RedDescription: Micheal has chestnut brown hair and his eyes are a menacing red. He was turned during his second year in college and this left him in fit, young body for the rest of his life. He has the runners build; lean with a little muscle here and there. Micheal has a
flower tattoo on his back, and a
tribal turtle on his left shoulder. Micheal would blend in with the average group of jocks and pretty boys at the same time. He has a hard brown line, most of the time he wears his natural "bed" hair throughout the day. One of his best features before and after he was turned would be his eyes, before he was turned they where a beautiful hazel that would flicker in the light, now they are a striking red, a deep crimson that pulls in any who looks long enough.
Personality: Micheal is a fun-loving creature, he learned the hard way to make the best of any situation. Most of the time his behavior can be seen as immature, or not right for the moment but actually he takes most things very seriously but does not show it. Micheal has a way of getting under people’s skin with his smile, or the way his eyes shine, this is simply because he does not believe it is the end for him, and having an optimistic outlook on the situation makes everything better. Micheal can be seen smiling even when there is no reason to, but under it all there lies a dark truth for him, the truth that he is no longer human and that he probably never will be, never the less he still strives to make the best of his situation.
Background: Micheal Wirghtwater was born May 5th, 1936 in Sacramento, California. He was born a few years before WW2 started and while America was at the tail end of The Great Depression. He was raised by a single mother in a small two bed room apartment with 3 older brothers. As a child , Micheal was fascinated by war and the danger and adventure it brought. He had family who fought in WW1 and he would hear the grim side and also the stories of the different places they visited, what they did, how they survived. All throughout his childhood he said he wanted to become a solider and defend his country. So he learned everything he could, and became a "war hawk" as his brothers called it, listening to the radio like it was a preacher in church.
When he graduated high school at 18 he kept to his dream and enlisted with the military. He would participate in the Vietnam War and Micheal also died in this war as well. He was 24 when the US began to increase their presence in Southern Vietnam. When he was called into duty he went in with his eldest brother, his mother was in the hospital and his two other brothers where not heard from in a long time. Micheal and his brother Clark where killed in 1964 surprise attack while their unit was moving through the jungle. The where bombed on and shot down while they tried to flee to cover. Micheal was dying, he was severely wounded, and almost met his maker if it had not been for a Vampire who also enlisted and found him alive.
Lawrence Viscardi turned Micheal so that the boy would live, but he could not save his already dead brother. The day after his "death" Micheal woke up in a barracks with a tall figure in the corner of the room looking at all the commotion. Soon after the two would take back to the battle field and Lawrence would teach Micheal everything he would need to know about being a vampire. They went through numerous battles, feeding and getting hurt, heal and so on until the end of the war in 1975. Micheal did not know that Clark was dead and upon finding out that Lawrence kept this information from him, tensions grew between the two.
After the war Micheal changed his name to Viscardi,
would join the CIA with Lawrence. They would act together and form a brotherly bond, while they participated in the cold war. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Lawrence disappeared as well. He left in the middle of the night August 22nd, 1991. Micheal and Lawrence had been staying in Australia at the time and he would look all over form him for months until he returned to the States. By now his mother was dead and his only two remaining siblings where off living life with children of their own, he searched for his "brother" and found traces of him everywhere, he tried to get help from any and everyone but could not find any solid evidence that he was alive.
The Syndicate came to play in his life when he was searching for help to find the older Viscardi. He had heard about The Syndicate from Lawrence and reached out any way he could until they finally answered. They came down to an agreement, that in exchange for help with his search he would provide his skills and services to The Syndicate in any way shape or form.
