Michael Sin

*"Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to blind themselves because you are the sun."*

**Michael Sin** *(né Donaldson)* is an overly confident, sarcastic and egotistical young adult who prides himself on stunning presentation, passion towards the arts and his own academic abilities. He is the adopted son of Jacob Sin, and the adopted brother of Ben Sin and Richard Sin, joining the family in 2004 after a falling out with his two mothers about his unsanitary habits. Many of his desires centre solely around benefitting himself, although he carries a sense of self-awareness that makes him slightly more bearable. He is a rather reckless and dangerous individual, and has been behind the deaths of all characters who have passed away.

He is incredibly dramatic and arrogant, but at times can display a caring and thoughtful attitude towards his family and peers. More often than not, Michael is a warm individual who simply wants attention, putting himself on a remarkably high pedestal as he genuinely believes his theatrical skills will make him famous.

## Persona

### Personality

Michael is incredibly vain and thinks very highly of his abilities in all fields, especially the performing arts. He is extroverted and not afraid to be blunt with his peers, often overstating his experience in order to appear better than everybody else. He is a passionate individual and is not one to quit on a goal, and will usually push his desires to the point of failure. In many respects, he is delusional, and nothing will sway his opinion of himself or his belief that he is preened to be the next Lady Gaga.

He is still a caring individual and never actively tries to sabatoge anybody, more inclined to take on a leadership role in times of dire circumstances. He loves his family, even considering Ben his best friend, and does attempt to impart some rather awful wisdoms in an effort to be helpful. If he makes a mistake, he will try and correct it, and is entirely self-aware of some of his limitations. Even though he does not set out to cause trouble, it is within his nature to do so, and so his moments of kindness end up falling between the gaps of created chaos.

### Appearance

Michael is very concerned about his appearance and likes to dress flamboyantly and extravagently. He does not have a set statement piece, but is in a rota of brightly coloured crop tops and short shorts. He has dark brown hair that is frequently tousled and unkempt, and is a little chubbier than his classmates. He is not exceptionally tall, coming in at 170 cm.

He wore a snake costume to Todd's Halloween Party.

## Biography

Before being adopted by Jacob Sin, Michael had already had two different sets of parents. At birth, he was given up by his biological parents, the Donaldsons, and adopted by a lesbian couple. Michael attended St. Hallingtons for his KS1 education, a chain of schools much more prestigious than Prevansworth. He failed his final exam and could not pass up to the secondary level, forcing him to apply for Prevansworth instead.

### Prevansworth

In September 2004, Michael was evicted from his home on the grounds of unsanitary habits, effectively leaving him homeless. He befriended Richard Sin and told him of his predicament, taking an instant liking to Richard's last name. Richard picked up one more stray student and introduced them to his dad, who would regrettably adopt the both of them a year later. Michael's career at Prevansworth was nothing short of bloody and mortifying; he caused the deaths of more than a few individuals and had them all covered up, evading the law each time. He failed almost every exam he took and was unable to convince anybody he was a trustworthy individual.

In 2011, after causing the temporary death of Todd McCableroy, Michael graduated Prevansworth with incredibly poor grades. He bribed his way into King Squilliam and opted to study law, unknowingly setting himself on the same cyclical path of disaster as his adoptive father.

### King Squilliam

Michael attends King Squilliam in 2011. His long-suffering roommate is Zola Abebe, who is as anarchic as Michael is, although she is heaps better at law. Michael is much less destructive at university than he was during his secondary school days, mostly because the role of instigator had been naturally allocated to Squashrobert Squash. He graduates, and he fails, because much like his father he did not see the benefit in attending the lectures, believing law to be common sense.
