Wasn't quite able to find a picture, sadly. If I find one, I'll update this.

Name: Mikael mab Roparzh (Michael Roberts)

Age: 19

Powers: Shapeshifting

Appearance: As a shapeshifter, Makael is capable of taking on most any form. However, he prefers the appearance by which most people know him: A short, small man, with a pale complexion and brownish hair. His clothes are rarely anything out of the ordinary. 

Bio: Born in Rural Brittany, Mikael's parents were always of the nationalistic sort. Rather than a normal name like 'Michel' or 'Jean', his parents had insisted on a "traditional" name, and were always the once to insist (loudly) that school papers and newsletters be written in Breton as well as French. Of course, Breton was his "Keryhez" and French his "Langue de Vie". 

A compassionate and idealistic person, Mikael was well-liked by his friends, and growing up in a poor, rural area, he was well-acquainted with what few neighbors he had. Though a bright student, he can be hopelessly absent-minded, and often gets lost in thought. Despite his humble upbringing, he had always dreamed of receiving an education at one of France's many universities. 

Mikael's powers began to manifest themselves in his later childhood. His talents aren't the sort that occur spontaneously, but, of course, every 8-year-old has thought, at one point, "I want to be a dragon!" [i]Mercifully,[/i] nobody was harmed in the ensuing confusion, but it was still a rather defining moment in his life. He had been brought up on the tales of the [i]polpegan,[/i] but it had always been just that: a fairy tale. Now, it was very real, and very scary.  
  
Despite now attending a university for the supernatural, Mikael still considers himself very much human, and his tenuous-at-best knowledge of English further exasperates his ability to fit in. Not, of course, that he doesn't try.
