Full Name: Mike Stratos
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: April 7
Tainted? Nope
Ability: None
Beliefs: is a man who had seen it all in his line of work. There is almost nothing he never seen before or dealt with. That constant exposure to the dark side of the world has made him rather cynical and callous. There is little that he won’t believe since he seen so many things before, but for something as far fetched as people with powers… yea he would need to see it with his own eyes.

Eyes: Mike has eyes dark hazel eyes which seems to show both age and experience. Typically one doesn’t see his eyes for he wears sunglasses most of the time.
Hair: Mike has pretty normal hair. It’s black and of medium length for a male. Usually he combs his hair to the side. Mike always puts off getting haircut, but knows that he is going to need one soon.
Height: No looming tower here. Mike only stands at a mere five feet and nine inches.
Weight: His weight clocks in at about one hundred and fifty pounds.
Distinguishing Features: Perhaps the most distinguishing feature is that he wears sunglasses almost all the time. Mike doesn’t smoke, but he always chews gum as a means of stress relief. Another thing that you don’t see Mike without is without a gun somewhere on his body.
Other:
For clothing Mike usually wears a typical black suit with a tie and all when on or off duty. When undercover or walking the beat Mike usually dresses to blend in. There’s not much to say about the way he dresses since it is pretty normal. Mike has a pretty good build for a man his age: lean and muscular with plenty of scars from his line of work.

Place of Birth: New York
Family: Luke Stratos (father) and Maria Stratos (mother)
History:
Mike was bored in New York City without much luck. Mike came from a poor family and thus his life was a harsh one. Everyday the TV always blares about neighborhood shootouts, crimes, and gangs. Mike growing up was basically the typical troubled inner city kid. That meant he was on the wrong side of the law for most of his life: the poor side. Being in the inner cities it could not be considered crime anymore – it was survival. Mike Started out as a pickpocket, moved up car theft, and went so far as to join one of the gangs on his block. Mike was not a bad person at heart, but he did what he did to survive. Mike knows better then anyone how the gang mentality can take over and make you do things you regret. Mike did plenty of horrible things.

At age seventeen Mike was caught and charged with weapons possession. Mike was shipped off to a correction facility until the age of twenty-one. By that time Mike had plenty of time to think about his life. He was of course a minor at the time of the arrest so his record was cleared when he was released. It was a fresh start for him. His former gang members were mostly dead or jail now and he was left alone. Mike knew he did not have what he took to get into any decent school, but he couldn’t just remain in the city return to his old ways anymore.

Mike joined the military figuring that he did not have much to lose and they were not going to turn him down. Mike actually did very well in the military. It gave him much needed discipline, which he found to be almost life changing. It was almost as life changing as heading into a battle for the first time. It was dangerous, but Mike adapted well; life in the old neighborhood during gang wars were just as dangerous. Mike served in the regular military for about eight years then served in Special Forces for another five. Mike eventually grew tired of life in the military and resigned.

Mike came to Sanglignée France to live with his cousin who was a policeman there. Mike was eventually introduced to the force by his cousin and joined it. It was a ironic twist for him. He never thought he would be the very thing he evaded and hated so much as a teenager, but now he was a cop. Mike served several years on the force. He started out walking the beat like everyone else and made it up to dectective. Mike has his own apartment now and lives a modest life of a civil servant.

RP Sample:
It was hard for Daniel to remember how he lived life without having Vicky around. It wasn’t really living. Without Vicky everything was so monotone to Daniel and nothing mattered. Yes truly Daniel was head over heels for the girl if nothing and absolutely nothing mattered more then her. Call him silly and corny, but she was the air he breathed. Without her life was not worth living. That did not mean that Daniel would literally kill himself if something happened to her, but the serve depression that would follow might make anything plausible. Everything he did now was for her. Even him taking over the company was for her. She deserved a successful man (not that Daniel was not successful) and a man who could give her the world. So that was what he was doing before she came to school in his office: securing the world for her.

“Daniel listen to me. I understand that you’re probably still upset over the divorce and everything, but it’s not healthy for you to suddenly go running off with the first girl you see in France?” Daniel rolled his eyes at the voice of nagging step brother coming from the other side of the phone. Daniel was in his office with the phone glued to his ears. Daniel had a lot of things to play and a lot of strings to pull. After all he was going to plot a takeover a major corporation. Daniel was calling his step brother to discuss the liquidation, but so far things hadn’t gone very well on the negotiations. In fact most of this conversation had been about Daniel’s relationship with Vicky which his step brother had place as the origin for all this new behavior.


“The girl is only sixteen. What you are doing right now would be illegal in the United States. I’m surprise that the police haven’t been knocking on your door yet. She’s sixteen Daniel. She doesn’t know what love is about. It’s just some crush. The girl probably never had a dad or something so you’re the first male figure in her life and she thinks she loves you. Either that or this is her way of getting back at her daddy. Whatever Daniel.” He could hear that pause and the sigh from the other end. His stepbrother was so predictable sometimes. Now here come the finishing conclusion. “I know you think you love her, but I think it’s just a mid life crisis. Don’t throw yourself too deeply into this and don’t tear apart the family because of it. Take care Daniel.” There was a click and Daniel hung his end as well.

“Geeze.” Daniel mumbled to himself and spun himself around a few times while sitting totally slumped. He had one of those big fancy black leather chairs with wheels and it could turn around. It was one of those executive chairs people see so much in the movies. As his world spun around into a blur and then came to a slow stop his eyes caught the clock. Daniel was a bit surprised at the time. He did not realized how much time he spent talking to his stepbrother. It was past the time when Vicky came home. Normally Daniel was there to greet her with a kiss or something, but he lost himself in his work today. Well he was going to make up for it.

Daniel forced his tired body out of the comfortable chair and he headed out into the hall from his office. There was music. Vicky liked music and so did Daniel. What was this song? Daniel heard it before, but could not remember it’s title. He was sure it would come to him or he could simply ask Vicky. Speaking of Vicky as Daniel searched for her he found her in the kitchen. There she was: dancing around in shorts and a tank top which was quite a treat for Daniel since he liked her round tush and well endowed chest. Daniel just stood there and watch with a big o grin on his face. There was no reason at all for him to stop her from moving her body. Nope, no reason at all.

OK so I don’t know if you got the message in the CBox so here goes anway:

Its DATE of birth, not place.

Remove all drug references from your application please. And maybe read the FAQs.

Where is he living now?
If in San, how did he get there?

San doesn’t have a police force that would be as violent as to need a trigger-happy ex-militant, just so you know.

And when you finish, state so at the top of the thread. Thanks
