Sight where there is none, learning to love: open to at least one female, PM/post

Sight where there is none, learning to love
A thread of learning, for all involved.

at 18-years of age, Matthew turner was attending his first semester of college in the midwestern United States. There was nothing remarkable about him physically, he had dark chocolate hair, and blue eyes, of medium height and weight. His only distinguishing characteristic was the fact he couldn't see. He had lost his vision due to cancer when he was in middleschool, and had been blind ever since. He was farely easy going, and would talk with anyone that talked to him. He was just a tad naive, the kind of guy that was smart, but had little experience with the world. Almost everything he knew he had read in a book. He took pride in the fact he had the highest grades in his hi school classes, the problem was, that accademics were the only thing at which he seemed to achieve success. He didn't have many friends, for he had attended a small high school, where anyone that was considered "Different" was shunned. He hopes things will change, now that he is at a university, where he hopes people will prove more open-minded.

ooc: Looking for at least one female player, or character, more are possible. Other males could become involved, pm to ask about another male role. Females can either post interest here, or PM me.

Well, welcome aboard

Yes, I do intend this to be a thread of romance. Of course, he will learn the part of love which is lust, but is that not an important part of love?

Post your character Idea here, as I said in my casting call, may be either an older lady, or merely one more "Worldly" than he

Emily was in firstyear of her college too having just come here with honours from her previous institute, she was just 18 and was exceptionally bautiful and intelligent girl, but due to the experience of her elder sister she stayed away from guys she knew lusted after her.
In her class there was a boy by name of Mathew Turner who had lost his eyes to what she knew was illness, but somehow she was attracted to him for god knows what reason and it was for first time in the Physics class she walked to his desk and asked in a sweet voice "Hi Mathew, i am emily! Will you mind if i could sit with you here?"

The bus rumbled to a stop, and the atendant got out followed by Matthew. He had his backpack with his books on his back, and held his white cane in his right hand. He took the elbow of the atendant, who lead him to the door of the Library. Once there he shifted his cane into his left hand and proceeded into the building after thanking the woman for her help.
He moved through the library, his cane making the distinct tap tap of his two point touch technique.

He made his way to a secluded study room he used often, for his hall was rather noisy, and he had a paper he needed to write.
Sitting on a couch in the room, he reached into his bag and pulled out his lap top, and switched it on. He plugged in the headphones, so everyone wouldn't hear his screenreader, and began to work. Some part of his mind wondered if anyone would come join him, or if one of the many helpful librarians or assistant student workers would come ask him if he needed help. He generally didn't, but it was nice to talk to people when they came by. Then, he had a long night ahead of him, distractions would be most welcome, even if they were distractions from his work.

As he sat there, his mind wandered back to physics class, and he remembered a girl, he thought her name was, well he forgot, but anyway asking to sit beside him. He had agreed, but hadn't been able to speak with her after that initial hello. Some part of him wondered if he would ever see her again. Not like he really cared, he just thought about how there were so many people that he had met, he had no idea if he would ever see any of them again. But that was the way at college. He didn't even think he would recognise her voice, even if he did see her again. He never forgot a voice once he knew the person, but it took him a while to remember the distinctive sound of each person he met's voice. Once he knew them, they would be hard pressed to hide their identity, but until then, he did a lot of "Who's this?"

I had sat to this boy in the physics class, who had unfortunately lost his eyesight.
He was handsome, and something about him, his aura was getting on to me, he was nice and simple as i had noticed for past some time, he was a nice person, and seemed to be friendly with anyone and everyone, and his manners and politeness, made me feel nice.
I was in the library and knew most guys there were there to impress me and a few other girls, but then i heard the voice of tap-tap, and knew it was him, he quitely made his way to the special room behind the library and i thought or a moment o join him and decided to join him, and since i am a prefect i was allowed to go in there, this room was usually for senior prefects and special students like him.
I entered the door and saw him sitting quitely in a corner with his laptop on and earphone plugged in, i quitely went near him and saw he was revising the physics lesson we had yesterday, i thought if i should disturb him or not, but then unfortunately i touched a book which fell on the floor with a 'Thud', and he looked up, and i said
\"Sorry Mathew, it is me Emily, remember we met in physics class yesterday, i just thought to check if you are ok all alone here?"
