[color=00aeef]He dislikes the way that the King and most of his family treat others.[/color] History:[color=00aeef] Mattias is determined to protect people. He thinks that the vanguard is a good way to do that. He is not interested in being one of the snobbish rich people that seem to always get what they want. He doesn't need a lot of things even though he has managed to earn a lot of prestige and money. His parents were nobles. He could remember when he was a kid getting into a lot of fights. He would get in fights defending the younger kids from the bullies. In the end it got him in a lot of trouble but the kids loved him. At the tender age of ten years old Matt lost his mother to an unknown illness (cancer). His father started training him hard. It was his own way to cope with his wife's loss and Matt loved fighting so it worked out well. By the time he was old enough Mattias wanted to be a knight in the vanguard. He liked the brotherhood and the fact that he would belong somewhere that he could be himself. Not long after Mattias joined the vanguard his father died. This left him in charge of his younger siblings. Mattias asked his Aunt to come and help and so she took over raising the family. The sudden death of his father put a lot of pressure on him to take care of the family. He is a very responsible man and he cares about and protects those he is close to. Matt has a sense of humor and often plays pranks on friends in down times. He has a strong sense of duty and responsibility. He also is patient but stubborn. Mattias likes to flirt with women and also intimidate men. His height, skills and power make him influential. It's part of what he does. He is also fairly blunt when you might least expect it.

[/color] Why should your character be in a position to influence an entire country? [color=00aeef]He has a strong sense of justice.[/color] [color=00aeef]Mattias watched with jubilance as the bucket of water poured all over his friend's head. He couldn't help the laughter. It had been so long since he had found the time to play around. He looked up and saw the wet man come running over the table at him. [/color][color=orange]"You asshole!"[/color] "Uh oh!" [color=00aeef]Mattias said with a lopsided grin as he jumped up and got ready for the flying tackle that would knock him to the ground. For several moments the guys wrestled back and forth trying to pin the other down. Eventually they came back to the table calling each other names and slapping each other on the backs in jest. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mattias slashed his sword and blocked with his shield and ducked all seemingly at the same time. He thrust the sword into the side of the combatant in front of him and as the man fell Matt was already moving on to the next challenger. Up ahead he could see that one of his buddies was in trouble and Mattias raised a leg and kicked the challenger in the stomach and ran over top of him slashing at the other men in the way.
