╚══════════════════════════╝
Micah Harmon was once a bubbly and sweet young boy. But once his world was brought to a reality, he changed from sweet and bubbly to an introverted and antisocial aspect of life. He prefers to be alone, often cooping himself up in his room once he's home. Doing what actually makes him feel alive, his music. He actively avoids his family, he just feels like he can no longer fake the happiness that they do. He doesn't know that child anymore. He never will. Due to being one of the youngest siblings in the Harmon household, Micah has developed an extreme patience. Not minding to wait for others, or take his time to do something. Because he doesn't want to rush the beauty of something, that could so easily become messy. Needless to say, the boy is an organized person. You might not be able to tell by the way he keeps his room, or his book bag for that matter. But he does have a method to the madness. He prefers an organized mess over a disorganized cleanliness. Not that he prefers dirtiness, he just needs to have a little chaos. That he can control.
Rarely speaking a word, the only sound you can ever audibly hear the other male make is when he sings. He views music as an easy escape that will put any of his anxieties and worries to a rest. He tends to distance himself from others, having a few friendships sporadically here and there. He just has a preference for being alone, but he doesn't want his entire life to be based on the premise of loneliness. He wants to share his music with someone, but he feels the oppurtunity will never arise.
When you get to know Micah, he truly is sweet. But he lets his own insecurities and temper cover that. He has a rather problematic tendency to overthink practically everything, thinking he's some sort of freak. I mean hell, his own parents didn't want him, why would anyone else. He believes he's just destined to be a boring YouTuber with a small fanbase forever, he wants to make it big. But this is where his temper comes in. Despite his patience and sweetness, Micah has a but of an explosive temper. Which is how he ended up in a Saturday detention anyway. But he just tends to blow up on people over the smallest thing. Maybe it's his inability to properly socialize, but he just has that small tendency that makes people view him as a troublemaker or a fire starter.

HISTORY
His birth parents didn't want him. Two young socialites, just now making their mark in the world, they didn't want the child they had created. Contacting an old family friend, they talked to them and the young couple Diana and James agreed to take the child in as their own. Alecsander and Michelle paid them gratuitously knowing that they already had three children of their own. But it never mattered to them, because they were going to help a young boy who needed it. From the get-go, they told Micah he was adopted. He didn't mind it, his young and naive mind made him think he was unique. Some kids weren't wanted and had to live with their family, like Harry Potter! So he didn't mind. He especially developed a closer bond with Diana over James.
He did everything with Diana. She helped him pursue guitar lessons, and put him in dance, she even taught him the basics of cooking. She was the first person he told he was gay, at twelve years old nonetheless. But she helped him be the brightest and most positive he had been, until the fire. When he had turned thirteen, Diana was lost in a housefire that had been started by his elder adoptive brother, Felix, on accident of course. From that, losing the one person he felt like wanted him. James never mad an attempt to be close to the boy, until after Diana's death. He moved them from Boston to Chicago, for a new start. From there Micah distanced himself from everyone. He became more introverted, staying in his room all the time. Avoiding society in general. He became the definition of a pariah, a loner. He also developed a short temper, not knowing how he could deal with bullies and the idiots who followed them.
Music had become a saving grace for him, wanting to keep atleast one piece of Diana alive, he inherited her guitar and began to play more music. Writing his own, starting a YouTube channel. Having a decent enough fanbase, to make it where he simply can ignore the realities of the world.
However, simply because he found a way to channel his frustrations, doesn't mean he changed. He believed he was better off alone, not allowing himself to bother anyone, or be a burden. Until one day at school, he had been cornered by one of the more notorious school bullies and he brought him his mother's death. How his real parents didn't want him, and one of them died in a fire just to get away from from Micah. His vision went red, and next then he knows his fist hurts and the bully's nose was broken. Which is how he ended up in Saturday detention anyway.
