[SOMEBODY] Michael Price

Appearance

Michael as tan skin, gold eyes, and a tattoo of a dragon running down his right arm. 

Personality

Upon first talking with Michael one is easily able to tell that the young man has an attitude problem, he’s rude and doesn't find the time to give into thing like social cues. Situations that require someone to talk politely to someone else are situations you don’t want Michael involved in; he’ll hurt your feelings and won’t give a second thought to it. Though this actually only applies for when Michael actual opens his mouth to talk, he normally doesn't bother interacting with others preferring to keep to himself. He’s built up a wall around his emotions and only allows a select few to actual peak behind the barrier he’s built for himself. The ones who actually manage to get Michael to let down his wall for them will find that he’s a caring and protective person to those close to him, easily willing to give up his life to ensure they don’t come to harm. When around these special people Michael is able to loosen up on his rather rude and serious attitude to become a person able to crack wise remarks and enjoy laughs, albeit the jokes that he makes aren't very good.

While not as bad as it had been in the earlier portions of his life Michael has a rather deep seated hate for those in a position of power, more so focused on those who rank themselves among military and law enforcement. He spent his life on a world where people in those kind of positions abuse their powers and treated others like trash, and any time he comes across someone who has a clear associate with such people he finds himself filling with anger. He must often times remind himself that not everyone is like the people on his world, and that he shouldn't be so quick to judge them but even so that can be hard for him to do. Still with the help of his mentor Michael has made a great deal of progress towards learning to at least give them a chance to prove themselves but that isn't always the case.

Despite the fact he comes off as brash and unintelligent Michael does actually have a good head on his shoulders, and he is rather smart for someone whose grown up living the life that he has. This is in part due to the fact he has an eidetic memory allowing him to recall events and images that he’s seen with great clarity, and while that alone doesn't result in him being smart it has certainly helped him catch up others. The young man also tends to be rather impatient in the sense that he has hard time sitting still and doing nothing with his time; if he could be doing something else then he would rather be doing something else. This can easily get on people’s nerves for the simple fact that if he’s supposed to be waiting for them, he’ll wander off to find something better to do instead of just standing still.

Creativity is something Michael has in abundance which actually works out rather well for him because both his primary power and his job can require a lot of both. As a mechanic Michael has a certain level of understanding of various types of machine and while his primary focus tends to be gummi ships he’s easily able to expand it towards other things as well. Not only is Michael a mechanic but he is also an inventor, and while many of his ideas haven't been made he's got plenty of them pile away inside of his head.

Despite how hard he tries to hide from the world Michael is an emotionally frail person, and the death of the woman he’s love hasn't helped this at all. While the past two years of his life have certainly helped him learn to deal with the loss of Sarah, it hasn't taken away the pain he feels in his heart. Sometimes certain smells or sounds can trigger memories about her and his heart will begin to twitch and ache as he knows he’ll never be able to see her again, and there can even be days where for no reason he finds himself remembering and won’t have the energy do anything at all. It’s easy to tell that moving on will be hard for him to do, if he can even do it at all but should a enough time pass or perhaps someone new enters into his life just maybe he’ll move on.

Having grown up poor and on the streets Michael has picked up quite a few tricks from that time that he still puts to use today, one of them being how to read a person. It’s easy for Michael to tell the kind of person he’s dealing with just by looking at them as often times that’s all you really need, the way a person stands, dresses, or even moves their hands can tell you a lot about them and Michael has picked up on how to read those signs. Another thing that has hasn't left Michael since his time on the streets is his will to survive. The young man will do just about anything to make sure he keeps himself alive to live another day. It’s for that reason that killing isn't something Michael has very little problem with doing, if you’re stopping him from seeing the next sunset and the only way to get you to move is to kill you then so be it he’ll do it. That isn't to say that he enjoys the actions because he really doesn't enjoy it at all, he likes to think of it as a last resort.

History

Michael was born on the world known as Castundana. Castundana in many ways is just like the world of Earth only it has managed to advance in the use of technology much faster than Earth. Allowing for the use of flying cards, and hoverboards, along with many other devices at a faster rate. Though we are not here to talk about the world of Castundana that is no longer around. We are here to talk about the boy known as Michael, and that we shall do.

Michael grew up in poverty never being able to truly enjoy his futuristic home world. Not only was Michael's family living in an old rundown building in the poorest part of town, they also fought all the time. Most of Michael's early childhood memories are filled with yelling and the sounds of his mother screaming as his father hit her. Those memories are also filled with his father abusing him as well, and they sting even to this day. One day Michael's mother had taken enough of the abuse to herself and to her son and she left Michael's dad. Who needless to say didn't take that news very well at all, and so he thought if he couldn't have her no one could.

Michael watched huddle in a corner fearing for his life, as his father attacked his mother like nothing he had seen before. However as Michael watched his father beat his mother to death a voice spoke in the back of Michael's mind. It told him not to be afraid; it told him to take action in order to protect his mother. Michael, listening to the voice careful moved towards a knife that rested on the living room table. He uneasily picked up the knife and ran at his dad's back yelling, which was a bad move on his part. His dad turned around and smacked him aside the knife flying away from him.

Michael will always remember what happened next. His father began to advance towards him yelling at him, that if he wanted to be a man then he'd get a beating like one. His dad raised his fist to strike Michael and then Michael watched the life fade from his father's eyes. His father fell down face first into the carpet floor of their living room a knife sticking out from his back. Michael in tears looked at his mother who was all beaten and bleeding who stood standing behind her husband with her hands shaking slowly.

You see after killing her husband Michael's mother died, she had lost so much blood and taken so much trauma to the head that her brain failed. So not only did he watch his father die in front of him Michael also watched his mother die. Michael stayed huddle in the corner of his living room for three hours just crying, and wishing his mother could come back to him. You must be wondering why Michael sat alone with two dead bodies and no form of police came to the scene of the crime. Well you see in Michael's home world the government and the police didn't care for the poor. They viewed the poor as an infection on the world and for that reason treats them as outcasts.

So after three hours of just being with the bodies of his dead mother and father Michael left his old rundown house to go, God knows where. Michael spent six years of his life struggling to eat, and even to find a place to sleep. Michael had even got the point where he was stealing from others just to keep himself alive, which mind you didn't do much but make his situation worse sometimes. Then one day while Michael was running from a bunch of hungry homeless people just like him he saw her.

That her being Sarah a girl who from that moment on would change his life forever, Michael quickly managed to lose the homeless chasing him for the food he had stolen, and quickly made his way back to the park where he had seen Sarah. Michael could tell just by looking at Sarah that she came from a rich family, simply by the way she was dressed. However it wasn't the fact he knew for a fact she came from money that made him talk to her. It was because up to that point it time he had never seen someone so beautiful.

So he talked to her and the two hit it off great, they talked for a whole two hours before her father called her to go home. Michael and Sarah would meet at that park everyday for the next three weeks. Then on the Saturday of the last week Sarah's father came with her to the park to talk to Michael. He told Michael how Sarah had told him everything they talked about. How his father was abusive, and how he struggled to survive for six years of his life. Sarah's father offered Michael a new home, with him and Sarah.

At first Michael turned them down, telling them he wasn't worth the trouble. Though Sarah's father wouldn't take no for an answer, and told him that he was worth it. So Michael took Sarah's dad up on the offer and went to live with them. He got new clothes, and feed every day he was even able to go school. His life had gone from nothing but emptiness and darkness, to beauty and light.

That was until a year after living with Sarah and her family that both Sarah's father and Michael got bad news. Sarah had gotten a sickness that slowly broke her body down killing her from the inside out. The doctor's on Michael's world had no cure for it, only ways to slow the dying down. They gave Sarah three maybe four years at best left to live if she was lucky. Michael could slowly feel his world going back to the darkness. Because he had thought of Sarah as more than friend, he had fallen in love with her and her with him. Now he was going to lose her, and that was the last thing he wanted.

Though little did he know that year into the future he was going to lose it all. The day the darkness came Michael had been at school waiting for class to end, when suddenly the whole building began to shake and Michael was tossed out of his seat he pulled himself up from the ground and looked out the window of his classroom to see the whole city in chaos. Yellow eyed monster had taken over the city and were killing people...stealing their hearts.

It was then at that moment a voice spoke to him again...it told him not to be afraid. It was the voice that spoken to him the day he had tried to kill his father. Michael listened to the voice and didn't let his fear take him over. Instead he headed out of his classroom to find Sarah. He wanted to keep her safe; he wanted to make the one bit of light left in his life shined a little longer.

He found Sarah on the roof of the school she was looking down at the destruction the yellow eyes monsters had caused. Slowly advancing towards from behind here were the same yellow eyed monsters seeking to steal her heart. Michael had no way to help Sarah, and could only watch her monsters, as the Heartless stole her heart away.

That's when something happen to Michael he found himself falling, falling down into what felt like an ocean. It was within this realm of awakening that Michael awoke to a new power. The Keyblade. It appeared within his grasps in a flash and he had no idea what to do with the blade other than swing it around aimlessly. Sadly he couldn't help keep the woman he loved alive, and her heart was stolen. The same fate would have befallen Michael if he had found himself being pulled into the very darkness that was consuming his world. When passed out and when he awoke he found himself in a new world, one by the name of Traverse Town.

Michael wandered around the world in pain after losing the person he had loved, and he probably would have stayed that way if he hadn't stumbled across a well known and gifted mechanic by the name of Isaac Lanester. Michael isn't sure what Isaac saw in him as he was busy mopping around the town, but the man took an interest in him and Michael became his apprentice. It wasn't an easy task for him learning what Isaac had to teach him when it came to ships and various other types of machines, but Michael was indeed able to learn.

He still has much learn if he's being honest, but the work with Isaac in the past two years of his life has helped get his mind off his problems and provide a way for him to deal with Sarah's death. He didn't spend these last four years just training under Isaac he's also learned to work on his fighting skills, so that what happened with Sarah doesn't happen again. Michael has also come to feel as though he needs to see what else is out there in the worlds, and because of this he's taken a Gummi Ship and departed from Traverse Town.
