## History

### Early Life

Michael Madison was born to Isis, goddess of fertility, motherhood, magic and medicine and Brian Madison on September 9, 2004 in Richmond, Virginia. Brian Madison was a famous magician in a traveling circus show when he met Isis. They liked each other immediately and were together every day for the week that he was in Virginia. After Brian and the circus left Virginia he had assumed he’d never hear from her again, but he was wrong. A few months later, while he was in California, he found a baby in a basket, with a note, next to his trailer door. The note only told him that Isis could not take care of the child so she gave it to him. This upset Brian but the rest of the circus performers were excited about the baby and offered to help take care of it. You see, all the performers had worked with each other for years and knew each other so well they considered each other family.

### Childhood

Everyone chipped in to help raise Mike, the acrobats did most of it though, aside from Brian himself. The acrobats began to teach Mike at the age of 6, how to balance, starting with balance beam acts. At 8 Brian began to teach him magic tricks, helping young Brina learn slieght of hand. When Mike turned 10, he became interested in the culture and ethnicity of the acrobats. They were happy to oblige and taught him that they came from the Shaolin monks of Asia. After a while he began asking them to teach him their martial art and weaponry. It took a lot of convincing but eventually they agreed, and began to teach him. They taught him how to use hook swords and the chines 9-ring broadsword. He also began performing at that age (10). After 4 years of learning magic and 6 years of learning acrobatics and 2 years of learning the ancient Shaolin arts of combat, Mike became adept in all. As well, while he was 12, he found that he had a connection with the Lion Tamer’s lion. It would seem to listen to him, possibly even understand his words, but Mike could not understand it.

### The Moment Everything Changed

Things looked bright for young Mike, he was on his way to becoming a magic, fighting acrobat! But on his 13th birthday, Mike was attacked by a hell hound and chased away from the circus. They had been in Wyoming then, and Mike was forced to run away into the forests. There he met a satyr, Charles, who had seen him in a show and tracked him down to bring him to Camp Olympia. Together, they began traveling east. Charles immediately gave Mike an Egyptian wand, telling him he'd better learn quickly. After a few days of traveling, the hell hound that chased Mike from the circus found him again. Charles told Mike to wait for the monster to lunge and attack while it was off balance. Mike performed this act flawlessly, as he used his acrobatic skills.

It took Mike and the satyr almost a year to get to Camp Olympia and California, since they couldn't travel by vehicle, and Charles didn't have any golden drachmas to IM for help. During this time Mile and Charles became good friends and talked a lot. They had survive mostly on wild berries and other wild foods (Charles knew which ones were safe to eat.) Once in a while Mike would be able to kill a small rodent or fish. (Which Charles wasn't too pleased about that.) While they traveled the Charles began trying to help Mike discover his powers. Charles was a great teacher and Mike managed to learn most of his powers before even making it to Camp Olympia.

They were lucky enough to have only one monster attack on the way, though it was on Mike;s 14th birthday. It was a giant scorpion that attacked them in Palm Springs. It tried to sneak up on them, but with Mike's innate ability to see in all directions, he saw it coming and dodged. Charles advised him to attack it's under-belly. With that thought in mind Mike jumped and rolled underneath the massive monster and stabbed it. They were able to continue the rest of their journey in relative peace. A few weeks later, after contacting his father and telling him about everything and that he was okay, Mike was soon claimed by his mother.

## Personality

Mike is described as the most quiet boy in the choir. He's mostly reserved and is often seen just hanging out with DJ, his best friend. As the son of the goddess of magic, he is extremely good at magic, casting spells and making potions with Octavia and Daniel. He's known to be intelligent, but not as smart as an Athena Kid. He's creative with his spells and potions, but he can also be shy at times, preferring to stay to his books. Mike is also extremely loyal to a fault. Mike is sneaky, fun, caring, funny, loving, and smart. He is also compassionate and vengeful at times. He is also very artistic and loves drawing and painting. And sometimes he just can't help being mean and rude to the people who's mean to his friends. He is organized with his thoughts and feelings and exceptionally down-to-earth for someone who was raised with so many commodities. Mike has a high level of empathy and sympathy for others and is selfless, especially when it comes to hearing people talking about their problems. He is somewhat untrusting and hesitant when it comes to talking about his own issues, as he usually believes he can sort them out himself. Mike is the last person to lose his head in a situation. He will keep his cool in tough situations and shies away from hand to hand combat whenever possible. Instead, he manipulates situations so that he gets his way in the end and will usually try to disarm his opponent with words. He is also prepared for situations, and has a stock of potions on hand which he likes to use over weapons. He is very blunt most of the time, but he knows how to be very cunning and charming when he wants to be. Mike is very kind to his friends and especially loyal to those he holds dearly.  He is very protective of the innocent people in his neighborhood.  He is a huge history buff. Having been raised in a big family with many cultures, Mike never judges or insults someone’s way of life. He is naturally friendly and outgoing, but has a very strong sense of family. He isn’t the most trusting person, but is always friendly. If he does trust you with deep or important things, then you’re like family to him. Mike loves to joke around and keep things light hearted because it’s his nature, but he does have a bad tendency to ignore those in authority and blow off orders because of being raised in such an uncontrolled childhood, he’s used to being able to do what he wants when he wants, and doesn’t like giving up his freedom to do so. Due to his easygoing and relaxed nature, Mike isn’t easy to annoy or anger, but when you do manage to make him angry you’d best be running. His anger is a very uncontrolled one and there’s no telling what he might do. Mike's style of fighting is a very relaxed one, but it’s reckless. He has no regard for orders or what his teammates are doing, instead he likes to go off and do his own thing. He is also very impatient and is often the first to jump into battle. His relaxed fighting style coupled with his years of training in acrobatics and martial arts makes him a formidable foe, but add his recklessness and you’ve got a dangerous alley as well.

### Fatal flaw

Mike's fatal flaw is loyalty. He wants to keep all his friends safe, and would do any to *keep* them safe, even if he had to give up his own life for them

## Appearance

Mike is described as a young looking seventeen year old boy. He is described as having brown skin, really short brown hair, and brown eyes. He's often described as wearing a jean jacket, a pastel blue shirt, gray shorts, and light blue sneakers

#### Brian (Father)

Mike is very close with his father, along with the rest of his circus "family". Brian and Mike are *very* close and when Mike got seperated from the circus, Brian was a nervous wreck, so once Mike was able to contact him, Brian does everything in his power to at least write to his son while he's at camp

## Etymology

Michael was first derived from the name Mikha’el, meaning **“who is like God?”** in Hebrew. This rhetorical question was posed to reiterate no person was like God. In Hebrew tradition, Michael was one of the archangels. Michael is listed as the only archangel in the Bible, where he appears in the Old Testament’s Book of Daniel as a protector of Israel.

The name Madison was originally an English surname, derived from a non-standard spelling of Mathieson. Madison means **“son of Matthew” or “Matthew's son”**
