Early History

As a young child in first grade, Mort went to John P. Trystate Elementary school alongside Milo, Melissa, Amanda, Chad, and Bradley.

## Relationships

### Chad Van Coff

Mort appears to be good friends with Chad, and the two are often seen spending time together outside of class. Mort seems to be the student most easily influenced by Chad's constant theories and tends to put serious consideration into his 'evidence'. When Chad lists out the information he'd collected in trying to prove that Mr. Drako is a vampire, Mort admitted that he was beginning to think it could be true. During Picture Day, when Chad mistakenly takes Milo as a vampire, goes to Mort to help gather evidence, which Mort easily obliges to.

On Halloween, the two of them were tasked with setting up a party together but acknowledged that the children were going to be disappointed by their lack of effort.

### Milo Murphy

Mort is on friendly terms with Milo. Unlike most of the other students, Mort has an easygoing attitude and doesn't tend to worry too much when it comes to Murphy's law. This, combined with his personal beliefs, lead him to blame his misfortunes around Milo on a blocked chakra rather than Murphy's Law. The two of them are both members of the band *Just Getting Started*, with Mort on drums and Milo on accordion.

### Zack Underwood

Mort is on friendly terms with Zack. They are both players in the Jefferson County Middle School football team, and the two of them are a part of the band *Just Getting Started,* with Zack on lead guitar and Mort on drums. During their first live concert, Mort initially took Zack's reassurance to heart, calming himself down at his request. He was quick to forgive Zack for treating his bandmates badly and related the experience to a dance movie cliche.

### Bradley Nicholson

Mort seems to be on friendly terms with Bradley and hangs out with him on more than one occasion. They worked on the same group project alongside Amanda, although Mort had to remind Bradley that they were on the same team after he'd been included in the latter's jeering. Mort argues against Bradley when he disregards his beliefs, claiming that Bradley would understand his need for Rose Quartz if he knew its properties.

### Amanda Lopez

Mort and Amanda are classmates and seem to be on friendly terms with each other. They were on the same team alongside Bradley during a group project, and during the school dance, Mort helped Amanda remove Milo's shoe from some glue. The two of them sat together and talked during Christmas Eve dinner with Milo, Melissa, and Zack's families.
