Likes to wear black or red clothing which contrasts with his albino skin. He tries to hide as much of his skin as possible by wearing black leather gloves with metal studs on the knuckles and sweeper coats (ankle length with a cut down the middle on the back running from the waist to the bottom) as much as possible. He has a number of scars the first being on his right hand from when he got it caught on a nail. His most prominent scar however is a scar that runs vertically over his left eye starting about 3cm above the eye and running an inch and a half below his eye. He also has three claw marks from when his neighbours German Sheppard got loose and attacked him.

He walks hunched over with his head down to try to cover his face in shadow to hide how pale it is and wears black sunglasses to hide his eye color. He walks fast to try and keep out of public as much as possible. Wears chains that hang from him belt and (hidden beneath his shirt) a locket with a picture of his two best friends from America taken two days before he moved.

PERSONALITY

Likes: Reading
Chess
Fighting honorable opponents
Dislikes: People who fight dirty/bullies
Overly cheerful people
Bright sunlight
Hobbies: Reading strategy books
Playing chess
Riding A-T's
Fears: Abandonment
Goals: To find a place to belong
Overall Personality: At first he seems to be a punk who doesn't want anyone to talk to him when in actuality he is a nice person who just doesn't trust people but really wants to make friends. He uses his physical appearance and his clothing as a wall/test and those who are willing to make the effort to get to know him are the people he puts a little trust in. He is a calm person who rarely ever loses his cool but when he does there is always a reason. One of his most used phrases is 'I don't care if you try and hurt me however I'll kill you if you hurt my friends'. At times he can seem like he is being lazy but the truth is he's bored because he has already completed whatever task he was doing. He is incredibly loyal to the point where he will kill or even die for the sake his friends. He doesn't like to fight most people however he will fight if a person either A- is a bully B- is an honorable opponent C- is a strong opponent or D- if there's something to lose (if someone threatens his friends or family). In other words he doesn't fight for the fun of it and chooses to avoid violence unless he has absolutely no other choice. He won't fight an opponent who doesn't stand a chance unless that person is a abusing others in which case it doesn't matter who they. As for an 'honorable' opponent I mean someone who would rather make a challenge out right and fight one on one rather than jump someone in an alley with five of their buddies.

HISTORY

Birthplace: New York moved to Tokyo at the start of this term
Birthdate: May 4 1994
Birthtime: 3:15:44 AM
Parents: Mother Marie Dawson nurse, Father Richard Dawson lawyer
Siblings: None

Overall History: He was born in New York city his mother died giving birth to him and his father as a result became an alcoholic. Due to his skin color he was constantly bullied and as a result of his mother dying he was beat by his father while he was drunk. This continued until he was 8 when his father attacked him with a knife cutting his left eye at that point social services intervened and he was placed in the foster system and adopted by his current parents when he was 10. He was always getting bullied and beat up as a kid and one day while he was getting beat up by a couple of bullies he was 'saved' by two people (the result of their intervention was that they got beat up as well) after that he spent most of his time hanging around with them playing chess or talking about books. He always dreamed of getting A-T's but his parents always disagreed to him wasting his money buying them and so he never got any. His friends and him were constantly being bullied for years though they never took it lying down and eventually they managed to physically match the bullies (as a result of the beatings) but mentally they had the bullies beat and were able to get the bullies off their backs. When he was a kid he was often told he was a genius because whether he tried or not he always seemed to get high marks. As far back as he could remember he only wanted two things: to be average and to be have somewhere he belonged though because of his being born an albino and his being incredibly smart he was always being placed above others academically and ostracized by the majority of his peers socially. When he left New York he was given his A-T's by his two friends which was a dream some true. Though he had never liked to compete in contests or matches because of his parents strict dislike of A-T's because of the danger involved he now finds the Parts Wars his main way to gain the parts he needs to maintain his A-T's. When he moved to Tokyo aside from the obvious fact that people avoid him which he was more than used to the first problem was the time zone shift but after adjusting he then faced another few problems speaking Japanese and the currency. The problem isn't comprehension of the language in fact he is fluent in Japanese however the problem is he couldn't maintain long conversations without reverting back to English subconsciously. The currency is a little different than in the US and took a little getting used to.


Roleplay Sample: It had been a week since he and his family had moved from New York USA to Tokyo Japan and though he was fluent in Japanese, French, English, and had a decent grasp of Russian Micheal still hadn't talked to anyone or tried to make any friends. He was a like able guy though people really never gave him a chance it was because of his body he was born extremely pale and with hair so white that the snow was jealous. But out of everything he hated about how he was born he hated his crimson red eyes the most. The reaction he got from when people saw his snow white hair and the pale white skin were nothing to the reaction he got from people when they saw his eyes. Right now he was lying on a branch that was exactly 15 feet off the ground. “The smartest 16 year old in New York and I can't even think of a way to convince my parents to let me get colored contacts.” Though he did convince them to let him dye his hair black which was a plus. He opened his eyes and thought about the next problem his A-T's his parents always said they wouldn't approve of him spending his money on such dangerous things but the truth is his friends had given him a pair at the air port the day he left New York. I could always use their words against them since I didn't buy the A-T's I didn't spend my money therefore they can't stop me from using them. This logic had been what he used to convince his parents to let him use the A-T's. "However I know I'll break them if I try to push it to far and then not only will I need to replace the parts which counts as spending money on A-T's I'll probably get hurt and that would only make things worse. What to do?” He asked himself.

“Well you could always enter in the parts wars” a female voice said from below.

Michael put on his sun glasses and twisted around so he could look at the person his sunglasses were specially made so that they could cover the only thing he hated more than his eyes the scar on his left eye which he hated only because it's what everybody seemed to notice first. Which meant of course his eyes were always second. He was right it was a female and a pretty one in his opinion she was Japanese which was expected she had her hair in a pony tail that went down to the middle of her back and green eyes the only draw back was her expression she was extremely happy. “Whats a parts war?” He asked.

“You really don't know?” She asked.

“I just got my A-T's a week ago” he said.

“Oh” she said and then explained “basically the parts wars is a system where you bet your parts against other parts so you don't have to pay for the parts and your parents wont find out. By the way why are you wearing sunglasses when we're covered in the trees shade?”

“I have my reasons” he said as he adjusted his gloves. He always did that whenever he avoided a question though he tried to stop himself truth is he knew the reaction he would get if she saw his eyes the same frightened look he always got. For some reason people always thought he was wearing colored contacts to try and scare them. “Thanks for the information but how did you know about the parts wars?”

“Because I'm a rider as well my name is Akemi” she said and Michael nodded he looked around at the deserted school yard. Tomorrow would be his first day at a new school in a new city in a new country. If he hadn't been raised to view emotional unrest as a waste of energy he would have been worried.

“Well now I have one thing to look forward to in this hell of a coming week” he said “thanks.”

“Not a problem are you transferring into this school?” She asked. Instead of answering Michael just jumped to the ground and bent down to unlock the wheels on his A-T's “I didn't catch your name” she said.

“I didn't throw it” Michael said back as he stood up and then kicked off against the ground and was on his way home.

He doesnt like to fight but likes to fight honorable opponents? Elaborate on that a bit please

Forgot to add about moving to Tokyo and getting his ATs in your history. Moving across the world has to be a culture shock and you should add in a bit about what that was like for him, and how he adjusted to it.

Also, we do have minimum requirements here to get Training Points to turn into SP by posting. Read This Thread (http://www.soralounge.com/showthread.php?t=171) for more about it, though judging from the RP sample it'll just be a matter of formatting for you and not so much an actual difficult adjustment.

I compliment you for actually adding in aspects of real albinoism into your character and hope you continue to RP it out while you're here =)

Post here when it's all done and I'll take another look over it

All right I read over those rules and yeah I am gonna need to change my format for the training and stuff. Also I made some changes by adding a little bit of an explanation to his overall personality at the end. I also added a bit more to the history that includes not only how he got his A-T's but why he participates in Parts Wars.

Still not sure why someone who doesn't like fighting would accept a challenge to a fight but eh, guess everyone has their personality quirks.

Approved! by CloudShadow.
