Country of Origin: Canada Name: Matthew Williams Gender: Male Height: 5'6" Weight: It's a secret Age: 17
Year: Junior
Club(s): Hockey Team [Captain]
Appearance:
Personality:
Timid, soft-spoken, and sensitive; Matthew is the epitome of a 'good kid'.
He has a tendency to to shy away from the things that make life a hell-hole, avoiding conflict if at all possible (even at the expense of his own pride.) Despite this, Matthew seems to never have lady luck on his side. He is usually in the wrong place and the wrong time; at the receiving end of trouble even if said trouble was never his fault to begin with.
If given a chance, Matthew would take a bullet for a complete stranger. His kindness towards others, friends or no, only matched by his sheer stubbornness. And while he loves helping others (wither it be in homework or some friendly advice) he is usually over-looked for never leaving much of an impression on people. Some would even go so far to say that he was 'invisible' at times. This never deters Matthew's spirits though, and 'putting other before oneself' is a philosophy he holds very dear.
Considered either one of his most endearing or faulty traits, Matthew does not know the meaning of 'taking it easy'. He is constantly looking for things to do and wanting to help his friends in any way possible. This Canadian does not like anyone doing work that he can do himself. He'd much rather his friends be comfortable and sit around while he takes care of things around the dorm (cleaning, shopping, cooking, etc.)
Matt's stubborn streak often comes at the expensive of his own health, however. Even if he is completely exhausted, he will take the extra time to make sure everyone else is comfortable, fed, and in good health before even thinking of tending to himself (if he even does that.) Matthew could be ill and bed-ridden but would still make attempts do work around the dorm. Even if he is told to rest and not do things, he will change the subject and worm his way into it somehow. A stern scolding is usually the only way to keep him down.
He may stutter quite a bit, but this boy knows how to use words to his advantage! While he might seem timid all the time, if pushed too far, he will step up to the plate. He has no limits when it comes to belittling people with words at this stage and will use these words like a dagger.
Naturally for him, he feels pretty lousy afterward. Sputtering out apologies left and right.
While he might not be much of a fighter, Matthew can be fairly aggressive competitively. Getting easily excited and into games, you see a completely different personality more akin to his brother. It can really throw people off considering his usual demeanor.
Deep down, Matthew just really wants to be recognized as someone in life. To be a person his friends and family can look up to with pride. However, his fear of change prevents him from being this person...
Likes:
* Hockey * Snow * Bears * Maple-Syrup (anything maple-flavored, really.) * Pancakes * Video-games * History * French * Quiet
Dislikes:
x Sour food x Invasion of personal space x Change x Violence
Strengths:
* Hockey * Video-games * Studying * School work * Keeping quiet
Weaknesses:
x Apology Overdose: Matthew has a bit of a weird habit. He's always apologizing for things that you should never have to apologize for in life. It could be because a friend is sad about a past event, about apologizing too much, or even because he is breathing. He has gotten better over time, but he does not know how to stop.
x No Self-Confidence: He has absolutely none. Other people are amazing in his book, but he believes that he is only weighing everyone down at times. He can never look at himself in a good light.
x Lying: It goes without saying that Matthew is probably the worst liar on this planet. Matt is always darting his eyes away and starts getting really nervous after lying to someone. People are quick on picking it up.
History:
Matthew had always been good in school. He was a star pupil in many courses and excelled when he was introduced to a French class in school.
When offered opportunities to travel abroad for further learning, Matthew would shy away and find some excuse for not wanting to leave home. Naturally, it was a loss of some great potential.
Matthew came from a pretty good family, albeit one that had it's share of issues.
His mother died at a young age and his father practically raised him and his older brother alone. Matthew would often do chores around the house, then retreat to his room to study or read. A stuffed animal that his mother had given him always at his side.
He'd remain in the shadows as his brother got the credit for all the work. Whenever he did try to explain that he had done it, his father would get furious. More often than not telling him how horrible it was that Matthew would assume his brother could do such a thing.
It started at the chores and went on to homework, then taking the rap for things that he had never done. It seemed like no matter what Mattie did, he could never gain recognition for anything (unless it was something bad, of course.)
For the first time in his life, Matthew had had enough of living in the shadows. He decided to leave home and go to a school away from home. He gained a scholarship to World W Academy and quickly packed his things to leave.
Upon saying his good-byes, his father caught him at the door and hugged him close. Telling him that he would always love him; no matter what Matthew did in life.
It was at that moment that Matt realized what he had done: He was leaving for somewhere on a whim induced by his anger. A decision that he should have though more clearly about.
But, there was no turning back now.
He solemnly left the place he called home with tears in his eyes. Fear of what awaited him in this new setting away from everything he knew...
