Code Name:
N/A
Age:
18
Gender:
Male
Powers/Special Abilities:
Matthew has the ability to alter the space time continuum at his will, but sometimes not, due to his mood or how much rest he has. The way his ability works is unclear to him and others. Time manipulation is one of Matt’s weaker abilities, but prominent all the same. He is able to slow down, stop or reverse time. Although, the longest he is able to do such for is unknown, his limit at the moment being eleven minutes.
By ‘Folding time’ Matt is able to travel back in time, but his true limit being a day. The length of time he travels back into and alters differences what happens when he returns. F.ex, if he were to travel back a day and change something major, when he returns to the current, a number of things would be different depending on how much he changed and the scale of it. Therefore, Matt does not tend to delve in such actions. He is also able to stop it for short periods of time, and has never pushed ten minutes.
By ‘Folding space’, Matt is able to move instantaneously through space, and take objects with him. This releases a great amount of energy, and if quick enough, some people are able to move through a ‘scar’ left behind, ending up in Matt’s destination. By travelling in short bursts, Matthew can build up the energy and push it at something, the force either breaking it or throwing it backwards.
Matt does not know much of his abilities, he is uneducated on what they are capable of and the damage they can cause. Therefore, until he can understand their full potential, Matt often exercises them, but for short periods of time.
Appearance:
Matt is tall, almost six feet. What he chooses to wear is nothing special, mostly jeans and shirts, with baseball speakers. He wears a moderate amount of jewellery, dog tags and the like. He has olive skin with dark light grey eyes and mid length brown hair. He is well built with moderate muscles.
Personality:
Matthew can be described as rude, selfish and rowdy. He is a typical part-goer and slacks off assignments and jobs, either bribing or paying someone do to it for him. Although he appears to be dim, Matt is actually an extremely intelligent person, and if he puts his mind to something, he can prove his brainpower. Although obnoxious, Matthew turns out to be a ladies man, and tends to attract them. Matt isn’t angered easily, due to his laid-back and blasé demeanour. He is a procrastinator, and will leave something right before a deadline, before completing it, choosing to do other things to waste his time, normally getting drunk is the option. Under this attitude, Matt can be revealed to be a considerate person. He uses gut feelings and will act on them without thinking of the consequences, which are normally what he doesn’t expect. He has good intentions for people, and doesn’t favour confrontation. When confrontation arises and in unavoidable, Matt will rise to the occasion, if he feels there is a need to fight whether it be protecting someone or a fight for pride. He can be very reserved about his feelings, especially those for a girl. Where he is a ladies-man, Matt tends to end relationships quickly, but keep to himself long term feelings for a girl.
Hobbies:
Girls, parties, cars, beer.
Weapons/Equipment/Skills:
Matthew is a fast runner, which he uses with his powers to build up energy.
History:
Matthew was born in San Francisco, California. As a child, Matthew was rather reserved, and tended not to join in with the other children, as he was more intelligent. Because of that, he was isolated. Soon after, he made a few friends who where like him. In high school, Matt found out that if he acted a certain way, he became popular and gained attention. He soon became the class clown and his grades stayed low. The teachers knew he was intelligent but no amount of discipline could change him. He got through with just above average grade and soon became a popular kid. Unlike jocks, Matt didn’t bully other kids, for he knew what it was like when he was younger, and would often defend them, by distracting the bullies.
Matt was always a difficult character to teach, but by the end he would pull himself together and get the grades needed. All the while he became popular with girls and soon developed an interest in them. As Matt was in his teens, his abilities developed. One night, he was being chased by a bunch of boys, for hitting on one of their girlfriends. As he was running, he felt time was slowing. Turning, he noticed that he was going back, back to the point of where he met the girl. Instantly, he turned from her and out of the bar. bewildered, he returned to home and tried to forget it. One day, he woke up late for school. It was an important day and another late would get him in severe trouble. Running up the road, he tripped, and fell through something. He realized that he was outside his classroom door.
After that, he began to seek help, trying to find an explanation of the strange occurrences that were happening. He found someone, who was affiliated with the X-Men, he had briefly heard of. They offered him a part, but he declined. They offered to train him, and on weekends he would turn up at the mansion and practice his powers. It took a while, as his abilities required a lot of practice. After two years, Matt ceased training and went to a college in San Francisco, studying literature, where he now spends his time. Often, to get away, Joe will spend some of his days in different countries, making portals to them. Currently, no one he knows is oblivious of his abilities.
Role Playing Sample:
“Why can’t you do this yourself?”
Grumbled a skinny boy, sitting behind a laptop. Matthew was leant against the table, with a beer in hand. He scanned the bar, for anyone interesting he could kill some time with. Maybe pick up a girl. Anyways, this was the bargain. Pick up a girl for an essay. Turning, he poked the laptop and raised an eyebrow.
“You agreed. I’ll find you some girl if you do this assignment, by tomorrow.”
He grumbled and Matt shrugged. He watched as a group of girls walked into the bar. He noticed the boy watching them intently and scoffed.
“Seriously?”
His cheeks flushed and he shrunk behind the laptop, nodding. Matt rolled his eyes and waited for the group of girls to notice him. Well, they were okay…If you were desperate. Meanwhile, he went up to the bar and ordered another beer. Leaning against it, he looked at the girls and pointed to his buddy with the laptop.
“Hey, he thinks you’re hot.”
Two of the group scoffed, but one, with rounded glasses hesitated. She stood, and moved over to the table. Grinning, Matt lifted an arm and pointed to her. Noticing, the guy shrunk slightly and began tapping furiously, that should entertain him for an hour, and get his assignment done. Sure, he could do it himself, but where was the fun in that? Besides, he needed a chick to take up his time, and what better an opportunity. Chuckling Matt took his beer outside. Puffing his cheeks out, he ran a list of places he could teleport to through his head. Looking at his beer, he recalled the last time he had tried to use his powers whilst intoxicated. He had ended up in the middle of Hong Kong’s busy streets.
Soon after he decided against it. Maybe he would take a trip tomorrow. Possibly to the beach. It was summer after all. Stretching, he returned to the bar. His buddy was in a conversation with the girl, about the assignment. Extra help wouldn’t go a miss. Matt sat at the bar, and eyed up a girl, sitting alone. Scooting over, he began talking with her. An essay finished, and a good looking chick. Maybe he should take her back to his dorm. If he was lucky.
Well, he was a lucky guy.
