Michael Percival Janaro

*"I guess I’ve just been stuck feeling helpless. The monster who did this to me is nowhere to be found, and I’m just stuck here nearly helpless in tracking him so I can avenge my family, and each moment I think grow closer, I lose it all in one swift motion."*

## Appearance

While his clothing is always dependent on the day, some things can never be changed. He has white, wavy hair that runs down about halfway down his neck, with light blue eyes. He has numerous claw scars all over his body, predominantly on his back and chest, with whip marks on his back and a canine bite on his right shoulder, which he always hides. He wears longer clothing in an attempt to hide his scars, even donning a Red Scarf in an attempt to hide his bite mark

## Personality

While on the surface, Michael seems like a man who doesn’t seem to enjoy the company of others, getting to know him will say otherwise. He enjoys conversations with others to a degree, but most of the time you might find him eating or drinking to his heart’s content. When he has free time, he enjoys reading a good story and training with his sword, as well as writing in his journal about the day’s events. Deep down, however, he fears getting to close to anyone as he fears that the problems of his past will catch up and take it all away again, much like it has time and time again.

## History

### Backstory

Michael lived a life like any other child, even despite being born an Aasimar. He lived with his 2 siblings, his mother and his grandfather. He and his siblings were each born with the curse of Werewolf Lycanthropy due to their absent father, and all was well for the family. One day, however, his grandfather betrayed them all and killed the rest of Michael’s family, sparing him and taking him along as a pseudo apprentice of sorts. His grandfather, also being a werewolf, would bite Michael’s shoulder to accelerate the curse, forever changing Michael. For years, his grandfather had abused him, even forcing down the Hunter’s Bane potion down his throat in attempt to kill him, leaving him for dead at 17 years of age. Michael, however, would survive this, and being lost to the world with no one to support him, he made his way to a town. He would serve in the local militia. However, one day his grandfather made a return, leading a group of devils that outnumbered the militia force heavily. Michael fought with his brothers in arms as hard as he could, before he had been knocked unconscious. When he awoke, all of the people of the town had either been dead or captured. Leaving the ruined town, Michael made his vow to hunt down any devil he came across without mercy. Michael eventually made his way to the adventurer's guild, and with as much physical scars as he had, he had equal mental scars, enough for him to always keep looking over his shoulder.

### AG History

Michael began his journey within the guild first interacting with the other guild members. Quite confused by, and admittedly shaken by the guild’s compassion, his once cold emotions began to take a small turn, as he grew to enjoy the company of the guild members.

### Deceased Family Members

Eva Janaro: Michael’s mother was a woman who appeared so nice on the surface, that when she became angry, it was always for good reason. Her compassion still lingers within Michael, as her sacrifice in an attempt to save Michael from the horrors of his grandfather would not be forgotten so easily.

Jackie Janaro: Michael’s twin brother, the two were as thick as thieves, and yet they couldn’t be more different. Jackie enjoyed reading, like Michael, but he also preferred a more formal approach to life. He always felt the need to try and fix Michael, but much like his younger twin, Jackie would enjoy wielding a sword. The two would constantly spar with wooden swords, with Jack winning every match, which would only encourage the younger brother to try harder. Jack was the rival that Michael needed, and the brother that he misses so dearly.

Elaine Janaro: The younger sister of the Janaro twins, Elaine was the sweetest being right next to their mother. Elaine may have only been a little over a year younger than Michael, her care for her brothers would go unmatched, even if she did tattle on the boys for sparring. Michael misses that sweet smile, the soft gaze that always seemed to warm everyone’s hearts.
