Sex: Male
Player: Leo
Home: Flat
Chron.: Birmingham by Night
Concept: Icarus meets Chip n Dale with a Dash of Big Brother on the Side
Nature: Gallant
Gallant [Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition -- Page 91]
Gallants are flamboyant souls, always seeking attention and the chance to be the brightest star. Gallants seek the company of others, if only to earn their adoration. Attention drives the Gallant, and the chase is often as important as its end. Nothing excites a Gallant so much as a new audience to woo. Performers, only children, and those with low self-esteem often embody the Gallant Archetype. Kindred Gallants may be Harpies, or they may have enormous herds of doting thralls. Regain a Willpower point whenever you successfully impress another person. Ultimately, the Storyteller is the arbiter of how much you dazzle someone, even in the case of other players' characters.
Demeanor: Dabbler
Dabbler [Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition -- Page 90]
The Dabbler is interested in everything but focuses on nothing. He flits from idea to idea, passion to passion, and project to project without actually finishing anything. Others may get swept up in the Dabbler's enthusiasm, and be left high and dry when he moves on to something else without warning. Most Dabblers have high Intelligence, Charisma, and Manipulation ratings, but not much in the way of Wits or Stamina. Toreador are often Dabblers, particularly those afflicted with the derisive sobriquet "Poseurs." Regain Willpower whenever you find a new enthusiasm and drop your old one completely.

Bio:
Michael was barely seven when his family landed on the coast of England . It was the wars that drove his family here and though his little sister had taken a dislike to the country and it's strange twists of streets and people , he liked it right off the bat. Michael seldom looked at things as an issue , instead he from the moment he had drawn his first breath had always found life to be fulfilling . He lived for the moment , for the thrill of discovery and rode it out till he could get nothing more out of it.
He would of course miss the rolling greenery of the home left behind but unlike his sister he saw this new land as a land of opportunity, not just for his future,but for his father as well. His sister however made sure to voice her oppinion quite openly despite the fact it was a silent one. Something that he didn't understand . That was the one difference between them , she was the one to cling to traditions and he , well he was the sort that embraced every opportunity as if it was his last.
Michael was born only 11 months ahead of her earning him the responsibility to take care of her. Why ? Simply because his mother didn't have the patience to deal with his sisters flaws. She had plans to make, people to entertain and sadly as a result it landed him and his sister oft times being left alone. It wasn't all bad though as from it grew a tight bond that even today held strong and true. He being the ever loving protective overbearing big brother who even chose to live with his sweet baby sister. Or at least that is how he perceived it to be , he was doing her a favor by staying with her , protecting her interests and honor ,but in actuality , he was the black sheep of the family.
It was here in Birmingham where they had decided to settle ,for Arlana the schooling having the courses that she wanted and for him , the night life and money had called his name.
While Lana was tending to various jobs he danced for a living ,thus pushing him further into the shadowed side of his family. His parents hated his lack of commitment , feeling he would be better off tending to school as his sister had done. Where did it get her really ? All this education that everyone had put such emphasis on ? It got her waiting tables and mingling in the affairs of things that he was sure would cost her ,her life at some point . No, he would continue to live each moment as if it was his last , letting tomorrow worry about itself and holding no regrets .
