It’s nice seeing him around, especially when he looks the way he does right then. It’s too bad they’re in school, though. Jess wants, more than anything, to sit next to him, talk to him like they do when they’re alone in the dark of his room, press her lips to every favorite spot of his skin just so she can breathe in his scent, feel his warmth. She’s getting ahead of herself, she knows. So, she tries her hardest to shake off these thoughts that have been lingering for hours, since she got to school -- or since he texted her this morning asking if she still had his hoodie from last night. She told him she did, but he’d have to come back to her place tonight if he wanted it. She didn’t tell him that she was tempted to sleep in it if it meant being close to him throughout the night. 

That’s something Dorothy wouldn’t allow. She had a strict no boys rule that Jess managed to sneak around. Matt was good at it, too, getting into the house without any trouble because Dorothy was usually locked up in her room probably drugged up or drunk. That explains why Trish was hardly home and how she managed to do it. They had a deal of sorts. As long as Trish doesn’t tell about Matt then Jess won’t tell on Trish.

He’s really quite powerful. Out of all my magic-using muses, Matt is the one with both the most ability and potential for magic. He is a god after all, and in the height of his power, he was perhaps unsurpassed in ability, except by maybe another like him who was more studious. 

His magic is really emotionally relative. Even now, and in most cases prior to his current state, he preferred traditional methods of healing, of cooking, of growing, preferring to let things be than to forcibly alter them. Though, if he was compelled to, he could split the ground in half, cause earthquakes and create chasms and forests from nothing, could take away life with so much as a look. But he won’t, not now, at least. 

He isn’t the type to lose control of his magic, but takes care when he is very emotional to draw back, and refrain from magic altogether out of worry he’ll accidentally do harm.

He can do nearly anything with his magic, from memory or from a book, he’ll find it. The one thing he cannot do is bring back the dead. He can give life to inanimate objects, or create new ones, but he cannot reinstate it. He’s tried.

He loves. A lot. He knows it’s going to hurt him, falling in love with mortals, but he can’t help himself. 

Of all his past lovers, some stick out more than others, but he does keep record of all of them, and has provided the proper rites for each. He maintains their resting places when he can. 

Additionally, while he’s excellent in reading emotions and people, he has difficulty keeping relationships platonic if the option is available. He’s very clear with his communication - he wants his partners to know what they’re getting into before they make any commitment. 

He writes, and takes advantage of a concept quite like pocket dimensions but more similar to “my things are enchanted and in a space deep underground they will not be bothered”. He can summon such objects at will,a s well as put them back. All his journals, love letters received, particularly interesting weapons and costumes of his reside there, with tokens from favored beings as well. 

He loves children! 

He loves all people, really, and believes them redeemable. His views are changing as he learns about the atrocities he missed, but overall, he believes that humankind is good and well-intentioned overall. 

Animals are drawn to him! Oftentimes his living spaces are inhabited by creatures he has taken a liking to, which is all of them. He’s still careful to maintain sanitary conditions however. Just a bit messy. 

He is, very broadly, a god of forests, nature, and all living things. In his oldest sense, the elemental divisions of things, he was land. These roles of course have changed as time has progressed.Similar to the Green-man or general Wiccan concept of a Horned God, the masculine deity, but I see him more as one of the many beings that were drawn from to create such big concepts, if that makes sense. 

He’s still an OC, though. 

He changes appearance, all the time when he’s feeling well. most of the time he is entirely humanoid in appearance, and the only non-changing element of his appearance is his eyes, but he can change them with a bit more effort - they’re a dead giveaway to any disguise, emerald green with an unnatural depth to them. 

He does have a base form, which is brown skin, and dark curly hair. Super basic description, I know.

He doesn’t really like to wear clothes but can appreciate fashion.

On occasion he’ll have horns, a tail, claws, other pieces to him that are less than human. Sometimes he’ll take the shape of an animal or something not human. Just depends on what he’s feeling.
