Cosplay

Description

6'2", 19 years old. Reserved and withdrawn, he has a biting sense of humor and is very cautious of forming emotional attachments to people, having had a very hard time among his peers. Matt has a very strong personality, bordering on harsh, though there is some softness left in him, still. He detests being weak and will never admit to his insecurities. Most likely to say: "Your village called--their idiot is missing." Matt rhymes with Pat. Green is the color of Ireland...and I'm Irish. 6'2" can be considered tall...and I'm tall. Matt's 19...and I was 19 for a whole year! Matt wears sunglasses...and I wear glasses. Matt has short brown hair...and I have the same. Matt goes to anime cons...and so do I. Yeah, I know Svetlana must have been thinking of me when she created this character. The similarities are undeniable! Admit it, Svet! ;)

Construction Notes

Store-bought pants! ...and I can't believe I found the EXACT shirt! I saw it in the Pittsburgh airport in November 2005 when someone walked by...and then figured out what company sold it. $50 + shipping. It arrived, I tried it on, it's PERFECT! My friend Scott helped make the vest. My friend Jody made the coat.
