Skates

Skates is a supporting anti-hero in the War-Beasts series who is actually Michael Young, the older brother of Richard Young - who is a good friend of Cocoa and her group: this can cause some tension as Michael is quite an aggressive vigilante and can sometimes clash with Cocoa and her team, making him the only real anti-hero of the series.
==History==
Michael Young was only 11 years old when Cocoa and her "family" arrived in Sunny Acres and wasn't as trusting as his younger brother, Richard, who was only 7 years old at the time - yet he would soon warm to them and accepted them as regular neighbors for the twelve years they were an active part of the community.
When the Metal Empire attacked on the eve of the twelve year however Michael became concerned for Richard's safety after he became injured - deciding to become the vigilante known as Skates and strike at the Metal Empire before they could do further damage to his community.
He would strike fast and hard, attacking Pandora and her Elites shortly after they were deployed to Sunny Acres, yet his tactics were rapidly turning the streets into a war-zone as the Elites simply fought back with increasing force: this caused Cocoa and her team to clash with Skates and eventually he came to his senses and backed away after he finally saw the damage he was doing, though he warned them that "it was far from over".
Sure enough when Richard was kidnapped by the Elites on his 19th birthday Skates was once again willing to charge in - though he was stopped by Cocoa and her team, who explained to him such tactics could kill Richard rather than aid him: thus Skates somewhat reluctantly allied with Cocoa and her team to stage a daring rescue mission and bring Richard to safety.
Following Richard's safe return Skates has become an on-and-off anti-hero who ultimately fights for justice but can often clash with the team due to his tactics.
==Appearance==
==Personality==
Skates is an aggressive fighter who often utilizes more force than necessary against his opponents - this causes tension between him and the main cast, who do not like utilizing such brutal force against their enemies: he is also prone to attacking any who stand in his way, which means he varies between an ally and enemy to the team (often he acts as both).
==Power Functions and Anatomy==
