Name: Michael Abyssus
Gender: Male
Role: First Knight of Cresta
Appearance:
Skills: Where to start? Combat obviously, and he is capable of using a wide variety of weapons, from swords to bows. Also excels in unarmed combat as well. Is a born strategist, and can formulate a battle strategy within seconds on the smallest picece of information. Is very commited and focused on everything he does and will never let personal feelings get in the way of the job at hand. Also possesses what can only be described as photographic memory, and can remember the smallest details of anything.
Personality: Is very cold and distant to everyone, only ever engaging in the minimum of social interaction. Is calm and efficient in everything he does, whether it be a great battle or a simple patrol. Is a lover of routine and structure, though not enough to be considered to be OCD or anything, just likes things to be done at the times which suit him. Is constantly training to become the best he can be, perhaps even beyond that. Doesn't enjoy taking lives as such, but sees it as unavoidable.
History: Was brought to the palace as a young child, after an attack on his hometown by the armies of Sloria. Was put under the care of one of the knights of that time, the one who had found him, and he grew up learning all he could about combat and strategy from his master/adoptive father. He didn't develop his cold attitude until much later, when his 'father' died. He vowed to never let anyone get close enough so that it would hurt when they left, as he had only ever been close to his 'father' before that. And so he shut his emotions off, so that they wouldn't be able to interfere with his job, namely: protecting the Princess. Even if he knows that his coldness upsets her (and pisses quite a few people off) he won't change it for anyone. If you don't like it, you can jump from the tower for all he would care.
Likes: His own routines, the rush he gets when he has just perfected a new technique, well...basically anything combat/training based. Has a soft spot for animals (he likes them more than people), though doesn't let anyone know that.
Dislikes: People who would attempt to disrupt that routine (or chaotic people in general), girls following him around (it makes him paranoid), deliberate cruelty in any circumsatnces, particularly to animals.
Crush: The Princess of Cresta, Natalia Everdeen
Insights on Love interest: I was assigned to protect her, and will do so with my life. It's my job to make sure she's okay, and I refuse to let my emotions get involved...though why do my patrols always seem to take me to the gardens when she's there?
