Matt Cyrus

Matt Cyrus is the protagonist of Matt's Mind. Created and voiced by Headhunter Productions, Matt is a former Vault dweller in the post-nuclear Washington DC that is forced to venture out into the wasteland to find his missing father.

Overview
Matt Cyrus is an eighteen year old (as of season 2) blonde bearded man who goes from a selfish self-centred jerk to a well written character that actually becomes depressed, conflicted, suicidal, vengeful, and even selfless at times. For the first several episodes he is pertained as a annoyed individual who complains about everything. Around episode 16 the first glimpse of emotion actually reveals he's been using the anger and complaining as a coping mechanism and has simply been bottling up his softer side. In episode 25 he has a revelation that changes his outlook on his whole situation. During the last five episodes of season one he goes through an emotional roller coaster from hopeful to vengeful to hopeful to depressed to suicidal to determined.

Matt's appearance is said to be that of a scruffy underhanded wastelander with his long blonde hair and beard which he often boasts about being a "godlike head of hair". He's noted for wearing T-51b winterised power armour without the helmet due to a "cracked visor".

Matt makes a habit of naming his guns. his signature weapon being a sawed-off shotgun he's named Goby. he also owns a Chinese Assault Rifle he's named M.O.R.C.H.E.E.S.E (Manually Operated Rapid-fire Chinese Handheld Enemy Eradicating Survival Element). The final named weapon he owns is a Gauss rifle he's named Thunder. There have been hints that season 3 will have Goby as well as another weapon Matt refers to as Charlet.

RSMM2 quote: "One of the hardest parts of designing Matt was his personality. He had to be tough, enduring, and able to take a beating while still soft enough to be vunerable to the emotional turning points later in the series. Essentially i wanted the character to evolve as the show went on. Basically go from the selfish persona that existed early on in the series to the selfless emotional savior by the end of season 1."
