Childhood
It sucked.

Elaborating a bit more, it sucked a lot. You see, way back when, Matsune had a nice life. Comfortable little mini-house squished on the sidewalk of some street in Uptown Sakoda. Only child, life was good, times were great. But then, disaster struck. Akio was born. Well, okay, it wasn't Akio's fault, per se, but with two young children to care for, more stress was placed on the Nisoka parents. Their marriage became strained, their father decided to his problems out on his wife, didn't really care if it was in front of Matsune or not, and basically, everything went downhill from there.

Being a total Mama's boy when he was a kid, Matsune followed his mother around like a duckling and followed her directions in everything he did. Thinking that she was the cause of their problems, however, one night, Mamatsune left, imagining that once she was gone, her husband would come to his senses. She left behind a cell phone number for Matsune to call if he ever needed her, and disappeared somewhere in the neon lights of the city.

It was a nice try.

With no one to take his frustrations out on, Matsune's father made him the scapegoat, replacing his mother in the position. And while Matsune tried calling the number, leaving messages and basically-illegible little-kid texts, he never received a reply. So, with no one to disprove his father's claims at his uselessness, Matsune started to believe him, and his self esteem plummetted.

When he was 12, after a particularly intense downturn of Matsune's father's business reputation and his stocks, they had a... For Akio's sake, let's say 'arguement'. Matsune got thrown into the edge of a small table next to the couch and managed to get a few blocks before someone actually called an ambulance saying they found some kid running down the street with blood running all over his face from his eye.

Though his right eye is still there (after the initial risk of infection had passed, the doctor thought it would be better if they didn't try to remove it), it's completely blind.

Until he found an outlet for it. Violence never really suited him, so he became reserved, quiet, dismissive, and cynical. This was also when he bought his first laptop and learned how to install a lock on his door.

Joining the Antagonists
I honestly do not even know how this happened, to be honest with you.

We had initially planned to have Matsune in first, then, due to HIS INABILITY TO WORK DUE TO ABUSE FUCK YOU DAD the fact that he is occasionally out-of-commission, Sakuto was supposed to take over for him and be awesome and badass and hacks and stuff. But apparently Sakuto was one of the first people Chika recruited? SO NOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S CANON ANYMORE

Shadow
It's a little girly bitch. No, really. No, seriously.

If there were a contest for whiniest little bitch of a shadow, Matsune's would probably win.

Persona
IDK seriously what's this thing's name I don't even remember.

Relationships
♥ = Enough respect so he doesn't hate your guts.

♠ = Neutral / Acquaintance / He doesn't want to tell you, Chika.

♦ = You're kind of a dumbass.

♣ = Looks up to you, you can do no wrong, you are so cool, teach me sensei. So basically, Sakuto.

Makoto (♥♥) : HIS BOIFRAN. As much as Matsune tries to push Makoto away, he never gives up on him, which honestly pisses Matsune off to no end. He would prefer if Makoto had just left him to himself in the first place and let him go, that way he could have just filed him away as someone whose existence was just as pointless as everybody else's. But he didn't. B[ While Matsune fights against almost every attempt Makoto makes to get him to to open up, he has actually trusted him with a lot more than he's ever trusted anyone with before. And deep, deep, deep down he knows that if he has a problem (not related to work, of course), then Makoto is the first one he'd go running to.

Cosette (♦/ ♥ ) : Whether it was through luck or genuine perceptiveness (it definitely wasn't the second one, since Matsune honestly doesn't believe Cosette capable of being anything but an annoying little brat ...♥), Cosette has found exactly which buttons irk Matsune the most. She has pushed him every way, has constantly harassed him and downplayed any usefulness he might have to the antagonists, and has even said that there's no reason Chika shouldn't just kill him one day. That being said, however, she is a teammate, and as such, his responsibility when she's in the field. So while the thought of sticking her in a garbage can sounds like a great idea in his mind, he prefers to actually keep the use of his sexual organs, and so he won't be doing it anytime soon.

Aoi (♥/♠) : AOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. Aoi is, to Matsune, the last tether to sanity that he has when he's in Headquarters. He knows full well that they could both qualify as 'disturbed', and, when the situation is right (or wrong), they both take it slightly too far. But when you spend most of your time in a building with people so unhinged that they could literally go on a homicidal rampage at any second, it's nice to have one person who has as much of a claim to sanity as you do. Matsune and Aoi have a dynamic which often surprises Matsune, considering the difficulty he usually has conversing with anyone at all. They challenge each other, many times rivals in a temporary sense rather than a permanent one. While they are not the BEST FRIENDS EVER, they are indeed close enough that Matsune would actually feel something if anything happened to her. Which it won't. Because he'll keep her on her toes so that none of the sub-par competition they have even gets close to hurting her.

Koru (♠/♥) : Oh. Koru. Oh... Koru... How do I begin to explain. To Matsune, Koru is a conundrum. He is definitely someone to watch out for, because Matsune can tell from his demeanor that there's something more underneath all the free love and continuous smiles. There are times when he wishes Koru were more readable - if he were, he would probably be a lot less interesting. To an extent, for Matsune, Koru has Sakuto Syndrome - he's a puzzle, and Matsune, after having had no trouble reading people in the past, finds himself both wary of and pulled into Koru. Also, he occasionally comes in when he thinks Matsune's been working for too long and. Makes him relax. Which Matsune opposes intensely. Keep doing it.

Keep your hands off my boyfriend, Koru. If you please.

Chika (♠) : Chika is the boss. That's all Matsune will say on this subject. He can tell you this much, though: he does not want to be on Chika's bad side. Partially thanks to his own paranoia, partially because Cosette's instilled a minor fear of just how frightening Chika can be. If Chika says something, Matsune will do it. No questions. Which is why, before he gets the order, Matsune will do his best to destroy any means Chika has of hurting him.

Kanon (♥) : Kanon has this strange ability to bring out a side of Matsune that is probably the reason he fit in so well with the Antagonists in the first place. Whereas Makoto drags him away from his temptations and helps him control himself, Kanon does just the opposite; without even trying, she brings out the side of Matsune that he often forgets that he had. She appeals to his subconscious more than he realizes, and everytime they have a conversation, undoes whatever efforts Makoto has made to draw him away from the crazy. He knows he needs to be wary of her, that she's likely to turn on him in an instant, but cannot bring himself to distrust her.

Yotsuba (♠): Kanon's little plaything. She's a little brat, but so long as she DOESN'T TOUCH ANYTHING, Matsune's all right with her existence. Just sit in your corner and eat a cookie, child.

Sakuto (♣) : Matsune's known about Sakuto for much longer than he's actually known him. When you're a virtual ghost, as amazing as you are, there are occasional traces left behind, signatures, rumours, the tiniest mark of your handiwork. And on a place like the internet, where information is available to anyone who is smart enough to know where to look and diligent enough to keep looking when they come up with nothing, there is always a way to find what you're looking for. Though Matsune didn't even have a name to put to what work he attributed to Sakuto (some of which was impossible, most of which Sakuto had done anyway), he still knew of him, and kept his work in the back of his mind.

The worst part of meeting your heroes is that they never live up to your expectations. Sakuto, however, is the exception -at least, to Matsune, he is. He is an engima, a legend of sorts in both the Underground of Sakoda and the Networks. Every time Matsune sees him, he is reminded of just whose shadow he is standing in. And while that would intimidate and aggravate him if Sakuto was a lesser man, he's all right with learning from someone who has so much to teach.

Also, he has a giant boycrush on Sakuto that goes beyond the throes of minor respect that makes his heart go doki-doki whenever he sees those pretty sunglasses. Sakuto's the only one (monstrously powerful computers and blocks of zeroes and ones apparently do not count) who can make Matsune go into total geek-mode and use his really not-heterosexual-at-all fangirly scream face.

Noboru (♠/♥) : Noboru needs to hook up with Kanon. No, but seriously, sensei is his go-to guy when the others are being ridiculous and want to just spread normal chaos instead of actually doing their jobs. When there's conferences, oftentimes Matsune and Noboru share in a simultaneous eyeroll and get everyone else back on track. While Noboru obviously doesn't understand the intricacies of hacking into the power plants supplying Sakoda, and Matsune can't comprehend his special brand of situationally-appropriate mindfuck, they have enough respect for each other to know that they can get the job done.

Akio ( ♥♥ ♦♦♦) : Little brother. B[ To begin with, Akio is the biggest sheep that Matsune has ever seen. He follows their father's opinions explicitly, without thinking for himself and finding out that, maybe, there's more to the story than what Daddy says. He is an arrogant, immature brat who Matsune would like to throw off a cliff into a vat of intelligence. That way, he'd either die, or get some brain cells working in that shrivelled-up peanut he calls a mind.

But, to be frank, that's only how he feels about him on the outside. He really does love his little brother, would throw himself in front of a bus (and has, as his father is basically the personification of a bus) to protect him; he's really the only reason Matsune doesn't just turn his back to that terrible house and disappear without a trace. He doesn't adore his brother, nor does he respect him, for the aforementioned reasons, but he does love him. He wants him to wake up, smell the roses, and figure out that the world isn't as two-dimensional as he thinks.

Other Information
Likes: Ramen. Makoto. Sakuto. Akio. Taking things apart. Finding people who think they've created the most impenetrable firewall ever!!!!! and proving them wrong. Galaga.

Dislikes: His dad. Oblivious people. Hard drive crashes. Game shows. Humanity in general. Waiting lines.

Is apparently the only antagonist with a stable, acknowledged relationship. That totally gets messed up in every way possible over the course of the storyline. Thanks, canon!!!!
