He is the person everyone wants to be, but the person no one can stand. He’s cocky, arrogant, self-centered, lazy, and a jerk, but he looks good doing it. The girls swarm his bad-boy looks paired with his bad-boy personality, and after a weekend, he leaves them with enough money for a cab. Frankly, he’s an asshole, but people love him for it. Underneath the exterior, he is really just a kid who’s looking to benefit himself. When push comes to shove, he’s ruthless, selfish, and cunning. He does whatever will benefit him and him alone. Biography: When Mikael was 4, his family moved from Finland to New York. He never quite adjusted to the change. Suddenly, he went from a happy-go-lucky toddler to a quiet child. He chose to be “invisible” at home and it translated into school. His kindergarten teacher sent home multiple notes about his acting out in class and the manor with which he treated the other children. It wasn’t long until Mikael was alienated from all of his peers. This seemed to cause a switch to flip in Mikael’s head. He went from the troubled, quiet child to the invisible child. The only time he was even noticed was when he did something incredibly mean. One day, a little girl was wearing pigtails with bright pink ribbons. When the teacher walked out of the room, Mikael grabbed a pair of scissors, clipped one of her pigtails, then stuffed his gum in the middle of the other pigtail. He was suspended for a week. If the administration thought this would slow him, they were wrong. When Mikael came back to school, if anything, he was worse. He refused to speak, and the outbursts increased in intensity and frequency. Before he finished second grade, his parents had to send him to a boarding school. This boarding school just so happened to be one of the most respected military boarding schools this side of the Atlantic. Here he was the underdog, the weakling, the runt. His skinny frame and long hair (on arrival) made him an easy target. The boarding school immediately took away everything that Mikael identified himself with. His hair was cut, his small frame was filled out with mandatory muscle, and his clothes were changed. He shut down. He didn’t speak to his parents, never to his peers, and only rarely to his instructors. To pass the time, due to the limited number of activities, Mikael studied battle plans and actually became a rather competent strategist. Without anyone expecting it, Mikael graduated at the top of his class. His top marks were in unarmed/short range combat, strategy, and willpower. The day he graduated was the last day of his past. He doesn’t speak of his past and absolutely does not look back to it. He started spending his time in social situations where he had no reason to be. He lived at clubs and parties, never talking to anyone unless he was being a jerk. He dressed in full black, military boots, big knife, long black hair. He looked and acted like a total jerk, although an alpha. He quickly tired of this life, which he viewed as pointless, and he decided it was time for a change of scenery. Everyone and their mother seemed to be moving to London due to the threat of the hatching, and although not much scared him, not even death, he thought there would be a chance to find a purpose in the place where he was safe with a large group of diverse people. The move to London was easy; there were no problems. Due to his severe lack of trust, the day when a large man with a copper-colored beard carrying an axe appeared in his living room, it took the creation of a real thunderstorm to convince Mikael the man in his living room was truly a god. Perun, the Slavic god of thunder and lightning chose Mikael as his champion. Mikael was quite surprised, and although he wouldn’t mind fighting the demonspawn, he decided he didn’t want to sign up for the Vigilantes. That’s why he hid his powers as a champion until the day he received the letter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's my CS. I didn't think it mattered what order these are posted in. I feel like a total idiot. I will put my post on the other side to be a dash. I feel like a total noob. Never used a posting system with tabs and such. I apologize. Edit - --- Just found out there will be a delete post option sometime (hopefully) tomorrow. I will then delete the mistaken IC post.
