-----------------------------General Character Information ------------------------------
Character Name:- Michael Raith
Character Age:- 635 (He appears to be a teenager around the age of 16, 17 or 18[He could pass for any of the three])
Character Gender:- Male
Character Race:- Vampire
Character Position:- Neutral (He does whatever he feels like...whether it's good or evil)
Character Personality:- Michael is a very difficult person to read. He can hide his emotions perfectly, sometimes by putting on a face that is devoid of emotion, or simply masking it by acting happy even when he's angry. He is polite to everyone he meets unless he is completely enraged, so many of his enemies don't even realize they fall into this category. Unlike other Vampires, he also doesn't feed off of humans, though he wouldn't have a problem with doing it if he needed to; he just doesn't need the extra hostility and attention doing so would bring to him. He has no qualms about killing, although he never does it unless he has a reason, and he usually finds violence pointless altogether. He enjoys sparring and other forms of "sport", but dislikes violence aimed at harm. He's somewhat hypocritical in that respect however, because the way he responds to it is with his own harmful violence. He has a soft spot for cute girls, and will almost always help one if she was in trouble. Although he also tends not to read the situation, so if he thinks that a girl is in trouble he’ll “help”; even if she isn’t in trouble, can handle herself, or she’s the actual aggressor. He tends to avoid getting close to them emotionally however, due to his past, though he could be swayed to it involuntarily if he found the right person. One of his more strange personality traits is that he hates the heartless with a passion even though they are his main source of fighting power. This allows him to resist the heartless, while at the same time using their power to enhance his own. He doesn’t aim to destroy the heartless, because he feels that slavery and subjugation will punish them more. Thus, he uses them to test the strength of opponents before he fights them himself, but once he starts fighting, he’ll only use their dark powers if he feels like he needs to. He has mixed feelings toward the nobodies, and treats them much in the same way he treats humans- on a case-by-case basis.
Character's Appearance- Michael stands about 6 feet tall, and has deep green eyes, as well as very dark hair. He’s much paler than most people, but instead of taking away from his looks, it enhances them due to the fact that he seems to radiate with an unearthly glow when light reflects off of him. His muscles are well defined, but they aren’t bulky, and he’s only slightly broader than most people. Michael is what almost anyone would agree to be extremely good looking, due to his vampiric state, and his skin is completely flawless. His teeth are perfectly white, and though his canines are perfect and sharp, they don’t at all resemble fangs. Michael generally wears a white, button-down dress shirt with black dress pants, black socks and a pair of black dress shoes. He has a black cross on a black chain, though the cross is tucked beneath his shirt, so that only the chain is visible, and he wears a black belt with a silver buckle around his waist with a long knife tucked into it. The knife is silver with a black metal hilt, and on the blade of the knife the name “Karrissa” is written. In addition to the knife, on his other hip he has a 9mm securely fastened to it, though for some strange reason not very noticeable, it almost blends into his attire. Occasionally he’ll wear a black suit over the dress shirt, but he usually leaves it off.
~When Michael is enraged, or otherwise wills it, his canines grow into fangs, and his eyes turn red, though no other change is apparent. When he’s not angry, and he wills it he can grow the fangs or change his eyes separately, unlike when he’s enraged when they both change voulentarily.
--------------------------------------Battle Information ---------------------------------
Weapon Name:- Black Cross, he also has a long knife with the name “Karrissa” engraved upon it, though the knife itself doesn’t have a name, and a 9mm pistol, also without a name.
Weapon Appearance: The Black Cross is actually Silver in its original form...a cross on a chain that hangs around Michael's neck. However when he uses it as a weapon, it works in combination with his abilities to create any weapon. The cross is imbedded in whatever "main" shape the darkness takes...therefore if the darkness becomes a sword, somewhere in the sword the Black Cross will be. It's not a weapon in itself, and its magic is only used to allow Michael to hold the corrosive darkness in his hand without harm coming to him. The “darkness” is formed by the cross’ dissolving of a heartless into a weapon temporarily.
When Michael is fighting an opponent without his powers of darkness he uses his long knife (slightly shorter than a short sword), a 9mm (10 shots, 9 in the clip, one in the barrel) or fights hand to hand; though he is capable of biting with his fangs, he doesn’t usually, saving them for when he feeds.
Abilities: [Create 3 Abilities. LIST them with the Ability's name and a description of what each Ability does.]
Attributes of Undeath- Michael’s skin is harder than rock, and thus incredibly difficult to cut or stab through. In addition to that, any minor wound will instantaneously heal itself (A minor wound is a small cut that isn’t even deep enough to touch a vein or artery). His mind is protected by his powers, making him immune to the mind effecting kinds of Illusion. He makes no sound when he walks whatsoever, as he doesn’t breathe and his heart doesn’t beat. It is also extraordinarily difficult to kill him, as he doesn’t need to pump blood through his body, or use any of his organs. Decapitation, being burned to death, or any other method which causes his brain to be cut off from the rest of his body. A silver stake through the heart will also kill him, though it has to have some contact with a person with a heart when it pierces him…thus firing one from a crossbow or a gun, or a nobody stabbing him will not work. (Although for example if you cut off both his arms and legs, he’ll still be alive, but completely unable to do anything unless you get too close to his mouth.)
Vampiric Abilities- Michael’s strength, speed, and reflexes are far beyond the normal range. In addition, his teeth are harder than any metal, and his canines can be converted into incredibly sharp fangs at will. These fangs have a special poison within them that causes extreme pain, but does nothing else. Normally the intense pain is enough to stop his opponents. His smell can be used to track someone better than any hound, and His vision and hearing are also far better than a human’s. His enhanced eyes pierce through both darkness and illusion and perfectly track any movement, so he can’t be deceived by tricks of light.
Summon Heartless- Michael has the ability to summon and command shadow heartless.
Additional Abilities:
Shaping of Darkness- Michael gains the ability to dissolve heartless into a darkness that can be formed into any shape. This expands what he can do with dark powers to a whole new level, allowing him to morph the corrosive darkness into any shape he wants in the area around him, opening up a range of short to mid ranged attacks. In addition, he can also form a few kinds of long ranged attacks (through the forms of ranged weapons…that again can’t be held without the Black Cross), though long ranged attacks would act as they would if it were metal, and would be impossible to manipulate once launched. Most of these attacks, however, cannot be used without the Black Cross as a medium…for without it, the darkness would harm him as well.
Animation- Michael can break down a heartless, and cause its energy to animate nearby objects, causing them to take on a life of their own. For example, an animated sword would hover and attack by itself, or act like a snake, and an animated suit of armor would move on its own. Obviously, the major limitation on this ability is that there has to be something separate to animate (not the environment…mountains, earth, rivers etc.), for a shadow heartless’ essence may move a gargoyle, but it wouldn’t move a castle or a cave. In addition, if the object that he is attempting to animate is attuned to the user (A magic weapon that is summoned…Xero’s sword of Balance for lack of a better example xD) would not be effected in any way, as the wielder’s energy would act as a barrier.
”Blood Magic”- Michael has also adopted another form of power…one known as “Blood Magic”. This is the manipulation of a negative energy that is red in color. This energy is used to negate less potent magical attacks (Any magical attack without a cool down) by counterbalancing positive energy with negative energy. Thus, the positive energy of fire would be negated by blood magic, as long as that fire attack didn't require a cooldown. If it did, then the positive energy would overpower the negative, and be uneffected by Blood Magic. This is a negative attack energy, and not a damaging energy, therefore it will not heal Michael as another form of Negative energy attack would.
Aeromancy- While most vampires aren't particularly potent in the field of elemental magic, some few, ancient, and more powerful vampires have shown a knack for controlling wind. This ability allows Michael to completely manipulate the currents and forms of the wind, using it in many ways; shaping it into blades and walls, or using it for flight. This is a very potent and useful power that takes years of practice. The power gained from this ability is significant, but it will lose head to head with a more focused, potent ability (One with a cooldown) and isn't as dangerous as pyromancy to the body, though against the element itself, it will match it in less potent forms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character History- Michael Raith was born in a backwater world without a real name. He grew up the son of a very rich noble family, and was well looked after by all kinds of servants and guards. As a child, he excelled in all forms of academics, as well as athletics, though his overprotective parents hardly ever let him participate in any form of sport, for they deemed them “too dangerous” and “Unbefitting of a Noble”. As a child he snuck away from his guards many times, and played with some commoners that he’d become friends with. Even as a child his cunning allowed him to play in secret from his parents, and this allowed him a fairly happy childhood, up until the time that he was 13.
When he was 13, his parents discovered his friends, and locked him in the house, forbidding him to see them ever again. Up till that point, he’d been fine with his parents’ zeal when it came to nobility, as well as their insistence on guards up till this point, where he started to hate anything having to do with his parents. He began to spend all his time away from their manor, ditching his guards whenever possible. He learned swordplay and martial arts from two separate people- his friend’s fathers- and kept meeting his friends against his parents’ will. Every rule his parents made, he went out of his way to break, until they cut him off from the family’s fortune, hoping that it would force him to follow their rules. However Michael had never had much use for money, so he’d hardly touched the fortune in the first place, so this action just convinced him not to go back to the manor for a while. After a week, his parents allowed him to access the money again in exchange for him living at the manor, they also conceded some of their rules, and allowed him to do most of what he wanted. The stress of the event caused his mother to become ill, and Michael felt bad when she passed away the following month, though his father didn’t blame him.
At the age of 16, Michael was the most respected and loved teen noble, and was third in line for kingship after the prince and his father, though he had no interest in leading. He still spent much of his time with his friends, and their friends, and was loved by the people as well as the nobility. Few of the other nobles associated as freely with commoners, and even those that did only talked to them, never played games and sports with them as Michael did. He continued his martial arts and swordsmanship lessons, as well as taking diplomatic classes that were required by nobles. He’d forgiven his father, and the two of them got along well once again, though his father’s health was beginning to fail, and Michael had to take care of him much of the time. That’s when he met Karrissa.
One day, while he was out at night fetching medicine for his father, he saw a very pale girl being harassed by a group of young nobles. Naturally, his sense of honor caused him to intervene in the situation. He told them to knock it off, but one of the older ones, around two years older than himself, attacked. Michael was quickly able to incapacitate the man who’d attacked him, and the other two simply helped him up and drug him away as they ran. The girl hadn’t looked afraid for a second, Michael realized, and she simply regarded him curiously before giving him a dazzling smile and thanking him. He bent over to pick up his medicine, but when he looked up she’d simply vanished. Curious, he went home and gave his father the medicine, though for some reason, he didn’t feel that well himself.
After a couple of days, still taking care of his father, Michael’s own health began to get worse and worse, but he mentioned it to no one, for he didn’t want them to worry. At night, he met Karrissa once again, and this time she gave him her name, before looking upon him with worry. Michael was about to ask what was wrong before he realized that she could tell that he was sick…most likely, Michael knew, with the same sickness that his father had. At that time she vowed to save him, though at the time Michael didn’t know how that would be possible, or why a girl he’d never met would want to help him, especially one so beautiful. In the next two weeks, his father passed away, leaving him the entire family fortune, and he himself became limited to his house. One night, he was visited by Karrissa, who had somehow slipped in without him knowing. They talked for a bit, and she apologized right before she bit him, and sucked his blood before cutting her own hand and making him drink some of her blood. The pain of the process was excruciating, but a few days later, he felt amazing.
Karrissa had apparently stayed the entire time during his transformation, and he found her upstairs in one of the many bedrooms. She apologized to him many times for what she did, and told him that it was the only way to save him from death. It took days for Michael to convince her that he’d not only forgiven her, but was in fact grateful for her deed. After that, he spent all of his time with Karrissa, learning about what exactly it meant to be a vampire, which was what she, and now him, was. They only went out at night, but Karrissa explained that it was a rumor that they couldn’t come out in the daytime, it simply drained away most of their powers. They slowly fell in love, but that didn’t last for very long.
Several months later, the townspeople came to the manor, apparently tipped off by a vampire hunter that there was a vampire living with him. The vampire hunter had followed Karrissa from a different village, and had vowed not to rest until he’d killed her. While Michael was out one night, they broke into the manor, and proved that she was a vampire by dousing her in Holy Water, which scalded her flesh, and caused her to scream. They quickly interrogated her, as Michael heard the scream from miles off and raced back toward the mansion. She told them that she’d been deceiving Michael, and that he wasn’t a vampire himself, and the townspeople believed her. However her life was quickly ended by the hunter, who was leaving the village when Michael arrived. Once the hunter was gone, the people didn’t have any holy water, so they tested Michael by waiting for the sun to rise, while telling him the story of what had happened, not knowing that the sun harming vampires was a myth.
That day, he sold everything he owned, and moved his money into a bank. Finding Karrissa’s long knife in the house, he rushed off to trace the vampire hunter. Finding him camped out many miles from the village; he painfully tortured him for several days before finally killing him. Awash with grief, he moved to a small house in another city, and moved to a different city every couple years, using a different name so as not to incite suspicion. He continued that pattern for around 60 years, and picked up many trades, learning how to do basically everything that that time period had to offer. Finally getting over his grief, he began to hear rumors about ways to pierce through the barriers between worlds. The heartless of course, didn’t exist, and the worlds were very separate, but some creatures with a lot of power had still managed to travel between worlds. Finally figuring out an application to his vampiric energy, he learned that at certain point in ever world, he could teleport to another. Obviously, this didn’t give him the power to teleport within the same world, but with his Vampiric abilities, he hardly needed to do that.
Now having masses of wealth, he would be well off wherever he went. As such, he chose to move to Radiant Garden, where he stayed in a small apartment. He always paid his rent, so no one ever checked in on him, so his inability to age was kept a secret. Changing his name every couple of years, and moving into a new apartment complex when the ones he was living him began to be knocked over and destroyed. During the hundreds of years he spent there, he learned almost every trade, being an expert now in medicine, law, mercantilism, Martial Arts, Sword fighting, Diplomacy, Blacksmithing, Fletching, Computer Science, Biology, and the list goes on. He was actually fairly content to live there, but after Karrissa’s death, he’d forsaken the company of other people, so he couldn’t be truly happy. He didn’t feed off any humans while he lived there, only drinking the blood of animals. All was well in his life for a long while…until the heartless appeared.
When the heartless were born, they all but destroyed the world, but it remained intact, used by Maleficent for basing her attacks. Infuriated, Michael found a way through into the corridors of darkness that the heartless used to travel and confronted them, slowly learning how to control them, while destroying many of them at the same time. Lost from the worlds for about a year, he returned when Sora defeated Maleficent, and the Restoration Committee was formed. He helped out the committee in whatever way that he could, up to the point that it was a functioning town again. After that, he simply lived in an apartment once again, learning by night, and living in the house by day. When the nobodies appeared, he didn’t take any action. They never seemed to care about destroying the world, and only really wanted Sora to destroy heartless; something which Michael approved of. After the Organization was defeated, peace returned to Radiant Garden once again, and Michael tried to return to life the way it was before.
For a while he succeeded, but eventually restlessness that he hadn’t felt since he was human overcame him, and he decided it was time to travel. With the barrier between the worlds weakened, he could easily use his dark powers to travel between the worlds, even though he didn’t like to. Because of that fact, he generally just found spots where the barrier was weakest and crossed into the other worlds there. For a while, he traveled from world to world, gathering information on heartless and nobodies, even downloading the information on them from Ansem’s computer. Only the people he talked to to gather information ever saw him, and he began to compile a lot of data. However once he’d gathered all the known information about the heartless and nobodies, there wasn’t a specific purpose for him, so he began to travel just to learn and have fun at the same time.
As time passed, more of his old personality began to show back through, and Karrissa’s death no longer haunted him in the same way it did before, though he still thought about it. He never fed on humans in his travels, wanting to avoid a vampire hunt if he could. He began to talk with other people, and over time got his old charm and social grace back, and was even friendly. Even to the people who hated him, he was always friendly, though occasionally mocking, and it was as if he’d healed almost completely. The only thing that he still avoided was too much contact with the opposite sex, and he wasn’t sure if he’d ever recover from Karrissa’s death to do that. It was while traveling, and acquiring knowledge, that he learned of the Antiforms.
The Antiforms’ attack on Sora and the other keyblade wielders was news that Michael was not happy to hear. He’d been grateful to Sora for saving his home twice, and thought it despicable that these creatures would kill- or whatever it was that had happened- him. Now, Michael searches the worlds for information on the Antiforms, and decided that he would act however he deemed it necessary depending on what he learned. So far he hasn’t found anything more…but it’s only a matter of time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other- Michael isn't living, and thus doesn't have a heartbeat in the organic sense; though unlike a nobody, he still has a "heart" in the mystic sense. His body is always at room temperature, and he doesn't need to breath or sleep. He’s immune to all forms of poison, or other things that attack organic life, though he is also repelled by powerful faith, not just the religious kind. In other words, if someone genuinely believes that some force will stop him, it will (Note: This does not apply to Garlic, it has to be faith in a force, like a God or Magic…if the character doesn’t mention the faith in his/her profile…it’s obviously not strong enough to repel him). In addition however, healing magics based on life-force (Like Cure) harm him rather than healing him, though in exchange negative energy based abilities heal him. Blessed water or “Holy Water” also takes away his vampiric powers, as well as burning his skin on contact…though once the contact ceases, the burns heal. Being hit with Holy Water is intensely painful, and will scald his flesh, and probably incapacitate him instantly.
~Michael loses all of his “Vampiric Abilities” in the Sunlight though the sun causes him no actual physical harm.
~~~NOTE: There are abilities in his History/Profile that he doesn't have...he will shortly after he's accepted, and I won't RP with him untill I get them added.~~~

However Michael had never had much use for money, so he’d hardly touched the fortune in the first place, so this action just convinced him not to go back to the manor for a while. After a week, his parents allowed him to access the money again in exchange for him living at the manor, they also conceded some of their rules, and allowed him to do most of what he wanted. The stress of the event caused his mother to become ill, and Michael felt bad when she passed away the following month, though his father didn’t blame him.
At the age of 16, Michael was the most respected and loved teen noble, and was third in line for kingship after the prince and his father, though he had no interest in leading. He still spent much of his time with his friends, and their friends, and was loved by the people as well as the nobility. Few of the other nobles associated as freely with commoners, and even those that did only talked to them, never played games and sports with them as Michael did. He continued his martial arts and swordsmanship lessons, as well as taking diplomatic classes that were required by nobles. He’d forgiven his father, and the two of them got along well once again, though his father’s health was beginning to fail, and Michael had to take care of him much of the time. That’s when he met Karrissa.
One day, while he was out at night fetching medicine for his father, he saw a very pale girl being harassed by a group of young nobles. Naturally, his sense of honor caused him to intervene in the situation. He told them to knock it off, but one of the older ones, around two years older than himself, attacked. Michael was quickly able to incapacitate the man who’d attacked him, and the other two simply helped him up and drug him away as they ran. The girl hadn’t looked afraid for a second, Michael realized, and she simply regarded him curiously before giving him a dazzling smile and thanking him. He bent over to pick up his medicine, but when he looked up she’d simply vanished. Curious, he went home and gave his father the medicine, though for some reason, he didn’t feel that well himself.
After a couple of days, still taking care of his father, Michael’s own health began to get worse and worse, but he mentioned it to no one, for he didn’t want them to worry. At night, he met Karrissa once again, and this time she gave him her name, before looking upon him with worry. Michael was about to ask what was wrong before he realized that she could tell that he was sick…most likely, Michael knew, with the same sickness that his father had. At that time she vowed to save him, though at the time Michael didn’t know how that would be possible, or why a girl he’d never met would want to help him, especially one so beautiful. In the next two weeks, his father passed away, leaving him the entire family fortune, and he himself became limited to his house. One night, he was visited by Karrissa, who had somehow slipped in without him knowing. They talked for a bit, and she apologized right before she bit him, and sucked his blood before cutting her own hand and making him drink some of her blood. The pain of the process was excruciating, but a few days later, he felt amazing.
Karrissa had apparently stayed the entire time during his transformation, and he found her upstairs in one of the many bedrooms. She apologized to him many times for what she did, and told him that it was the only way to save him from death. It took days for Michael to convince her that he’d not only forgiven her, but was in fact grateful for her deed. After that, he spent all of his time with Karrissa, learning about what exactly it meant to be a vampire, which was what she, and now him, was. They only went out at night, but Karrissa explained that it was a rumor that they couldn’t come out in the daytime, it simply drained away most of their powers. They slowly fell in love, but that didn’t last for very long.
Several months later, the townspeople came to the manor, apparently tipped off by a vampire hunter that there was a vampire living with him. The vampire hunter had followed Karrissa from a different village, and had vowed not to rest until he’d killed her. While Michael was out one night, they broke into the manor, and proved that she was a vampire by dousing her in Holy Water, which scalded her flesh, and caused her to scream. They quickly interrogated her, as Michael heard the scream from miles off and raced back toward the mansion. She told them that she’d been deceiving Michael, and that he wasn’t a vampire himself, and the townspeople believed her. However her life was quickly ended by the hunter, who was leaving the village when Michael arrived. Once the hunter was gone, the people didn’t have any holy water, so they tested Michael by waiting for the sun to rise, while telling him the story of what had happened, not knowing that the sun harming vampires was a myth.
That day, he sold everything he owned, and moved his money into a bank. Finding Karrissa’s long knife in the house, he rushed off to trace the vampire hunter. Finding him camped out many miles from the village; he painfully tortured him for several days before finally killing him. Awash with grief, he moved to a small house in another city, and moved to a different city every couple years, using a different name so as not to incite suspicion. He continued that pattern for around 60 years, and picked up many trades, learning how to do basically everything that that time period had to offer. Finally getting over his grief, he began to hear rumors about ways to pierce through the barriers between worlds. The heartless of course, didn’t exist, and the worlds were very separate, but some creatures with a lot of power had still managed to travel between worlds. Finally figuring out an application to his vampiric energy, he learned that at certain point in ever world, he could teleport to another. Obviously, this didn’t give him the power to teleport within the same world, but with his Vampiric abilities, he hardly needed to do that.
Now having masses of wealth, he would be well off wherever he went. As such, he chose to move to Radiant Garden, where he stayed in a small apartment. He always paid his rent, so no one ever checked in on him, so his inability to age was kept a secret. Changing his name every couple of years, and moving into a new apartment complex when the ones he was living him began to be knocked over and destroyed. During the hundreds of years he spent there, he learned almost every trade, being an expert now in medicine, law, mercantilism, Martial Arts, Sword fighting, Diplomacy, Blacksmithing, Fletching, Computer Science, Biology, and the list goes on. He was actually fairly content to live there, but after Karrissa’s death, he’d forsaken the company of other people, so he couldn’t be truly happy. He didn’t feed off any humans while he lived there, only drinking the blood of animals. All was well in his life for a long while…until the heartless appeared.
When the heartless were born, they all but destroyed the world, but it remained intact, used by Maleficent for basing her attacks. Infuriated, Michael found a way through into the corridors of darkness that the heartless used to travel and confronted them, slowly learning how to control them, while destroying many of them at the same time. Lost from the worlds for about a year, he returned when Sora defeated Maleficent, and the Restoration Committee was formed. He helped out the committee in whatever way that he could, up to the point that it was a functioning town again. After that, he simply lived in an apartment once again, learning by night, and living in the house by day. When the nobodies appeared, he didn’t take any action. They never seemed to care about destroying the world, and only really wanted Sora to destroy heartless; something which Michael approved of. After the Organization was defeated, peace returned to Radiant Garden once again, and Michael tried to return to life the way it was before.
For a while he succeeded, but eventually restlessness that he hadn’t felt since he was human overcame him, and he decided it was time to travel. With the barrier between the worlds weakened, he could easily use his dark powers to travel between the worlds, even though he didn’t like to. Because of that fact, he generally just found spots where the barrier was weakest and crossed into the other worlds there. For a while, he traveled from world to world, gathering information on heartless and nobodies, even downloading the information on them from Ansem’s computer. Only the people he talked to to gather information ever saw him, and he began to compile a lot of data. However once he’d gathered all the known information about the heartless and nobodies, there wasn’t a specific purpose for him, so he began to travel just to learn and have fun at the same time.
As time passed, more of his old personality began to show back through, and Karrissa’s death no longer haunted him in the same way it did before, though he still thought about it. He never fed on humans in his travels, wanting to avoid a vampire hunt if he could. He began to talk with other people, and over time got his old charm and social grace back, and was even friendly. Even to the people who hated him, he was always friendly, though occasionally mocking, and it was as if he’d healed almost completely. The only thing that he still avoided was too much contact with the opposite sex, and he wasn’t sure if he’d ever recover from Karrissa’s death to do that. It was while traveling, and acquiring knowledge, that he learned of the Antiforms.
The Antiforms’ attack on Sora and the other keyblade wielders was news that Michael was not happy to hear. He’d been grateful to Sora for saving his home twice, and thought it despicable that these creatures would kill- or whatever it was that had happened- him. Now, Michael searches the worlds for information on the Antiforms, and decided that he would act however he deemed it necessary depending on what he learned. So far he hasn’t found anything more…but it’s only a matter of time.

Other- Michael isn't living, and thus doesn't have a heartbeat in the organic sense; though unlike a nobody, he still has a "heart" in the mystic sense. His body is always at room temperature, and he doesn't need to breath or sleep. He’s immune to all forms of poison, or other things that attack organic life, though he is also repelled by powerful faith, not just the religious kind. In other words, if someone genuinely believes that some force will stop him, it will (Note: This does not apply to Garlic, it has to be faith in a force, like a God or Magic…if the character doesn’t mention the faith in his/her profile…it’s obviously not strong enough to repel him). In addition however, healing magics based on life-force (Like Cure) harm him rather than healing him, though in exchange negative energy based abilities heal him. Blessed water or “Holy Water” also takes away his vampiric powers, as well as burning his skin on contact…though once the contact ceases, the burns heal. Being hit with Holy Water is intensely painful, and will scald his flesh, and probably incapacitate him instantly.
~Michael loses all of his “Vampiric Abilities” in the Sunlight though the sun causes him no actual physical harm.
~~~NOTE: There are abilities in his History/Profile that he doesn't have...he will shortly after he's accepted, and I won't RP with him untill I get them added.~~~
I did post in shades of grey if anyone even remembers that lmao
