Personality

Matthew King-Odnowa (Casimir III the Rebuilder), is a shy and secretive person. Avoiding the big cities and spending most of his free time in the places of nature, like parks and forests. He was a born pacifist and is disgusted by the use of firearms, similairly to his father who was a staunch activist against the second ammendment. However, he does not shy away from using white weapons, especially when camping and hunting. He prefers to make friendly contact before any confrontation with other survivors, but it might take a long time before he can feel comfortable around anyone.

Appearance

Matthew is a young student, with medium-length dark brown hair, that he sometimes puts in a ponytail. He is thin, some say even underweight, and not very strong. He has smooth skin and a problem with facial hair, forcing him to have no beard to look decent enough. He is around 5'11 (177cm) tall, with an average body frame. His bushy eyebrows tower over his hazel eyes.

Notable Skills

Matthew was a boy scout at a younger age, he is experienced when it comes to the skills and crafts necessary for the survival in the forests. As a gifted student, he is quite capable of reading long and boring books in a short time, memorising them well enough. However, he is quite weak for his age and weight which also affects his immune system which is not the strongest. He dislikes driving and firearms.

Background

Matthew King-Odnowa (currently Casimir III the Rebuilder) is the son of a History Professor at Columbia University, James King and a Polish immigrant Julia Odnowa. James King was mostly known for giving lectures and classes regarding the medieval history of Eastern Europe, focusing on the Polish monarchy. Julia Odnowa moved to the USA from Poland as an exchange student in 1973, however, she never returned to her homeland because of the Soviet regime. Julia was the one who stayed home most of the time, and to whom Matthew had created the strongest bond in the family. Matthew was raised in the Montclair suburbs of New York City, where he spent the entirety of his childhood. He was a talkative and approachable kid during his school days, and he did not cause too much trouble for the teachers. This changed when Matthew moved to NYC as a freshman at NYU (New York University). Following in his father's footsteps he began to study the History of Eastern Europe, with a focus on the homeland of his mother. The blossoming and loud city of New York quickly affected his suburban character, turning him into a more timid person, still quite friendly. During one of the breaks, he travelled with a family on a short family trip to Braddock Island, where they were set to stay a maximum of a week, driving around the island and camping. Unfortunately for the King-Odnowa family, the outbreak happened during their stay at Braddock Island, deep in the woods while camping. At first, they lacked any information, as the connection was awful in the forests of the Island. After 2 days spent in the forest, they decided to return to Charlottetown, preparing for a trip back home. Before they entered the city, they were swarmed by a small horde of infected, quickly encircling the car. They tried to reach a desperate escape, with Matthew being the only successful one. He saw his parents ripped to shreds alive, while he ran back into the forest as fast as possible. Since that event, the death of his closest family and the first encounter with a infected horde, Matthew's sanity dwindled. It did not help that Matthew stayed in the forest couple of weeks, eating berries and fish that he managed to catch. This slowly and surely drove him insane, with the only human contact being a book about Eastern European Monarchies he took with him for the family trip. The memory of him and his family quickly vanished in the neverending silence of the forest. During that time, he was believed to be the next heir of the Piast dynasty, an heir to the Polish throne with a mission to rebuild the kingdom from scratch. At that moment he took his new name, Casimir III the Rebuilder. His return to the urban environment will undaubtly require a new gathered strenght, if he can even muster it.
