Personality-
The majority of the time Michael is a very optimistic person who is generally very friendly and when the moment calls for it, funny. Michael prides himself in being very determined, even though it often serves to inhibit him. In this determined state of mind, Michael often acts in a very rash manner in which he does not think out his actions to the point where he recognizes their repercussions. However, through his determination, Michael is able to see things through and through until the end. More importantly, Michael isn’t one to back down from a fight, even if the odds are stacked against him.
Family and friends are of the utmost importance to Michael. If you mean enough to Michael he will pull out all the stops to protect his loved ones. Through this, Michael is an extremely caring individual who will generally help out those in need. In being so generous and caring, Michael doesn’t like being lied to and generally holds little tolerance for liars. Although Michael prides himself in being heroic, when he is wronged he often becomes controlled and motivated by revenge and retribution.
Growing up, Michael was raised un-religiously by his parents. In his family, religion was more of a cultural aspect of their life, not an overbearing force that governed their lives. To this day, Michael adheres to this notion and lives life as he wishes. Through these teachings, Michael has found a particular distaste for religious extremists and finds them to be utterly obnoxious and fairly intolerable to be around. In conjunction, Michael holds a particular distaste for arrogance and finds it to be completely irritating.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Solar Energy Constructs AKA Solar Sculpting – the ability to manipulate solar energy into solid energy constructs through sheer will. With this ability, one is able to mentally manipulate the energy absorbed, into a variety of different objects like weapons or other simpler everyday objects. Also, through practice force field-like barriers can be created, although under duress they cannot be upheld long. Through practice, Michael will also be able to control the strength and constitution of his constructs. Although Michael can manipulate his energy to whichever color he desires (this includes the absence of color), he often chooses his energy to emanate a blue light.
Solar Absorption – Michael's special ability allows him to absorb solar energy wherever he finds it present. In doing so, Michael is able to absorb any present solar energy into his body. In doing so, Michael is able to take this energy and store it inside him. By doing so Michael is able to use the energy in a number of different ways. Through this, Michael is able to improve his many different aspects of himself. Michael is able to supplement his own intelligence, strength, and overall dexterity and vitality.
Limits-
Solar Energy Constructs - First and foremost, when using his ability Michael must hold a degree of concentration for his constructs to remain intact and be successful. Without this level of focus they simply dissipate into thin air. Additionally, Michael’s ability to formulate energy constructs is powered by Solar Energy, which he stores in his body. Thus, during the day Michael’s constructs are at their peak, and at night they are at their weakest. In the beginning Michael is able to create only simple objects like swords, boxing gloves, bats and bridges. However, over time Michael will be able to construct objects of increasing complexity like fully functioning guns. Michael is able to create more than one object at a time, although it does require much more focus and certainly adds strain. In addition, it is feasible for others to use a construct that Michael has created. However, if he does not want them to use the object, he simply has to will it to disappear. Most importantly, if Michael desires to create a complex object, he must understand how it works. For example, if he wishes to create a pistol, he must have prior knowledge to understand how guns operate.
Solar Absorption – The main limit to Michael's power is that he needs to be within the presence of solar energy. Without any access to solar energy, Michael's ability becomes relatively useless. In addition, Michael is limited by the fact that he must always be careful not to absorb too much energy altogether. If in fact, Michael absorbs too much, the energy could become relatively debilitating, causing Michael to lose control of his body and suffer drastic physical injuries.
[/color] Remembering what he was thinking that day was clearly important to understanding whatever this was. Michael distinctly remembered wanting to punch that idiot incredibly hard. He wanted to go at him like he used to when he briefly fought in the boxing ring. Closing his eyes, Michael thought about how good it felt being in the ring, bobbing and weaving, dancing around the opponent until the shot could be taken; then and only then was he able to unleash his fist.
Appearance-
Michael stands at about 5’11” with a fairly firm build that vividly epitomizes his days as a member of his high school baseball team. Michael has a fairly, fair complexion. However, Michael’s light skin tone is often combined with an almost blush cheek tone that adds even more color and life to his face. Michael has bright blue eyes and short blonde hair that is usually pushed in an upward fashion.
Michael has a faint, but noticeable, scar that runs the length of his right arm. Although usually clean-shaven, Michael has been known to keep a little scruff from time to time. In being kept clean-shaven Michael’s rigid cheek bones are accentuated and shone clearly. For the most part, Michael wears casual clothing and can usually be found wearing a nice pair of jeans and either a simple tee shirt or a buttoned down shirt.

History-
Michael Zyre was born in a small suburban town in Connecticut, an only child to Laura and Aaron Zyre. His father, a wealthy stock investor, provided the best of education to his only child beginning at birth and was certainly able to provide for his family. Growing up Michael excelled exquisitely in academics and in athletics as well, especially in regards to baseball and boxing, although his mother forced him to quit the latter over concern for his safety.
During his childhood Michael, grew extremely close to his parents eventually reaching a point when he felt as though he could confide within them about anything. As a child Michael became severely frightened of not only heights, but also small spaces. While his parents attempted to help him with these fears, their efforts were to no avail and have left him, to this day, nearly crippled with fear when confronted with such things.
As Michael left his teenage years behind he attended a college close to his home in Connecticut. Like most college students, Michael developed new habits while being away from the influence of his parents and began to smoke cigarettes. During the end of his time at college, Michael found himself at one of many different parties to celebrate the upcoming graduation. While enjoying himself at the party, Michael noticed a younger girl being harassed by one of his peers. Although he ignored the problem at first, he soon found his attention drawn back towards the now belligerent aggressor. Annoyed by the belligerence portrayed by the male student, Michael found himself focusing on his desire for it to end. Finally, Michael found himself moving towards the two until a flash of bright blue light erupted before his very eyes. Without blinking an eye, a bright blue boxing glove shot forth towards the male student knocking him into a nearby wall. As the crowd stared in disbelief, Michael slowly yet surely, made his way out of the area and back to his dormitory.
Frightened, confused, and simply in disbelief, Michael made his way home to his parents in order to sort things out. Although he wasn’t entirely sure he had caused the flash of blue light, he had a sneaking suspicion that he was responsible. After arriving home Michael explained his situation to his parents as best as he could. Although unsure at first, spoke positively on Michael’s situation. In living so close to home, Michael’s parents felt that they were holding him back. In an effort to promote his growth, they felt that it would be best for Michael to move out of his comfort zone and into a new environment where he would be on his own and able to explore whatever was happening to him on his own. From here on, Michael chose to move to New York City away from his home, a mere week after he had left school.
Sample RP-
Michael Zyre meandered the streets of New York City completely enthralled by the sheer size and grandeur of his new environment. The crispness of the air entered his nostrils slowly as the sun beat brightly in the sky above him. He truly was a stranger in a strange land, having only been to the city a few times before. On these visits Michael stayed within the grasp of someone else and let them lead the way, in an effort not to get lost within the seemingly endless maze of streets and avenues. However, now Michael was the one holding the reigns, which allowed him to go whichever way he pleased. Letting his feet take over, Michael wandered through Upper West Side of Manhattan passing through many different neighborhoods on his way.
Continuing onward, Michael began to wonder and think about the events that had seemingly occurred a lifetime ago, although it had only been a week. He wondered what exactly was happening to him and how he was actually able to create what appeared to be a blue boxing glove out of thin air. Wanting to explore this new sensation more, Michael stepped into one of the side alleys along the street. Eager to learn more, Michael quickly checked to see if he was alone in the alley, and when he was satisfied he leaned back against a nearby wall and began to think. Come on… think. How’d you make that boxing glove appear?
Suddenly, the air around Michael began to feel warmer, and even with his eyes closed he could see a brilliant blue light emanating from the space before him. Slowly, Michael opened his eyes to see a boxing glove, a pleasant shade of sapphire seemingly levitating in the air in front of him. Mesmerized by what had occurred, Michael became blind to his surroundings as he focused intently on what he had accomplished. “Awesome…” Before he could try anything else, Michael was interrupted by an abrupt rustling in a nearby pile of what he thought was trash. The boxing glove in front of Michael quickly dissipated into thin air, as he turned his attention towards the pile of trash, from which a portly homeless man had emerged. Frightened by Michael’s seemingly impossible feat, the homeless man rocketed away from the alley in an effort to escape unscathed. Fearing his secret would be jeopardized, Michael quickly shouted after the man. “Come back! That was just a magic trick! Nothing to be afraid of!” However, there was no response by the homeless man. Michael sincerely hoped no one would listen to the troll like person. Enlightened by this new experience, Michael began to understand that there was more to him than even he knew. Turning on his heel, Michael headed back to the main streets to continue on his walkabout through upper Manhattan.
