Matt

**Matheus Amadeus Mozart Housepets Jr.** is the former Pawn of Gobcord, current member of the Council of Gobernors as an inactive pupa, and a cat. Though he had been a member of Dad's House and Gobcord since their respective beginnings, he only became active in Gobcord following the Goup d'Etat when his Kris-instated ban was lifted. Generally, he is well-known in the server for his casual yet cynical attitude and his fragile, ultraperformative heterosexuality. His most prominent interest is hip-hop music and its peripheral genres, being a fan of Kanye West, Tyler, the Creator, and BROCKHAMPTON. He most often shares this interest with his friends: Nachos, founder of The Mafia, and Gavin. He used to be well-known for his lack of an online identity, having his Discord profile picture as only a blank expanse of beige until mid 2021.

## Community profile

In Gobcord, Matt was once vaguely not liked by most community members but utterly despised by then-owner Kris, who found every excuse to mute, kick, or ban him, until eventually banning him permanently while citing their personal disdain for him. Matt's persecution was a contributing factor of the period of tension within the community leading up to the March 8th Goup d'Etat. Not long after the Goup, Matt's ban was revoked for good.

During his early tenure as a part of Gobcord, Matt became known to be reserved, self-conscious, cynically humorous and sardonic. Most notably, unlike the vast majority of other members, Matt had no discernible online persona. Sometime in early 2021, attempts were made to assign Matt a persona, but were met with great pushback. Eventually, Matt and Pink corroborated on a persona inspired by the Housepets comic series. It is then when Matt became the small, white house cat with large glasses and bell collar that everyone knows today.

From early to mid-2021, Pink would heavily influence Matt's personality and interests, nearly pulling him into the furry community and frequently reading Housepets with him, as well as developing Matt's fondness for furry art. Matt's relationship with Pink contributed to his increasingly good standing with the server staff team. On 30 May 2021, Matt was assigned the role of "Emergency Congress Member" (after many requests to be a server moderator) that would serve in the place of a temporarily absent Congress member. This role would later be renamed to the server Pawn. From 30 July to 1 September 2021, Matt served in lieu of Congressman Bulrush. A month after the end of his temporary position, he was elected a member of Congress by the Matheus Ultimatus on 9 October 2021. Leading up to Matt's election to Congress, he had significantly matured and became a much-beloved member of the server.

Matt has served as a muse for the artistic community of Gobcord, as his persona is appealing and simple to draw. Matt's aloof character also comically contradicts the innocence and cuteness of his persona's design. Coupled with this, Matt has cemented his legacy in the server as a down-to-earth and nonchalant person who serves as a refreshment from the hot-blooded theatrics of Gobcord.

Ker would often refer to him as "the realest out there". This has not been substantiated.

## Personal life

Matt was born a single, sickly child in rural Amazonas to his father Matheus Amadeus Mozart Housepets Sr., a farmer, and mother Mattia Housepets, also a farmer. Today, he is in a secret polygamous marriage with eight men, and has one adopted child, João, best known by his friends as "Joãozinho."
