Body Type: Matthew is extremely skinny, but isn't without some muscle. However, due to his height and his weight, he looks almost weeping willow-eqsue, which lead some to believe he is unhealthy - but this is untrue, he's actually rather healthy most of the time.
"I'd say about average, really."
Appearance: Matthew is a handsome young man, standing at 6'4" and weighing in at around 170lbs. He has a strong jawline - which is dusted with a some stubble - and a slightly simpled chin. His eyes are a gentle kind of blue, changing intensity with the lighting. When in the light, they are bright and seem to almost sparkle with a kindness. When in the dark, they are a dull blue, giving a feeling of being calm, quiet, and reserved. Matthew also has chocolate brown hair, kept not too short but not too long - just the right length to be able to style but be managable (From a guy's perspective at least). His skin is on the paler side, and burns somewhat easily. His build is extremely slender, and some see him and assume he's got a very serious health concern, although this untrue (Though Matthew's immune system is weak, and does tend to fall ill somewhat easily without proper diet and exercise).
"Sorry if i'm a little hard on the eyes,"
How long you have been in Aurora: Matthew has been in Aurora for four years.
"I'd say i've been here about four years,"
Back Story: Matthew was born to an average middle class family on April 17th. Growing up, he had a younger brother and sister, being the oldest in his family. His parents were very kind and parented Matthew and his siblings well, treating them very kindly. They weren't wealthy, but the family was provided for, despite the extra funds that went to Matthew due to his weak immune system (Matthew gets ill rather easily). However, his mother spiraled into a depression after she had a miscarriage, and while the family comforted her, she eventually took her own life, unable to cope with the grief. After that, Matthew took it upon himself to make his father happy and proud whenever we could. From that moment in, his family began to struggle to pay the bills. To help his family, he studied hard enough to skip a grade and graduate early, excelling in his studies in college - Becoming a certified Choir teacher/conductor/director, performer, and the youngest member on the board/committee of music directors to help his family pay the bills by sending them some of the money from his great success. Now, he is usually found at the Middle School, that being his place of employment and where he likes to spend time catching up on work.
"Nothing big, I grew up in a pretty normal house."
Special Skills: Matthew is an extremely fast and skilled runner - Running, turning, and jumping like a professionally trained athlete - Simply because he trained himself as a cross country and competative runner whenever he had free time. Matthew also has unexplainably very sharp hearing. If he hears something strange, he'll probably hear it before anyone else. However, it also works against him since grating, piercing, or extremely loud noises will practically immobilize him and stun him with a kind of strange, unexplainable pain. The sounds he can hear can be the smallest squeak from the further distance and Matthew would still be able to pick up a bit of it.
"Nothing special, really.
Personality: Despite his careers, off stage and out of the classroom, he's rather shy and very modest. He's extremely polite and very soft spoken, not liking to be the center of attention more than he has to. He's very lighthearted, generous, and kind, and enjoys making others happy - Always sincere. He's been likened to his favorite food, the sweet Mirschino red cherry. He's not confrontational at all, not liking to resort to any physical violence unless someone else is being hurt or to defend his own life. In any other circumstances, he'd simply run and hide. However, Matthew is also somewhat sensitive, not taking any harsh words very well. However, with the current crisis, Matthew is extremely paranoid and afraid, wrapping any wound at all until he's practically covered in casts - Terrified of contracting the virus.
"Well, i'd like to help people in any way i can. I can always spare something for someone who needs it."
Note: Matthew is also a certified band and orchestra teacher, but only because to be certified choir director, you must be certified for band and orchestra as well. (True Fact)
