[b]Any unusual traits? Does it show physically?:[/b] What's really unusual about Don, is how healthy he seems!  Well fed, strong, brimming with energy- not something you see a lot of these days.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Don Matthews is a man of medium build, and average height.  In a crowd, he blends.  There is an energy about him though.  His bright brown eyes and white teeth seem so out of place, as if the War passed him over when death came to town.  His shoulder length hair shines healthily, soft to the touch.  Don's wardrobe is about function, and he can usually be found wearing a pair of tough denim pants, sturdy hiking boots, white long sleeve cotton under layer, with a leather vest and heavy overcoat to boot.

[b]Brief Personality:[/b]  Don plays well with others.  Until he doesn't.  He'll twist your words, break your arm, then take your last tobacco cigarette.  Don tells himself he takes no pleasure in what he does.  Tells himself he does what it takes to survive.  But that sense of pride?  Knowing that he is capable of doing what others wouldn't?  What others couldn't?  It's that sense of accomplishment that sends him off to sleep with a smile.  Despite his imperfect nature, Don is a cheerful fellow who doesn't take life too seriously.  "This life is short, brutal, and cold.  Why waste energy worrying about it?"

[b]Background: [/b]  Don Matthews was around nine years old when the War broke out.  For the better part of his life, he had been traveling from place to place with his family and other nomads.  At 19, Don was exiled from his tribe, for reasons to this day he has remained silent about.  Armed with a rudimentary knowledge of machines from his mechanics apprenticeship, Don Matthews headed out into the world, desperate and alone.  Don survived with his wit, lying, cheating, doing whatever he could to get the upper hand.  Along the way, Don met Eddie Donahue, who coincidentally was running scam of his own at the time.  After repeated mishaps and run ins with each other, the two agreed to work together for mutual benefit, resulting in a decade long partnership. They travel the country, sometimes stealing, seldom helping, and always leaving their mark.
