Michael Balibar

Michael Balibar

Micheal Balibar is the second member of team IBRG. tough and serious at times. It is easy to get him angry, and a raging Michael is only good if he is fighting Grimm. But as a friend you want Michael on your side.

Appearance.
Micheal is twenty five year old man with curly brown hair, white eyes and tough bulky physique. He wears a brown fleece vest over a red long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled and fading blue jeans with white converse. He wears a sheathe on his back for his sword. His emblem, a bear paw print, is tattooed on the inside of his arm.

Personality
Micheal is stern, full of rage he tries to keep under control. He is usually quiet, only speaks in short sentences, often blunt and to the point. He is honest, often to a fault. While he can be angry most of the time, he is loyal to his friends and family, and will die if has to. He is tough, not fearing anything and always ready to meet a challenge head on.

Micheal is an outdoorsman, prefering nature to the crowded sstreets. He is almost happy there. Almost.

Weapons.
Edged Gaze is Micheal's sword, a HPLES (high powered laser Emitting Sword) which inherited from his mother. This five foot blood red claymore is made from diamond, hard hitting and heavy. The blade splits into a prong when the laser fires, a high powered red beam that can melt steel in seconds, from machinery in the hilt. MMichael fights head on, giving no thoughts to defense, only attacking hard enough and strong enough to over whelm his foes in single strikes. Most don't last against something with the power of a Kodiak Bear behind it. The Edged Gaze is sharp as its laser, able to slice through stone and hard armor.

Abilities.
Michael will always attack first, cleaving his way through foes in order to utterly destroy them. His semblance reflects that. His semblance is simiars to Marvel's Juggernaut, once enraged or injured, his semblance activates, reducing his ability to feel pain, and increasing his strength. He becomes so focused on destruction that he leaves a path of destruction in his wake.

History.
Michael doesn't like to talk about his past. He prefers to forget it all together.

His mother Goldilock "Goldy" Balibar was a huntress. Despite being a single parent, she did her best for her young son. They moved out of Vale and into the country side. She wanted to be closer to Michael father's home. Michael grew up in the woods, loving nature and outdoors

despite the warning of Grimm attacks in the area, Goldy believed she could protect them both. But then tragedy struck in the form of a massive Grimm attack, drawn to the energies of a recent criminal gang war near by. A horde attacked the small cottage. Goldy attacked in vengeance with Edged Gaze, bit the Grimm were too many. After sustaining more injuries than should be possible, she activated her temporary healing semblance, picked up Michael and ran. Eventually, after a long night, they reached Vale. But her semblance wore off, and eventually passed away from her wounds, leaving Michael an orphan and only her sword.

Michael alowlu turned angry towards the world after this. Taken into foster care, Michael geared himself to fighting, brawling with the other kids, even picking fights with older teens. Eventually his foster parents grew tired of his aggressive nature and sent him off to Signal where he could hone his skills.

The teachers there helped him direct his anger and abilities towards Grimm and focus on his studies. Eventually he graduated and enrolled at Beacon where he met his team IBRG and the first friends he would ever had, JefferyTIrving,hRayeDar,y ndgGavinrKnightwood.aduated Beacon, and still go on missions together. Michael slowly is reconnecting to his past, revisiting his childhood home and trying to fix it up. He won't live there. He just need something to past the time and get his mind off his anger.
