Name: Just call him Michael.

Physical Description
Age: 42 Sex: most decidedly male Race: Human, with some far-removed Elven heritage

Height: 6'8" Weight: 286 Hair Color: Sandy Blonde
Eye Color: Ice Blue Skin Color: Deep Tan

Clothing: White linen blouse under a sturdy forest green tunic. Forest green breeches. Dark brown, soft leather boots which reach his knees and leather bracers on his forearms. Michael wears a dark brown, soft leather jerkin over his tunic. A simple woodsman's cap of green wool, which has a pheasant's feather tucked in the band, covers his blonde head. He is quite protective of this hat. Michael also wears a sprig of wolfsbane under his clothing.

Occupation: Ranger/Scout Species Enemy: Lycanthropes, especially werewolves

Weapons: 1) Two-handed sword, which he uses with one hand. 2) Short sword, which he uses as a dagger. 3) Long bow, which he uses to shoot arrows. :p

Abilities/Powers: Michael has the typical abilities one might find in a talented Ranger and include those that decades of life in the deep woods will give a man. Michael would say he does have a super-power. His sharp wit, which is almost as sharp as his tongue.

Strengths: Practically all his life has been spent living in the forests of Christia. Michael's life in the wild has made him strong and fit. He is an excellent warrior, having fought off tigers and bears to keep his skin intact. He is completely at home in the wild woods.

Weaknesses: Michael is completely at home in the wild woods, but the exact opposite is true when he is in the city. To be in the city is like torture for the accomplished ranger and he usually seeks to numb his senses whenever he is forced to endure any time whatsoever in any overly populated area. For Michael, anything more than a few dozen people per square mile is overpopulated.

Allegiances: Now, with God, the Creator of all, Michael has allied himself to Adeline Bluwater, his fiance, the love of his life and woman of distinction.

Affiliations: Few

Personality: Definitely!

Attitude: Oh, yes!

View on Life: Live it.

Background: Michael's real name is Major Lord Sir Brutus Michael Angelo Athenuel, but anyone expecting him to answer when they call him had better NEVER use this name. Michael is the second son of Lord Sir Lawrence and Lady Victoria Athenuel, the Viscount and Viscountess of Akhonne. He shuns his noble heritage, disdaining the lifestyle most of those born into privilege lead. At an early age he and his older, twin brother, Marcus, were lost in the deep woods surrounding Akhonne. Marcus had been terrified, but Michael had felt as though he came alive that night.

After their experience in the woods Marcus shied away from the outdoors, preferring to pursue knightly and courtly ways. Michael, on the other hand, could not get enough of life out of doors. He would often run off without telling anyone and return days later with a sort of glow about him. Unlike Marcus, Michael did not want to be a knight. He pursued a life of service, protecting God's creations from those who would abuse the dominion given to man by the Creator.

Michael grew further and further apart from his family. Only his mother seemed to understand Michael's love of nature, and only she encouraged him. Though it hurt his father terribly, Michael one day renounced his birthright and disappeared into the forests of Christia. Every few months his family would get word of how he was doing, stories would be told of a huge man helping others in the wilderness and they'd know it was Michael.

By his own actions in battle, by his service to the crown as a scout for Peria's army, Michael has earned a knighthood, but he will not acknowledge it. Michael is content to live in the woods, protecting them from encroachment. As a part of this protection he sometimes serves as a scout for Peria's army, something he has done so well it has earned him the rank of major.

Update: Michael has met the love of his life, his soulmate, Adeline Bluwatre. Because of her love he is able to stop running from his responsibilities and face them head on. He has decided to take his place as his father's heir and will one day be the viscount, with Addie by his side.

Family:
Father - Lord Sir Lawrence Tiberius Michael Acheron Athenuel III, Viscount Akhonne
Mother - Lady Victoria Alana Claudette Marcella Athenuel, Viscountess Akhonne
Siblings- Sir Marcus (deceased), Ly. Lydia (36) married to a nobleman from Sal Kadedin and has 5 children, Ly. Giselle (34) married to nobleman from Eyrel and has three pre-teen children, Sir Nicholas (33) Colonel in Perian Royal Army, Ly. Francesca (32) married to an elf from Laurelda and has two children, Sir Tobias (31) Captain in Perian Royal Army, Ly. Bianca (29) Commander in Peria Royal Navy, Sir Jace (24) Paladin in Eyrel's Paladin Order

Michael's Special Items:

Magical Belt:
This belt has so much mana worked into it that anyone scrying for magic will be practically blinded by the glow. It would be as if they opened the front door of a dimly lit pub in broad daylight.

The belt was made by Archmage Lord Sir Lawrence Athenuel, from the Brotherhood of the Golden Oak, and his fellows in that esteemed guild. It grants protection and strength as well as having other special properties. One of these is that it has many concealed pockets which operate as mini bags of holding. Michael can carry an insane amount of money and many other useful, small items.

The sheath on the back is similar to these pockets in that it is a sheath of hiding. While it appears to house blades only 3 1/2 inches long it can actually hold blades up to 18 inches long. Michael keeps a short sword in it. His father gave him this wonderful belt on his 18th birthday.

Note: Except for his rather rugged appearance, Michael is the identical twin of his brother Marcus, who died twenty years ago.
