~BIO~
Name: Katsuo Matsuda
Age: 16
Talent: Ultimate Tennis Player Robotics Engineer
Bio: From an early age, Katsuo was naturally talented as a tennis player and his talent combined with a number of other less-pleasant factors influenced him into honing his skill to become the latest of Hope’s Peak’s tennis-related ultimates.
Despite his natural talent in the game, however, Katsuo’s interests lie in the world of robotics and mechanical creation. He’s quite skilled when it comes to creating machines, be it machines that can assist people in everyday life or the latest robot he’s built to fight in an underground robo-rink. Of which he frequents as often as he can in secret; his mother isn’t a fan of his desire to switch talents and prefers him to stick to tennis.
Katsuo hopes that he can hone and improve his preferred ultimate skill enough so that by the time he graduates, he has enough security and strength to stand up to his mother and tell him that this is what he wants to do with his life and no one’s going to stop him!
...But at the same time, that’s easier said than done. He’s a pretty soft-spoken dude who hates confrontation.
Additional Info: He’s a trans boy, who came out at an early age. This was part of the reason his mother pushed him so much to stick to tennis; she was ‘supportive’ of his transition at a surface level, but it was obvious that she was hoping to steer Katsuo away from any thoughts he was having about being a boy with a more ‘’’’feminine’’’ talent. It did not.
Although despite this and his disinterest in pursuing tennis as his ultimate talent, he still a lot of respect for the sport and for the other tennis-themed ultimate at the school; Ryoma Hoshi. Regardless of his past, Katsuo does think highly of Ryoma and really hopes the two can be friends.
Voice claim: Bex Taylor-Klaus (Pidge from V*ltron. Because of reasons...)
AUs:
Gravity Falls: In this setting, his information is relatively the same. Only major difference is that he happens to be from a DR-parody game Soos owns called Super Mega Hopeless Murder High School Of Hopelessness.
He’d be a fan of Dipper, Ford and probably McGucket if he ever met them, for a number of reasons. But hey, video games come to life all the time in Gravity Falls, so who knows what’ll happen?
