Description

Personality

Michael is incredibly arrogant and self-centered. His personality is not unlike a spoiled child, and he uses his powers accordingly to get what he wants. He is loyal to Freya for the freedom she gave him, but otherwise only forms alliances with anybody to further his own goals. He will do whatever is necessary to further his goals. He enjoys killing, especially by devouring his prey, because he feels as though his victims have no greater cause than to give him power, sustenance and knowledge. Though Michael is irrevocably evil, he does not cause wanton destruction unless it furthers his own motives. He also tends to find games intriguing, and cannot resist a battle of wits with any who would dare challenge him.

Equipment

Michael doesn't normally carry anything on him, since his power does not complement anything more than his own body.

History

For as long as Michael could remember, he had grown up in a sterile laboratory deep underground. He was created in a tube like many of his siblings in Mortix's Genetic Testing Lab, though he was lucky enough to be kept alive due to his unique abilities. Michael grew to resent the scientists that poked and prodded him, his patience and scorn assuring him that they would one day meet their horrible fate. Michael was subject to one experiment after another, day in and day out. They took pieces of him, bathed him in any number of unnamed and untested chemicals. He was kept in tiny room without any windows, and was fed once a day. Day by day, the wrath swelled and festered, until the faithful day that he finally struck.

It was a day like any other when Michael took his revenge. The time had come for his once daily feeding. One of his caregivers slid his tray of food in, allowing his hand too far into the room. Michael immediately wrapped around the hand and quickly enveloped the man's body with his own form, dissolving and devouring the scientist whole and taking his form to escape confinement. It wasn't long before the alerts and sirens went off in the lab as the others discovered that Michael had gotten free. He made it to ground level, though he quickly discovered that the sun could harm him in a way that the scientists could not. His powers began to fail him, and in a couple of hours, he was caught. He was quickly contained and brought back to the lab, but not before the breach of security had reached the ear of Freya Mortix. She decide that there a great number of uses for Michael and his unique abilities, and offered him something that he couldn't resist: Freedom.

Freya's way with words was too enticing to reject, and Michael agreed that freedom in service to Freya was a much better deal than a life confined in a tube in the underground laboratory. He was taken from the lab and was given his own home and company resources. It wasn't long before he felt more than grateful for all she had given him. Over time, he began to realize that either through her powers, or just through all that she had given him, he had fallen in love with the woman. He secretly pined to be with her, and though he tried his best to keep it a secret, his desires were not easily hidden from Freya's abilities.

Michael is unsure whether or not Freya will ever return his undying love for her, but one thing is for certain: Michael would do anything for Freya Mortix.
