Matthew Sustrinoir

"And that's why, pop, you should never leave your newborn son at the orphanage. It's bad parenting, ya know?"

- Matthew Sustrinoir Matthew Sustrinoir is a character in the fanfiction story, "LNCE of Kresnik," published by Code-Emperor and Demons Anarchy of Pride. He is a child from the first Fractured Dimension Ludger and his team encounter, and also one of the future generation children, being the son of Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai.

Matt is the leader of an unnamed team, and is known to associate himself with the second generation team of RWBY and CALM. He is voiced by Micah Solusod.

Appearance
Matt is noted by many character affiliated with Cinder to bear a frightening resemblance to Mercury Black, being almost identical, save for his hair color. He is the shortest of the children from the Fractured Dimension, and has tanned skin. He is commonly seen wearing a black sleeveless shirt revealing his abdomen while wearing a long green trench coat with torn sleeves that ends at his knees, along with gray jeans pulled up above his calves, complete with brown leather boots. To complete the look, he has on fingerless black gloves with metal guards and three intersecting belts at his hip, and a pouch attached to his left leg, along with a necklace carrying the tooth of a Ursa Major.

Personality
Matt is a generally a laid-back, if not lazy, person who usually doesn't enjoy fighting, mostly because, in his words, "it takes too damn long." That said, when push comes to shove, he will engage in battle. He does like to hang out with RWBY and CALM, despite them being on separate teams, and enjoys their company. He has a habit of flirting with the female members, which Caius and Weiz find annoying. That being said, Matt greatly enjoys their company, recognizing them all as good friends and family, and arguably the only people that truly matter in his life. He does show a bit of his father's side in him, as during one of Port's lectures, he called out, "You know, teach, your an inspiration to every guy with a hero-complex that has ever gotten himself eaten by something small and fury."

Regarding his family, Matt does not think much of them, as when questioned by Ludger, he explains that he fully understands their decision, given how things were at the time, but did mention that he wanted to "beat the shit out of them" just to show that he was pissed about their decision. He also shown to be very keen and intelligent, as not only was he able to learn that Mercury and Emerald were his parents, he recognized that Mercury's legs were prosthetic, evident by how the flow of battle went between him and Pyrrha. When he gets a good feel for what his parents are like, he comments to Quartz that he really did take after them, though he does complain that they are boring people, and much to the shock of others, calls his mom pretty hot, later adding that his father must have been a lucky man, though he quickly wonders how they got together, given how they seem to be often at odds with one another.

History
Matthew Sustrinoir is the child of Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai, though for unknown reasons, was abandoned shortly after his birth, and left at an orphanage. During his early childhood, Matt survived just as his parents had done, and entered a life of petty crime, though his crimes were relatively minor, as he only stuck to pick-pocketing and thievery. One day, however, he tried to pick-pocket Professor Ozpin, only to be caught in the act before he even had a chance to touch the man's wallet. Matt fully expected to be arrested, but to his surprise, Ozpin offered him a place at Beacon Academy, despite Matt being only twelve at the time. Matt refused at first, but after Ozpin had forcibly taken him into his home, and as he began to learn about the role of Huntsmen, he agreed, but only when he turned fourteen, and when he was strong enough. For the next two years, Matt trained under Glynda and Port, quickly becoming a skilled Huntsman, and at the age of fourteen, attended Beacon Academy.

A year prior to Ludger's arrival in the Fractured Dimension, Matthew was involved in an accident while saving his teammate that heavily damaged his body. In order to save him, Ozpin paid for his treatment, which would later replace 70% of his body with synthetic machinery, making him very much like his father. This has also led to him becoming far more efficient, as the implants have increased his capabilities.

Obscuras Gigande
A rather large one-handed sword with a mechanical design, with the blade as long as his arm. However, when pulling the aesthetic trigger attached to the hilt, the blade increases in size, which is now as long as his body, and becomes as big as the hilt, which is 3.5 inches in width.

Semblance
Perception - An ability that allows Matt to perceive the world in a much different manner than other people. He can observe his surroundings, finding areas most people would never notice, or chinks in the proverbial armor. This has allowed him keen insight into his opponents, even allowing him to predict their next course of action. It also provides the added benefit of him being unable to be affected by illusions, making Emerald's own semblance useless. Perception is almost always active, but it's true worth reveals itself during battle, where Matt can "see" the flow of battle, and change it accordingly.

Prowess
Having been trained by both Glynda Goodwitch and Professor Port, Matt is a naturally versatile and adept fighter, having been trained in various aspects. In addition to his implants, his own talents have allowed him to fight for prolonged periods of time, and can take a beating when need be. This was showcased near the end of "Volume 1: Dawn of an Era," where Matt took on two Death Stalkers, lasting for a long time and able to repel their assaults before the timely arrival of LNCE. He is also shown to have a great deal of physical strength, as even prior to the accident, he was able to wield Obscuras with ease. His implants have only made it even easier to wield, even in it's broadsword form.

Similar to his father, Matt prefers to fight with his legs rather than with his sword, as he only relies on it against certain opponents. His fighting style almost perfectly mirrors Mercury's, though his implants, coupled with his great strength, only make him that much more deadly. He is also capable of delivering heavy strikes, powerful enough to damage Mercury's legs. When entering Overlimiter, he was able to destroy his father's prosthetic legs, and after delivering a flurry of kicks, sent him flying into a wall, and breaking several of his ribs.

Weaknesses
That does not mean he is not without weaknesses. Because over 70% of his body is replaced with synthetics, he is naturally weak to electricity. Several hundred thousand volts is not enough to kill him, but it is enough to cause him immense, if not crippling pain, and the implants go offline for a few short hours before rebooting. Not only that, if his Overlimiter goes beyond 50%, his body will undergo excruciating pain that "makes death pale in comparison."
