CHARACTER INFO
Name: Mail "Matt" Jeevas
Fandom: Death Note
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species in canon: Human
Appearance: (If its alright, I'll be using the fanon colors...cause I like red hair better >> If not, no big to change it.) Matt is a more or less average looking young man, or would be if not for his fashion sense. He's almost always found in a striped shirt, a vest (unless its too hot out), and goggles. He prefers to wear boots, gloves and jeans as well, but these are a bit more negotiable than the rest. Otherwise, he's got natural red hair, brown eyes, and stands 5'5" tall and weighs 115lbs.
Personality: Matt is generally a lazy guy, but certain things (or people) can manage to get him to get off his ass and do something. Mostly this involves him being shown that whatever's being done is really worth fighting for or a true friend...but he doesn't make friends all that well, so the ones he has he tends to be fiercely loyal to. He tends to stick to himself, so can be a bit awkward in social situations. Really, Matt would prefer staying home and playing video games to just about everything else--not that that's always possible. If he sees the need to break his habits to try and fix a problem or figure something out he'll do so, but is not very comfortable with it. Even in a crowd he tends to keep himself somewhat isolated.
Normally he tends to be pretty happy, though is occasionally prone to bouts of depression and/or shutting himself off from others. He can also turn serious as if at the flip of a switch if the situation demands it...however if the situation doesn't keep his attention he has a hard time staying that way. If allowed, Matt will smoke and/or play his gameboy while doing just about anything else.
Though he's usually much to lazy to show it, Matt is actually quite intelligent. He tends to pick things up and work through problems quicker than (most) other people do. If he starts on a problem, he's rarely content to let it go. Matt has a dislike for unfinished puzzles and unanswerable questions.
Strengths: Matt has high intelligence, observational skills, and creativity. He's trained in most aspects of computers (but lacking some in the 'putting things together' part) and seems to have an aptitude for them. He's also rather knowledgeable about fixing up automobiles, but dunno if that'll come into play.
When he actually gets close to someone, he's fiercely loyal--but that may be a weakness as well.
Weaknesses: First and foremost: Matt is a smoker. He does not deal well with lacking smokes, and his strength and endurance have gone down since he started smoking. He's also a lazy bastard, so not all that motivated to do things in the first place.
Matt has poor social skills, often feeling awkward and untrusting around people. He rarely shows how little he trusts people outwardly, however.
See the above "fiercely loyal"--Matt will do stupidly dangerous things for his friends if he sees him doing so puts him in danger instead of them.
Background: (lots and lots of blanks filled in...)
Matt remembers little of his life before Whammy's--mostly just that his parents died when he was in the first grade due to a car accident. He was rushed to the hospital, but only in time for Matt to watch his mother die before his eyes. He was going to be shipped off to foster care, but as the school he had been going to and his parents had been speaking of having the boy skip a few grades Whammy's House snatched him up instead. So, at the age of 6 he was moved from his home in the US to the orphanage in Winchester, England.
At first, he attempted to make friends at Whammy's, but soon started to isolate himself with his video games. One boy seemed too stubborn to accept losing a friend--a blond haired kid who went by the nickname of Mello. This made a large impact on Matt, and the two became fast friends. Even though Mello was often less than friendly when he didn't get his way.
After Mello left Whammy's Matt found himself torn. Mello was the only person at the orphanage who he considered a /real/ friend, and Mello had left with barely a goodbye. He entered a somewhat rebellious stage--sneaking out of the house when he could and occasionally heading to pubs if he could talk his way into them. This is when he picked up smoking, though he didn't start with much regularity until he returned to the US.
Once Matt turned 18, he moved away from Whammy's house; they gave him a sizable amount of money which he used to move himself to New York City, buy a nice car, and set up an apartment. From there he found the money did not stay, and started struggling to stay afloat by working as an unlicensed PI or simply stealing things when needed. His life remained pretty stagnant until Mello called him out of the blue for help.
Without really thinking, Matt dropped his life in NYC and rushed to help his old friend recover from being blown up and track down Kira. While Matt did not fully agree with Mello's methods or his rivalry with Near, he trusted the blond enough to follow his orders. Up to and including going into a situation where--deep in the back of his mind--he knew he probably wouldn't come back from.
Third-person RP sample: Matt was bored. Surveillance work for Mello was really far from entertaining, and even though he was watching Misa (who, he thought, was quite attractive if more than a bit stupid). Mostly the days went by staring at the computer screens that showed the videos he had set up. That or watching his gameboy, which he was usually doing at the same time. Every so often Mello called to check up...like he had done a few moments ago.
As almost always, Matt had nothing to report. Members of the Japanese task force had been in to check on Misa almost as much as Matt was, only they were actually making themselves known. Misa still didn't seem to know anything useful, or was much better at hiding it than she seemed at first glance. Neither option was one that Matt wanted to rule out at this point. The majority of the short phone conversation had been of Mello telling Matt to stop playing video games and pay more attention to what he was supposed to be doing. But it was so boring, and it wasn't like Matt couldn't multitask. Mello had said if Matt got too lax on it they'd slip away...but Matt really wasn't worried about that.
