Michael Flynn - Heroic Academy Profile

Published:
639 Views

Description

Update:  Added his new friends, sweetheart, hero name, roommate, and an example of his voice.

Here is the application for one of my three characters to this wonderful group!  :iconheroic-academy:  It's a bit like Hogwarts or something but for super heroes and villains.

Name: Michael Damian Flynn AKA "Specter"

Age: 17

Orientation: He’s not 100% sure.  Due to being a bit shy at times and being a bit of a nerd, he’s never been in a relationship before.  He thinks he might be gay.  People have called him that all his life anyway.  Right now he isn’t too concerned about it one way or the other.  He just wants to do well in school and learn to control his powers.

Hero or Villain: Hero

Appearance: You can see what he looks like in the picture above so I'll just let you know about his outfits.  The first one is his favorite casual clothes that he wears when not in school.  The second outfit is his school uniform.  The third one is his formal outfit.  He looks anxious because he's never been to a dance or any sort of really formal occasion.  Some things to note that are different from the doll maker is that he is very tall and very thin.  His face is supposed to be rather "child-like" and he is occasionally described as looking like a "doll".  So obviously the picture above is far too muscled and masculine.  I'll include a more accurate picture of him down on the bottom.

Voice: 
So far Billy Boyd's voice is the closest thing I've been able to find that resembles Michael's voice though unfortunately Billy is Scottish rather than Irish like Michael.  Still he's got the high, youthful voice with at least a European accent.  Just use your imaginations a bit until I find a real Irishman.  Watch Funny Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortensen Video Here but start at 1:04 to save yourself just a little time.  Billy is also the closest thing I've found that resembles Michael's singing voice.  Michael can hit a few even higher notes, having once been a boy soprano.

Powers/Abilities: Sees and communicates with ghosts (I'll be making some up as we go along.  Anyone else is free to create a ghost for Michael to talk to as well.  That would make it even more interesting), as well as phasing or "ghosting" through walls.

Personality: Michael’s personality mainly comes across in two ways, his perpetual laughter and his sweet good nature.  He is often told that he is too nice for his own good or that he is too perfect, but he is quick to confess that he isn’t perfect.  He gets angry and has his flaws just like anyone else.  In fact here are a few. 
    It takes a bit to get him mad but when he is that “Irish temper” takes hold.  This means that he can have a bit of an acid tongue when he is really angry.  Still the actual “spell” of anger usually doesn’t last long and it’s rare that he is even mad enough to hold a grudge but when he does, look out!  He is a bit naïve and immature for his age.  He is rather gullible as well.  Michael also struggles with wavering self-confidence. He isn’t always as happy as he pretends to be.
    Of course Michael has his strengths too.  He has a very giving nature and is willing to sacrifice everything for those he cares about.  He is very honest, so much so that people always tell him that he’s a terrible liar if he does try.  He is quite humble about his talents.  He is just a sweet and pleasant person in general even with his faults.

Hobbies: He's a good dancer, particularly enjoying the traditional dances of Ireland, his home country.  He also loves to sing.  He has a very good voice.  He was a boy soprano in church choir and still sings with a lovely tenor as I mentioned above.  He's interested in art and is a fairly decent amateur painter.  He just likes to learn. He is good with horses and a gifted rider.  He is what one might call a "renaissance man" and yet he never sees it.  He is quite humble about his talents however. 

Dislikes: Bullies, liars, cheats, frauds, so called “psychics” and “mediums” who give the genuine ones a bad name by lying and cheating people just to make money, rap, mayonnaise, the surprise of seeing or hearing a ghost out of the blue, garlic, being alone a lot and feeling kind of like a freak

Roommate:  Ezra Perri [x] [x]

Best Friend(s): Aria Tyler Rael Kess, Mr. Adam Sterling, Sapphire-Roz 's Scarlett Johnson and Bennett Clark, Sonicgirl141 's Rosabel Lilyway, Sonicgirl141 's Scott Murdock, Sonicgirl141 's Jade Summers, and he wants to make friends with Jamie Lee Lewis but he's still somewhat suspicious of her and reputed psychic powers (Michael's met far too many frauds and has come to believe that he might be the only genuine "psychic" around.  Besides he only talks to ghosts.  Is it possible to see the future or see what's happening some place far away like Jamie claims to do?)

Significant Other:Princess-Icicles 's Xavier Collins

Fun Fact: Michael is occasionally called “Scarecrow” because of his thin body and long limbs.  He’s never quite sure if he likes it or not.

Backstory: Michael is the third of six children born to Sean and Rebecca Flynn.  He grew up on a farm in the Irish countryside.  Everyone worked hard to help support the family, even down to the youngest child.  (John is the eldest at 21, then James who is 19, Michael is next at 17, Carrie is the only girl and she is 11, and Christian is the youngest at 9.)  The two older boys were in college but came home when they could so they helped some and the younger two helped a bit when they could but they were still awfully young so mainly it was Michael’s job to help his father with the farm.
    They were a very religious household.  They were in church every Sunday come rain or come shine.  Michael was a member of the choir since he was a very small boy.  It was always one of his greatest pleasures.  One of his greatest not so holy pleasures was hanging around the local pub with his mates.  He didn’t drink like some of the others did.  He just loved to dance and sing along with the various musicians that performed there.
  Despite this normal and pleasant upbringing, there was always something peculiar about Michael.  Ever since he was a child he’d experienced things that he couldn’t explain and neither could the few people he’d dared to tell about it.  He seemed to be able to see, hear, and otherwise sense things that no one else was even aware of.  Some of the things he experienced were frightening and some just terribly sad, but always he had to struggle through them alone.  If he did speak of it people thought he was crazy so after a while he just quit talking about it altogether.  It was quite a strain on him.

    One day Michael stumbled across an article in an American magazine that someone had posted on a website he frequented.  It was about psychic-mediums and whether or not they were hoaxers preying on the gullible and the families of those who had died.  It was written with a slightly skeptical tone but it seemed that the author had no other explanation for what a rare few are able to do.
    Suddenly it all made sense.  Michael had heard the word psychic thrown around before but he’d never really given it much thought.  The people closest to him had seemed to think him crazy and his parents had even tried to put him into therapy during high school.  He’d always just figured that they were right.  Maybe he was a little bit mad or maybe his senses just played tricks on him more frequently than others.  Perhaps he had an overactive imagination.  He didn’t really have an explanation but the fact that he could be a psychic had never really occurred to him.  It wasn’t the sort of thing his religious background had allowed him to entertain in the first place.  Ghosts weren’t supposed to exist and if they did they could only be demons toying with naive or blasphemous humans.  Yet, here it was in black and white, descriptions of what the author referred to as “possibly true” psychics and what they could do.  It all sounded an awful lot like him.
   Then there was also the matter of his being able to “ghost” through solid objects.  He’d discovered this, like many superheroes seem to, during puberty.  One night he was lying in bed asleep when suddenly his body began to tingle all over and then somehow fell through the bed and the floor, dropping him into the room below, and breaking both an arm and a leg as well as terrifying and confusing the teen. 
It is now several years later and he still can’t control it with any accuracy which is what finally convinced his parents to enroll him in the Heroic Academy.  They still refuse to acknowledge their son’s other curse however.  He’s been instructed not to speak to anyone at school about it.  Being a dreadful liar, Michael eventually caved in and told his teachers but not a single student, not even the girl who’s become his best friend, Aria Tyler.

His Symbol: Boo!
