Character Name: Matthew Williams
Gender: Male
Country: Canada
Age: 16
Student or Teacher?: Student
Grade: Sophomore
Status: Loner. Maybe a bit of a nerd.
Character information:
Matthew is just your average teenager. He goes to school, has hobbies. But there is just one thing. Nobody ever seems to notice him. He is always pressed to the background by more popular people, such as his new brothers. Because of this, Matthew has a lot of anger build up inside of him. He holds it there for the most part, though he can’t help but make some nasty comments sometimes. Though often they are so subtle, they can also be easily ignored by people.
On the outside Matthew is quiet, a bit shy and insecure. Though when it really comes down to it, He can be one hell of a bitch. People commonly see him as weak, because he dislikes fighting. Though Matthew is strong. He just doesn’t show it off.
One of the places Matthew is really in his element is on the hockey field. He has been playing since he was little, so he is quite skilful. Though he’s not the most muscled of all, he is pretty fast and agile and can easily dodge the bigger players. He hopes that his new school has an ice hockey team that he can join.
Matthew will eat anything with the taste of maple syrup, but his all time favourite stays pancakes with maple syrup. Now he is in America, he dislikes it that he can’t find as much of it in the stores anymore. Or the stuff that he finds isn’t “real” maple syrup.
Past of the character:
When he was young, Matthew lived with his parents in Canada. Though two years ago Matthew’s mom died in a car accident. Matthew stayed with his dad, who eventually moved to America and remarried there. Now he has three new stepbrothers. For a while, it was only him and Alfred. Arthur and Peter still lived with their father in England. But now they also moved over to America to live with them.
On his previous schools, Matthew was bullied a lot. Resulting in that he’s more quiet than the others. He has trouble speaking up in stressful situations.
Roleplay Sample:
Matthew sat in class. He had stopped paying attention a while ago. He stared out the window, stifling a yawn. He wished it was almost time for lunch break. Even though he had nobody to sit with. That was the downside of being a new kid. Of course he could maybe sit with Alfred, but then it meant he had to put up with him being the 'hero' all the time.
The lesson wasn't particularly boring, but he kept being ignored. The teacher had asked the class several questions. Matthew had raised his hand at a couple of them, though the teacher had picked someone else to answer it every time. Even when he was the only one who raised his hand, Matthew was ignored. Maybe he didn’t raise his hand far enough. Maybe it was because he was sitting in the back of the class. Or maybe he had just simply turned invisible. He didn’t exclude that possibility.
Matthew laid his arms down on his table and put leaned his head onto them. He didn’t really mind being unnoticeable, since it meant he wouldn’t be picked on so much. But it would be nice if there was just someone who noticed him. Just once…
