Name:
Matthew Anderson
Age:
19
Personality:
Matthew (or Matt) is very polite to everyone he meets, male or female. Most girls find it hard to tell if he's flirting or just being nice. He doesn't like to do things by himself and would rather have someone give him orders to follow. Matthew can be odd at times, but that's just because he tries to see the world from every outlook. Even though he smiles, he sometimes feels that nobody really gets him except for a select few.
However, he's a fun guy who would stop at nothing to turn anybody's frown upside down. He's a hopeless romantic, but hopes to one day finally make the girl of his dreams happy (as soon as he meets her, that is). He is also very adventurous and loves the thrill of a good book. His love for nature really provides him with a green thumb, as he's always trying to protect the natural land wherever he can by doing the smallest of things.
Matthew is very knowledgeable about a great many things, but he doesn't flaunt it around for fear of being labeled as a nerd or a geek. He often thinks before he acts, but he learns quickly from his mistakes. He's also a bit of a nerd and loves all kinds of video games, movies and television shows.
He's also a little shy and requires some prodding in order to act outside of his comfort zone, but once you get to know him and peel away the timid shell surrounding him, Matthew is an amazing guy who can easily become a very good friend. He's trustworthy and honest, taking it upon himself to act like a gentleman whenever he can.
Sexuality:
Heterosexual/Straight (And single.
Ladies?)
Habits/Quirks:
Matt tends to get rather shy around women and, when approached by one directly, he will get a little nervous. He also has a tendency to clear his throat in such situations as a way to 'shake it off'. He's also a bit of a goofball and can be very sarcastic based on the situation.
As well, Matt has almost always spoken his mind based on the situation. He knows it can sometimes get him into trouble, but he doesn't like lying. If the situation calls for it, then he is willing to sugar-coat the truth in order to help somebody calm down, but he doesn't do this too often.
In any and all situations, Matt is trustworthy, brave, and sweet. He's always there to comfort those who are in distress and when he can, he will do his best to cheer them up and get them back in the game.
Weakness:
Matt isn't very strong, which is a result of him having a rather slender build. He is, however, able to lift/move most objects as well as support his own body weight, but he can't really handle moving a car or busting down a door.
Position:
Staff (Summer Job). Position in the Park: Trainer in the Raptor Pen
Interest/Motive:
He's working at the theme park just because he needs a summer job to help pay for college, but he's also there to geek-out about seeing real-life dinosaurs.
Favorite Dino:
He was never able to pick between Velociraptors, the Spinosaurus, or the Mutha F***in' T-Rex!
Short Bio:
I'll save this for the RP, let it develop ICly.
But FYI, he's got some serious parental issues. I'll leave it at that. Plus, he has a little brother named Alex.
Useful skill:
His slender frame allows him to slip in between small spaces (ex. a tunnel/hole in the side of a rock formation), and he's very knowledgeable about Dinosaurs, having been fascinated by them his whole life.
