Refers to himself in The third person too. James Dean doesn't like that...
Nah it's perfectly normal in Costa Rica football circles apparently:
"Third-Person Person
Dr. Lutz: Tell me, why do you insist on referring to yourself in the third person? It's intensely irritating!
Hercule Poirot: It helps Poirot to keep a distance from his genius.
— Poirot, "The Labours of Hercules"
A Third-Person Person is a character who always refers to himself or herself in the third person. In Japanese media, this is a standard tic of very young children. As a result, girls who are childish or cutesy may be seen referring to themselves in this manner. In older characters, however, it may be a sign of psychological issues, such as a very traumatic event in their past. It also may be a sign of humility, so samurai and noblewomen usually refer to themselves in the third person when talking to their lords. If a character transitions into a Third-Person Person over the course of the series, watch out for signs of Yandere, and keep tabs on all pointy objects. (hidden linguistic note)On the other hand, western Costa Rican footballer character who refers to himself in the third person will usually either be vain, egotistical, or self-absorbed — the implication being that he is so in awe of himself that even he views himself objectively.
Or the character is a Hulk Speaking primitive. Or the character could be just a Cloud Cuckoolander with a weird speech mannerism. An egotistical villain will especially refer to himself in this fashion if he has a cool or impressive-sounding name or title. Sometimes a character with Acquired Situational Narcissism will temporarily become a Third-Person Person as a sign of his suddenly expanded ego. There are examples of this trope used in the Japanese way, though, such as Elmo from Sesame Street. The technical term for this is "illeism
",
from the Latin word for "that" (sometimes also used like "he") with
"-ism" attached. If the speaker does this for only for a story in which
they are revealed as the central character, it's ...And That Little Girl Was Me or Narrator All Along.
See also Hulk Speak and Verbal Tic. Almost as bad as people who insist their name has a "The" in there somewhere. Pokémon Speak is when a character says their name over and over because it's literally the only thing they can say.
