 Name: Matthew Desmond Nickname: Matt, Matty (unless you are his sister, please refrain) Age: 20 Birthday: January 6 Sign: Capricorn Gemstone: Ruby Blood Type: A+ Fav. Food: Pizza, Medum-rare steak, Rice, Sushi, Tea. While he can't really argue that he's a growing boy anymore, Matthew is pretty much an human garbage disposal. As long as it's not spicy, he'll eat it. Hated Food: Anything too spicy, which really sucks when you the rest of your family loves the hell out of it. He's not a fan of most peppers as well, even the mild ones. Coffee is also an exception to the human garbage disposal rule. School: Destiny City University - major in Computer Programming Hobbies: Computer Programming - Yep, this isn't only a future career - it's a hobby. Where most other young adults his age would be out with friends or at parties, Matthew is at his apartment, working on his latest project. Sometimes it's just for fun, sometimes he sells them to businesses for a bit of pocket money and to get his name out there. He's really skilled at this, and had been reading books about coding since he was 12. He sticks to C++ for programs, and php/mysql for web interfaces. Computers - Kinds of goes with the above - Matthew is quite knowledgeable about computers, their maintenance, and building them. They're his work tools, after all ! This is a hobby because he follows up with the latest hardware and is also known to tinker often with his machines. He also does some home computer repair for spare money when times allow. He owns a desktop PC for most of everything, and has a linux distro on an old laptop to have handy. Macs are only good as doorstops, and he isn't in the least bit shy at making that opinion known. Anime - Matthew is a closet anime freak. You won't find a single figure on his desk, or a single wallscroll on his wall - but look on his external hard drive and you will find gig upon gig of downloaded subbed anime, most of which he actually watched. It's just so handy ! Do some work, watch an episode or two, then go right back to work ! Matthew only listen to subbed anime, in spite of not knowing a lick of japanese. He's a bit of a purist - original version when it's available to him. His favorite genres are shounen and mecha, and his favorite series is Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood. through he's started to enjoy darker shows more - Puella Magi Madoka Magica is really fun. And kinda ironic, through he will not state why. This used to be something he hid from others, fearing ridicule since he thought anime was for kids, but now he doesn't care anymore. He doesn't bring the subject forward, but he makes no effort to hide it. Tea - Perhaps it sounds a little surprising ? But Matthew is a huge fan of tea in nearly all of it's forms, and pretty knowledgeable at it. This is a passion that was introduced to him from his maternal grandmother, who is actually asian. You need caffeine for those long coding sessions, you know. Soda is too sweet, coffee is gross, and do you even know what they put in those energy drinks ?! Matthew's favorite tea is chai, and green tea. Hold the sugar. Hmm. <3

Senshi: Alunite. As he was corrupted straight into the negaverse, his actual star name is unknown. Challenge: Do you fear what hides in the dark ? Attacks: Sailor Scout Attack: Umbra Eclipse ! Alunite calls out his attack, then spreads his arms outward. For 5 seconds, nothing happens. But then, just like the moon hiding the sun, Alunite then proceeds to make either himself or an ally invisible to anyone radiating positive energy. This does not make them invisible to other corrupted beings, or to civilians. This also doesn't mask the target's power signature - only makes it hard to pinpoint exactly. The attack also doesn't cancel out any noise they make. This effects lasts for 10 seconds before it fades. The attack can be canceled if Alunite is interrupted or distracted while channeling. Super Sailor Scout Attack: Umbra Eclipse, Dark Moon ! Alunite calls out his attack, then spreads his arms outward. For 2 seconds, nothing happens. But then, just like the moon hiding the sun, Alunite then proceeds to make up to three corrupted beings - spread in between himself and his allies - invisible to anyone radiating positive energy. This does not make them invisible to other corrupted beings, or to civilians. This also doesn't mask the target's power signature - only makes it hard to pinpoint exactly. The attack also doesn't cancel out any noise they make. This effects lasts for 20 seconds before it fades. The attack can be canceled if Alunite is interrupted or distracted while channeling. Eternal Sailor Attack: Total Eclipse ! As before, Alunite calls out his attack, but this time moves his fingers to frame the hole on his forehead - his gaze focusing on one opponent. A small beam on energy shoots out of his forehead, very quick and hard to dodge. If the beam hits its target, it is then plunged into total darkness, as if suddenly dropped into the dark side of the moon. While they might feel like they were dropped somewhere strange and foreign, it is in reality only an illusion. The target is unable to see anything, and thus somewhat defenseless - also, while in the shadow of the eclipse, any positive energy attempt on the person (healing, another senshi attack) will fail. The attack lasts 20 seconds before it fades, and Alunite can only use it once a day unless he has consumed a starseed or energy.

Virtues: Reliable -- Matthew does not give his word easily - when he does, he means every letter of what he says. He might not be able to help you with your nasty breakup, but he'll listen to you cry for hours if that's what you need. If he promised you to meet somewhere, it will take a major accident for him not to show up - and even then, he'll call you as soon as he realizes he cannot obliges to his word. Matthew is pretty much the guy that is right where you need him to be at the right moment. Accommodating -- In a world of give and take, he's the one that's most willing to give - within reason. This doesn't go as far as to become a flaw, most of the time, but Matthew comes ready to compromise and deal with circumstances and events the best he can. What's the difference with hanging with his sister or with his best friend, as long as they end up having fun ? This also gives him a great deal of adaptation to last-minute changes. Resourceful -- Matthew is used to working with limited tools and a lot of restrain, time-wise, so he knows how to make the most of everything he has - time, as well as tools, objects and situations. He has a very good ability to improvise and make do with what means he do possess, and while he lacks some of the charisma a good leader should have, he's a very good person to have by your side. Determined -- He's not one to give up on something once he decided on it - he knows what he wants, where he's going, and more-or-less how to get there. He very rarely start something he does not finish - and if it happen, it was completely unplanned. He's a hard worker, often seen up until the early hours of the morning, cup of tea nearby, hammering out the last bugs of a school assignment before turning it in. Flaws: Blunt -- If you ask him for his opinion, Matthew says what he thinks... sometimes not with the best wording ever known to mankind. He doesn't intend to wound, most of the time, but Matthew lacks the skill to turn the truth into an easy pill to swallow when it's not what the recipient intended. He says things exactly as he sees them, and will not understand if you become upset. You asked... right ? Why ask if you didn't want to know the truth ? Tunnel-Vision -- For all that he's a logical person and knows how to improvise... Well, he often loses sight of the greater picture, while focusing on the tiniest little detail, which... may in fact end up being useless in the end. He needs to separate things into sections, tiny bit by tiny bit, until he finally manages to form the whole - if you ask him to try to big, he will probably fall on his face. This is also part of the reason why he's a great adviser, but not a good leader - he gets lost in all the little details he need to deal with, and loose track of the greater purposes. He also learns best when given information in small, easily understandable chunks - attempt to have him learn and remember too many things at once and he will get lost. Holds Grudges -- Oh, he might forgive - but he'll never truly forget. Matthew keeps a tally of all the things you did to piss him off, and he is quite certain that you do the same. One betrayal and, while he might accept you back in his life, he'll just make sure that you're never in the position to do what you did again. He can be pretty vindictive about this, unless it's for the greater good. He takes things such as trust very seriously, and once it's broken, it's really hard... Most often downright impossible for someone to truly earn it back, unless you are someone very important to him. He can be reasoned with, and you can avoid this if it looks like what happened could genuinely an accident, or if you have a very good reason for what you did, but if he doesn't consider you a close friend... well, though luck. Reckless -- Matthew has very little notion of his own safety. He will take risks that he believes are calculated, but really are not. His determination is often a double-edged sword in that he will rarely back down even when it's clearly past the time that he should have, and will need to be dragged off a losing fight if his anger is sparked and his buttons pressed. He's the tiny poodle barking up at the great dane. It doesn't always end nicely. Through he rarely starts fights, he is more than willing to finish them.

Hector Desmond - Matthew's father. In his early 50s, works at taskmaster for a construction company. Hector is a proud man, who has done what he wished with his life - got the job he wanted, married his high school sweetheart, fathered two children - and is not afraid in the least to show it off to everyone who looks even remotely interested to see. While rather tall and impressively built, Hector is actually a big softie at heart, and likes nothing more than spoil his children rotten. He was always a looser father than most, being quite certain that his children had to make mistakes in order to learn from them, and as he comes closer to graduating and actually become a legal adult, Matthew is enjoying an ever wider berth than before - though Hector has made it quite clear that he will be there for his son no matter when, or what. Alicia Graver - Matthew's mother, in her early 40's - she's been a stay at home mom for most of her children's lives, but started working part-time at a boutique when Matthew turned 17, more as a distraction than out of actual need for money. Amusingly enough, she is the true authority figure in the family, thanks to Hector's easy-going nature, but she is slowly starting to ease up and also allows her son and daughter a wide berth as long as their grades aren't falling and that they aren't getting into trouble. She's a worrier and a fusser, though, so it can be a little hard to let go. She swears she found her first gray hair when Matthew turned 20. Elizabeth Graver - Matthew's maternal aunt. She is the host of a talk show called The Gray Area. Betty was always closer to Ashley than she had been for him, which Matthew seem convinced is just a woman thing, so he doesn't mind too much. He does watch her talk show religiously, through, and emails her when he has the spare time to see how she's doing. Ashley Desmond -- Matthew's little sister, younger by 4 years, and lovingly dubbed 'midget' thanks for her lack of height. She's a very social and very active young woman, playing multiple sports and always up for something, which sometimes give her older brother issues with keeping up with the spazzic little ball of energy that she is. The Desmond siblings are rather close, in spite of being very different, and Matthew is only slowly starting to let go of his overprotective older brother tendencies.

Knights Camelot : I will end you so ******** hard reality will turn inside out. You just ******** wait.Niflhel : Ehhhhhhh. Dark Mirror Ares : I am curious... But they do say curiosity killed the cat. Good for them to find their salvation, but I know where my loyalties lies.

Alunite is a sulfate mineral that was first observed in the 15th century in Monti della Tolfa, north of Rome, where it was mined for the manufacture of alum. First called aluminilite by J.C. Delamétherie in 1797, this name was contracted by François Beudant in 1824 to alunite. Distinct crystals of alunite are rarely found in cavities in the massive material. Alunite crystallizes in the hexagonal system with crystals forming trigonal pyramids that resemble rhombohedra with interfacial angles of 90° 50', so that they resemble cubes in appearance. Minute glistening crystals have also been found loose in cavities in altered rhyolite. Alunite varies in color from white to yellow gray. The hardness is 4 and the specific gravity is between 2.6 and 2.8. The mineral is a hydrated aluminium potassium sulfate, KAl3(SO4)2(OH)6. Sodium substitutes for potassium and when high in sodium it is called natroalunite. It is insoluble in water or weak acids, but soluble in sulfuric acid. Jarosite is an iron analogue in which Fe3+ replaces the aluminium. It occurs as a secondary mineral on iron sulfate ores. Alunite occurs as veins and replacement masses in trachyte, rhyolite, and similar potassium rich volcanic rocks. It is formed by the action of sulfuric acid bearing solutions on these rocks during the oxidation and leaching of metal sulfide deposits. Alunite also is found near volcanic fumaroles. The white, finely granular masses closely resemble finely granular limestone, dolomite, anhydrite, and magnesite in appearance. The more compact kinds from Hungary are so hard and tough that they have been used for millstones. Historically extensive deposits were mined in Tuscany and Hungary, and at Bulahdelah, Australia. Currently found at Tolfa, Italy. In the United States it is found in the San Juan district of Colorado; Goldfield, Nevada; the ghost town of Alunite, Utah near Marysvale; and Red Mountain near Patagonia, Arizona. The Arizona occurrence lies appropriately above a canyon named Alum Gulch. Alunite is mined as an ore of both potassium and aluminium at Marysvale.
