General Appearance:
Micah stands at a full height of 6'2". He has a lean muscled build that gives him a slightly intimidating appearance. His shoulders and chest are broad and his waist is tapered just slightly. He has the basic corded muscle of a swimmer. Though he has been athletic all his life to keep in shape so he doesn't wear out easily when training. He has a naturally tanned complexion from being in the sun a lot. He practically lives in the outdoors. He loves the sun and thrives in it. His tan is just a light sun kissed one that doesn't contrast too greatly with his pale eyes and hair. His features are angled with raised cheekbones, strong jawline, full lips, and a straight nose. His hair is a deep golden blonde with darker brown roots. It is his natural color as well. He keeps it short and pushed back off his forehead. His bangs are seen brushed to one side or standing up as he constantly runs his fingers through them. Though there are times when he feels like leaving them down. They reach the tip of his nose at the longest point.
His eyes are a bright pale blue with flecks of silver and darker edges to make them appear intense. They're rimmed with darker lashes to bring them out much more. Micah prides himself in having a rocker style. He is seen most often in band or graphic shirts with a pair of fitted jeans. He tends to wear darker colors with a slight flash of color. His close are fitted to his body to accentuate his built figure. He may not be too bulky, but he has enough muscle mass to be noticeable and help him in a fight. His overall appearance exudes confidence as well as a typical teenage style. He isn't too fond of long sleeves, but he will wear them if he needs to. Otherwise he's more comfortable shirtless with just a simple pair of jeans. Though he'd settle for a t-shirt and jeans with comfortable shoes. It really doesn't matter to him.
Personality:
Micah is a pretty laid back person. Compared to how he used to be when he was younger. He has matured and grown a better sense of control on himself. He is now understanding how his power works and that getting angry only makes things worse. He is a calm individual, but there are times where he will get aggravated. He isn't so much violent as he is impulsive. He will only fight physically if someone he knows in danger or if he's been struck first. He is basically in a sense a hothead. He will not strike physically but he has a tendency to yell..a lot. He is brutish in his actions as well as impulsive. He prefers to do things his own way. He is a social person, but is a bit gun shy when it comes to fully trusting anyone. He's still a bit self conscious of his ability, though he will never show it. Micah is also a very lazy individual. When he is not training, working on his power, or otherwise socializing, he likes to sleep or just relax. He can be found laying on anything from the ground or a couch if one is nearby. He likes to stretch out and just simple calm his mind and focus on anything else than what is happening.
One other thing about Micah is that he is a bit of a flirt. Well a bit might be an understatement. He loves to flirt and just generally be around women. He isn't too big on relationships due to his trust issues, but he will flirt none the less. He is also an arrogant show off when it's in his interest. He will use small bursts of his powers to gain attention. Mostly from the female gender. He can come off as the most arrogant and selfish person you'd ever meet. Or he could be the laziest person you'd ever meet. His personality tends to change. He becomes sluggish after using his powers, though that's only when he uses a small amount. When he uses it to the full limitation, he will just simply pass out. It all depends on when you can catch him. He has three separate personalities. One is arrogant and cocky. Another is hot headed and stubborn and the last is lazy and simply lethargic. They all appear randomly so it's always unpredictable which personality you'll get when you meet him.

History
[/blockquote]
Micah was the first of three children born to Jason and Samantha Reid. He was born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota. Though he almost never had a chance at life. When he was born the main artery to his heart wasn't fully developed and his heart had stopped for three minutes. They managed to revive him and took him into emergency surgery. He now has an artificial artery in his heart that must be changed very five years. This has caused his body to be weaker than others and his heart to have a slight murmur. Though he lived like any other child, happy and energetic. He attended regular schools and went into sports at a young age. His favorite sport being soccer. He played all the way up until he hit high school. His siblings had come two years each after him. So being the elder sibling he was always in charge of looking after them. His parents were always busy with their jobs.
His mother worked as a veterinarian, while his father was an architect. He had a simple life in a middle class family. Though when he hit puberty things had begun to change. Ever since he could remember he had always heard comments about how his body was warm. Though he never thought of it as being anything unusual. Though as he grew that body temperature had risen to a point that wasn't normal for a human being. Doctors had tried to figure out the cause but nothing was ever found. At least that is what they told Micah. His parents had been informed of something strange in his blood work. His parents ignored this and passing it off as something imaginary and remained in denial.
Micah had been kept in the dark and soon his parents had begun receiving calls from a place called Hammel Institute. They ignored it, saying there was nothing wrong with their son or they had the wrong number. Micah never seemed to mind this for he acted as if his body temperature was normal. Though it got a bit more complicated when he grew more aggressively competitive in the sports he played. His team had been losing and in anger, he had stomped down on the field as he ran. This had caused a slight fissure to form in the earth. The more he ran the longer the fissure grew. Though it was a small fissure and otherwise unnoticeable. Though some of his teammates had noticed but didn't say anything.
The opposite team had scored and he threw a fit. He had always had his father's temper. It was a typical thing in his family for the males to have a harsher temperament. His team had inevitably lost the game and he had used his anger as momentum and threw himself on the ground. This caused the fissure to grow a bit more and minor tremors to shake the ground around him. This had startled his teammates and anyone watching. His father had managed to calm him down. Though the fissure remained. He had promptly blacked from the initial shock and energy used. That night his parents asked him what had happened, but he had no recollection of causing any damage.
Concerned, they had put him into therapy to see if anything could be done for him. This angered him more and soon he rebelled against the help. His parents were contacted once more by the Hammel Institue when he turned fifteen. His parents were wary but eventually agreed to let him go as they had no other options. He had yet to have another episode like on the soccer field, though he began to explore it in private. He used what his parents had told him what happened and tried to recreate what had happened. He pushed all his frustrations into it and created a larger fissure than before. Though he had pushed too hard and caused a wide fissure and a flood of lava to surge forth. Startled he bolted away from it and tried hard to focus on retracting the liquid. After a few tries it had been subdued. He then had promptly passed out with a migraine and weary body.
He attended Hammel until he graduated and entered the local college. He spent his spare time working with his power. Soon he gained a better grip on it, though he had a few times where it had fluctuated out of the control. Though he had learned a lot at the Institute. Now he lives in Vermont and has made a new reputation for himself. He plans to live in Vermont for a while and has no plans on returning to a family that fears him.
Roleplay Example
Micah wandered around his apartment, mulling over the day's events. He had signed up for a Matchmaking service. Something he never thought he would ever do. Though with his track record, it was the best bet for getting at least someone suitable to spend his life with. Marriage was a bit final, but hopefully it'll work out. Shaking it off, he began to get ready for the day. He had woken up early and received word that he had been matched. He had simply been given a name and contact information. He tilted his head at the letter. Jezebel Luther. Interesting name. He just hoped she was at least nice. He didn't like the clingy women he dated in the past. He shrugged off the memories and moved to collect his outfit for the day.
He had contacted her after receiving the letter and they had agreed to meet at the local cafe in town. It would be just a casual meeting just to get to know each other. He wasn't exactly comfortable with the idea of jumping straight into marriage. Outfit in hand, he stepped out of his room and went into the hallway bathroom. He took a quick shower and changed into a simple outfit. Soon after he fixed his hair and left the bathroom. He moved into the living room and retrieved his favorite motorcycle boots. After slipping them on, he grabbed his wallet and placed it in his back pocket. Then he pulled his leather jacket on and took his keys and left the apartment.
Heaving a heavy sigh and calming his nerves, he wandered down to the parking lot. The roads were not good enough for him to use his bike, so he left it in favor of his car. He got in and turned on the ignition. He checked the clock on the radio. He had about ten minutes to spare before their meeting time. He pulled out of the parking lot, turning down the street toward the cafe that was their meeting place. He had the radio up, filling the vehicle with the usual classic rock like The Ramones. He smirked at this and focused on the road. He arrived at Shatter's Cafe within a few minutes and found a parking space. He got out and pocketed the keys after locking his car. He headed into the cafe and was greeted by the sweet scent of sweets and bold smell of caffeine.
He stepped up to the counter, ordering a simple black coffee with sugar. He glanced over the menu again and paused at the list of sweets. He smirked and ordered a couple chocolate chip cookies as well. He had always had a bit of a sweet tooth. He paid for them and moved to the side to wait. He glanced around, hoping to spot anyone familiar. He wasn't sure what she looked like, but maybe if he found someone that seemed to be waiting then maybe he could try them. That is if she was here already. He didn't see anyone in that description, so he turned back and retrieved his coffee and cookies. He chose a seat by the door so he could watch for her to arrive. He took a sip of his coffee before setting it on the table and unzipping his jacket. He then took a seat and waited patiently for her arrival.
