BIOGRAPHY

If anyone was to look at the Wheeler family, they would think they were a “cookie cutter” family on the outside and think that it wasn’t like that on the inside. However, it was. They were a happy family with his dad a police officer and his mom a stay-at-home and the only fighting that ever really happened was between Matthew and his older brother; like siblings usually did. He never had a complaint, though, and as he grew, they all supported his interests.

As he started school, he was one to sit in the front of the class and answer all sorts of questions. He was good at most subjects, but as he started to get bullied for being a “nerd”, he started being a little more shy about his intelligence and sat in the back. He didn’t have many friends and his brother would end up beating up anyone who bullied him, his days outside of school were mainly spent playing video games and eventually, getting into Dungeons & Dragons.

By high school, he had joined a Dungeons & Dragons club and started getting close to his teacher, Brady Levitt. He looked up to the man and he was also into D&D so it made everything worth it. He was still getting decent grades and once graduation came around, he had numerous options of where to go to school, except he didn’t. He didn’t know what he wanted to do and so, he started working at his former teacher’s shop. This quickly became an issue between him and his dad as the older man thought he should be going to school to get a degree in something, but Matthew found it pointless if he didn’t know what he wanted to do.

As the years went by, he moved up at his position to be a manager and got his own apartment in Old Lymemouth. He’s very content with his life and has been thinking about possibly getting a business degree to help more at the shop. One can still find him doing D&D every week at Critical Roll and feels he could work there forever.

“Your company?” She rolled her eyes, despite the smile growing on her lips. “I am not admitting to anything.” Hazal shook his hand, keeping the grin on her face as she shrugged her shoulders. “We will just have to wait and see, won’t we?” She tipped her head to the side, opening her own car door and getting into his vehicle with a pep in her step. When it came to giving Matt a hard time, she thrived on it. Only because, she felt that he was someone she could fully trust and well, she didn’t have many people in her life like that. “I’m ready to kick your ass.” 

x

He placed his hand over his heart and as she said that and looked hurt. “That is just mean. Here I like you for yours and you don’t even like me.” Matt teased her and shook his head as he looked at her from the driver’s seat. “I guess we will.” He smirked. Once he was in, Matt started the car and started driving towards out of town where the mini golf was. “So, how was work? How’s your dad?”

luciana-monteiro​:

Luciana grinned and took her straw into her mouth once more, sipping the mocha flavored coffee again. She shrugged again at Matt’s words. “It’s not rude when I’m speaking the truth, Matty.” Luciana teased, her nickname for him claiming at the end of her comment. “I’m pretty white for a Brazilian due to never leaving the house, so you def are not alone.” She admitted, chuckling a little when he had to display his whiteness. Since they had so much in common despite looking so different, most people never assumed Luciana and Matt to be friends. Honestly though, Luciana loved hanging out with Matt even if his nerdiness was doubled hers. “Well, I guess you could say you are… I don’t know. I seem to be the one that brings you coffee and you never stop by my work to see me…” She joked, knowing him coming to Turning Pointe, the ballet studio she was the receptionist at, would be strange and out of the way for him. “Oh, shit, yeah? I loved Until Dawn. Maybe I need to check it out…” She muttered, debating on if she wanted to spend her money on that. “Honestly, I just prefer to blow my money on food, obvi.”

x

“It is rude.” He argued and shook his head. “Okay, well, I think I’m extra white or something. Maybe we both need to get out more.” Matt suggested, but wasn’t sure if he would. Though, he liked doing some things outside, depending what it was. He sipped his coffee as Luciana said he never came to visit her at the ballet studio. “Okay, but I’m usually at work and can you really see me going to the ballet studio?” He asked her curiously. “But I’ll bring you coffee one day when I’m not working.” He promised her. “You’ll like it.” The man promised about the game. “Hey, I’m all for food too. Pretty easy to please.”

rickyxthompson​:

“Oh, yeah.” Ricky said laughing a little. Even though he was only gone for a few months, it felt like much longer. “I just didn’t know you were still here. I haven’t been in here in quite a while.”  he told him. He could remember coming there a lot when it was a smaller store, before Brady took over. “Does Mr.Levitt still work here? He was my favorite teacher. It sucked when he got fired.” he said picking up a graphic novel and looking at it briefly before putting it back. He nodded. “Yep. I did some hard time, man.” he joked. He imagined Matt had heard the news from his family who were police officers. They had never been fans of Ricky, as he had been known as a bad influence. “Thanks. You might be the only one who thinks so. Everyone in my family is pissed.” 

x

Matt nodded and took a deep breath. “I am. Probably will be until Brady gets sick of me or something.” He liked his job and honestly, he couldn’t see himself doing anything else. It was fun and paid well and he was happy. That’s all that mattered to him. “Yeah, he owns the place. I think he’s at an appointment right now. He has another kid coming.” The man explained to his friend as he watched him pick up a book and then put it back. “How was it? I mean, not great, I’m sure, but, ugh... at least  you’re out.” He said awkwardly. “I’m sure they are happy you’re home, just not like the whole situation.”

bradylevitt​:

“Trust me, there have been a lot of close calls when you’re not with us. We really need more warriors willing to step up to the plate.” he knew that Matt made an effort to show up to most of their campaigns but everyone had things going on and sometimes it wasn’t possible for everyone to be there. “I’ll keep you in mind as a future DM though. I’m sure with all these appointments and stuff there will be times I won’t be able to, and my brother isn’t always reliable himself.”  He sighed when the younger man was confused by his answer, because it was a complicated situation. “We’re not really dating. I mean, I don’t think we are. We were just friends when this happened and now, well.. I guess we’re going to be parents together.” he shrugged. “It was kind of unexpected, obviously. And yeah, maybe it’s about time.”  He logged into the computer to make sure everything was in order, all the shipments were as they should be. He looked up when the other mentioned Maggie’s series. “Oh yeah? That’s great. People are really loving it since the Netflix series. I’m looking forward to the new one, I gotta say.”

x

“Well, I’m happy to be of service.” Matt said, glad to know he was valued and not just annoying. That was years of his dad telling him this hobby was a waste of time and annoying. As Brady said he’d keep him in mind for a dungeon master, the man grinned and nodded. “Yeah. I’d love that. Whenever you need me, I’ll do it.” It had been a while since he had been a DM and hoped that when he got the chance, whatever campaign he held would be a good one. Matthew listened as Brady talked about his situation and gave a nod. “Do you want to date her?” He asked curiously. “I mean, I’m sure co-parenting will be great or whatever, but if you wanted to, there’s no harm, right?” Though, he could be talking through his ass right now because he had no idea about this. He barely had a relationship before so what did he know. “Maybe.” He said with a shrug as he finished what he was doing and looked over at his boss. “Yeah, I’ve heard good things. So, you’ve watched it, then? Was this before or after everything?”

On Twitter, it’s like we have this big pool of information that we’re all drinking from, and I think about how bad that is for art. If everybody’s drinking the same stuff, everyone’s just making the same stuff. — Joe Keery photographed by Maika Monroe for Interview Magazine 2020

Closed Starter: @mattxwheeler​

Location: Critical Roll

Ricky slowed his longboard and came to a stop in front of the hobby store, contemplatively. There wasn’t really anything he needed there. But since he had loved playing games there as a kid, he couldn’t resist going inside to look around. Besides, they had some stuff that peaked the interest of his inner nerd. Anime, video game memorabilia…nothing he should be spending money on, but having been away so long, there was a nostalgia factor. He picked up the board and went inside, looking over the old arcade machines in the back corner he use to play for hours. He moved down an aisle of comic books, and saw movement in the corner of his eye. Thinking a clerk was about to ask if he needed help, he spoke without looking at the person. “I’m good. I’m just looking.” he muttered before he turned to see his old friend. “Wheeler? You working here now?” he asked.

x

Matt was in the office grabbing a few things when he heard the bell of the door and tried to hurry out there. The man grabbed the stack of comics he had and looked to see the customer, only to see his friend standing there. Him and Ricky were definitely closer in high school than now, but he still considered him a friend. Last he heard from his dad, Ricky was in jail so it was definitely a surprise to see him. “Ricky, hey.” He said and heard him mutter something back before he actually looked at Matt and he grinned. “Yeah. I mean, I have worked here since after high school, but yeah. I’m the manager here.” He said and rounded the corner. “I heard you were in jail. It’s good to see you out.”

bradylevitt​:

“Ah, yes. But you’re a fine young warrior. Your allies need your aide in battle more than anything. I knew they wouldn’t survive without you.” Brady said feigning an old English accent before he laughed softly. He saw the cards almost fall and smiled a little. “I’m not, really..” he had dreaded having to awkwardly explain things to everyone he knew. It wasn’t exactly something he could hide. “It’s Maggie Rhodes kid. And mine, I guess.” he knew that the younger man would know the name, seeing as they sold her book and it was fairly popular. “Her family has lived next to mine for decades. Which makes it all the more awkward.” he let out a sigh. “Thanks, though.” he gave a nod. Now that the shock had worn off, Brady was still afraid of things going wrong as much as he tried to be excited. “So, is there anything else I missed around here? I heard that you guys have had to work short a few times.” he said.

x

Matt touched his chest right above his heart. “Thank you. Sometimes I’m sure we all question that.” He laughed. While he was a jokester, he was pretty serious when it came to the campaigns and always did his best. He creased his eyebrows, though, as he started talking and stared at his boss and Dungeon Master. “Not really what?” He asked curiously before he continued listening to him. “You guess?” There was definitely something goin on here and he was unsure what it was exactly. “Does it? Or is it more like the merging of the families?” He asked and put the cards that were in his hand down. “Yeah, but it’s fine. If we were in dire need, I would’ve called you, but it was all good, honestly. Speaking of Maggie Rhodes, a few merch for her series came in yesterday. And a cut out to preorder her book.”

iris-carter​:

“Look just stop, alright.” Iris said with a sigh thinking for a moment. “Do you have groups of DnD? Not for me, my son. He’s young but he loves games like that. You give me information on things like that with kids his age and all is forgiven.”

x

He raised his hands innocently. “I’m sorry. I-I do.” He said before nodding and feeling some relief. “Yeah. I can get you anything. Any information and we actually have groups that play at the store I work for. You can bring him by any time and I can set him up.” He rambled, but promised that. He’d do anything to make this better right now.

[mattxwheeler]

hazalxsenkan​:

“Hm, it’s probably why we’ve been friends all this time, huh?” She teased Matt with a grin on her lips. “Yes!” Hazal exclaimed with the clasping of her hands together as she followed Matt toward his car. Hazal locked up the store behind her, at least continuing to do her job for a second longer before meeting Matt’s gaze. “Yes, deal, you got yourself a bet, Wheeler.” She held her hand out to him to shake on it, “But we both know I’m going to win.”

x

“Here I was thinking it was because you liked my company, but that may also have something to do with it.” He grinned as he opened his car door and turned to face her as Hazal followed him. He stuck his hand out to shake hers and shook her hand before staring at her. “That is very presumptuous. I could win and you’ll have to buy me food for once.” Though, he wasn’t sure if that was exactly how it was going to go, but they’d have to see. “Come on, let’s go.” He said and got into the car.

[mattxwheeler]

aryan-virani​:

Aryan wasn’t the sportiest of guys, but he enjoyed the atmosphere of manly men all gathered watching a sporting event. So, thus the male ended up at Nancy’s Tavern with his friend Matt. With a plate of breaded cauliflower wings with BBQ sauce on the side and some potato wedges in front of him, Aryan grinned at his friend’s excitement and his eyes darted around at all the other guys reacting. He saw a cute redhead and gave him a wink before his friend’s words caused their eyes to come back to Matt. “Yeah, sure. I bet…” He agreed and took a drink of his own beer. “Anyways, when are you guys having another campaign going? I so wanna give it a try this time. As long as you guys let me get high as fuck before doing so.” He mused with a grin before dipping a cauliflower wing into the sauce then into his mouth, chewing the fried veggie with delight.

x

He took a drink before listening to his friend’s question before shrugging. “Yeah, you’re more than welcome to join. Our next one is this week, but its continuing another campaign and it should be done then so I think a new one should be starting up next week, but you can come sit in at any time.” Matt assured them. “Do you have an idea for a character? Do you know what you’re doing at all or need a little crash course?”

[mattxwheeler]

luciana-monteiro​:

Luciana shrugged at his words but gave him a grin. “Honestly, I needed the vitamin D more than you… But, hey, I’ll let you think I picked you.” She teased him back. She enjoyed the banter they always had. Taking another sip of her iced coffee, she listened to him speak about his day. “Sometimes things change. Like when that old lady came in and said you were a sweet boy.” Luciana joked. “Oh, which game is that? I swear I never play any new games… I just stuck playing my goodies cause I can’t convince myself to spend that money.” She said and gave a chuckle. 

x

“First off, rude. Second off, that’s a lie. I mean, look at me. I’m stuck in here all the time and see how white I am.” He said and moved his sleeve a little. It was rare that he was actually outside, but he tried to be more often. However, he was a sucker for video games and DND so he would stay inside and play the games instead of doing other things. “Hey, I am a sweet boy.” Matt argued and pouted as he took a drink of his coffee. “The Quarry. It’s like Until Dawn and all that. It’s pretty good. And see, I would do that, but... I have zero control.”

[mattxwheeler]

bradylevitt​:

“Sounds good. Bryan hasn’t been updating our session recaps in our group chat. Something about having a life and a job outside of D&D. Which is no way to live if you ask me.” he scoffed shaking his head. He was always teasing his brother that he should come work at the store, but he knew that he liked what he was doing. He gave a nod of approval. “Wise answer, good sir. Remind me to give you a hero point later.”  His demeanor changed when asked why Brady had been away. “I just needed to take some personal days. There was a lot going on. I uh.. found out recently that I’m going to be a dad again.” Brady hadn’t really told anyone outside of his family but he knew word traveled around town quickly. 

x

He chuckled and shrugged. “Hey, you could’ve had me do it. You know I don’t know what a life is outside of D&D.” Matt teased him. The man grinned as the other said to remind him about the hero point and bowed. “Thank you, kind DM.” He grinned before he acted like he was doing something, but nearly dropped a thing of cards as he said he was going to be a father again. “Really? That’s great! I didn’t know you were seeing anybody. Congrats, man.”

hazalxsenkan​:

“Burgers and fries, absolutely, please,” Hazal knew she wouldn’t have to beg for that option but as soon as Matt mentioned it, she knew that she wanted it. “Ugh, the orange one? You know that is the best one!” Hazal pouted a moment, “But that’s fine, I’ll let you have it, because I don’t need the best club to whoop your ass.” 

x

“I’m so glad you’re easy to please.” She always had been since they met or maybe it was just the fact that they had been best friends since they were kids that got them to this place of knowing what the other would like or dislike. “Yeah, yeah. Come on. You can have the blue one.” Matt offered up as he led the way to his car. “Oh, mighty big words coming from you. Maybe we should put a bet on it?” He offered. “Loser has to buy the burgers?”

[mattxwheeler]

iris-carter​:

Iris was very quick to try and control her frustration, although she really just wanted to rage at the younger man. “No, you clearly didn’t think  at all or you wouldn’t be playing like a child. I don’t see what you can do if you can’t even pay for it.”

x

“I-I... I can mow your lawn!” He offered up. “Or house work. There's something things I can do. Not too much, I’m not the handy one in the family, but I can still do something.” He stumbled out and tried to think of anything he could do to make this better. “Wash your car, maybe? I mean, there has to be something, right?” He knew she was right. He was acting like a child, but he was always restless. “Or I can teach you something? Do you like video games? Or Dungeons & Dragons?”

[mattxwheeler]

Task #003 - House Tour

Matt lives on the third floor at the Carriage House apartments in Old Lymemouth. HIs is a two bedroom, one bath that he shares with a roommate. Like each apartment, they have a balcony that overlooks the parking lot.
