I'm Like a Bad Penny!
Less than twenty-four hours after the loss of Morag and Edwin I bring you the first of my new characters (though I'm still not sure who will follow or when it will be).

This is Matt O'Geary. He's in his early twenties and a complete and total Yankee. Though he was born in Korea he was adopted by an American family when he was three. He was raised as a Muggle in an extremely conservative and very religious setting a lot of which didn't take very well with Matt. Not the religion so much as the not very Christian nature of the teachings of the church.

Not that it really mattered much, he was effectively cut off by his father when they learned he was a wizard and though is mother defied her husband by getting assistance from her father to send Matt to school the relationships between Matt and his family are rather strained.

He's been working as a freelance reporter since graduating from Salem in 1998 and over the last few years he's started tracing his family as best as he could given the limitations in resources involved. He's finally traced everything back to the Sungs and Sung trading.

I just realized that I didn't edit the app quite as well as I should have. I'll have to go in and tweak a few things but thank you! :D He would be thrilled to have someone he's known for a while around, I won't lie. :D

Matt likes to eat so he'd be happy to talk about food with Yakov.
I agree that Matt and Dean would get along well. Matt's also a friendly sort so they might be able to strike up a conversation over the journals as well.
I should have Matt see about getting a baseball game going at some point once the weather gets nicer. Then he can ask Barney to play.
He and Mel can chat about being American whenever she wants. He doesn't mind talking.
Yeah, Matt might not agree with Romilda on that point but I do think he would like her.
We'll have to see what occurs with Alex. :D
Matt may ask Lee questions about the history of Quidditch and such since he's used to watching Quodpot (though he never played).
I think that Matt would understand and appreciate Glenys' version of faith. In fact, their conversations have the potential of being very interesting.
Matt's always interested in learning more about popular culture, it's something that he's still constantly learning about.
And I agree with the others as well. :D

	Barney has never played baseball but he would be happy to learn! Lee is ready for any and all questions. He's kind of a nerd when Quidditch comes around. Basically, I agree with everything :-) (Reply to this) (Parent)
