Michel is small in stature and is pudgy in a cute, prepubescent, immature way. Michel takes good care of his appearance, using light make-up. People tend to feel protective or possessive towards Michel. Michel tends to wear clothes that are commonly worn by butterfly females as part of his particular persona as a catamite.[/indent] [h3][color=ffff00]Belongings[/color][/h3][list] [*]Pheromones/Perfumes/Fragrances [*]Sedatives/Tranquilizers/Non-lethal poisons [*]Alchemical stimulants and depressants [*]A bottle of alchemical fire oil [*]Firedancer's sash [*]Self-defense shears [indent][hider=Shears image][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ce/bc/fa/cebcfa183de62787a9f50b02bda013be--tattoo-drawings-art-tattoos.jpg[/img][/hider][/indent] [*]Catamite Certificate [/list] [h3][color=ffff00]Skills and Abilities[/color][/h3][list] [*]Acting/Firedancing/Singing [*]Good memory [*]Charm/Persuasion [*][s]Sex![/s] [*]A decent throwing arm [*]Math/Literature/History [*]Alchemy [/list] [sup]"Did you think all butterflies were nobles?

He usually comes off as friendly and tends to flip between a happy, clumsy innocence and a submissive seductive playfulness. He deals with life as a pragmatist, seeking rational, achievable goals and doesn't try to reach beyond his station. He seems, for the most part, content with his lot in life. [h3][color=ffff00]History[/color][/h3] Michel was raised in an orphanage that fell under the patronage of one Dr. Thaddeus Tonnere, a noble, alchemist, and trafficker. Michel's life became one of regimentation: strict diet, strict study, strict training. After all, he was being raised to be a catamite, a special class of boy-entertainers/consorts that were all the rage among the social elite. As a caterpillar, there was nothing to be done about his physique and appearance, so he was given lessons in intellectual subjects, since nobles wanted their precocious boy-toys to have at least enough intelligence to impress others and to follow a conversation or be receptive if their masters engaged in deep emotional outpourings. He was also trained in alchemy; catamites who could concoct and serve up pleasure drugs to their masters were worth much more than those who could not. Besides, Dr. Tonnere was something of a spymaster, so some of their training tended towards using their arts to serve that purpose. Michel's diet not only accelerated his onset of metamorphosis, but also made it so that his adult form kept certain physically young traits. Once he emerged as an 'adult butterfly' the physical and sexual training began. Upon completion, Michel attended parties and balls, going from client to client, doing a little snooping and drugging when ordered. For the most part, he lived an opulent and pampered life.
