Matthias (マティアス Matiasu) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.
Background[]
Matthias is the lead guitarist and signer of his personal rock band, the Sapphire Skulls. Growing up with his family, he was always interested in music and took a liking to rock and roll and heavy metal after seeing and watching his father play them when he was alone. Matthias would ask his father to bring home more CD's containing songs and participate in karaoke sessions with his friends. At these karaoke meetups, Matthias' father and his group of close friends would discover Matthias' singing voice.
Growing more interested in the bands of the time that he followed, Matthias wanted to try and write his own songs. Getting guidance from his father, taking lessons, and borrowing his father's old guitar, he slowly became accustomed to playing music and singing at the same time. Several years later, Matthias, now sixteen years of age, was offered a chance to play onstage at an amateur music festival. Taking the day off from work, Matthias' parents took him to perform the song he had been working on for years, only for the song to be interrupted when a gang of band members that were previously banned from perfuming in the concert hall entered the audience and picked a fight. Matthias, his father and his friends, and several other large and muscular men attending the concert, including other performers, jumped in to fight the gang. Despite his efforts, Matthias was inefficient in combat, allowing one of the gang members to draw a knife and slash across Matthias' chest and arms until Matthias' father could jump in and save him- noticing his old guitar was smashed up from Matthias using it as a blunt weapon.
Matthias was taken to the hospital and given stitches while the story made rounds on the news. His father was saddened and his mother was furious, worrying that another incident like it would put Matthias out permanently. Even with the wounds on his body, Matthias wanted to continue singing and playing the guitar, reminding his mother that he had people cheering him and dancing along with the song. Sometime later, Matthias was let out of the hospital and was taken to pick out a new, modern, professionally built electric guitar to continue practicing on. Once his wounds healed, Matthias began reshaping his image to be more fierce and tough, styling his hair, getting tattoos, and bulking up his muscles and fighting capabilities through fitness training and and boxing classes.
Now 18 years of age, Matthias continued to train, practice, and refine his new image. While picking out accessories for his guitar at a music store one day, he was approached by three young adult boys that had formed an underground rock band and saw what happened to him years ago. Commenting that Matthias' singing and skills at the guitar were "unreal", they offered Matthias a chance to join as their leader. Matthias accepted the offer but was anxious at the prospect of leading an entire band. Remembering his close bond with his father, he was certain he would get along perfectly with the band in due time, though it would take several months for Matthias to become in sync with the rest of the band.
With the band now under Matthias' wing, they all moved in under one household and decided to call the band the "Sapphire Skulls". They proceeded to turn the home into a rock and roll haven with a metal aesthetic and picked out new signature outfits filled with black leather, exposed upper bodies, exotic hair colors, chains, and metal bracelets.
Powers and Abilities[]
Matthias' guitar is capable of producing lethal sound waves and other forms of projectiles if forced into combat. The guitar itself is made of a very strong material, allowing it to be used as a melee weapon if desired.
