Line 16: According to ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'', he was 48 years old at the start of the show (and presumably was 51 at the end). {{quote\|...conserve your energy. Do as little as possible. '''PRETEND YOU'RE IN CLASS!'''\|[[Antisocial Climbers]]}} <br><br><br><br><br> ==Character Overview== Line 79 ⟶ 81: He has a preexisting gambling addiction (per "[[Just Add Water]]," when DeMartino first asks Ms. Li if he can get out of going to the casino night cruise, and then when he freaks out when he steps into the casino on the cruise). He has never been married. ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") He served in the Vietnam War thus explaining his mannerisms ===Misc. details=== Line 89 ⟶ 90: His 'office' at school has an orthopedic chair "for back spasms", as well as a line of tape to mark where the door "should" be ("[[The Daria Database]]") He speaks with a thick New York accent. It's implied he is a Democrat. ("[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]") His appearance and speech are apparently modeled on actor Christopher Walken (due to the one blue eye). He is, surprisingly, a fan of 60s pop singer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annette_Funicello Annette Funicello] ("[[That Was Then, This Is Dumb]]") ==Voice Actor== Line 98 ⟶ 101: ==Misc. Trivia== * In the [[Daria Behind The Scenes Special]], Thompson said he "got it in my head that he was a [[Vietnam War\|Vietnam]] veteran". * In the Latin American dubbing, he was voiced by Gabriel Chávez. ==DeMartino in fanfiction== Line 106 ⟶ 109: DeMartino routinely appears in fanfiction as a supporting character, his vocal tic either represented through ''italicised'' or '''bold''' words or by RANDOMly capitALISED words - or a combination of all three. He is often shown as one of the better teachers at Lawndale and an ally of Daria. ~~Several~~Due ~~fanfics have, based on~~to his age, military school background, mannerisms, and comments that "a lot of good men died [in Vietnam]" in ~~his~~"Esteemsters", ~~first~~many ~~appearence,~~fanfics have made him a [[Vietnam War]] veteran. This was never stated in the show but makes enough sense to be widespread fanon. When he is given a romantic pairing, a number of fics have paired him with [[Claire Defoe]] even though they had no significant interaction in canon, outside of him taking her wind chimes and throwing them in the bin in "Daria Database" ("he just couldn't ''take'' them anymore").
