Age: 25
Age apparent: mid 20's
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation: Criminal Psychologist
Languages: English
Species: Human
Powers:
Mediumship - His power manifests without his control.  He can see and commune with spirits around him but cannot make them leave him alone.  His abilities have started to become a burden
as it feels like the spirits are trying to take over his body.  He doesn't know why they are, but he knows if he loses he may not be himself ever again.  He tries to help those that come to him but
sometimes he can't and he needs to find a way to shut them out if necessary.

Telekenesis - So far it isn't really much to speak of.  He has noticed that he can move some things before his hand reaches them but he isn't really sure if what he sees is real or his imagination.
He's tried to take control of his power but it's still hit or miss.  He hopes that he can find help in mastering his ability and to control it before it ends up hurting someone.

Telepathy - Much like his Telekenesis it isn't something he can consciously control.  He mainly just hears things when his emotions are running high or when he is stressed or hurt.  He can't
really turn it on or off but it just kinda just works like a radio passing in and out of reception range.

Overall Appearance: Mike stands a little taller than average and has a lean muscular build.  He has dark brown hair and his eyes flash an emerald green in the sunlight but are normally a darker
more subdued color.  He usually dresses in a suit and tie for his 9-5 but once out of work is usually in jeans and a t-shirt, unless the occasion calls for something a little more dressy.  He keeps
his hair cut to a medium length with a little bit of gel for styling.  As far as facial hair he usually keeps clean shaven or a little bit of scruff if he's feeling lazy but has taken to wearing a beard
as of late.  He is usually pretty laid back, throwing around a little sarcasm here and there, but usually has a good sense of humor.  If you get close to him you'll smell his signature Old Spice
aftershave, a staple of his father that he adopted for himself.

Basic Personality: A little sarcastic but has a good sense of humor.  He doesn't seem to take things seriously at first, but after you get to know him you know that he is just relaxed in his
outlook on life.  He's a little of a practical joker around his friends but usually won't mess with someone he just met.  Those who know him well can tell you he doesn't really get angry,
and for that matter he almost seems middle of the road when it comes to all emotions with very few peaks and valleys.

History:

 Mike was born to loving parents in July of 1989 in Lansing Michigan.  He grew up with a mostly normal childhood until he was 14.  His parents were killed in a car-jacking by a repeat offender of
violent crimes.  The man was able to get off on the charges by faking insanity.  Mike was devastated by his parents death.  He fell into a depression that lasted most of his freshman and
sophomore years at high school and involved many different therapists.  After therapy and many rounds of anti depressants he crawled out of the hole he was in and started to rejoin society so
to speak.  He did his best to pull up his grades which had suffered during his grief.    His older sister looked after him until he was 17, and began to start feeling resentment at not having a
normal high school experience having to take care of him.  He left home at 17 after he and his sister's relationship became strained due to the many arguments and her feelings of resentment.
He bounced around his friends houses until graduation day.

 His grades were good enough to get him into Stanford University in California he took all his worldly possessions and the one thing his father left him, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible.
While he was there he started in their Law program but after a time he felt he wouldn't be able to complete the course.  After meeting with several advisors he got to know his Psych professor
quite well and started looking for other opportunities in Law not necessarily being a lawyer.  Seeing the way that Criminal Psychologists help convict those trying to bypass the legal system he
changed his major.

 He threw himself into his studies with a renewed sense of vigor and dedication.  He started several case studies for his new major and one of them was an entry level study of Vampires
and their psyche.  He got his first taste of the underworld by speaking with several Vampires and asking about their memories, motivations, feelings, and basic drive.  He had to deal with them
for their time, blood for answers was the usual price.  With his work on the Vampire Psyche he graduated with a degree in Psychology and got to work for the District Attorney's office as a
Criminal Psychologist/Behavioral Analyst with a specialty in Vampires.

 He tried to reconnect with his sister but the hatred she had held for him in the past only amplified when she heard of his success.  He tried to visit her in Wisconsin but when she opened the
door she told him she hated him and never to contact her again.  She shut the door in his face and never so much as called him again.  Feeling his family completely leave him he steeled himself
for a lonely existence for the time being, until he met someone anyway.

 He left to work with the FBI and other federal organizations to assist is solving some of the most heinous and deplorable crimes he'd ever imagined.  Those would become normal after his
experience with his first Vampire crime.  The crime scene was the most gruesome of his career thus far.  During his investigation of the subject he learned that all his credentials didn't mean
much in the world of the undead.  He knew he needed to update and upgrade his knowledge of Vampires.  To do this he felt he needed to know the more baser instincts of the creatures.  He
sought out Vampires to learn more about their psychology and motives for crime.

 This exposure to the world of Vampires slowly built up as he sought them out for study.  After meeting Sharise, a particularly dominant Vampire, he learned more than he ever thought he would.
She became more than an information source quickly.  After spending some time with her she began to feed on him.  He was surprised by how it made him feel, how much he wanted to be fed
on.  He lost himself in those moments with her, becoming more than a case study in the Vampire Psyche and almost a relationship.  One sided as it was he began to develop what he thought
were feelings for her, but he would soon learn that it wasn't her that he desired.  Fearing ridicule from friends and coworkers he hid his actions and feelings down deep.  He continued to see
Sharise behind everyone's back and enjoyed her almost as much as he enjoyed her feeding on him.  They almost started to have a relationship of sorts.  They would meet for dinner and a
movie, sometimes things would escalate to feeding and sex, sometimes not.  Sometimes he felt himself lusting after the feeling of her fangs penetrating him and he would know that he should
see her.

 After being with her for a few months he noticed similarities in her feeding patterns with those of the most recent case.  Her description matched the suspect to the letter but he couldn't bring
himself to turn her in at first.  He thought he loved her, not the feeding.  One night when he came to call on her to offer his blood he found her with another Vampire.  They both fed from him
that evening and the feeling of a relationship or any exclusivity left him forever and he started to see himself a walking talking steak to her, but he still wanted her.  He decided to make the
right decision, weeks after he knew but he still made it.  She fled capture, never knowing his involvement, and he didn't feel fulfilled.  He began to seek out Vampires to let them feed on him.

 These days he tries to keep it purely physical, not allowing himself to get emotionally attached to them anymore seeing as they don't need the attachment either.  He prefers women over men
but won't say no either way, though he only wants to get physical with the females.  His work performance is still top notch, having found a way to keep his two lives separate and maintaining
strict discipline in the feeding and sex when it comes to work interference.  He learned much of the Vampires driving force through his personal life.  There is only one, Blood.  A Vampire will
often couple sex with blood but the blood is what she needs not the other way around.

 One night while on his way to meet one, he thought he saw a ghost on his way to her.  The man told him things that no one could possibly know about cases he was working on.  It freaked him
out but almost as suddenly he disappeared.  Shaking the feeling that someone was following him he went to his appointment.  During the feeding he became aware of a presence in the room.  A
woman appeared and warned him of the Vampire's intention to drain him.  While the Vampire was drinking he could hear his voice inside his head, thinking about how to hide the body.  When
he tried to stop the feeding it attacked him.  At least until things started flying off the walls, with the Vampire distracted he ran for his life.  Not sure of how to continue but still needing the
feeling of the bite he couldn't quit.

 He has begun to take precautions for the feedings carrying a firearm with silver bullets and meeting in populated places, never his residence.  Even with the problems the Vampires have been
responsible for he cannot leave the need behind.  His precautions have made him feel better but there are things that still make him nervous.  When he's alone he can feel people in the room,
almost like they are behind him.  Sometimes things move before he can touch them, little things like his pack of cigarettes or a lighter.  Scared he was given some advice by one of his ghosts.
He sought out someone who could help him with his newfound abilities.  He has begun to gain a little control of the interactions with the spirits but has found that they have been getting more
and more aggressive almost trying to take hold of him.

 He can feel them trying to take hold and knows that he needs to find someone who has experience with this or he may lose himself.  Seeking out a well known Medium he traveled to Marquette
to speak with her.  He arrives in town looking for her, not knowing her name or where she is his search begins.  He still drives his dad's car, his prized possession, everywhere and it's his only
luxury.  He wants to master his spirit interactions so he can control them not the other way around.  Hopefully he can learn more about the voices he heard and how to control it.  He also still
craves the Vampires kiss, though it may be his end....
