I know we see very little of Matt in canon, but did you miss the character profile that was put out for him in Volume 13 of "Death Note: How to Read"? I know it is in Japanese, but all of the translated information is cited on the internet. The easiest way to show you is wikipedia. Matt's profile is here. Since you mention of Matt as being "third in line for L" and of British origin, I can assume you are at least aware of the existence of "How to Read", but maybe you have not read it in the entirety? Even without reading it directly, the summary of How to Read clashes with your characterization.
According to How to Read, Matt enjoys video games and isn't outgoing.You're playing him extremely social and outgoing- he has roommates, he goes on dates, etc. During the series, much of what we see of Matt is a shut-in, outside only when it seems to be part of his plans with Mello. Maybe coming to Desai has liberated him from this kinda of life, but his behavior doesn't seem at all in line with what character traits of Matt we were shown.

Thank you for your questions, though I don’t feel I have to explain why I play him the way I do, I’ll do my best to help you understand. Though I also have to point out, we already have a Mello, but he isn’t very active so I see why you’d say you were interested

Oh, okay. Since you're bringing him in from age 16, then nevermind! fjhds Obviously all of Matt I know is the person actually within the series, age 19, but since you have chosen to forgo that, you can give him whatever personality you like. I just assumed you were taking him from the end of the canon since it's a completed series and all (and he dies! completed character) But since you're taking him prior to his appearance, you're just running with the back-story and an alternate future. fhjkds That answers a lot of questions already.
Thanks for answering my questions! Hope you get an active Mello eventually..
Sorry for the confusion! Yeah, I didn't want to be like everyone else, and I didn't want the angst of near death weighing him down. I just wanted to play Matt and I enjoy what little bit we know about him, but I wanted to try to take him from earlier to see him before he had all the trauma hit him.
No worries! I always welcome questions, and I would love for Mello to be active. The slight angst of Mello just leaving him at the Orphanage is still very strong in his heart, and I'm dying to play that out. I'm only sad ours isn't active, maybe if they drop if you still feel you want to play, you could come apply? I'd like that very much, so thank you again for your questions!
