Character Description:

Fresh faced, smiling, young man in a college football jacket… with the back of his head missing. For those who can see him anyway. His shoulders are disproportionately large, like some kind of body builder's wet dream. His skin has a faint latticework of pulsating electron trails running under it and old style monochrome green computer text scrolls across his pupils.

Character Bio:

That rich kid they named that sports scholarship after after he blew his own brains out in the old ironworks. Yeah, that’s me. Boo.

HISTORY


A college footballer born and raised in Stark, he took a sports scholarship to Jacksonville University. Matt was always a bit of a shy kid. Gifted and athletic though. He kept his head down, focusing on his studies and his sporting future. Hard work and sacrifice now for gains down the track.

His shut in lifestyle made him easy prey when he went back to Stark to a party with his old high school buddies. He still doesn’t know who or what she was, but the girl he met in the bar that night took something from him. It left him weak and regretting all the decisions he’d made. What future did he have? What was he doing with his life? He couldn’t handle this.

Matt stole a handgun from his dad’s house and went down to the old warehouse he used to play in as a kid. There he ended it all… or so he thought. The wealth of regrets of everything he still hadn’t done kept him to the shadow of this world.

Matt was found by rogue Artificers in the warehouse and entered the society of the dead. He spent the better part of a year as an apprentice working the Soul forges in Stygia. In time a memorial plaque was put up in his old school and their sports scholarship program was named after him. He checks in there every now and then, it gives him a good feeling.

He found a talent for haunting the Skinlands. Scaring the kids who dared each other to go inside the place he'd died. Matt escalated to touching the living in the bars and clubs. Riding them through their joys, pains, and lusts. He stepped it up to beating up and terrifying those who preyed on each other. A good act, maybe, but against the rules of the Dictum Mortum.

The Order of Acherontia Styx investigated and captured him. They talked Matt into cutting a deal. Work for them or be Soulforged. He's a bit of a wild child, but that fits in fine with the eccentric personalities of the Order, Stygia's cops trained to protect the Shroud from both the Underworld and the Skinlands.
