Mathias Andersen is a hard individual to understand. He is loud, energetic, and easy-going. He has a large heart and isn't afraid to make an observation and say what's on his mind. He wears a rather constant grin, even during the times when he is feeling his worst. It is this constant expression to the point of extreme simplicity that makes people rather wary of him in a short amount of time. Caring- Mathias is an unusually caring individual. He wants nothing more than to see everyone around him smiling and as happy as he is. He enjoys helping people, and perhaps this is the reason why he finds himself enjoying the company of children. Arrogance- There are times when his willingness to help seems to evolve into arrogance. And saying that Mathias doesn't possess a level of it would be mistake. Mathias is proud of what he can do, and he is just as proud of his family. He will brag quite passionately about his friends, his mother, and at times, his own baking and strength. Praise- Being a boisterous individual, he takes great enjoyment in praising other's accomplishments. When he sees that someone excels at something, he isn't too proud to shower them in praises and congratulations. Familiar- He acts familiar towards other people, and many times people mistake that for rudeness. He only calls people by their last name if they tell him to, and the Dane finds it a necessity to know a person's name the first time they meet. He also won't hesitate to ask someone a personal question. His home language completely lacks a word that means "please" and it isn't rare for him to miss the word in the English language. It's not his fault, but often it will give the Dane the appearance of being rude. Openminded- One of the Dane's most redeeming features is his open-mindedness. Mathias doesn't care how old a person is, how angry they are, how kind they are, or what kind of past they had. He enjoys being around the many different kinds of people there are, and he is glad that the world was blessed with such a huge variety of them. Despite this, he can still be offensive unintentionally. Clueless- Moving back to the clueless air, Mathias isn't exactly the brightest cookie in the box. Although he isn't a complete imbecile, at times he annoys others when he fails to understand something. This clueless air of his is also a bit of an act at times, as he tends to ignore any negative emotions hurled towards him. When insults are tossed at him, he attempts to put up a wall to ignore them, even when they hurt him. Loud mouth- Mathias has always had a rather large mouth, as well as tendencies to speak without thinking. This can often get him into trouble, and though he never means some of the more wild things he says, it can be hard to stop. Imaginative- Mathias’ imagination is very active. He isn't the type to shy away from telling a crazy stories from his experiences and adding fun and crazy elements to them. This imagination also goes hand-in-hand with his drawing artwork, even though he isn't that good. Clingy- One of Mathias' worst traits is that he cannot bear to let go of anything. Especially when it comes to people. Mathias can be clingy to the point where a person finds themselves wanting to get away rather than stay near him. He tends to smother those who are close to him with the best of intentions, but it isn't rare for these intentions to get him into trouble. This is quite possibly the Dane's biggest weakness, and he even hates this about himself, but he can't help it. It has gotten better with time, but it still needs healing. Giving- Those who are close to the Dane know he is a giving individual. He enjoys baking food for people and would gladly share his lunch to those who do not have their own. He will do anything it takes to make someone who is down crack a smile, and isn't against giving them a good-natured hug or a pat on the back. (Mathias is famous for his bear hugs.) He loves to make people happy, and sometimes he finds that if the people around aren't happy, well then, he isn't happy himself. Rash- Mathias is always up for an adventure. This same side of him is the part that gets excited over just being around his friends. This is the fun, bouncy side of him that one will find talking excitedly about what he loves. His magnetic personality also draws people in if they are unused to how he is. Some find this aspect of the Dane rather obnoxious, but it is also part of the reason so many people love him. Secretive- Mathias can be rather secretive at times. This isn’t anything he means, but Mathias just doesn’t like talking about himself. He’d much rather talk about other people or make up crazy stories. However, if you do ask about Mathias’ life he’ll be willing to tell, but that is only if you ask, and usually what he does tell is quite vague. He figures that when he is ready to tell, he’ll tell, or he’ll end up blurting it out at some point anyway. Also, one should never expect Mathias to tell you if he is scared or hurt or even upset, because he doesn’t enjoy looking weak. Prankster- By his nature, Mathias is quite playful. He enjoys playing pranks, as much as the next guy, and even more so, he loves lame jokes. He likes to take and send people out on ridiculous adventures. He has a slight habit of performing stupid magic tricks on people and failing, only to shrug it off and try again. This playful nature makes it easy for the Dane to laugh at himself, as well as at others. Bully- He doesn’t mean this bullying, but sometimes he can’t help it. It can be hard for him to realize the difference between playing rough, and playing too rough which can lead to trouble on his end. It isn’t rare for him to toss someone high into the air against their will, or spin them around until they are dizzy. Most of the time he doesn't realize how strong he is, and sometimes this can leave a negative impact on some of his friends. Patient- Mathias does know when he has made a mistake, always hopes for the best. If he has accidentally hurt someone, and he is aware of this, he will apologize and make it up to them. He always looks and wants the best, and because of this, he is honest, and good natured. He wants to believe what people tell him, and is never suspicious of them without good reason. He is quite patient with people who don’t deserve his patience, (Although he can be impatient in other areas.) and he always attempts to understand their motives. Gullible- It is because of this good-nature and desire to understand, that Mathias can be quite gullible. It isn’t hard at all to trick him into believing a total lie, or even catch his attention by telling some kind of crazy story. He isn't aware most of the time of how gullible he can be. Family- He is without a doubt the "cool" uncle or cool older type. He treats almost every person around him with the same familiarity someone would treat a person a close family member. He likes to tell people that it is a Danish thing, but it is just a part of who he is. In fact, it isn't rare for him to fight for the little guys or give them lectures on how to defend themselves. Yes, this does make it hard for him to fall in love, and he knows this, but he knows he'll find someone someday. Loud- If I haven't mentioned it already, Mathias is loud. Loud and often times, quote obnoxious. His voice and his stories can be both inviting and at the same time they can be annoying. When Mathias is excited, his volume only grows, whether you are inside and outside. Social- One of the most notable features of the Dane's personality however, is his lack of fear for people. No matter who they are, or how much they have hurt or threatened him, Mathias won't be afraid of them. He has many other fears, but the fear of a specific person doesn't exist within Mathias. No he isn't shy. He isn't afraid to look someone in their eyes and tell them that they are wrong, or that he likes them. This is how Mathias gets along with so many different kinds of people. In Short- Mathias Andersen is a tall, fun-loving Dane who can at times be overbearing. But he is always a loyal friend, and is one of the most fun people you could ever be around. |
Likes | Dislikes |
Beer- Seen as a social thing, Mathias greatly enjoys going to bars and drinking with his friends. He does not do it to just “get wasted” but rather to relax and have a good time. Baking- Because what's better than making yummy treats for everyone to enjoy? Not much. Kids- He has a huge weakness for children. Their simplistic view of the world is very refreshing and he finds he doesn't have to try so hard to make them happy. Bikes- He can drive, but he much prefers his bike, and it's almost embarrassing how much he rides it. Working Out- Yes. He works out and enjoys doing it. Showing off his body- with and without clothes-- is a great joy of his. Comfort- Atmosphere is everything to this Dane. He enjoys feeling warm and safe, and he goes through candles quicker than he'd ever let on. People- Mathias' love for people is almost juvenile in nature. He likes treating most people like family and would give the shirt off his back if he could. His trusting nature could easily be misconstrued as naive, but he knows full good and well just how awful people can be. He just chooses to overlook it. Pork- Quite possibly his favorite food. End of story. Smiling- Mathias has a wonderful grin, and isn't afraid to show it off when he is feeling good about something. Hugs/Cuddling- For a man of Germanic background, Mathias is quite touchy-feely. He completely lacks an idea of what personal space is, will invade a person's bubble without so much as a second thought. Sandwiches- Pork being his favorite food was a bit of a lie. He loves smørrebrød just as much, and give him both, he'll be in heaven. | Negative Qualities- He prefers to ignore the ones he possesses. He knows sometimes he can be a bit overbearing and loud (among other things), but he chooses not to acknowledge it. Technology- It's not so much that he hates it, but that he can't use it. He doesn't like to rely on it either. Corruption- Whether it happens in the government or it's someone close to him, a person who lies and cheats is not the person for him. Being alone- He'd much rather be surrounded by a group of friends than all by himself! Clumsiness- Mathias is a klutz. He isn't terrible at dancing, but he does bump into and knock things over more than he'll own up to. He doesn't like this, but he knows it's his fault for being so reckless. Betrayal- No one in their right state of mind likes being betrayed. Mathias absolutely abhors it. He really tries to do his best all the time, however, there are many times when it just doesn’t pay off. People taller than him- This is really something tiny that bothers him. Being quite the tall dude himself, when other people are taller than him, it is frustrating. Dishonesty- Dishonesty isn’t the way to go, ever. Mathias doesn’t like to lose his trust in people, and although it takes a lot for that to happen, lying to his face is one of the ways it'll happen the quickest. Chronic complaining- Mathias is supposed to be open-minded but something just bugs him about people who can’t find happiness, especially when others are trying really hard to make it for them. His Name- He doesn't hate it, but he just prefers being called Mathias, which is his middle name. |
Dreams | Fears |
Retiring to the countryside- What's nicer than living in a place with a small amount of people, a lot of land to yourself, and no stink of the city? Not much. Becoming World Renowned- Not in the sense that he himself really desires to be famous but he wants his bakery to become an international travel destination more than anything. Getting married- Mathias dreams of having a nice family complete with two to three perfect lovely little children. He knows that with his current job, settling down is a little hard, but it doesn't hurt to dream, right? Plus, he considers those who work for him his family, anyway! | Heights- Heights are quite possibly one of Mathias’ biggest fears. But you didn’t hear that from me. He hates airplane rides, looking over the edge of fjords, tall roller coasters, mountains, huge waterfalls, tall buildings, all of it. He doesn’t know how exactly this fear developed, but it's been around for as long as he can remember. He doesn't really talk about this fear to people, but when confronted with it, he tends to tighten up quite a bit, and become extremely jumpy. It’s probably not a secret to anyone at this point. Losing his family and friends- Mathias loves his friends, and he loves his family. Mathias’ stubborn streak has a hard time accepting death, and even worse, sometimes he'll go into denial over it. When he falls for someone, he falls for them hard, and losing them is something he fears having to deal with, even if he has before. Not being good enough- . Mathias wants to be everyone's best big brother. Even though he knows that he isn’t the best and that not that many people see him as an older brother. He tries to live up to the expectations that a role model should have, and sometimes he gets the thought in his head that he isn’t good enough or that all of his efforts have been in vain. His worries that this is the truth has more or less developed into a full-fledged fear over time. |
Background |
Early Childhood- Mathias was born in the Danish city of Aalborg. His father left his young mother a few weeks before he was born, leaving his mother to raise him completely on her own. It was challenging trying to raise such a rambunctious young boy who easily got into trouble. When he was around three years old, Mama Andersen enrolled her son in a nursery school. While Mathias did seem to have fun at school, he got into enough trouble to get booted from the program pretty quickly. His mother then had to take matters into her own hands and stay home with him until he was old enough for primary school. School Years- It was during these years that bully in him began to emerge. The class clown, trouble-making situation he had in nursery school was replaced with a mean-natured trickster that picked relentlessly on the other kids. It wasn't until around the time he was in seventh grade or so, that he gained a group of “followers” that only increased his infamy around the school. His mother did know of the trouble he caused at school but since her son seemed to be the picture of perfection at home, she didn't know how to confront him about it. Around the beginning of the eighth grade, Mathias met a young woman who he became fast friends with. It was rare for him to make friends that weren't just just a part of his little gang, but it wasn't long before his friendship turned into one sided love. Something inside Mathias longed to please this girl. In fact, it didn't take him long to lose his tough-guy resolve as he tried everything he could to get her to return his feelings. He would stuff flowers in her desk, put letters in her bag, and leave her presents for various holidays. However, she never returned his affections, and soon enough she started dating one of Mathias' closest old followers. After this, Mathias never seemed to regain the fire in his heart, and he had completely given up on being a school badass. But this didn't stop the others from ganging up on him, wondering why he had suddenly turned into a “pussy” who could not fight. One day Mathias returned home with many bruises and bumps after being involved in a particularly nasty fight, and it was then that his mother decided that enough was enough. She began to look for another school for him to go to, eventually stumbling upon an International school in America and deciding to send her son there for the rest of his schooling. High School- It was in high school that the Dane really found himself. He opened up more and laughing more. As he progressed through high school he slowly became the jovial person we know today. He ended up with a large circle of friends and was able to realize his dream of being a baker. University through Present- Once high school was over, he wasn't sure how much he wanted to return home, and although he did want to see his mother again, he decided it would be for the best if he continued his schooling in London. But, after a year or so of schooling, he realized that it wasn't for him, and he dropped out of the university. Still living in London, and completely jobless, he went on the search for a fixed income. He had a hard time finding anything or receiving any call backs until he met a friend from his class at university. This friend told him that with his build and knowledge of both English and Danish that he might have a job for him. This friend connected him to the M16 where Mathias underwent training to be a field agent, seemingly forgetting about his old high school dream of being a baker. After working for a number of years as a field agent, the Dane found himself longing for a job as a baker. However, he found himself hard-pressed to leave behind the life he had come to know as a agent. So he applied for a job as a fixer. A few years passed until he got permission to start a base in a small building bought by the company. Here Mathias is the one that receives commands from headquarters and he leads missions with his team. Not only does he do that, but his base also serves as a hideout/ safe place for agents in need of help, as well as a good pastry. |
Role-Play Sample |
It was absolutely hopeless. Mathias has spent the entire damn day searching the school far and wide for a person—any person, that would be the perfect candidate to join his beloved swimming team. But no matter who he asked, passed by or tried to recruit, there was a stunning lack of interest in the team. These younger students seemed to lack the drive it took to be a part of the school sports programs. Not that Mathias could really say anything for himself. He could remember back in his freshman year, he wasn’t really that interested either. He was still quite hung up in his, ‘Too cool for anything’ phase, in which he wanted people to see him as this super cool, well-adjusted individual when in reality he was more or less a young boy with no friends who lived alone with his mother. But this one boy, who was a senior during the time he was a freshman, moved up to him while he was having lunch with his first friend at the school, and pretty much begged him to be on the swimming team. In fact, thinking back on it now, Mathias wasn’t really sure why he agreed… But in the long run of things, he did. And somehow he also ended up as the captain in his senior year. Strange how this stuff happened. But either way. He didn’t choose to be captain. The previous captain dropped the already dying team, which left Mathias, one of two seniors left, in charge. Now it was up to him to save the day… But man… this was just going terribly!! He just wanted to go hang out with his friends!! That was what high school was about after all! Fun, friends and—Mathias blinked. Was that…? He stopped and took a peek through the window that overlooked the pool. That was definitely a splashing sound he heard!! He smiled to himself even brighter when he realized that said person in the pool was someone he hadn’t ever seen before. Well… he had seen her before… but she definitely wasn’t a member of the swim team. He watched her swim back and forth, back and forth, back and forth for a number of times, before she sat on the edge of the pool and began to ring out her hair. To be honest, Mathias was already picturing her on the team as he burst through the door and into the pool room. He ran up beside her and squatted, lightly tapping her shoulder. “Hello there!! I’m Mathias, and you probably already know me, but I run the swimming team here, and I was watching you from that door over there…and…” He tapped his chin a moment, thinking of what to say to her next, “And I noticed you were a really good swimmer! Did you learn that on your own? Or is your power to be a really amazing swimmer?” He crossed his arms before deciding to remove his shoes and let his feet dangle in the cool water. “Sorry to spring this on you so suddenly… but we really need members… or else… well.. the team might be broken up! Then what would this lovely pool be used for!?” He shook his head. “By the way, what is your name? I’ve seen you around with Lili before… and I think we’ve spoken before… but… Maybe my memory is a little shoddy.” |
