quick   little   notes   about   newt   since   i   don't   have   a   detailed   bio   up   yet   :

newt   was   born   in   berlin   &   lived   there   until   he   was   about   15   years   old.

newt   was   the   product   of   an   affair.   his   mother   ,   monica   schwartz   ,   is   an   opera   singer   &   his   father   ,   jacob   geiszler   was   a   piano   tuner.   both   were   married   to   other   people   when   they   met.   jacob   tried   to   do   the   right   thing   &   leave   his   marriage   to   marry   monica when they discovered she was pregnant   ,   but   monica   rejected   him.

monica   basically   left   newt   in   the   hands   of   his   dad   &   his   uncle   illia   to   focus   on   her   opera   career.   jacob   was   distant   when   raising   newt   due   to   his   broken   heart   over   monica.   thankfully , illia   doted   over   newt   &   even   encouraged   his   growing   love   of   music & science.

newt   went   to   MIT   at   the   age   of   15   &   earned   six   doctorates.   he   even   began   teaching   at   the   university   at   a   young   age   while   pursuing   the   extra   degrees.

newt   formed   a   punk   band   with   a   few   friends   called   the   black   velvet   rabbits   during   his   time   at   MIT.   he   was   the   keyboardist   &   back   up   vocals.   the   band   was   not   great   ,   but   it   had   a   small   cult   following   &   they   performed   at   a   lot   of   campuses.

he   joined   the   pan   pacific   defense   corps   when   he   was   25.   black   velvet   rabbits   broke   up   when   he   left.

newt   &   hermann   had   met   via   online   chats   &   had   been   in   contact   for   years.   they   only   met   two   years   after   newt   had   joined   the   ppdc.   their   first   meeting   was   not   great   &   they   agreed   not   to   talk   to   each   other   ever   again.   unfortunately   for   them   ,   they   would   be   forced   to   work   with   each   other   in   the   future.

newt   loves   all   things   kaiju   &   nerdy   ,   especially   anime   &   godzilla   films.   he's   also   a   huge   tattoo   lover   &   his   arms   ,   torso   &   back   are   covered   in   kaiju   tattoos.   he's   working   on   getting   his   legs   fully   tatted   too.

he's   pansexual   &   has   had   quite   the   extensive   dating   past   despite   claiming   to   be   horrible   with   relationships.

post   the   first   film   ,   newt   suffers   an   intense   amount   of   stress   ,   anxiety   &   PTSD.   it   takes   him   a   few   years   before   he's   back   to   something   close   to   his   normal   self   again.
