CHARACTER
Name: Matthias Race: Human Nationality: Free Marcher Mage?: Yah Age: 16 Affiliation: Rebellllllllls Occupation: REBEL MAGE Goal: Voice testing AND semi maybe kind of sort of apping for a specific plot arc About:
Matthias is a scrappy survivor and try-hard rebel. He was taught to be obedient and kind and generally moral, a simple peasant boy of the Free Marches, but also not to put up with too much shit or waste time crying over spilled milk. There was little time for coddling in Matthias' childhood. Born one of seven kids, raised by hard-working parents, Matthias knows how to get by without much. He craves attention and praise, having had very little of it in his life. A few words of kindness from the right person can send him spiraling into a paroxysm of loyalty.
He is deeply loyal, easily encouraged to a cause, and difficult to disillusion from issues or people he cares about. He has always developed crushes easily, and even after he’s fallen out of them, retains deep loyalty to his former beloveds--man, woman, or cause. He often fixates on the aloof, determined to win their praise and approval.
He has seen injustice, which has made him want to fight injustices. Compromise frustrates him. Being underestimated frustrates him more. Matthias might be young, but he has seen shit. There are few people in the world who understand where he's come from, and what growing up in a warcamp has meant.
He craves approval and acknowledgement, but resents pity. While it’s true that his life in the Tantervale Circle and war was hard, Matthias considers it to have been a trial by fire. He’s proved that he can take it, whatever it might be.
He is impulsive and acts before he thinks. His rebel streak was fanned to a flame during the height of the mage rebellion. Matthias and his fellow baby mages were reared in battle and trained on the fly. Without any deep study or tutelage, Matthias' magicwork has developed inconsistently, and he rushes through any spell or enchantment in his eagerness to deploy them. He's more guts than brains, and he reacts quickly. His lack of formal education is a source of embarrassment to him, and he will get defensive if anyone calls him on it. He’s young enough that he hasn’t been Harrowed yet, which he’ll also try to talk his way around.
Matthias makes friends with ease, and enemies with equal ease, especially if mutual hate of someone will get him a fast friend. His principals and ideals are often what block friendship. He can't get his head around putting up with someone who might be at odds with what he believes, and he refuses to try to understand anyone who would compromise their beliefs for friendship. The latter is somewhat hypocritical, because in truth, Matthias' own belief could soften for friendship. He wants badly to be liked, to have a solid group of people he can call his own. Among the rebel mages of Tantervale, Matthias had camaraderie, and he misses it badly.
Matthias wants to be a hero, and to find a cause worthy of him. Are you the one, Inquisition?
