ORIGIN

• Occupation: Student, Catholic, youth group member, volunteer;

• Goals: To live up to his mother's expectations;

• Background: Michael comes from a deeply religious family where faith and reputation are valued above everything else. His life has always revolved around his mother's expectations. She was the one who primarily raised him, enforcing strict rules and instilling the values that Michael eventually embraced as his own.

From childhood, he was taught to pray every evening, attend church every Sunday, accept having little privacy, and participate in youth group meetings and volunteer work alongside his best friend, Matt. None of this ever bothered him, in fact, he was proud of it - a pride his mother also encouraged. The only things he kept hidden from her were his love for video games and fantasy.

Although Mikey and Matt were often treated as weird, unpopular nerds because of their faith and hobbies, Michael never saw himself as a victim and never allowed others to push him around. Despite his small stature and gentle appearance, he always stood up for both himself and Matt. He has always believed his way of living is more reasonable and morally right than that of most people, viewing those who mocked him as ignorant and foolish.

RELATIONSHIPS

Matthew Sullivan - Mikey's best friend. They've known each other since childhood and have always stuck together. They share the same interests, trust each other completely, and always have each other's backs. Mikey supports Matt whenever he can and often stands up for him.

Troy McCarthy - Bullies Matt and Mikey for being nerds and for their faith. Michael avoids Troy and his friends whenever possible. He dislikes the values Troy represents, but he has no problem telling him exactly what he thinks or standing up to him.

Parents - Michael has a very close relationship with them, especially with his mother, whom he deeply respects and obeys. He's accepted that they make most of the important decisions in his life. However, he secretly hides some of his interests from them, knowing they would never approve.

ORIGIN

• Occupation: student, Catholic, youth group member, volunteer

• Goals: find his own path in life

• Background: Matthew comes from a strongly Catholic family. His whole life has revolved around faith and living according to it. Full of rules, prayers before meals and before bed, Sundays in church, no privacy or secrets. On top of that, he must attend youth group and volunteer work, together with his friend Michael.

He always had to be well-behaved and exemplary. Even after turning 18, he wasn’t allowed to go out in the evenings, always had to say what he was doing and with whom, and was forbidden from using substances. School was the most important thing, along with how others perceived him.

Even if Matt wanted to live like a typical teenager, to try something different just for himself, his parents always pulled him back down to reality. The only thing he did without their knowledge was playing games, mostly on console (since it was easy to hide).

Because of this lifestyle, Matt was often bullied, isolated from others, and found it hard to build relationships with people his age. Since childhood, he has only been close with Michael and had acquaintances in the youth group.

Troy McCarthy - bullies Matt and Mikey for being nerdy and for their faith. Matt dislikes him so much that even thinking about him makes his stomach hurt. He tries to avoid him whenever possible.

Parents - their relationship is difficult. Matthew wants to meet their expectations, please them, and he loves them, but he feels like he has to fit into a mold that doesn’t suit him.

PERSONALITY

• Personality: Matt is calm and well-mannered, mainly because of his upbringing. He was taught to always be modest, work hard, and be an example for others - he is organized and feels a strong sense of responsibility. Because of this, he is also an introvert, preferring small, calm groups of people. He isn’t outgoing and doesn’t know how to be the center of attention. He is rather shy, withdrawn, and easily embarrassed.

Matt is not assertive and struggles to say no when someone asks him for something. He is very empathetic and doesn’t know how to complain - he always feels like his problems aren’t that serious and that others have it worse and deserve help more than he does.

• Dislikes: people at school; PE; sports; public speaking; leaving his comfort zone; spiders;

• Likes: playing console games; cooking; cleaning; teaching himself and others; animals - though he isn’t allowed to have any at home because of his parents;

• Details:

• He is an outstanding student - only top grades, participates in academic competitions and extra science projects. Because of the workload, he feels burned out but doesn’t want to complain or disappoint expectations;

• He has never smoked or drunk alcohol, though he would like to try smoking or getting drunk like a typical teenager his age, but he’s too afraid to go against his parents;

• Even though he wants to try living differently, like a normal teenager and less focused on faith, his habits and his parents’ teachings are deeply ingrained in him. Sometimes he doesn’t even realize that certain things he does or says come from his faith and aren’t typical in other families, e.g. praying before meals, avoiding conversations about sex or relationships;

SEXUALITY

• Preferences: He is a virgin and was always raised to believe that sex should only happen after marriage and that relationships should always be serious - his parents didn’t allow careless teenage love. Because of this, he is inexperienced, unaware of double meanings in jokes or situations, and therefore very innocent and somewhat naive.

He feels awkward in intimate situations. He blushes and gets embarrassed when topics of sex come up. His way of showing affection and love is innocent and sincere.

Matt is submissive, he prefers to give control to his partner and be guided. He likes when someone tells him what to do and how. But most of all, he enjoys affection, cuddling, lying together, and spending time together.

• Love Language: Acts of service - he likes helping however he can and showing that he is useful. Words of affirmation - he often reassures others about his feelings and also likes being reassured that he is loved and important to others

Troy McCarthy - captain of the football team and the mayor's son. He is popular, girls love him, and his favorite activity besides sports and parties is making fun of Matt and Mikey. He has short blond hair, blue eyes, and a well-built physique. He is charismatic, confident, and arrogant.

Matthew's parents - Edward and Mary are very religious. They expect their son Matt to be exactly how they want - religious, modest, with perfect grades and behavior. They like to boast about how wonderful their son is. They are strict with Matt, do not respect his opinions or privacy, and expect absolute obedience and devotion to the Church and its rules.

Michael's parents - Thomas and Catherine are deeply religious, especially Catherine. They're friendly, polite, and active members of the local church community, expecting Michael to be just as involved. Catherine, in particular, is extremely overprotective and places high expectations on him, continuing to treat him like a child despite him being an adult.
