I do not own this character. All credit for Matthew Patel goes to Bryan Lee O'Malley.

So tell me a little bit about yourself.

Physical Aspects: Patel looks like an Indian goth. While the Indian part is true, the goth part is debatable. Brown-skinned, brown-eyed, and black-haired, he usually walks around in a red and black striped polo shirt with a black jacket over it. His hair is fashioned in such a way that it falls over one eye, which might have led to the goth statement. He has managed to drastically lessen the amount of eyeliner he uses, but still hasn't managed to get off of it completely.

He is only about 5'7" and has a regular build, not bulky but not overly thin.

Picture of Patel

Persona:

• Façade: Matthew Patel is a man as mysterious as he is mystic. He always seems to be really busy looking for someone, and doesn't spend much time talking. He seems to have a flair for the dramatic, although not nearly as bad as a few years ago. Still, his fighting style and gestures seem a little overdone at times, and he is quite arrogant. He also has more than a few evil tendencies and is sometimes completely insufferable, although he doesn't really mean to be.
  
  He also has a fantastic singing voice, which go well with his sweet dance moves and fireballs.
  
  
• Inner Mind: Patel really isn't looking for anyone. He used to be, but once he found out that no one he knew was around, he found himself with absolutely nothing to do. He hates being aimless, though, so he always pretends as if he's busy.
  
  The fact is, however, that Patel has no reason to do anything. He's still mostly evil, but he's messed around with not being evil out of sheer boredom. The loss of everything he knew helped him to mature a little bit, now that there's no ex-girlfriend to mull over. After his one-and-a-half year period of melodramatic brooding over everything he had lost, he's out to find something worth doing.

Stand up and fight.

Weapon(s): Indra and Kali, two katar daggers that he picked up from somewhere. He never talks about where. He also refuses to explain their names, and there isn't a person around who can figure it out on their own (being that it requires knowledge of a belief system that doesn't exist in the known universe).

He's slightly awkward with them, and prefers to use his hand-to-hand skills. However, he's getting better.

What’s your story?

Matthew Patel never talks about where he's from or his life before the age of 25, and is incredibly evasive when asked. It is known, however, that he woke up in a Twilight Town gutter one day, incredibly confused, and began asking after people that no one had ever heard of. He then spent 2 months straight in a library, reading every nonfiction book available and trying to convince himself that he wasn't completely insane. His watch was odd, going 1 millisecond every 10 hours.

He looked vaguely like a resident of Agrabah, but seemed ignorant of the world when it was mentioned. After spending a very long time alternately whining, brooding, and drinking insane amounts of coffee, he tapped into the large, unused amounts of mysticism in the world and left in a very dramatic fashion through a strange portal. It was almost a sad day- he had been rather annoying to most of thre residents, but amusing in a crazy sort of way.

It all comes down to this: make your choice.

You are presented with three weapons: a sword, a staff, and a shield. The sword represents the power of the warrior; invincible courage comes with this weapon as well as horrible destruction. The staff represents the power of the mystic; inner strength comes with this weapon as well as wonder and ruin. The shield represents the power of the guardian; kindness to aid friends comes with this weapon as well as a shield that will repel all.

Which one will you choose?

Chosen Weapon: Matthew picks up the staff.

Magic Bracer
Symbolizing the determination of the Staff, this ability enables the mage using it to ignore up to Weak ability damage in order to continue the use of any of their abilities without hampered aim.

Range: N/A
Speed: N/A
Cooldown: 3 posts
Uses: 2
Strength: Weak

[Nothingness]

Excuse me? What? You said that I did something I shouldn't have done? What are you talking about!?

Anyway, onto business. I have no problems with any of this profile, except that if you could please be just a tad more specific on his ability? Do you mean that each Demon Hipster Chick sends out two fireballs, or is it a total of four between Matthew and the Chicks? Also, having that additional effect afterwards should be its own ability, otherwise it looks like you're fitting two in one.

Alright, it all looks good to me now. So, without further adieu,
