Description Yeah, surely you didn't expect Drey's character sheet to show up without Matthew's closely behind? It was, like, SO weird typing that he was born in 2030... Anyway, not as much to be said about Matthew as there was for Drey, but let's give it a shot! After all, when it comes to the natural elements Matthew has my favorite!

Background: Matthew Vandolin (born December 14th, 2030), similar to his father, was not born in his true form, nor his human form. Just like his father, the form Matthew was born in eventually became his favorite; and as it happens, this one would NOT be the favorite of his mother's (unlike Dreyfus, whose mother simply adores his fox form). Matthew was born a dolphin to Wendy Vandolin and her husband, Dr. Dreyfus Vandolin III. Yes, it is obvious that the childbirth hurt extremely much (a human woman giving birth to a baby dolphin? OUCH!). And as if things couldn't get any worse, Wendy died three years later. Matthew takes after his father a whole bunch, and is a therianthrope/human hybrid (though more human than his father, as Dreyfus was a therianthrope/human hybrid, making Matthew even less therianthrope). Due to having both a hybrid for a father and a human for a mother, Matthew's shape-shifting powers are much weaker (and therefore not a notable ability) than his father's. Matthew also lacks the extendable saberteeth that Dreyfus has, meaning that Matthew's shape-shifting is restricted to what he has normally. Matthew can turn into a human, a thylacine (aka Tasmanian Tiger), a white-tailed deer, a coyote, a bottlenosed dolphin, a kangaroo, and his true form (which, like Dreyfus, he never reveals). Despite having a sixth natural form, Matthew lacks the powerful Monster forms that Dreyfus has. This hinders Matthew's fighting ability.

Apart from that, though, Matthew is much more athletic than either of his parents, due to having such a versatile variety of forms. He is an excellent swimmer, able to out swim and out perform several champion adult swimmers while being just the age of 11. His swimming ability is enhanced by his genetic make-up (and control) of water (similar to how Dreyfus is ice, Matthew is literally a walking lake), his gills, and his webbed hands and feet. Matthew loves gymnastics, and whenever he's swimming you can be sure to see many dolphin-like tricks (even out of dolphin form). Matthew also loves jumping and boxing, and unlike Dreyfus is quite muscular (this derives from his kangaroo form). Matthew is able to jump quite high and far--20 meters forward with one hop. As one may guess, in battle his lack of a weapon or antlers (which shant ever grown to full-size until puberty) leaves him using his whip-like thylacine tail and superior kicking and punching.

Once upon a time, Matthew went on a winter adventure with Neshae (his father's best friend) and Jomeiah's two sons, Gale and Damien. Since then, Matthew has had a deep bond with Gale, and a deep hatred of Damien, who he throws darts at on a dartboard.

Matthew went on another adventure into a mysterious fantasy world with other friends, originally going to deliver a letter, but soon the journey was to save a kidnapped Matthew, and then to find their missing parents.

Personality: Matthew is more serious than his manic father, and less naΓ―ve than his ditsy mother. One may describe him as "down-to-earth." Matthew has twice proven himself to be an exceptional leader.

Behavior: Similar to Dreyfus, Matthew howls at the moon each night. Matthew is known to have a habit of hopping, and hops at least once each day. He lacks the uncontrollable bunny addiction that Dreyfus has, but instead has a seafood addiction. In the mornings, Matthew goes out to graze with his daddy.

Abilities:
- Able to turn into, control, and materialize water and bubbles
- Invincible to large falls and the like, due to splatting like a water drop on impact
- Amazing swimmer
- Able to breathe in the water
- Powerful kicker and puncher
- Can use tail like a whip
- Jaw is double-jointed, allowing him to eat things much larger than one would think possible
- Knowledge on how to use echo-location
- Able to easily transform into a human, a deer, a thylacine, a coyote, a dolphin, or a kangaroo.
- Powerful jumper
- Good leadership skills
- Can transform into a cloud
- Very agile, acrobatic, and fast

Weaknesses:
- Limited shape-shifting ability
- Weakens in dry atmosphere
- Has more difficulty handling things with his hands or feet, due to their webbing
- Cannot "parasite shape-shift," so to speak
- Life essence may be drained if buried in soil
- Body may disintegrate if buried in soil
- Somewhat forgetful of his abilities

Theme Song: Briny Beach
Favorite Things to Do: Swimming, soccer, swimming, beat his father at video games, swimming, jump-rope, and did I say swimming?

Hope I didn't forget anything...

I like the fact that your characters' abilities are balanced, haha. They have good traits, but no god-like powers. Great job on design and everything, yet again.

No, because I drew something that will make Matthew's innocence look like dirt. X3 Dreyfus when he was 12 and 7. ADORABLE! ADORABLE! And CUTECUTECUTE! X3 But I can't scan it until I have more ink.
