physical appearance in depth:
Matt has short blonde hair. It doesn't cover up much of his head or face because it's always styled in one speacial way, you can't really do much with it. He's grown to care about his appearance so you will always see him in front of the mirror trying to get it just right. But don't ever touch his hair, he hates that and will go crazy trying to find a mirror to fix it back up again.

His face is every thing to him. Of course, he's grown throught his years, but has come to like his face, even with the added facial hair. He may attract some attention every now and then, but it's nothing. His skin isn't perfect of course, but he obsesses with keeping it close. The only time Matt gets a tan, is when he's been at the beach surfing, and that would have been by accident. Yeah, he's a bit shallow but it's mostly his mother's fault. She obsesses about Matt's look everytime she see's him. So if anything were to happen to Matt's face he would probably want to die. His looks aren't everything, but it's just easier when you have a 'one up'. But other than that he's normal: blonde haired blue eyed boy.

Matt has tanned skin, average skin tone. He about 6'0 and weighs 145lbs, he is well fit and has an athletic body tone, good stature. He works out almost everyday, which is another one of his obsessions. He has to stay in shape, not enough to be ripped or anything, just enough by his standards. He plays sports and makes sure to stay active in sports and in the gym to keep fit. Matt has some facial hair and is a good looking guy, dresses as most athletes do, tshirts, shorts, pants, jeans, hoodies ect. Some tattoos and no piercings, besides his ear, nothing out of the ordinary

and i'll get to know you,

personality:
Matt is a typical caring, considerate guy that would put others before himself. He grew up around no so loving family members, so you could say that, luckily, that didn't refected of him. He was taught kindness and pretty much all the other 'Good Guy' qualities, you could call him a 'sweet talker' also. Matt has a way with words that just works toward his advantage, but unlike other most guys he doesn't take advantage of it, or even acknowledge it for that matter. Matt is a laid back and casual type of guy, he gets arrogant sometimes, but not to the point of obnoxiousness.

Being romantic and spontaneous are other qualites. Matt has always been the good guy, he does things an doesn't really expect anything in return. He is a little random at times, but usually random is nothing to be too worried about. He would be the type of guy to give flowers to his girlfriend, just because or flirt harmlessly, it's just his way of being nice. Hanging out with girls and dating usually goes over well with Matt. He's thoughtful and creative almost all the time, the general good spirited guy. It would take a lot for Matt to get angry or upset, but thinking about his broken family get him a little depressed.

Having patience and his level of content are often other noticable things about Matt. He usually keeps things to himself, so he may come off as a bit shy. But most of the time, he's just mellow. There are plenty of times where Matt get's upset over something, but you will rarely see him with an angry expression, and anyone can notice when somethings wrong. It's typically hard for Matt to cover up his facial expressions, so he's not that great a liar either. Those who know him best can tell what's on his mind, and even though he wouldn't admit to it he sucks at hiding his feelings.

Matt wouldn't be the guy to bother you with his problems either. Mysterious and Creative. Yeah. Matt's the writer type, so whenever he has and idea in his head it has to come out through paper or through his singing. He's pretty much the guy to handle things on his own, you won't see him asking for help in the therapist's office. You could push him to open up to you, but it would take a while. He's the stubborn type, but he's a pushover and knows when to give up.

At times Matt can be pretty arrogant also, especially when he knows he right. That side only comes out every once in a while though. Matt knows that he's smarter then most people but does a good job at keeping that to himself. He won't brag in you face or try to put you down if he proves something right over something wrong. Matt acts as a problem solver, he can think things out before coming up with a solution. You could call him the shy type, but he's just less outspoken then others.

a little bit better,

history in depth:
Little Matt was born to Michael and Madison Maxen, he was their first son, and only child. When he was born, both of his parents were happy, and well past capable of taking care of their new born, already with three previous children. The young boy lived a normal life with his parents, both of them. Growing up being the only son, he was the center of attention, as any newborn would be, and it's been that way to this day. He's was use to getting spoiled by his parents, because he was their baby boy of the family. "The Baby".

Things for Matt were perfect, he had a great living environment to grow in, he was spoiled with luxury items and showered with attention from both his parents. His father was Headmaster of a neighbooring Academy and his mother was an fashions designer, and even though his parents lived busy lives they still made the time to take care of their children. He had it all, more than he could ask for, which at the time wasn't much as he was still young and hadn't realized how great his life was.

Then after a while, his parents started to argue. His father worked long hours and his mother felt as if she had too do all the work with the children, and then take care of her "ungrateful husband" on top of that. So the fighting continued until both had agreed on a divorce. Matt was 14 when his parents split, they had decided that he would live with his mother during the school year and visit with his father in the summer and holiday breaks. This is when things just started to fall apart.

Matt's father was going from bad to worse, with handling the break up with his wife. He still had feelings for her, even when it was clear that she didn't feel the same way. Matt's father was broken up and depressed about the whole thing, and as time went on that depression turned into anger and soon enough he grew careless about the fact that his wife didn't want to be with him. But regardless, Matt and his siblings still visited their father regularly until one day his father made it clear to his ex-wife that he didn't want to see her or his children anymore. He didn't want anything to do with either his mother or them, so sadly Matt and his siblings lost their father soon after his parents divorce. Depressed and upset at his mother, he blamed her for his father disowning him, but he never showed it. Keeping things to himself, grew on him over the years, Matt also blamed himself, for never making his father happy with his "possible future choice". Matt had always wanted to be a musician and his father, being an academic man, didn't approve. This upset his father, every time he would catch his son singing or even humming for that matter, he knew that Matt was become more determined about this.

His father basically dropped off the map. His mother, on the other hand, was more of the outgoing type, so she found herself a new husband and moved in with him. Matt hated this, so it wasn't bad enough that he was cut off from his faher's life, but now this new man was in his life along with that. His mother drowned herself with work, but they seemed to get along great, Matt knew that he wasn't going to be able to take the divorce as well as his mother did.

But Matt grew up and over time launched his career as a sucessful lead singer in a band. But his dreams ended when one of his friends/band members went to Iraq. His friend had died due to a roadside bomb and Matt and his band broke up. Matt has never sung 'professionally', again. Now he's moved to Seattle to catch up with his friend.

anything else:

Okay, so the 'Cut-Throat Jacen' wasn't the typical sub-personality that appeared often, but he had really been on the defensive. He had barely said a sentence to Noah, and already he was starting to regret the way he was acting. He doubted himself often and second guessed almost everything. It was like he couldn't make up his mind until he analyzed the options first. He also had no idea what his brother was thinking, and Jacen was the sort of guy to actually care about what people thought of him, or in general. He hated not knowing people's thoughts and that was one of his problems: not knowing how to deal with that. So to compensate for this, he usually put on his best game face and stayed behind his shield. He was sort of going through the same thing with Amberlynn, but without the guarded expressions.

Jacen's childhood was a little dark, but still he had a few last minute memories also. He had the good ones from before his mother died and his dad turned into a alcoholic, those he kinda wanted to forget. Yet it was the first times he and his brother had started to become close. He had the bad memories from after his mother's death, when it use to be just him and his brother. And those he wanted to just erase completly. Now, Jacen has made knew memories with his adopted family. Even though they were a little late for his destroyed childhood, he would never forget his first day living with the Briggs. He loved them and couldn't have been happier when they told him that they wanted to adopt them.

Being adopted didn't make him forget completly, but it was a start. He had already gotten along with his brother and sister long before Mr. and Mrs. Briggs made the decision to adopt him and make him part of the family for good. The plus side, was that the Briggs were pretty wealthy, but that wasn't why he was excited to be a part of the family. It was the first time he had been happy in a while. His father was a pretty laid back guy, mostly because he was so strict and uptight when it came to being on the Supreme Court. His mother was sort of uptight also and a little snobish, but she sort of had to be. She was a fashion designer, so showing off and impressing her rich friends were always a priority. That was one thing Jace couldn't conform to, was showing off with arrogance and acting all uptight. His siblings were use to it, but he was still a little new to it all. And yeah, he did call his parents Mom and Dad. At first he was reluctant to do so, but it just became natural later. He wasn't dismissing his mother in any way, and loved her just as much as if she were alive. He just figured it was okay and his mother would be happy.

What would have also made his mother happy probably to be able to see Jacen, and Noah, both grown up. But he and his brother weren't exactly on the best of terms, but for the most part that was because Jacen wanted answers. So when Noah bumped into him, he couldn't help but asked since the questions have been bottled up inside him for so long. He sat here for a while and watched his brother range of emotions, so far there were only a few but Jace was keeping count, for what ever reason. But when Noah said that he knew about Jacen's adoption, his eyebrows rose a little to the surprise. How could have heard it from any of Jacen's friends, or through the gossip around school. He watched his brother fiddle around before wiping his eyes, and that sort of made Jace raise his eyebrows again, in surprise. To reduce Noah Tucker to tears should have been almost impossible, from what he's heard. But okay, maybe Jacen was just exaggerating, maybe Noah had something in his eye or whatever. Yeah.

When Noah finished telling him that he use to drive up to the 'Briggs Family Mansion', Jacen exhaled. "So you could track me down but you couldn't talk to me?" he questioned, but Jace was one to talk. He sort of wished Noah wouldn't have done that. First of all it would have been better to just go over and talk to him, and secondly it was kind of stalkerish. How awkward would that have been to have your dad drag your brother out of the car because he thought he was some kind of prowler or something. On the outside Jacen wanted to tell him off about how he didn't really need him to watch over him. But now wasn't the time, they were barely introduced...again. "Why get a lawyer?" he added. Normally people would hire a private eye or something like that.

He listened to him describe one day to Jace that he barely remembered. He had had so many good times with the Briggs that a summer's day outside compared to nothing. But as he continued, Jacen opened up a little. "...Yeah, being adopted was the happiest I've been since...you know." he explained turning away. He heard his brother talking about how he only wanted happiness for him, and it wasn't that hard to understand now that he was older. He exhaled again, heavily, "...Look, don't worry about it..." he started with a shrug. "...I guess I understand now, why you did what you did" he spoke, this time with a sentence and not so defensive. Jacen was letting his guard down, a little.
