Michael/History

==Backstory==
====Early Life====
Michael was born the only child of the von Reinhardt family of Superbia; born as a child of what once was a fully funded and resourced branch of the family prior to the rise of the Dawnguard and the CJA. Through the Continuity ritual performed as a babe in his mother's womb; Michael was born an Elder Blood Breed; the child of one Eliza von Reinhardt and a Blood Breed named Jacob. At first his parents were both somewhat nurturing; his mother being more so but his father still showing some amount of concern. He was virtually inseperable from his mother; engaging in activities most would consider difficult or require years of training casually as fun activities they could share between each other; showing him how to learn things in a way that was tailored to his mind.
On his third birthday, Jacob became more invested in his biological progress as a Blood Breed rather than the emotional support he needed from a  father figure; becoming colder and more emotionless in his dealings with him, "justified" by Michael's potential to remove a curse placed on the species. The change was somewhat sudden and abrupt; and that shift is something Michael has never fully recovered from.A rift was created between himself and his son because of that; as despite being an Elder Michael had been insistent on not drinking blood but had been forced to be slowly weaned on to the taste. Michael would find his mother deeply saddened after a conversation between her and his father after he had put up a resistance which amounted to nothing more but childish stubborness to drink blood and not understanding why his refusal to drink blood was a big deal.
The ritual done when he was a young boy was meant to kick in at full force at the age of two; and as a result Michael's father grew increasingly impatient in the hopes that something would cause Michael to awaken to the "destiny" he prepared for his son. However, Jacob would find it ineffective.Justifying it by telling himself it would be for the greater good; Jacob made one last attempt to appeal to whatever the results of the ritual should have been by bringing his son a young woman and dthier daughter before Michael and declaring them as spies that should be exterminated; veiled as part of the training process of his Blood Breed physiology.
Instead of awakening to whatever destiny he was meant to awaken to however, Michael as a young boy found it extremely cruel that his father could ask him to do such a thing and grabbed the woman and her young child and sprinted off; his natural physiology taking him a much greater distance than an ordinary child.Before he could fully return to give his father the obvious pretense of having killed them; Michael returned to witness a skirmish between mother and father; an inherently unfair one due to his father having bodyguards.
As he made it back, his mother had just been overpowered and all that stood in the way was Michael's obstinancy. Despite knowing how much weaker he was than the average henchman of his father, Michael felt an unnatural pool of burning flame within him, a supernatural rage of sorts. His mother was being dragged off and a sense of powerlessness rang throughout his body. Utilizing his OGene instinctively at the age of five, and more impressively complex Magecraft; Michael combusted into flame as the head of Garuda engulfed his body; dashing straight at one of his father's henchman in blind rage; incinerating him and digging his predatory teeth through his flesh, crushing his ribs, and extracting his heart; spitting it on the floor and stomping on it.
Covered in blood that was rapidly evaporating, Michael stood between himself and his father; breathing heavily and making animalistic groans of pain and anger. This scene convinced Jacob that if he wanted Michael to awaken; all he needed to do was interfere with the one thing he loved the most. Effortlessly incapacitating his son, Jacob sealed his Elder blood off; rendering him more akin to an average Blood Breed than he would have otherwise been. When Michael awakened, both his parents were nowhere to be found; staying in that clearing for days on end, fully engulfed in flames until the Reiss appeared to collect him; called by the people he saved from death at his hands as an instrument of his father.
====The Reiss Orphanage====
Being taken relatively early, shortly after Lyon; Michael developed emotional attachments to his siblings from the Orphanage such as Lyon, Jacqueline, and a more pronounced one to a girl named Alana; also being from Superbia. As time went on, Michael would make deep-seated connections to individuals such as Beckham, Vincent, Gabriel, and even Belenos. For most of his years there, Michael found peace in a family that appeared to be capable of keeping themselves together; developing a deep familial connection to almost every individual in the Orphanage. However, this never overshadowed his desire to retrieve his mother; but allowed him to have a group he could call family and a place he could call home while away from her.
Michael redirected his intellect into making others feel the joy and happiness he had interacting with his mother in the Orphanage; creating robotic toys for his younger siblings and helping the teaching staff of the Orphanage with teaching the children there. Michael was also usually called in if his siblings had been injured doing something they shouldn't so Annie, Avery or Ben wouldn't "see" the injury; though typically speaking they would know due to them just hearing Michael setting things up in his room.
Due to Michael's nature as a Philomath; Michael was typically either found in the Library or his room; where he would find the most peace engaging in scientific endeavours as it let him feel connected to the activities he did as a younger child. The day of the Reiss Orphanage was arguably worse than the day his mother was taken from him; as Michael had just gained a level of confidence, formed lasting relationships and was genuinely enjoying himself there. His connection with so many shut off Michael's processing mind and left him with naught but instinct, picking up anyone that froze.
As if in an attempt to ensure his survival, Michael's brain seemingly paused his emotional trauma to focus on getting as many people he could out along with himself as possible. The torture of having to lose maternal figures and paternal figures for a second time caused him to effectively retrogress; as despite managing to help as many as he could he woke up completely separated from them all; even Alana who he had carried in his hands.The repeated incidence caused Michael to develop an admittedly irrational belief that his love for people or his closeness to people is specifcally what brings calamity on those he cares about; causing him to develop an aura of mystery and coldness to those around him. A conflicting demonstration of concern and distancing himself from others would become quite prominent in his dealings with others.
