Name: Matthew Wynne
Gender: Male
Species: House mouse.
Age: 19
Occupation or class group: College freshman. Otherwise, Matthew is unemployed.
Physical Description: Matthew does not have the most impressive appearance. In fact, he stands at a meager five feet or so. He doesn't have much muscle or fat to his build, and looks as though he hasn't played a sport in his life. He's covered with a layer of well-maintained black and white fuzz, forming a conventional pattern over his figure. His big brown eyes seem almost too large for his face and certainly do match the cheerful smile he tends to wear, but otherwise he really isn't anything special.
History: Home educated throughout the majority of his life, Matthew seldom had an opportunity to make friends. In fact, his perhaps overzealous parents went out of their way to isolate him, in order to protect him from "bad influences." As a consequence, Matthew retreated into literature and film to find individuals (albeit fictitious ones) to identify with and relate to.
The consequence of this was a shy, bookish and weak young mouse. This ended poorly when he was finally thrust into high school to complete the year necessary to receive his final academic results. Matthew was ostracized almost immediately. He was deferred through two school councilors, both of whom were willing to concede that the problem was in Matthew's inability to integrate himself. The mouse was only disappointed by this, but he kept on trying to make friends despite the caustic reactions he tended to receive.
He completed his secondary education with remarkable results. His parents felt that he could perhaps have done better, had he been able to complete his education at home. Nevertheless, Matthew took his fancy scores and applied to numerous colleges, all of which would allow him to stay away from home. It was daunting, but he found he was determined to succeed in a social environment regardless of high school's trials.
Personality: Matthew is very shy, quiet and lives more in books than he does the world around him. Despite this, he tends to be cheerful and optimistic, causing him to behave somewhat awkwardly when he feels energetic and doesn't have the confidence to express it. He really doesn't seem to 'get' people just yet, often equating them to characters in his books and films. And he tends to chat to himself, which might make him look just a bit crazy.
RP sample:
He made his way in through the college gates, clutching his books firm to his chest and doing his very best to keep from collapsing. There appeared to be people everywhere, chatting and being otherwise noisy. He couldn't make out anything distinct amid the chatter. Although he was certainly anxious, he drew in a sharp breath and made his way forward, murmuring quietly to himself.
"Well, I suppose I can't put this off forever..."
Tentatively, he shuffled his way over to a nearby student. The husky towered over him, facing away and conversing with a pair of other dogs. Matthew tried to rouse his attention with a quiet "excuse me," but it appeared he went misheard. He tried a couple more times to the same effect, before awkwardly moving away in search of somebody else that might be willing to help him.
