Overview
Tango Octavious Swottlebottom III is a character in Dimensional Deep End. He is the upcoming antagonist of episode 3A, and the main antagonist in Tango’s Intellectual Mathematics.
Tango is a counterpart of Tristan in the parallel dimension "Bling Blong Swoomgle Dlop". However, despite being a counterpart of Tristan, he also shares multiple similarities with Dave, in the sense that he is a single father and has a job as a math teacher. He and Dave battle in the upcoming song Prepare.
He is the adoptive father of Cuble, has a good relationship with his roommate Jackster, and barely tolerates Jimble.
Appearance
Tango is a tall, middle-aged humanoid referred to as a 'Papotomian'. He has yellow skin, a light blue metallic shirt, burgundy pants, and yellow shoes.
He has black 'hair' in the form of black text sitting on top of his head.
The most notable part of Tango's appearance is the text on his shirt, which constantly changes and shifts to equally obscene and offputting phrases. The phrases in question paint Tango as a much worse person than he is in actuality.
Personality
Tango is a comically loud and arrogant person. He gets irritated very easily, taking anything as a challenge even if someone does as little as look at him funny.
Despite his temper and ego, he cares for the people he lives with (even if he doesnt ever show it). Tango often teases and bullies people as a show of respect, as his perception of showing kindness is completely flipped on its head.
He doesn't ever like being one-upped by people, as shown in Prepare when Dave is able to answer Tango's 'impossible questions'. His fits of rage can even cause him to be violent. The only people who he is relatively normal around are his family.
Background
Tango is the 3rd born of the Swottlebottom lineage, a family mostly consisting of infamous oligarchs and tycoons. He was rebellious and yearning for a normal life from a young age, resentful of the fear people showed him because of his family.
Tango harnesses super strength, and the ability to turn himself, objects, and even other people into text. When he was younger, he used this power on his own father, turning him into the text on the shirt he wears.
Tango got Cuble at some point before he became a math teacher. Cubles biological mother was terrified of Tango showing up for a cup of sugar, handed over Cuble as a ‘sacrifice’, and Tango was stuck taking care of Cuble ever since. He and Jackster met shortly after Tango "adopted" Cuble.
