Matt is a highly gifted but wildly disorganized kid from Wammy’s House, raised by his single dad and plagued by ADHD. A tech-savvy genius with an insatiable curiosity, he picks up new skills effortlessly.
“When the fuck did learn this?” “… uhh last night?”
Otherwise, he’s notoriously lazy. Mello’s best (and only) true friend since childhood, Matt becomes his last anchor when everything else crumbles after shit hits the fan.
Lefthanded.
Wears glasses instead of goggles. Has -4 diopters. He gets himself some goggles in L.A. because he thinks they’re cool and sometimes uses them when he’s tinkering but he isn’t exclusively wearing them since he needs glasses to see. He wears them around his neck sometimes. Glasses reference: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/glasses-sun-glasses-free-229dcc6df0404aa7a30083b12bf3a85e
Stripes are his design trademark. A girl once complimented him on his striped T-Shirt as a kid. He almost exclusively wore stripes ever since.
Has inattentive type ADHD. Matts head is full of chaos. He‘s struggling enormously to concentrate on any task that‘s not bringing him some form of enjoyment. He has hyperfixations and stims a lot to concentrate better. Matts stims can be really annoying, holy shit. Tapping fingers, clicking pens, cracking knuckles, wiggling his legs, excessive blinking. He has "idle animations“. Imagine it like other people are just standing there, still, both feet on the ground, and for Matt it‘s softly swaying from one leg to the other. Or rocking back and forth on his chair. Can drive you crazy watching it.
Scared of dogs. Was bitten by one as a kid.
Caffeine calms him down. Started drinking coffee and black tea as a kid.
Matt has no verbal filter whatsoever. He says the first thing that comes to his mind, regardless if it‘s rude or inappropriate. His comments can be quite hurtful but he rarely means what he says in a hurtful way and often doesn‘t understand when people feel attacked. "I‘m just sayin‘..." is his phrase. He‘s cheeky, sarcastic and in-your-face. Needless to say, he doesn‘t have many friends. Ironically, Matt lies about himself a lot to hide his insecurities and fears. "Pfff yeah, I totally don‘t care at aaalllll...." (he cares). He has a dry and sarcastic sense of humour and shoots out jokes so witty, nobody laughs because they didn’t get it. He can get a laugh out of Mello regularly but the typical reactions from others to his jokes are either awkward silence or a heavy cringing moans "By god, Matt… just shut uuuuup…".
Matt is incredibly insecure about his weight
Mello zu Matt: “Dein roter Faden ist ein Teller Spaghetti”
Despite how laid back and goofy he is, he’s quite introverted and barely talks to people. Matt likes being alone in his own little microcosm and hates being the center of attention. His social anxiety kicks hard in large crowds of people. Usually Mello has to be the one to drag him outside. He has some depressive episodes every now and then. Matt thinks Mello is cool and consideres him to be his best friend. He finds everything about Mello endearing and fun, despite, or rather because of Mellos antics. They’ve both found a peer in each other, who not only can hold up with the others cognitive skills but laugh about the same stupid jokes. They’re totally vibin’. Though, Matt often wonders if Mello actually cares about him as a friend, or just hates him. It’s the Anxiety™. Eerily, Matt starts smiling when bad things are happening. Not because he’s sadistic, there’s just some faulty wiring in his brain that makes him smile at disaster, like a hyena is giggling when agitated.
Can solve a Rubic’s Cube like he never did anything else in his life. He never learned algorithms, he just solves it.

Mello hat nen gaydar, Matt nicht. Matt wird auch manchmal von Mädels angebaggert und er checkts nicht. Oder besser: ein Mädel fragt ihn “Hey wer ist dein heißer Kumpel da drüben, wie heißt der? ;)))” und Matt steigt voll ein “mmh yeah, he’s a hottie right ;)))” “Ohhh du bist vom anderen Ufer, hm?” “Ja, aus England, woher weißt du das? :)”
Matt sieht mal in nem Laden irgendein Schwert oder ne Machete oder irgendne scharfe große Waffe halt und steht mit leuchtenden Augen vorm Schaufenster und meint “das hol ich mir” und Mello guckt ihn schräg an und meint nur “ja aber bro was machst du denn dann damit??” “…….sssstuff” “Mhm” Und Matt holt sich das Ding und weil er das Gefühl hat, sich vor Mello zu rechtfertigen, benutzt er das Teil für allen möglichen Scheiß. Brot schmieren, Steak schneiden, Haare schneiden, rasieren (da greift Mello spätestens ein “NEIN DU HÄLTST DIR DAS DING NICHT AN DIE KEHLE”)
Let‘s not forget that this guy is a fucking genius. Matt has approximate knowledge of many things and excels at connecting the dots like no other. He reads a lot, watches a lot, listens a lot and takes in information like a sponge. He‘s the type to go "Oh boy, 3 AM, let me read through the Wikipedia page to the history of Venezuela real quick!". It’s a little difficult to follow his train of thoughts. He thinks so incomprehensibly fast, his mouth just can’t keep up with it and the words are overflowing. If Matt wrote the LABB murder cases instead of Mello it would all be narrated in the same style of the Bill Wurtz videos and we all know it. Generally, Matt has BIG Bill Wurtz energy, holy shit.

Speaking of: He’s a huge gamer most of the time~ If there‘s a thing that can keep his concentration up, it‘s gotta be technology and video games. As a true millenial he has a thing for Pokémon-cards, consoles and lives in the internet. He‘s the kind of guy that can spend hours finding the rarest glitches and bugs after completing a game. Matt dismantles everything he owns at one point or another.
Tends to mumble and speak too fast. Matt knows a lot of language chunks from reading through foreign online forums. knows vastly technical terms, though. Knows some croatian swear words from Mello and basic Latin from Wammy‘s too. Doesn’t give a shit about spelling and his pronounciation of foreign languages is horrendous. Has no trouble learning new scripts though. Cyrillic? Easy. Japanese Kana, Kanji? Eat it for breakfast. Chinese? Come at me bro! He‘s probably even fluent in Wingdings and Binary.

<aside> 🗨️ Fluent Japanese Learned for the Kira case after leaving Wammy‘s by watching anime with Mello. Hey - if it works, it works.
“でも今やったらおれが勝つね。”
the successors all had to learn japanese and matt likes to say stuff like “konnichiwassup” and “arigathanks.” mello is always like “can you stop omg” but he secretly thinks its funny. (tumblr)

“Titulier’ mich nicht so!” (Matt als Kind)
Matt can draw better than Mello because ADHD → doodles → practising → draws sketches for his comp builds/3D printing/graphic stuff on his computer. And it drives Mello INSANE. He’s like “Hey Matt check this out-” ← “It’s you!” Matts puts it on the freezer or somewhere on his desk. Frames it for him or worse: tattoos it on himself. Because I really think that man has some awful stick and pokes he gave himself when he was like 16.

Relatively tall, a bit chubby. Touseled auburn (reddish brown) hair - he owns the I-just-woke-up-from-the-longest-nap-look. British paleness, green eyes & freckles. Wears glasses, since he’s shortsighted. Matt is naturally quite strong but he’s not trained. Like, AT ALL. If necessary, he’s able to lift a fridge, but is out of breath immediately after and needs a sandwich from said fridge. Stairs are the enemy. Has like 50 T-Shirts in all kinds of different sizes but only wears 3 of them effectively because they’re comfy. All of his clothes are pretty worn down and have holes and stains from god-knows-what on them. Stripes and nerdy prints are his thing. He‘s too lazy to shave regularly once he starts growing facial hair, so there‘s always at least a bit of stubble. He just looks shaggy and smells like sweaty damp clothes most of the time. He still has that terrible red wig, goggles and dirty old vest he found on a junkyard once and uses it as a disguise every now and then.
[🔸] In 2.1, it’s even worse, because he’s trying to appeal to Mello and for him it feels like Mello is making a sacrifice. He might like him for his personality or something but no way in hell would he ever like his body (Matt’s thoughts).
In the pining phase, Mello one time made the big mistake to comment on how Matt should please put a shirt on when he’s coming out of the shower with Matt interpreting this as “he thinks I’m ugly :(” when in reality, Mello couldn’t deal with being aroused by a shirtless Matt.
Matt is trying to lose weight several times, with Mellos comment lingering in the back of his head all the time, but not in a healthy way. Like, he just refuses to eat sometimes. Mello notices.
Und vielleicht ist das auch was, das er nur der Dunkelheit anvertraut. Die beiden hatten schon ein paar Mal Sex, aber es war immer recht düster dabei. Und er ziert sich, sich vor Mello auszuziehen, wenns mal hell ist
Oder sie hatten grade und liegen keuchend nebeneinander. Mello macht den Seestern und Matt verkriecht sich sofort unter ner Decke
