Face Claim: Keanu Reeves
OOC Name: Tendy
CHARACTER NAME: Michael Gregor
AGE: 34
CURRENT RESIDENCE (Which land in Elysium will they live?): Aralore
APPEARANCE (General info, Height/weight, Eye/Hair color, build, etc.):
Michael is tall and slender. He is in excellent shape for looking like a dainty willowy wisp of a man. He may not look it, but he has a well toned body. His stomach is flat, lacking any muscular abs like the other macho men out there, however there is lean corded muscle. If you were to touch him you’d find he had strong toned muscles specifically in his arms and legs from the line of work he does.
His hair is a very dark brown, sometimes being mistaken as black unless the appropriate lighting hits it and you can see the brown of his hair. The same goes for his eyes, being a dark brown, that they look black in shadow. He has dark, intelligent eyes that observe everything. Specifically how people move. He has an artistic eye, and loves to watch those that have a good form. Even more specifically, he can pick out a good horse with just one glance at the creature. He has a long, narrow oval ish face, with thin lips. He has a rugged handsomeness to him, and he keeps his hair fairly long enough that it hangs just around the tips of his ears. He has a wind blow look to his straight hair, or it often looks like he’s run his hands through it several times. He keeps a short nicely trimmed beard, that he will sometimes shave off if the mood strikes him.
Mikhail has a confident sexual vibe about him, that draws people of all sexes towards him. He can usually find at least one person staring at him, that he sometimes will take advantage of...in more ways than one. Mostly, it's the way he carries himself with a confident walk, and an air about him that he’s a man who knows exactly what he wants, and how he’s going to get it.
MARITAL STATUS: Single
FAMILY MEMBERS:
Killian Gregor - Brother
Mother
Daniel Gregor - Son (5)
POSITION/OCCUPATION: Guard
GRAMARYE GIFT (if any):
None
PERSONALITY:
Arrogant, cocky, self-entitled, are usually the first three things someone will use to describe him. Followed by an impulsive grump, who is almost as unpredictable as his temper. He can be a very difficult person to get along with if you aren’t his brother. Due to his past, he has little to no care for other people's feelings. Making him an asshole in people’s eyes. Michael is very unpredictable and it makes people hesitant to depend on him, however he’s actually quiet dependable if given the chance. He’s very opinionated and if your views don’t match with his, he has the bad habit, as well as very rude one, of shutting down and ignoring you. More times than not, he’ll just tell you your opinions are stupid and then walk away.
For all these bad sounding traits, there are some good things about him. He’s very family oriented and puts them usually first before himself. He's a great father who makes time for his son, and is quite proud of turning him into the little gentleman he's becoming. He tends to help people without them realizing it, and won’t mention it too them. If they do notice, he’s actually rather humble about it, not drawing attention to himself. Michael makes for a great listener, and even if he doesn’t give the best advice, you can count on him to be brutally honest about it. Not holding back, even if the truth may hurt.
He forgives people, but will still hold a grudge. Making him difficult. The sure fire way to get back in his good graces is to give him minaturetts or tiny things to add to his collection. He may not always be nice to people, but he is an animal lover and is kind to them. Michael is a giant neat freak. Bordering on having OCD he likes things a certain way, and keeps his space always tidy and clean. He enjoys cleaning and will do it on occasion, always leaving him in a better mood then when he started.
Michael is the guy you call for the difficult things. The dirty, hard things no one else wants to do. He follows a job through to the end no matter what it might cost him, however if it puts his brother in danger he’s a quick thinker to try and get them out of the situation. He’s been known to be easy with a hug, but he might stab you in the back. Meaning you have to be really careful about putting your trust in him, as it could lead to dangerous results.
One of the biggest things he’s noted for is his laugh. If you can get him to laugh that is, it’s a loud, pleasant sounding one that usually makes others join in as well. He’s a bit of a catch with the ladies, and a few men to whoever takes an interest in him. He’s a fantastic lover, who knows exactly what he’s doing and how to make anyone feel comfortable. The only thing he cares about with his lovers is if they move a certain way, but otherwise, he could give a two fucks about what they look like.
HOBBIES: Collecting minatures, horseback riding, cleaning
HISTORY:
Michael, like his brother, was a middle child until his oldest brother and father were killed in the same hostile takeover that killed the king and queen. His family attempted to remain under the new ruler, to stay with their family lands, but they didn't last long. They were forced to leave in order to survive, and his mother remarried on another island.
At age 17, Michael left home with his brother Killian without a second thought. The two were barely nine months apart, and despite their clashing personalities, they made an excellent team. Their goal was to seek their fortunes, so that they might come back to their family and raise their mother back to the kind of home she had enjoyed back in Aralore. After traveling with the Brotherhood for two years and building up their savings, the two men returned to find that things had only gotten worse for their mother. She was ill and her younger sons had been struggling to care for her. Killian immediately took charge of the household and whipped things into shape, while Michael backed him and did what he could to help in the beginning. The younger brothers moved away, no longer feeling obligated to care for their aging mother.
While Killian might have left the Brotherhood and joined the army, Michael staid in the brotherhood. Going off on is own for a time being for some self growth to find out what type of man he could be without his brother. The result was not something he was prepared for. He was ruthless, if a bit merciless and quite enjoyed the work. He was good at it. Very good at it, so much so it caught the eye of a noble woman who was a bit older than Michael. The affair started almost immediately and he left the brotherhood without telling his family, to become a guard for Anna Turner. She was a married woman with two children already, but neither of them seemed to care. He grew to love her, and she whispered promises of a future with him instead of his her husband, she wanted to run away with him, and in turn Michael wanted it too. To take her far away from her children and the life she knew and make a life with him instead. She told him she loved him, wanted to be with him as well. Mikhail was so excited he began to make preparations. Trying to find the right time to leave, the time never seemed to show itself. Anna told him it wasn't the right time. And then she fell pregnant...
The months that followed was a difficult time for Michael. Anna had to hide her pregnancy from husband which was rather difficult but she somehow managed to pull it off. Michael managed to find a midwife pay for her silence as well as get a wet nurse once the baby was born. A son. Born in the stables in the middle of the night. Anna had seemed thrilled, happy even, and when Michael had begged her for them to leave that night, she refused. In the following months, it was Michael who had to hide the baby, and care for little Danny. And then it happened. Michael walked in on a sight he was never meant to see. Anna, was having an affair with another man, that was not her husband, nor Michael, and then he knew. She never loved him, just what he could do for her. She didn't want a life with him, or their son. If Danny hadn't of been the spitting image of Michael, he would have second guessed whether he was even his son. Heartbroken, betrayed, and wanting nothing but his own family, Michael left Anna with one parting gift. He went to Horace Turner, her husband, who had come to trust Michael, and told him what he had seen of the Mrs, before he resigned. He left with his son then and never looked back.
Michael came home with a baby. You can imagine the shock on his brother and mother's face's, but he explained that Daniel was his son, his mother wasn't in the picture, she never would be, and he never wanted to talk about it again. He was an even grumpier man after he came home with Danny, and threw himself into parenting and joining the army. When rumors came up that Aralore was being restored, Killian insisted that the three remaining Gregors move home and help restore the island. Michael helped as much as he could while putting his son and mother first. He wasn't as friendly as his Killian in helping the others, but he did do what he could, just a bit more discreetly.
When they moved to the new island a few years later, Michael wasn't as annoyed as Killian, but rather did whatever was asked of him. Just glad to be back with his family and those he loved more than anything. Like Killian, he trusted the queen, and loyally the Gregor family followed her to the new location.
In the war, Michael was a demon on the battlefield. Moving swift and quickly, it was like he'd been possessed. Turning all the hatred he'd ever felt in life on the enemy. Daring them to come at him and to try and get in his way from the bloodshed he sought. He was quite the opposite of his brother, but the Gregor brothers were a fearsome duo, and there was no one Michael trusted more to watch his back. They would do what was needed to protect their home, their family, and their queen.
Like his brother, Michael joined the queensguard. Wanting to become someone his son could be proud of, and to prove to himself that he was a man worthy of many things.
