[h1]Matthew Donatello Carter[/h1]

[b]Image or Description:[/b]
Short dark and finely combed hair, asides from the long pony-tail he grew out. Black eyes that always seem to have a far-away quality to them, as though he were not totally there. He stands at 5'5'', though he seems taller due to his habit of walking around on tiptoes. His skin is somewhat pale, and he has dark circles under his eyes. Matthew has a perpetual smile on his face that is somehow able to convey more than one emotion at a time.

[b]Personality:[/b]
[indent]Matthew is a pathological liar, a sadist, a nihilist, an optimist, and overall just a very confusing person. He is a hypocrite of massive proportions: He enjoys poking fun at peoples insecurities and failures, but at the same time dislikes other people doing the same. He spits at liars, yet is a pathological liar himself. He is disgusted with talented people, yet is even more disgusted with people that try to put them down. He is a nihilist, yet belittles people who have no purpose in life.

Still, there is a method to his madness - though trying to decipher that method is an exercise in futility for normal people. Despite his ever revolving table of values, there are things that he holds strictly true to himself. These form the cornerstone of his mentality and prevent him from completely going over the end, and keep him 'eccentric' rather than 'insane'. 

He believes that actions once started must be finished - for good or for ill; he believes that you must be willing to take as much as you can give; he believes that, ultimately, humans are not born equal nor are they equally valuable - yet he also believes that everyone has an equal shot at finding happiness for themselves; finally, he will, without exception, cheer on and assist those who are struggling. 

He puts on a constant - and extremely obvious act - nearly all the time, always smiling and eccentric. He acts in an energetic manner, and is prone to violating others personal space or just making them feel uncomfortable in general; no that he cares much about how some random stranger feels. 

He is oddly very attached and supportive of those he considers friends - though that will hardly make them an exception to his barbs and other disturbing habits; though those he calls friends may not share the sentiment. Nevertheless, he is a surprisingly loyal friend, and will honestly try to help them when in need.

He appears to care very little for his own self; or at the very least, he's got no self-esteem to speak of.

He is also somewhat of an open pervert, constantly talking about this or that fetish.[/indent]

[b]Biography:[/b][indent]
From nobody to monster - that sums Matthew up easily. Born from a normal, albeit slightly impoverished family from Erridún, Matthew was a normal though somewhat introverted boy. He easily scared, and was a crybaby in the extreme. He played with kids, but often got excluded from games which did little for his self-worth. Still, he was a far-cry from the person he is currently.

What changed him was a certain incident during a game of hide-and-seek with neighboring kids. Eager to prove that he could play with them evenly and not end up crying or scared, he sought out the best hiding spot ever! This eventually led him to the back of a retirement home, where he spotted an open window, and a pile of junk he could climb to get there.

What followed was something that no one else knows about, and that he has never bothered repeating.

He landed and fell into the room of a dying and raving old man. The old and delirious madman took one look at him from his bed, and began screeching at him at the top of his longs, raving endless nothings at a petrified Matthew, who was to frightened to even move.

This went on for hours, and Matthew was stuck in the room for one whole night.

By the time faculty came to inspect the room, Matthew had long lost his fear, and in place of that fear, curiosity gave way. Somewhere along the way, he stopped shaking and started talking; started asking questions, to which the old man responded, and to which Matthew nodded in understanding. By the time he was found, he was carrying a back and forth conversation with the corpse of the old man - the madman had died hours ago.

Since then, he had changed, his personality twisted. He acted as though he were suddenly enlightened, and it seemed as though he no longer feared anything. He visited the old man's grave, referred to him as 'Master' and ostracized himself from the neighboring kids all the more - but this time, he hardly seemed to care.

His parents, hoping that he would go back to normal after awhile, gradually realized that whatever change had taken over him, it was permanent. Slowly, his personality twisted more and more, until there was no trace of the shy and introverted boy that he was. Instead, a scary kind of confidence had engulfed him.

Unsure of what to do with him, or what his motives in life were now. His incomprehensible and frankly sociopathic behavior was slowly driving them to their wits end; they were unable to predict how he would act, or what he wanted out of life.

Which is why, when he said he wanted to apply for St. Fortuna's, they jumped the gun and gave him their full support. At last, a somewhat [i]normal[/i] request to come from him.

As for Matthew, he was intelligent enough to gun for a scholarship, even if his true interests lay elsewhere, somewhere asides academic pursuits. [/indent]
