Shinigami - Michael Angelo - [C-3]

Michael is a fairly short young gentleman standing at only four feet and five inches tall. He weighs about one-hundred pounds with a small but fairly muscular physique. His muscles have a lean appearance making him look weaker than he actually is. His hair is black in color with blood red highlights. It would be shoulder length if it were straightened but it is wavy and slightly combed back. His eyes are green colored and give him the appearance of wisdom that seems to surpass someone of his age. His skin is fairly tan but not to the point were a little more sun might hurt him.

He does not wear the standard shinigami outfit as he is still currently in the shinigami academy. Since he is still in school he wears the academy uniform. This uniform consists of many parts that though are similar to the standard uniform are different in color. His uniform consists of a blue shitagi (under shirt) along with a white kosode (shirt) over it that has singular blue stripes down the sleeves along with two circular symbols on each breast area. Also part of the uniform is a blue hakama (trousers) with white socks and a pair of sandals. He wears a shinigami academy issued katana on his left hip.

When he is not wearing his shinigami academy uniform he can be found in his opinion comfortable clothes. He wears a long sleeved black shirt. Over this he wears a black T-shirt with onyx squares on each sleeve, onyx trim on the edges of the shirt along with a big onyx colored cross which is upside down. He wears a pair of black jean pants. The odd ball part of his outfit is the tennis shoes he wears which are white with red, yellow, black, and white on the bottom. Accessories include a pair of black fingerless gloves, a onyx colored belt, and a knee pad on his left knee with a spike coming out of it which is red and onyx in color. He also wears a couple of earrings around the edge of his left ear, a collar, and a necklace of a red serpent.

Michael is a little bit of a loner preferring to be by himself, unless he is training which in his eyes it is better to train with someone rather than by yourself. He is a rather intelligent individual preferring to train or study rather than go out somewhere. If he is ever seen not training he will most likely have a book in his hand. Though he is a loner he will hang out with teachers at the shinigami academy so that he might learn from them after all they do have life experience which is better than you can find in any book. In the academy he is one who seems better at shunpo and kido though he does show some promise in swordsmanship. One of Michael's well quirks is that he places the Captains of the Gotei 13 on a scale of being gods and if he can will try and get there auto graph.

Michael has quite a few hobbies he likes to do but the one that comes out on top is reading. But he doesn't just read about anything. He prefers to read about all the races of the worlds and all possible records on them. So reading for him is allot like training. Another one of his hobbies is anatomy as he likes to research all races he also likes to know the anatomy as well. Though this is not one of his favorite hobbies he is seen doing it allot more than any other even reading, he likes to train his combative skills in order for him to get a fight over with as soon as possible. He tends to train more in the areas of kidou and shunpo but he will also work on swordsmanship and even a little in hand to hand combat.

When it comes to combat Michael prefers to avoid his opponent using shunpo and gauge his opponent all the while biding his time to strike. Though he is proficient with a sword he prefers to use kido to bring down a target preferring to use swordsmanship to block attacks that he couldn't otherwise dodge. He will attempt to use binding kido before resorting to offensive kido in the hopes of settling a fight relatively peacefully.

Born on June 6th. His birth parents were Taiyou being his father and Tsuki his mother. His childhood was a rich and fulfilling one with adventures and plenty of friends like his best one Hoshi.

He was usually the smart one of his class and bullied because of it. His schooling was strict and because of that he aced a majority of his classes. He made it to col ledge as an honor student before he died in a car accident were he and a bully that followed him all through his schooling ran each other off the road. He appeared outside his body as a soul and it seemed a being in black who looked human was standing next to him. The man drew his sword and He was slightly frightened. But the man took the hilt of it and placed it on his forehead which he found weird and his soul was sent to the seritai.

Reborn in the soul society he grew up in west Rukongai district. He would explore the area learning as much as he could. One thing that differed between him and many of the other souls was that he was hungry allot of the time. He liked the Rukongai but it seemed to have little on resources of reading material for him to learn from. So he had to pick up information through people which he was not too happy about. He spent quite a few years of his life here yet aged slowly which he found oddly interesting. Sure he had technically died which he figured was part of it.

Whenever he found a book in the Rukongai he would read it obtaining any helpful or interesting knowledge it might have had and then would give it to someone randomly and walk away hoping they might find some enjoyment themselves from it. Though he found books were hard to come by as there weren't often some just lying around on the ground. So he would experiment with some stuff every once in a while hoping he may learn something as a result. One time he found a animal who had recently died and he took the time to dissect it and see how died. Which he found that it had fallen a great height and broken its ankle and died from internal bleeding or at least that was his speculation. He found it odd that no one had managed to help the animal before it died but then again maybe no one noticed.

Michael was later picked up by a couple of shinigami because of his high spiritual pressure. He was put into the shinigami academy were he showed great potential in kido and shunpo and even a little in swordsmanship. He still currently resides at the academy and hopes to one day become a shinigami. In the academy he shows little interest in his fellow students seeing them as extremely less experienced compared to the teachers and the captains. Especially the captains that is. This is shown by him staying after class and asking his teachers questions of stuff he hopes to learn and understand and he will go out of his way to talk to a Captain about there life experiences though it may not always result in what he wants he finds even talking to one a interesting and fun experience.

He hopes to one day graduate and become part of the kido corps and maybe gain a seated position as kido is his passion. He often is found training or reading about it in between classes and even when theres no class at times. Due to him spending most of his time reading or in the library studying some people may consider him a kind of recluse though this isn't true he still seems to be one at times.

It was a bright sunny day in the seritei. The wind was blowing slightly but it was still warm. But that's not were Michael was. Nope, he was in the academy library studying as he usually was when he wasn't training or listening to a teachers story about the past. He was studying up on the arrancar which he found fascinating. A being who chose to rise to a higher level of power and gaining emotions from what was basically pure evil amazed him. Though he had never met them himself he had heard stories about them and how they had appeared to have formed bonds much like the squads of the seritei.

Though they were still fighting against the shinigami was beside the point in Michael's mind. He continued reading about how most had something similar to a shinigami's shikai though that was to be expected seeing as they had acquired shinigami powers. Though what interested him was the fact that there zanpakuto were not the ones to change but the fact that there bodies were the ones to transform.

After a couple hours of looking over the material he made his way to the training grounds. Today he felt in the mood for some kido practice but it seemed that no one else was there. He took aim at a target and yelled out a kido spell. "Hado 31 shakkaho," he said as a ball of red energy left his hand and it flew straight as it hit its intended target. Michael had prided himself around kido preferring it to other forms of combat. Though he knew how to use a sword he preferred to save that for defense.

It didn't seem that anyone else would be around for a while so he kept practicing changing it up every once in a while. First training offensive kido than binding kido. He did this for a couple of hours before he realized that if he didn't hurry he would be late for class which was unlike him. He soon was shunpoing to class hoping that today's lesson would be worth while and that he wouldn't be late.
