• Description

  Michael is a man of many trades, mostly into working with his hands. He was taught a lot by his older brother, Kristov, who was very strong and had the endurance of a river. That man never stopped running.
  
  So neither did Michael.
  
  The man is fit, muscular, and handsome in a manner much different from his brother. He, too, is single and charming, but he has very dark brown hair like his mother, and light brown eyes which seem to come from his grandfather. Pale skin burned and freckled easily, unlike Kristov's who was never speckled yet never even. On the bridge of Mike's nose, there was usually a tan which spread to his cheekbones like wings. His eyebrows are thick and dark, a family trademark.
  
  Hiding in the past few years has helped him grow sallow and pale. Like his brother. Now even little Michaelangelo (as his mother called him) has consistent dark circles like his brother, and the sad yet stern gaze and pale skin of his father.

• Biography

  Michael/Alter (Iplehouse EID Special Forces Rex NS SH+)
  
  Michael is the second son of A and T. His older brother, Kristov, was a great and terrible serving god of a man, and he grew up knowing he would also be of great service. He can't remember much, though.
  
  Michael was a fine soldier in his time, until his memory started to fail and others noticed some changes in his demeanor. He was honorably discharged and misdiagnosed with PTSD, the pencil-whippers hoping his real issues would be caught by the next guy. Isolated in the civilian world, paranoia began to set in as he became convinced that he was being stalked by those who wanted to harm him. How else could he explain the blackouts, waking up in strange places, missing items, the strange phone calls and mysterious messages left around the house?
  
  Michael's breath caught as he entered his apartment to see everything he owned missing, the dingy white walls accented only with bullet holes which spelled out: "I am your guardian angel"
  
  The man who was once a volunteer boy with the spirit of a saint, who would never turn away from helping another... has grown into an unpredictable and dangerous entity. To protect others and himself he's been on the run ever since that day.
  
  Michael is suffering from a severe, un-diagnosed case of D.I.D.

  Alter.
  
  Alter is the name of the guardian angel watching over Michael. He only watched, never intervened until the day Michael discovered that his brother was MIA. Michael was still in bootcamp, and stuck it out.
  
  Alter has laid low for a long time, only taking control of a situation when the need truely arises. He alone holds onto the most traumatizing memories for Michael, and he alone will do what no man will. Convinced that the only way he can save Michael, and mankind, would be to end all wars... This angel decides to 'encourage' Michael to accept divine guidance and follow the path that he was made to run. He will lead Michael to Kristov on a massive witch hunt which will, if Alter is correct, sound the trumpet of judgement day.
  
  Alter is a fragment of Michael's personality. He fronts when Michael suffers from a panic attack or flashback, and takes control.
