Michael is a slim, muscular boy. He has dark, raven hair in a frayed style that either cascades over his forehead, or juts out at angles. He has mysterious, troubled blue eyes (no, not pink, silly icon). His face will often be in either of two facial expressions; a troubled frown, or a mischievous grin, usually the latter.

Michael is quite a stereotypically feminine boy. He has many gal pals, and only a few guy mates. There's not really any particular things, other than his slightly camp demeanour, that could be put under this heading; it's sort of a... quality that everyone recognizes. This has lead many (including Tallulah Ondine) to think he is gay. He isn’t, but many of these encounters have made him consider bisexuality. Well, more like try out a bit, then decide it's cool.
However, as tame as he may seem casually, he has a raging temper when he gets worked up. Without his sisters to quell him at Somnium, he has beat up quite a few boys, but now most people know him properly and understand his rage as a part of his psyche that he tries to control, and he does try, through very aggressive behaviour through dance. Which unfortunately he cannot exactly do in the corridors without some strange looks. A girlfriend/boyfriend could also help him stay calm if he had one.
His anger stems partially from his secrecy. He keeps all his feelings and thoughts bottled up, never telling anyone except for his closest friends, and maybe a gf/bf.family & history

OTHER FAMILY: Nobody that means anything
HISTORY:
Michael's family was very normal (like all my charries, i don't hold with soap opera style drama ). He was the mniddle child of three, so as you might expect he didn't get much fo the attention. His father was out of the country a lot for work, so, left with three females to be his only company for msot of the time, he naturally developed a more feminine side.
At primary school, he excelled in most classes, especially the Arts, but couldn't really get the hang of science.
He was an aggressive boy, and for some time his relatives and the parents of other children at school were under the impression he might have some form of pschological problem. His mother took him to a shrink, who concluded that he just needed an outlet for his anger, which stemmed from lack of a male role model. So, he was given boxing lessons.
(sooo tempted to do a Billy Elliot bit now...So I will )
Despite releasing a lot of tension through boxing, he didn't like it. He actually didn't like violence that much really, but he couldn't help his outbursts. He decided to take up dancing. An elegant sport, full of beauty grace and stamina. His mother and sisters were really supportive, but his father wasn't really the type to find that OK in a boy's hobbies, so whenever he asked what Michael was doing, Michelle would just say 'oh, the usual' or 'he's a got a hobby'.
(Oh forgive me guys please XD)
He spent a few years at high school, then, after teachers saw his potential for greatness in creative writing and drama, his parents decided to sign him up for Somnium, and he was sucessful. He had also around this time developed an interest in religion. Not the complex ideas surrounding deep theology, but studying the practices of each culture and how they changed was fascinating.
He was amazed at the idea of Dream World, and was nearly prepared to believe the staff fully when they told the new students about it. He went to sleep that night, his head full of ideas about his Dream form. I won't go through all his bizarre thoughts, but he was definately surprised to 'wake up' in the Dream World as a vehicle.
His GCSE years passed without much consequence. Tallulah Ondine convinced herself that he was gay, and made constant remarks about it. It made him think that he might actually have been gay, and totally confused him. So much that his Dream Form turned shocking pink. He took his GCSEs and passed a fair few, well enough to take his favoured subjects to AS Level.

He moved onto AS Levels and continued to work at his creative studies. He was now an accomplished writer, actor and dancer. He slept around with some guys (and girls of course), certain of his sexuality now, but still it was, and is today, a secret to most students.

Volvo
Michael becomes a boxy Volvo known simply as the M-Car, or just M (Mickster would have been cheesy of me wouldn’t it? ). There are no actual Volvo brand names on the shell; it’s just the car it looks like most. However, on the bonnet there is a raised M where you might expect a brand badge to be.
The universal utility of a car represents his desire to help people, which is hidden beneath his violent exterior, represented by the intimidating size and shape of the Volvo. Also, the Volvo is considered a family sort of car, which translates from his love of his sisters and mum.
The boot of the car never opens to anyone but his most trusted friends, to represent his secrecy, meaning if you’ve got luggage it’ll be a tight squeeze.
Oh yeah, and it slowly turned shocking pink from dark green about two years ago to represent his growing femininty and bisexuality, courtesy of Miss Ondine.
Oh, one last thing, I talked to Chris and she said it was fine that I said it turned pink instead. Can you really imagine a Volvo in a skirt?
