Matthias Demetri

"'Yeah, the world’s messed up. People do a lot of ugly things. But in the end, it comes down to having faith. Faith that we’ll always be striving for better.' -Matthias, to Aven Veyosi"

777th Waterseer of Rhane Matthias Demetri was born a difficult home scenario, but was called away to Arthon upon inheriting the Waterseer powers. He was intercepted along the way and ultimately joined the Revolutionary Movement.

Early Years
Alcoholic and abusive father, alcoholic prostitute mother. Both suffer addiction and don’t even feel bad about making Matthias do all the work.

Matthias joined a gang because they paid well and he turned a blind eye to their malignant intentions. He needed to support his parents and he enjoyed the sense of family for the first time.

Since his real family is wasting away from alcohol/abuse/prostitution. His parents wouldn’t let him leave to pursue more education because they wanted him to support the family. He’s basically the only one doing everything.

He was with the gang when his water energy manifested for the first time. They immediately reported him for the reward money and he was captured. They never really liked Matthias and only kept him around because with his ‘good boy’ image he could get them into places.

Once Matthias was captured, his parents were greedy and said he could raise them out of poverty. They said this was their chance to start over. The officials privately asked Matthias if he was bringing his family, but he said no because he was angry at them and wanted to get back at them.

His parents accepted his lie that they ‘weren’t allowed’ and just told him to ‘do us proud.’ They told him to send them money.

On the journey to Arthon, these thoughts stressed him out to no end and he felt terribly guilty about leaving his parents. He also felt sick about joining the royals because everyone knows it’s corrupted. So he was chasing ‘pleasure’ by running away. He is ridden by guilt.

Personality
Deep concern for quality, highly sensitive
