Jack of all trades – Master of none. Matt is a soldier who relies more on thinking ahead and anticipating movements over raw strength. He’s a reliable soldier whose strength doesn’t lie in any one particular field and is instead spread over many.
Apathetic - While potentially fearless, being apathetic is a potential weakness also. Matt has always faced difficulties when it comes to sympathizing with the emotions and situations of his teammates. Although he understands the principles of right and wrong, emotionally he may often feel nothing at all.

Temporal Projection multiples and projects molecules, allowing the armor’s user to create up to two copies of themselves for a period of 5 seconds. The projection materialises with the same equipment and can appear anywhere within 10m of the original. These projections can likewise hurt and be hurt within that time frame.
A.I.: Sloth (Rho)
A.I. Attribute: Being apathetic to all matters can make Rho seem to be ruthlessly cold and calculating at times. Devoid of almost any emotion or attachment, Rho and Matt’s relationship on the surface appears to be one forced on them by their superiors. Their personalities and sense of detachment are remarkably similar however, hinting at perhaps a certain level of understanding and mutual respect. Rho is highly pragmatic as a result and his influence on Matt is that he allows Matt to work at pique efficiency. Calculations and movements are processed in the blink of an eye with Rho at work. This means that while Matt might neither be the strongest or fastest, his ability to counter and anticipate with as little effort as possible makes him an entirely different type of dangerous in his own right.
Appearance: Matt’s look is nothing remarkable yet his aura possesses something of a mysterious quality often due to the aloofness of his attitude. Standing relatively tall, Matt is lean and athletic, the typical soldier in many ways. He has a strong set of shoulders which frame his body and is quite flexible despite appearances. Young and good looking, he has soft features partially hidden under his medium length, dark brown hair. His glowing brown, almost red, eyes and robotic arm perhaps the most remarkable features about him.
Personality: Often mistaken for being rude and lethargic, Matt is instead simply detached from most of the world. As one would expect from his ‘sin’, Matt is very much emotionally apathetic. His existing relationships are few and far between and when they do exist many are simply acquaintances. Despite this, Matt is highly intelligent and though far from the best, is more than capable of handling himself in close combat.
During missions Matt becomes highly efficient, and many officers have remarked how he moves like a well oiled machine. His efficiency is born out of the will to not waste energy ironically. In many ways Matt is a selfish human being, an aspect of his personality that he is well aware of. Because of his awareness, Matt is relatively down to earth also and is rarely one to boast or over exaggerate. Constantly operating with a calm demeanour, few situations, if any, will surprise him. Saying this, Matt still has a strong dislike for when missions don’t run according to plan.
His attitude, in addition to his indifference to almost all matters, makes him a highly favoured freelancer and often the impartial judge of the team.
History: Growing up in the army meant that Matt rarely had the chance to develop long term relationships. As the people he knew died, moved on or passed away, he grew a sense of detachment from the rest of the world. An attitude he maintains even in the present. Matt became an adopted child at the age of 8, found during a recovery mission in the charred remains of his family house. Taking him in, his strong physique and sharp intelligence made him the ideal field operative in the eyes of his superiors. Matt’s personality was a seen as a great boon within the army. His indifference to following orders, no matter how ruthless or dangerous, in addition to his quick initiative meant that he would quickly rise in ranks thanks to his impeccable record of successful missions.
Matt lost his arm whilst combating insurgents. Ambushed and captured by the terrorists, Matt and his team were made as examples and tortured openly during their time in custody. This included the decapitation of Matt’s arm. Three weeks later an elite raiding party assaulted the insurgent’s building and eliminated the terrorists there. Miraculously, Matt and his squad were found alive.
Matt recovered from his injuries quickly enough, but with the absence of his arm debate arose about whether he should be retired from the army. Yet with no life outside of the army, and in respect to his young age and skills, it was deemed by his superiors that Matt should undergo surgery to replace his missing arm with a fully functioning, robotic arm. Upon the successful completion of his operation, he would then be inducted into the freelancer project.
