# Matthew Walker

> An akward boyishness marks his face while otherwise transitioning to adulthood. Deep and warm brown eyes and dark almost black hair cut short contrasts with his skin, a light tone that is hard to discern whether he's been out in the sun for a time or if it's his natural skin tone. Lean but athletic body, built more like a long-distance runner than a body builder.

## Description

In that awkward time of his life where he hasn't yet lost a bit of the boyishness to his face while otherwise transitioning to adulthood. Deep and warm brown eyes and dark almost black hair cut short contrasts with his skin, a light tone that is hard to discern whether he's been out in the sun for a time or if it's his natural skin tone. Lean but athletic body, built more like a long-distance runner than a body builder.

## History

Matthew "Matt" Walker

Growing up, Matt did not know his parents, taken in by the system as he was an infant with a Jane Doe taken to the hospital and passed away there. Growing up through the foster system in Colorado, he moved through a number of homes over the years, learning to keep his personal possessions small and pack light as well as taking up hobbies that allowed him to spend plenty of time out of the house; running, reading at the library, and puzzles.

Always a aloof and a bit of a loner through school, a feeling of otherness about himself keeping him from getting too close to others. Even as he played various sports through high school, he was part of the team sure, but still kind kept at an arms length for anything outside of the sport, never really one of the guys. Managing to secure an academic scholarship, he attended Aspen University where he was studying Criminal Justice for pre-law. Unfortunately for Matt, his studies were never to be as he experienced his first change while experimenting with drugs as he tried to make friends, leading to charges of vandalism for the destruction of a significant amount of furniture in the dorms, as well as injuries that couldn't be attributed to him and chalked up to accidental injuries for him and his 'friends' in the course of their vandalism.

A nearby pack of Uktena took him in, teaching him the ways of the Garou and Garou Nation as well as administering the Rite of Passage once he had demonstrated his knowledge; with no knowledge of where he came from or any purity of his breed to guide him, he even approached the pack for acceptance as one of the Uktena Tribe and was hesitantly accepted. Having no room in the pack, nor the inclination for doing more beyond ensuring he knew what he was and his place, they directed him towards the High Branch Caern to find a place of his own.
