Body Temperature: Matthew's body temperature tends to sky rocket, almost as if he has a fever (which he doesnt.) He's learned not to really notice it, though he does realize that he suddenly feels hotter than normal, but it doesnt bug him as much as it did when he was younger. (He does worry a lot of people, afraid he's just going to randomly collapse)
Hot Head: Though usually calm cool and collected, when Matthew uses the element fire, he tends to become very hot headed and barely anyone can get through to him. He ends up going on a rampage, yelling at anyone and anything about whatever it is he's upset about.
Parched: Matthew gets very thirsty, almost like a dog who had been sitting in a very hot car all day long with no water. Give him a pitcher of water and he will drink all of it, and it still wont be enough. He needs at least four pitchers before he's satisfied.
Wet Clothes: It doesnt matter if Matthew is standing in front of the firing range or not, he always ends up sopping wet if he uses the water element. He's learned to carry extra clothes with him and luckily his hero had assigned his suit to be water proof after learning the hard way.
Dirt: It's strange and weird and Matthew hates it, but after using the earth element, he starts to crave the need to shove...dirt into his mouth. Sometimes he's able to resist until the urge subsides, other times the craving is so strong the poor male sadly gives in.
Limitations
"Are we almost done?"
One at a time: Matthew can only use one element at a time, and even switching element, there's a five minute waiting period. So he usually tries to stick with one element. Though if he needs to switch, he waits five minutes, if he needs to switch again, he has to wait ten minutes. The time keeps going up by five minutes each time he has to switch.
Fire: Though this is one of his go to powers, Matthew cant use it for a long period of time or else he starts to burn up and then he will pass out. Either he burns up, and starts sweating profusely or he starts to choke on the smoke that surrounds him.
Water: Matthew rarely uses this one and mostly because there is not always water around. He needs a large surplus of water by his side to be able to use it and last. If there is enough water though, Matthew can only use it for at least fifteen minutes or until the water supply runs out.
Earth: He has a time limit on this and can only use it for about fifteen minutes, (twenty if he's lucky). Though he has to dodge his own attacks and Matthew hates using this because he's not too fond of craving dirt at the end.
Air: He gets very light headed after this, almost to the point where it's like he's drunk. Matthew cant walk straight and he has to lie down. He can only use this for ten minutes since it's very strong and powerful.
Former Assigned Hero/Power
"Tch, dont even mention her."
Salamander: Control all fire, breath fire, eat fire, does anything he wants.
Reason(s) why fired
"I really didnt do anything...at least I tried not to."
Honestly, it mostly has to do with ego. Sure there were a few times that Matthew had embarrassed Salamander with the fact that he ate dirt after using the element of earth. But the biggest reason that he got fired was cause Salamander was afraid that he was going to steal the spotlight (which wasnt Matthew's attention) even though his side kick didnt have strong powers whatsoever.
Personality
"some people think I'm too serious."
Serious ll Observant ll Caring ll Logical ll Realistic ll Calm
Matthew is a very serious, no nonsense type of guy. He hates the thought of fooling around while there should be work going on, or goofing off while there is still work to be done. He'll fool around when work is done...that is if you count planning to renovate his room, or come up with a new game as fun. He is very observant and can pick out most detail, which leads him to have a very stoic expression, his features never changing, never cracking a smile or even smiling. Nothing can shake him, there could be an explosion for all he cares and he would stay calm, commenting that it needs to be taken care of without any worry or panic on his face. Though he's very serious (sometimes too serious) Matthew can be very sweet and caring to those that he considers his friends. His actions may be small, but he believes that actions truly speak louder than words. He's not one to praise someone or compliment them out in the open, instead he gets people little things, maybe their favorite chocolate, their favorite drink or something small that he needed. Though it doesn't seem that way, he's very considerate. While Matthew believes that optimism is a good train and so is imagination, he's also believes that being logical and realistic is just as important and if someone comes up with a "stupid" idea (one that he deems as unrealistic) he's not afraid to shoot it down.
Biography
"I'd run if I were you..."
Abandoned at a young age, Matthew has never known the love or warmth of parents. Not even foster parents wanted to take him in, sensing that he was different. So in the end he grew up in a orphanage, forced to grow up faster than he wanted. He went to school, sometimes went to the store to get groceries and went back to take care of the children. Slowly he started to realize his own powers and that's how he would entertain the children sometimes, the children that loved him dearly. Though one day one of the caretakers saw him playing with some water and entertaining the kids. She screamed and they threw him out.
He was only thirteen.
Out on his own, he wandered the streets, until he ran into someone. Now already upset, he lost his cool and immediately fire swirled around him. The man known as salamander noticed this and took Matthew in, paying for his education and helping him hone his powers. All was good for awhile, though Matthew still lacked the love of parents of the feeling of belonging, he was content. Everything was going well until he turned eighteen and things started to change.
Salamander seemed to get more aggressive, got angered easily and yelled at him a lot more. Matthew didnt really understand it so he just brushed it off as the male having a hard time with the higher ups, so he made sure to lay low, though that didnt really change. One certain day, being told to use the earth, Matthew listened and the ending resulted in him on the ground, shoving dirt into his mouth and Salamander yelling at him, others laughing. When they finally got back, he got a huge scolding and he was then fired on the spot. And so with a nod of his head, Matthew quickly packed his things and left.
