Name: Matthew Lance Kelly
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance: At 6’2”, the first thing anyone ever notices about Matt is that he’s (more often than not) taller than you, having had his growth spurt earlier than others, and will more than likely stay that size for the rest of his life (at least until he gets old and begins to shrink). Despite his size, however, he doesn’t look as threatening as one would expect, his body being rather skinny (a generally fatal mistake to make). He wears glasses to compensate for his red eyes’ abysmal vision, which constantly slip down his nose.
Out of personal taste, Matt is seldom seen with very casual clothing. To him, the black dress shirt with red tie he often wears is how he feels the most comfortable. It’s very rare to see him with a simple T-shirt, or even shorts (which he has a big disdain for).
Dorm Wanted: 103, or something.
Classes Wanted: Pokemon Basics, Pokemon History, Pokemon Anatomy, Pokemon Philosophy, and Battling Techniques
Personality: Matt is generally friendly. He’s oftentimes the one who initiates a conversation, and most people enjoy conversing with him. A mathematical genius, it’s not unusual for him to try to determine everything through logic, even if it’s something that makes little logical sense (I’m looking at you, game Pokedex entries).
However, Matt has a bit of a problem following authority, stemming from his constant rebellions with his parents’ idiosyncrasy of hating Pokemon. If a command or rule doesn’t make logical sense to him, or gets in his way, he’ll ignore/break the rule, and usually not care for the consequences (unless he can rub it in the authority figure’s face). Of course, this doesn’t mean he goes around breaking every rule he can find, nor that he back-talks to every adult that gives him a command, just the ones he disagrees with, which tends to get him in more ruts with authority figures than he really should.

History: As twins, Matthew and Catherine essentially spent their whole childhood together in the same Pokemon-banning home, even before they even took their first step in that home.. And an inseparable pair they were, Matt always looked out for his little sister, saving her a few times from the neighborhood bullies, saving her from drowning that one time she fell into the pond near Route 38, and made sure he was there to catch her the times that she fell off the trees she climbed (all the times).
From a very young age, Matt found fascination with Pokemon. All his life he always wanted to own one, and even caught his first ever Pokemon, a little stray Pidgey when he was 7. The moment he took it home proudly, his parents promptly released it into the wild, and gave Matt the first of many harsh beatings that would follow his rebellion. Despite not catching them, Matt would bring stray Pokemon home all the time, often giving them refuge in his attic, but every single time his plans were foiled and the Pokemon were sent to concentration camps[citation needed].
One night, as he sleepily went down to the kitchen for a glass of water, he caught Catherine attempting to escape from home. He said nothing and sneaked out as well, following his sister out into the wilderness, which was extremely surprising to him, it being very uncharacteristic of her, and all. But instead of running away from home, Catherine just went out to play with Pokemon, just like Matt used to when he was younger. Smiling warmly, he was about to reveal himself to his sister until she triggered the rampage of stampeding Stantler. Catherine ran towards him, yelling at him frantically to run away, which didn’t even need repeating. Before they knew it, the two were running far, far away from the danger. Or well, at least to town.
In the chaos that ensued, Matthew found a flyer for Cherrilli Academy. He pocketed the flyer and smiled, he had found his ticket out of here. But you already knew that, right? Matt and Catherine escape, and happily ever after, and blah blah blah blah. But not really, since happily ever after implies an end… one we haven’t reached.
Secret Word: You’ll never get me to say fruitcake. Wait. Crap. Never mind.
