Hated Food: He’ll eat almost anything (or at least try it once), but he is not all that fond of sweets, and a bad cup of coffee can completely ruin his morning.

Hobbies:
Nautical Themed - A lover of all things to do with water, Michael partakes in water sports and activities whenever possible. He is a strong swimmer, has his own sailboat “Eulalie”, and will quickly agree to anything in dealing with water. If he could, he would happily sail around the world, or live on an island by himself in the middle of the ocean. He is even willing to teach others how to swim or sail if they ask.
Staying Active - Michael likes staying active, whether it is working out or partaking in just about any sport. He has a competitive nature, so if he has a chance to show off his abilities, he will. He enjoys baseball, football, and soccer the most, but if it involves being outdoors, he will happily join in. Built for stamina, Michael is more likely to accept challenges for long races or sporting events than sprints or single chances to win or lose.
Mechanical Engineer - Like his father, Michael has a degree in engineering, which he is passing on by teaching the subject at Azure Valley. He enjoys being able to work on his motorcycle, or any other kind of machine. Being able to pull something apart, inspect it, and put it back together is enjoyable for him. Whine he doesn’t have any kind of license, he knows plenty about plumbing and electrical, and helps out when needed, although he is sure to let someone know if they will be in need of a specialist.
Virtues:
Confident - It is easy for Michael to draw people to him with his confident personality. He gives off the air of being an accomplished individual, and he can easily show proof of such accomplishments because he makes sure any goals he sets for himself are short term and tangible. He has a competitive spirit, is resourceful, and has a strong sense of justice and seeks to recreate order within chaotic situations.
Intuitive - Human nature is easy for him to understand, even if he doesn’t always cater to basic human desire for attention and affection. He is observant of people and situations around him and it is easy for him to recall facts due to that observation. Even though he doesn’t often indulge in what people want from him, he is very personable because of that human understanding. And once someone gains his trust, they have his undying loyalty.
Passionate - When Michael finds something that drives him, he takes it on with a fierce passion. Whether it is about his responsibilities as a teacher, or personal goals, or even as a brother, Michael takes it upon himself to follow through any decision until its completion. Michael is focused on his goals and adaptable to situations that come up. His competitive spirit does not let him give up, regardless of how difficult things might seem.
Flaws:
Facetious - Although he is confident, intuitive, and passionate, he also tends to be disillusioned by those around him and human nature in general, making him quite facetious. His sarcasm and harsh, joking nature tends to make him seem in contradiction to his otherwise welcoming personality. Unwilling to get too emotionally involved in anything, he tends to exaggerate his sarcasm to the point of being hurtful at times, even if he doesn’t always mean it. But sometimes he does.
Manipulative - Being able to control his life and situations surrounding it is important to Michael, which means that if he has to manipulate people and situations in order to be in control, then he will do so. His experience and confidence makes him feel superior in many ways to others, and through his manipulation is able to hide any ulterior motives he may have. He does not think he is a bad guy, but often leads others to believe that he is if only to keep himself from getting emotionally involved and hurt.
Unyielding - Above all things, Michael fears failure. He fears not being strong enough to protect those he cares about, about not succeeding in goals he sets for himself, and about letting people down. His flexibility allows him to seem as though he brushes off failures and is able to easily move on, but it deeply affects him. This makes him into something of a hard-a**, unwilling to relent in achieving his goals. He is untrusting of others, knowing that many are like himself in the fact that they hide their feelings and motivations, but once his trust is gained, his loyalty never wavers.
