Mikhail Torre

Personal Information

Mikhail as a Mortal grew up with a well off family for most of his life until he got heavily into Gay activist rights at 15, due to this his parents kicked him out and he was forced to live on the streets. Being quite a well looking boy and in need of money and a place to stay he began to illegally sell his body at night clubs to men which in the end caused him to be infected with HIV. Hearing some rumours that there was a cure to his illness and having it becoming more severe Mikhail went in search of the cure off every lead he could find. In the end he ended up finding his Sire who at first refused to help him, despite this he stuck around to get to know her more and in the end was offered a way out, Mikhail took this offer and was Embraced. After leaning everything from his Sire Mikhail attempted to return to Adelaide but decided heavily against it due to the amount of people who knew him still being alive and instead moved far out to Gawler, 16 years later he decided it was time to return to Adelaide to once more become apart of something. Going on nothing but a few words gathered by Kendrick Tyger He entered his first day of Court.

Appearance

Standing at 5'7" (172cm) Mikhail isn't very tall but isn't small enough to be considered short either, He looks to be around 24, 25 depending on if he has made himself look appealing or not and is a very light 65kg. His hair is medium brunette in colour and comes down just past his ears, curling outwards if it has been raining. If one were to look closer they would notice the unique icey blue eyes which Mikhail finds to be one of his favourite traits. His attire consists of clothing you'd normally have found worn in the 1990's a pair of Navy blue jeans always worn as well as a Denim shirt over some kind of button up or regular t-shirt. Sometimes he can be found wearing a Leather coat but will never be seen without his Arrow-head Necklace.

Will often be seen wearing Emerald contacts and a blonde wig, these are very convincing

Personality

Mikhail on first meetings will either come off as someone you enjoy to be around or someone you enjoy to hate, it all depends on how you view his lighter side of life. He loves to make those around him laugh and will always use his words to do so, so long as the situation permits it. He will always be kind to those he deems friends and will give off his silver tongue answers if you are not. Saying this Mikhail's words are one of his best and worst talents as he never quite knows when to stop using them however when a situation seems dire he always knows what to say to pull himself out of a great hole. Mikhail is also one who loves Equality of all forms and strong heartedly believes that Kine and Kindred are one and the same on the social level but deems it unwise to reveal these feelings to just anyone knowing how kindred society views such things.

Mortal World

The Mortal world sees Mikhail as Danny Wells, he is high on Adelaide's Wanted list for Gun theft and evading Arrest
