History: Mattie was born and raised in Strasbourg, France. His father disappeared from the picture when he was about four years old. He has a younger half sister, and his mother. He grew up poor but this didn’t dampen his spirits, always finding the bright side in any situation and taught him to appreciate what he had.
When he entered his late teens, he began to develop chronic headaches and dizziness. He was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He went into a depression for all off two weeks before telling himself that he was going to enjoy life, no matter what! But he could not afford his medical care in France and moved to England to enroll in their medical assistance program for cancer patients.
He managed to get a job working as a delivery boy in England, which helped him to afford his medical needs, get a small apartment, and have two pet cats, Genie & Princess. But one fateful winter day while he was walking through a park he stumbled across a stone, literally. As he laid there in the grass looking up at the beautiful sky, a man came to lean over him, a brow raised.
The man, Blue, introduced himself as a Djinn and that Mattie had found his lamp. Mattie laughed, convinced that Blue was either daft or that he was dreaming. Mattie had tried to insist that Blue should just go home because he simply didnt need any wishes, but he wasn't one to reject another. Blue came home with Mattie, and Mattie gladly welcomed him.
When Mattie was sure that Blue was serious, He mad his first wish. This his mother would have enough money to keep her house and take care of her bills. Months later, He mad another wish. He had found out that his sister hadn't been feeling well, and asked Blue that she not be sick..
Mattie greatly enjoyed Blue's company, and he loved reading stories to him, his personal favorites to read to the djinn were... Ironically, about genies. After a while, his friendship with Blue turned into something more. Mattie had come to care for Blue, with a feverish love.
But after nine years, the cancer took it's final toll on Mattie's body. Mattie's final wish as his head throbbed in agony, was that blue end his suffering. He wished for Blue to kill him before the tumor did. He died peacefully and happily in Blue's arms.
But....... Something happened. Mattie remembers dying, the calming lull as it took him from the world.. so... Why was he back? And why was he in a strange cell?
Additional medical information: Diagnosed with an inoperable malignant brain tumor . Health is slowly failing.
Role play Sample:
Matthieu was watching an evening TV program, happily curled up on Blue's lap, his fingers absently twirling in Blue's hair. He honestly didn't realize he did it half the time, but it was a habit he had come to enjoy. He was rather heavily medicated as his headaches had been steadily increasing lately.
As he turned his head to crane and look up at Blue with his adoring brown eyes, a sudden shot of hot pain hit him between the eyes and his vision blurred to a bright white for a moment. Mattie cringed and slowly sat himself up. He rubbed his forehead and smiled softly. Perhaps he had been so preoccupied with the television, he had forgotten to take a dose of his medication. He dotted a kiss to Blue's cheek as he stood, using the back of the couch for support and made his way to the bathroom, assuring Blue he was alright and that he'd be right back.
He leaned against the wall as he made his way to the bathroom to his medicine cabinet, then noticed the clock in the hallway. It had only been two hours. He wasn't due for his next dose for another six hours. So why was his head throbbing and his vision blurring? He found his way into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. His face seemed so pale, he almost didnt recognize himself.
Just then, another hot throb right between his eyes and he clutched his face. It was then he felt something hot and wet in his hands. He pulled his hands away slowly and all he saw was red. His hands were covered in blood. His eyes shot back to the mirror, his nose was bleeding. He grabbed a towel from bar beside the sink and held it to his nose, hoping it was just a simple nose bleed. He held the towel for a moment before pulling it away only to cry out. The towel was filled with blood like he had a horrible wound. The towel fell from his hands as he suddenly felt very weak, his legs failing him.
He scooted against the wall beside the bathtub and all he could do was cry out. Fear in his voice. “Bleu!! Oh, Mon Dieu, BLEU!!” Is this what dying felt like? He told himself 10 years ago that he was not going to run from his fate, that he accepted that he was dying, but the pain terrified him. He had barely noticed that blue had come in, had picked him up into his arms, had asked him frantically what had happened, and had carried him to lay in their bed. Mattie only saw blurs and red, heard a shrill ringing in his ears and felt the throbbing in his head.
The pain ebbed away for a few minutes for him to be able to see and hear clearly. Mattie looked up to see the concerned look in his eyes, calm and collected, but worried. Mattie reached up with his bloodied fingers to tightly clutch Blue's shoulder, even through the pain and the fear, Mattie was smiling softly. He drew in a deep breath, trying not to cry. It hurt so much, and he didnt want to die. But that was being selfish and Mattie had promised himself he would be brave. His smile turned a little wider as he petted Blue's cheek. Perhaps... He would be a little selfish.. “Bleu.. I... I have a wish to make.. Please”
He saw the hopeful look in Blue's eyes and it broke his heart. But couldnt wish for his cancer to be gone. That wasn't fair to the millions out there who were suffering as he was, why should his life be more valuable than theirs? Tears welled in his eyes as he forced himself to sit up, sending the hot pain through his head once more. He pressed his head to Blue's shoulder as he choked softly. “Please. Kill me... Before the tumor does.. I... It hurts, so much... I wish for you to end my suffering.. Kill me, Bleu”
He could feel Blue shudder against him. Mattie's heart sank more, but he had made his choice. He could feel Blue gently rock him in his powerful arms and Mattie smiled softly, shutting his eyes. Blue began to hum softly, petting Mattie's short hair and the pain began to fade. Everything faded to a soft hushed whisper and all there was to see and hear was his Blue, holding him tightly, rocking him and hum and Mattie finally slipped away. The last thing Mattie uttered with his final exhale was “My Bleu”
