Birthday: 5. of April
Personality: Matt is convinced that everything is possible. There is always a way to achieve your goals according to him. You might not see it, you may not want to walk it or you may lack he skill to do so but the way is always there. A logical conclusion of this is that any failing to achieve your goals is due to your own shortcomings. Because of this believe he has developed a very analytical mind and gotten rid of most of his moral inhibitions. It‘s not that he actively seeks to break the law or takes particular pleasure in it but he won‘t hesitate to do it if he feels that it will help him. He also spends allot of his free time with studies on a wide array of topics. He tends to be ironic and joke whenever he gets the opportunity but he can also be serious if need be.
Origin: A few years before Matts birth his father, Dr. David Githler, was victim of a terrorist attack. The attack left him physically unharmed but with deep emotional scars that would soon develop into a clinical paranoia. He became more and more of an reclusive letting nobody but his wife Amanda even get close to him. Ultimately his angst became so great that he urged her to never leave the house again. She hesitated but accepted. From then on they lived solely from the family fortune. They had fresh ingredients delivered to their front door but David wouldn‘t even eat these unless they were prepared by his wife, such was his paranoia.
It was in these circumstances that Matt was born.

Consumed by his fears David wouldn‘t let his wife go to hospital for the birth or let his son go to school or even outside of the house. He loved both his wife and his son and it pained him to imprison them like this but his pathology didn‘t leave him a chose. Still he knew that at least Matt would someday be forced to live on his own so he spent all of his time teaching and training his son in everything he could think of.
Matt went through hour long physical exercises every day of his life and his father taught him everything he knew. Once he reached the end of his knowledge he would order correspondence courses in his own name. As much as it troubled him to do give out his personal information he felt hat he would jeopardize his sons safety if anyone but the three people in his house should ever know of Matts existence.
The classes touched on almost every topic imaginable, science as well as religion and culture. David taught his son everything form science and art to even the most trivial details of the outside world, all to make sure Matt would be prepared on the day he had to take his first steps on the outside.
During all of this David taught his son one thing more than anything else. ,There is always a way.‘ he would insist on countless occasions: ,You might not see it, you may not want to walk it or you may lack he skill to do so but the way is always there.‘

One day, shortly after Matt‘s seventeenth Birthday his mother suddenly fell ill. His father, a former doctor quickly found out what was wrong with her and that a routine operation would easily cure her. It took him a long time to do so but finally he started urging his wife to go to hospital. Amanda refused, in the knowledge that the her leaving the house would result in unimaginable mental agony for her husband and that she‘d have to spend weeks in rehabilitation. Both David and Matt tried to make her go but she didn‘t , choosing her husband over her health and ultimately her life.
She died two moths later.

David, devastated by his wife's demise and still too paranoid to eat anything that wasn‘t prepared by her refused to eat even the food his son offered him. He starved himself to death within days of his wife's death.

Having lost both his parents within a week and on his own in a world he hadn‘t even seen once in his entire life Matt finally realized the truth behind his father‘s central lesson.
There had always been a way. Neither his father nor his mother had to die. Amanda could have simply gone to hospital for her operation and his father could have easily eaten the food he had been offered but neither of them did. The way was there but they couldn‘t see it. Or maybe they could but they lacked the strength of will to walk it. And what was true in this situation was true in all other situations. There was always a way to get what you want. The only thing stopping you was yourself.

Thus he left the house he had spend all of his life in, a little boy without a past, without even so much as a record or a single soul that even knew of his existence. To find what it was he wanted in this world.
And the way to get it.

History:

July Event Appreciation
Multiple Thieves

Jenni: 3,250,000
Equipment: mobile phone, survival kit and laptop.
Arsenal: Combat knife and small ax both made from metal and both blackened.

Technique Name: Solid Darkness
Technique Category:Manipulation
Technique Rank: 2
Description: Matt makes a cup with his hands and gathers the darkness in his surroundings. The darkness fills his Hands but it can and will overflow if there‘s enough. Wherever the darkness was taken from it gets brighter, shadows disappear and stuff like that. The ball of darkness is of a solid blackness and has the consistency of clay. It can be formed by hand and behaves like normal clay it can be separated and reunited without trouble.
No matter who shapes the Solid Darkness and whether he can see it or not, Matt is always aware of the exact shape of it and of the position of all the pieces in relation to his body even if they are outside of range. The further away the solid darkness is the harder it is for him to pinpoint its position though. after about thirty meters he would no longer be able to locate its position on a map and after about a hundered he would know little more than the general direction.
While the ability is active Matt can change the consistency of the Solid Darkness or of parts of it by concentrating. This does however cost him energy and works only within his range. The softest he can make it is water-like and the hardest he can make it is as hard as metal. He can however not give it other properties- he couldn‘t for example use it as glue.
Conditions:-There needs to be darkness around. in an empty room without any natural or artificial light scources he cold gather about two cubic meters of solid darkness. on a dark, cloudy night he could get about one cubic meter. He could gather about 3/4 of that on a clear night with a clearly visible moon and only half a cubic meter in a rainstorm during the day. On cloudy days he could gather 1/4 of a cubic meter and barely enough to make something as big as a spoon on a bright sunny day. (all of these are on an open parking lot without anything casting shadows exept for himself)
-The darkness has to be able to travel: it can travel though air and anything you can see through i.e. Matt couldn‘t gather the darkness inside of a solid brick but he could gather it from the inside of a bottle.
- Matt has to concentrate on what darkness he gathers. Taking a big clearly visible shadow is very easy but taking tiny or diffuse shadows takes much more concentration.
-The darkness gathers which effectively leaves Matt standing in the middle of a spotlight. This effect is so noticeable, even on a cloudy day people would see it and the darker the surroundings the more obvious the effect. it does, however not travel. Once Matt has gathered the darkness, the ,spotlight-effect‘ remains in the same position until the ability is canceled.
-Changes to the consistency of the Solid Darkness exhausts Matt and more complex or extreme changes are more draining.
-once the ability is canceled the Solid Darkness ceases to exist and the spotlight-effect disappears. Until the ability is canceled it constantly drains Matts recourses
Range: 7 meters (he can gather the darkness from within this range and change the Solid Darkness‘ consistency within that range but it can travel from there to anywhere in the world as long as the ability is maintained. At the creation it gathers in his hands.)
Effect: -gathers darkness turning it into ,Solid Darkness‘
-Matt always knows the exact shape of the Solid Darkness as well as its position in relation to his body.
-Matt can change the consistency of the dark matter within certain limits
Cooldown: 7 Posts for creating the Solid Darkness, none for changing its consistency
