OVERALL APPEARANCE:
An angel, Michael cannot walk the earth without a human vessel, his true form able to cause severe injury or death. The individual he currently inhabits is a hale and hearty middle-aged male, with a sturdy, well-developed figure. His arms, legs, and abdomen are decently toned with moderate amount of muscle mass distributed throughout his body. He is of both a healthy weight and height—approximately six foot and two inches—accustomed to a sensible diet as well as exercise. Michael ensures his vessel maintains a wholesome outward appearance, his angelic energy instantaneously healing physical wounds and strengthening the immune system. Despite being contained within a vessel, the archangel’s life force radiates about him, his presence creating a calming atmosphere upon arrival.
Although, he is not overly concerned with his appearance, Michael retains a sophisticated disposition, preferring business-formal attire—such as neatly pressed suits—favoring simplicity. The contours of his face are smooth yet defined, often possessing a subtle amount of stubble merely for display. His hair is short in length— finely shaved—a deep shade of brown that compliments his delicately suntanned complexion. Rarely does he display emotion, neither his voice nor his body language betraying his mood; his tone when talking in perfectly rendered monotone. Due to Michael’s lack of expression, his facial features are often even, perfectly relaxed.

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
The Archangel Michael rarely expresses sentiment, effortlessly maintaining a constant stoic demeanor. Although, he does experience certain emotions, his ability to feel is simply not as developed as humanities’—limited in range; not even his voice or his body language reveal what feelings he is seldom subjected to. Only when his destiny is threatened does he allow his guard to momentarily slip, his intense yearning to prove his devotion to God pushing him ever-closer to the edge of insanity century-after-century. The role his Father assigned him—vanquishing Lucifer—deludes him, having grown into an uncontrollable obsession that permeates his thoughts on a daily basis.
The archangel does possess a profound love for his family—an intense, unfathomable affection and dedication. However, his commitment to God surpasses that to his siblings, and Michael will not hesitate to smite the wicked in order to support his Father—including his brothers and sisters. He will demonstrate compassion to those he deems to be worthy of the Lord’s love and acceptance, although he thinks the majority of mankind has been tainted by evil, succumbing to sin; his siblings gradually yielding to the iniquities of the world as well. Michael is aware that many are losing faith in God and in order to prune his Father’s creation of vice, he wishes to initiate the apocalypse, so he can bring about paradise for those deserving.
He is unconcerned by his own wellbeing, merely wishing to serve God and to carryout His plan, believing free will to be an illusion created by man. Michael’s philosophy is that everything happens for a reason and no matter what path is chosen, it will always lead to the same destination. Fate is a concept he fervently supports, believing in a universe that is preordained from beginning to end—considering Judgment Day to be inevitable. He will adhere to his Father’s instructions without question, his purpose to be a good son, unlike Lucifer who betrayed the Lord as well as his kin. Michael does not want to fail God, his unwavering faith in Him gradually corrupting him overtime.

HISTORY:
God first created the Archangel Michael, who is considered the eldest and most powerful of his kind; the Lord appointing him commander of His angelic army. Michael ensured Heaven maintained its harmony, following the orders of his Father respectively, and keeping a watchful eye over his siblings who he raised and cared for deeply. However, subsequent to the creation of man, betrayal infiltrated their ranks, creating hostility between the siblings much to the archangel’s chagrin. He did not wish to combat his kin—especially Lucifer—though they had chosen to defy God, forcing Michael to fight for his Father’s sake. He demanded they bow before humankind and Michael would not allow others to challenge God’s word. They were to serve humanity and not even Lucifer had the right to do otherwise.
In spite of his brother’s plea to defend his belief concerning the Lord’s newest children, Michael refused to support a traitor, his loyalty to God overshadowing the loyalty he had felt toward Lucifer. Michael confronted the Morning Star and his followers, successfully casting Lucifer from Heaven to earth. He attempted to restore the once peaceful atmosphere prior to the battle, though Lucifer had managed to shaken the angels; their once stable relationship never fully repaired to what it had been. Michael persevered, continuing to uphold his Father’s wishes. The archangel instructed many of the lesser angels to cleanup up the aftereffects of the rebellion and stationed many on earth to watch over humankind.
Soon afterward, Lucifer tainted the human woman Lilith, conceiving the fist demon. God directed Michael to confine his brother within the pit as further punishment, safeguarding the cage with six hundred seals. It troubled Michael to ensnare Lucifer of all his siblings, but he was responsible for his actions, and retribution was justifiable. Almost immediately following the fallen angel’s imprisonment, God left Heaven, leaving Michael to assume control over his family’s actions until further notice. Michael carried on his duties, still devoted to the Lord regardless of his departure. He knew one day he would have to confront Lucifer a final time on the battlefield and a part of him dreaded this knowledge. Nevertheless, he was a good son and planned on conquering Lucifer once and for all.
Centuries elapsed and the earth entered the twenty-first century. Growing restless, Michael came to an infallible conclusion: to break the seals himself in order to unleash Lucifer, believing that humanity had developed into a corrupted world that was a shadow of its former self. He is confident that he will succeed and lead the planet into an era of paradise, achieving what God had created him to do since the dawn of time.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
The Garden of Eden encircled Michael, the lush plant life swaying in unison with the subtle breeze. He observed the picturesque landscape, recalling the various memories he and his siblings shared—a simpler and happier time that was now long gone; vanishing in the fraction of a second. God created man. His Father’s children mesmerized the archangel considering they were made in the Lord’s image. In all honesty, the conception of humankind had caught him unawares, though he respected God’s decision, as did the majority of his brothers and sisters. They were indebted to Him, the life he granted them the greatest reward in all the cosmos. In spite of the suddenty of the situation, Michael willingly embraced the people of the earth, his main objective to please his Father. Serving Him was most important and he would forever adhere to His commands without complaint for His word was law.
The hostilities between his brethren could have been avoided. Michael did not comprehend Lucifer’s disobedience, his brother’s resistance to bow before man spreading throughout the ranks, reaching him solely by word of mouth. Although, he had not confronted the Morning Star himself, he knew with utter certainty his kin spoke only the truth, his beliefs confirmed by God Himself. Lucifer’s refusal pained Michael. Not only was he disobeying their Father, he was betraying him. He had practically singlehandedly raised his younger brother since the dawn of time, the bond he shared with Lucifer the strongest of all their siblings; they were family, however Lucifer was also his closest confident. Now, the Lord instructed Michael to smite him, cast him from Heaven—their home. The act of doing so severely upset him, his devotion to God and his devotion to his brother conflicting one another.
His wings unfurled, as he gazed skyward, hands curling into fists at his sides. A part of him wanted to ask why, but, God worked in mysterious ways, and Michael had to abide by His rules; he was a good son and would not disappoint his Father as Lucifer had done. Those who chose to follow his brother’s example would also be expelled; sinners did not deserve to remain a resident in this paradise He so beautifully fashioned for them. Michael would grieve for Lucifer’s loss as well as his own loss—the loss of a brother, of a friend—though he knew that God had not planned for them to travel down the same path. He also knew they were no longer allies, but adversaries—for it was written.
