Matt

Ask me anything
Introduction xxxxxThe question is, which is to be master -- that's all. Description xxxxxMatt is conventionally attractive in a low-key, boy-next-door kind of way: a very light-skinned white man with dark brown hair and unusually vivid green eye -- a striking feature he shares with his four siblings, to whom he otherwise bears little resemblance. He stands 5'10" and tends not to look particularly bulky even when he is healthy and fit, and at present he is once again on the lean side though nothing like the fearful emaciation his acquaintances may remember from his harrowing bouts of recurrent Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. His speech, body language, and overall affect at baseline is distinctively effeminate in a way most people will read as queer. He dresses in a nerdbro-to-smart casual spectrum and has a knack for showing up slightly, charmingly over- or under-dressed. Reputation xxxxx History xxxxxThe eldest of the five Tessier siblings, Matt had a fairly unstable childhood, varying from unpleasant to truly awful depending on their mother's partner of the moment. Transplanted to New York during his teens, he did not find his circumstances much improved by the change. When Lucien's abilities manifested, the brothers fled from home and supported each other -- and as much as they could as homeless runaway teens, their younger siblings. xxxxxThough they both graduated high school and entered college, academic and professional aspirations were put on hold when Matt was diagnosed with lymphoma, a recurrence of a childhood illness that has only grown more difficult to treat each time it returns. Years of grueling chemotherapy on and off did not cure him, but Prometheus did, after kidnapping him from his hospital bed and falsifying his death. During his stay, the researchers used his CSF to develop a mutant power suppression serum. He was eventually rescued in a raid led by Jax and Ryan, but his experiences in Prometheus left him with deep scars and a fierce determination to help free others from a similar fate. xxxxxReturned to his siblings with a new lease on life, Matt became an instructor at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngers, and in time an X-Man, as well. The death of their mother Elie Tessier had left the custody of the younger siblings to Lucien and Matt, something they had been fighting her over for years. Things seemed to finally be looking up for the Tessiers, except that the early-manifested power of their youngest sister Sera was causing progressively more damage to her health, eventually relying on Matt and Lucien's powers to keep her alive. When another recurrence of Matt's cancer diminished his ability to maintain Sera's treatment, her health deteriorated until she died, shortly before her 10th birthday and before the widespread availability of the suppression drugs Prometheus developed from Matt's template. xxxxxThe years since have been tumultuous and marked by yet more losses, the painful unexpected addition of another Sera from a parallel universe, and the return of the allegedly deceased Tessier matriarch. Back under Elie Tessier's influence, Matt brutally killed Lucien and usurped his place on the Inner Circle, a sequence of events smoothed over into bafflingly widespread acceptance among many of those also exposed to her charm and her mutation alike. Notably, however, it led to his quiet termination from both Xavier's School and the X-Men. Through an even more improbable sequence of events, Lucien and Matt recognized the insidious influence of the mother's power and ejected her once more from their lives.
