APPEARANCE

• Matteo has a tall, lean build with broad shoulders, giving off an aura of calm dominance without needing grand gestures. His skin is a warm olive tone, contrasting sharply with his jet-black, medium-length hair that is usually left messy. He rarely styles it intentionally; the look is a result of late nights and a general lack of concern for minor details. His eyes are dark and piercing, often appearing tired, as if his mind is constantly working even when his body is still. He has a sharp, defined jawline and an effortlessly attractive face. A thin, faint scar runs across his left cheek—unobtrusive, but enough to make people wonder. His hands are long with slender fingers, clearly those of a guitarist. He often wears a small stud in his ear and occasionally a simple silver ring. His scent is typically a mix of cigarettes, black coffee, and the leather jacket he frequently wears.
• Style:

• Dark brown or black leather jacket
• Plain dark t-shirts
• Black or dark grey trousers
• Leather boots or shoes
• Functional, masculine style that ignores trends.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW

• Matteo Morreti grew up with every luxury money could buy, yet almost no emotional intimacy. He isn't the product of a loud, chaotic household, but rather one that was far too silent. Everything was provided for, except a presence that truly cared. He is known for being quiet and distant. This isn't an attempt to look "mysterious," but rather a habit of self-filtering. Since childhood, his attempts to be open were rarely met with meaningful responses. Consequently, Matteo learned that restraint is safer than the hope of being understood. For him, silence is not an escape—it is a form of control. Music is the only space where he can be honest without needing to explain himself. As the lead guitarist and founder of his college band, Matteo expresses emotion through notes rather than words. He doesn't seek the spotlight, but naturally becomes the center of attention due to his consistency and composure.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

• Associates intimacy with the potential for disappointment. He doesn’t explicitly hate his family; he simply feels no bond. To him, relationships are fragile things that cannot be fully relied upon.

BACKGROUND

• Matteo was born into the Morreti family, a wealthy dynasty with cross-border business networks. His father, an international businessman, spent more time abroad than at home. His mother, a former French diplomat, was preoccupied with her reputation and social circles. His childhood home was vast, tidy, and silent. No major conflicts, but no small warmth. His first guitar was given as a formal gift, offered without many words. Unbeknownst to anyone, that guitar became the only consistent thing in his life. Music grew not as a hobby, but as a sanctuary. He formed the band in college not for fame, but for a sense of belonging that didn't demand emotional vulnerability.
