History:

"Wow. That must've been awful. Do you want to hear how I came here? Both of my parents abused me. One day, they got sick of me and threw me out of a moving car."

Personality:

By the age of eight, Mika was already fairly grown up. After literally being thrown away by his own family, he found a new one in the other kids at the orphanage. Being the eldest, he took responsibility for their well-being as their big brother and attempted to keep them a happy little family. He always tried to smile and be cheerful, even when he roughed up the grumpy new kid, Yuuichiro. Things changed when their adult caretaker was hit by the virus and the children were taken in by the vampires as livestock. Mika still did his best to take of his family, which included selling his blood for good food every now and then. While he was that cheerful kid, he also had an unruly sibling to look after and keep safe from his own loud mouth. Four years of this lifestyle did change him a little and placed the care of their family almost squarely on his shoulders, he did rely on Yuu and Akane to help out. He was very aware of the fact that they couldn't defeat the vampires so instead of thinking about fighting them like Yuu did - Mika wanted to escape to the surface even if there wasn't anyone there. His childhood shows that Mika is the type of person who attempts to take on everything by himself for the most part. From the well-being of the other in his family to their deaths, it's a weight that's always been carried on his shoulders. When they were alive and well, things were so much better and Mika had dreams for their future together. He waited patiently for the right moment for them to get to the surface for their sake and encouraged Yuu to one day fight the vampires that he hated so much. Their death was a huge part of the reason that Mika has lost that cheerful nature and his smile. He blames himself for not being strong enough to protect them and was willing to give his own life to make sure that Yuu escaped. For his family, Mika would shoulder any burden alone if he could and has never once blamed Yuu for leaving him behind like he demanded. He was much happier with the fact that Yuu had said they were family for the first time than being sad about his own death. There is literally nothing that he wouldn't do for the last member of the Hyakuya orphanage and Yuu is the only person he cares for at all. When given the opportunity between being saved by becoming a vampire and dying, Mika chose death. He would have rather been dead than a vampire that Yuu hated so much. Unfortunately, the choice wasn't really left to him and in the end he was forced to live as a monster. Despite that fact, he has constantly made the choice since then to not drink human blood. Being livestock for four years and Yuu's feelings had a great impact that decision. Instead he's chosen to drink the blood of his creator and has been able to pull himself back from attacking a child when in the middle of his blood lust. Another part of the reason is because he's often reminded of that day when he lost his family and Mika is often reminded of his siblings when he looks at them. Sometimes he looks down at them and sees a kid who is stubborn and determined like Yuu or another who's kind and motherly like Akane and it's impossible for him to even think of drinking. While it's true that he only cares about Yuu in the great wide world, he does have a soft spot towards children. Whether they live in the underground city of the vampires or on the surface makes little difference. Children are children no matter where they live and he may not go out of his way to protect them, he doesn't do anything to harm either. Vampires may be forbidden to drink blood straight from the source in the underground and free to do whatever they please on the surface but Mika doesn't play that way. If there is a kid who reminds him of someone in his family, he might help them out a little but honestly Mika despises both humans and vampires alike. His reasons for hating vampires is easy considering all that he's suffered through at their hands. They're vile creatures who see humans as nothing more than livestock and will kill them if they feel the urge to. Vampires play with their food and have no hesitation when it comes to taking whatever their whims may be. Once upon a time, Mika might have liked humans. The treatment given to him by his own parents might have turned into an anti-social child but instead he gathered the other orphans around him like family. It wasn't difficult to relate to others that had been cast aside and so Mika wanted to protect them. Since he was reintroduced to the human race, Mika doesn't want anything to do with them. He was willing to let Yuu's team die if it meant that they two of them could just disappear. It's his belief that humans are only using his friend and because of that it grew nothing but mistrust and hatred in his heart. That's why he was so surprised when he saw a group of humans who sacrificed themselves rather than give up their allies. Who knows what kind of information he's been fed about humans during the last four years but he will even outright state that he hates them as much as he hates vampires. Mika is very aware that the adults of the Hyakuya orphanage experimented on him and the other children and some of his feelings come from this. People he trusted that betrayed him. Added to his parents' behavior, it was enough for Mika to not come to give his trust so easily. He considers their loyalty to die for each other rather terrifying despite the fact that - four years earlier - Mika had been ready to die for Yuu's sake. Of course, his hatred for vampires also means that Mika hates what he is. For all of the benefits being a vampire has granted him, he despises himself. Accepting what he is is difficult for him and probably won't be something he will ever be able to do. Rather than live for himself, Mika is living for Yuu. He's spent the last four years searching for his friend and intends to rescue him from tainted human hands. If it were up to him, the two of them would run far away from both humans and vampires. Despite his feelings towards the humans Mika does take a blow meant for one of them. The only reason for this is because he was trying to protect Yuu from being hurt. It was his intent only to prevent Yuu from killing someone that he might consider a friend - to prevent Yuu from carrying the weight of that death. Mika has gone from that cheerful, friendly kid to a quiet loner who prefers to spend his time brooding over old memories than in the company of others. It isn't unusual to find him lingering in the place where his family died and getting him to talk is near-impossible. The only individuals he does talk to at length are his creator, Krul, and the vampire who killed his family, Ferid. There is some level of trust when it comes to dealing with Krul. Mika trusts her to the point that she'll keep him alive and give him blood while helping him to capture Yuu - even if it's for her own purposes. As for Ferid, he has no trust for the vampire but isn't able to kill either. The vampire forces his presence on Mika and so Mika tolerates him to a point. Out of everyone, only Krul and Ferid know about the Seraph gene that both he and Yuu possess. To Ferid, Mika is nothing more than a toy to play with and a tool to use. There are two other vampires that he's usually around - Lacus and René. Lacus often tries to involve Mika in conversations but is usually ignored. It's how he treats pretty much everyone unless he has ulterior motives. There is one aspect of Mika that has stayed the same and that's his intelligence. As a child, he plotted their escape by allowing Ferid to drink his blood so that he could search his place for a map. On top of getting a map, he also got a gun to protect them. While he failed to see that it was a trap, Mika knew that they couldn't take the vampires straight on. They had to sneak out if they wanted to escape their life. Being only eight when he was taken as livestock means that Mika didn't have much of an education but he does know how to read, write and some other basic things. Still, he has a fairly strategic mind for someone with his background. It doesn't always compare to those who are older but he does pretty well thinking a few steps ahead and also thinking on his feet. He's also fairly patient. Mika waited four years before attempting his escape from the vampires and planned carefully while gathering information about their foe. Then he proceeded to wait another four years to learn of news about Yuu. However, once his goal is right in front of him - Mika does tend to forget to exercise patience. He got his hands on the map and they left that night. Yuu was right in front of him and Mika tried to run off with him. Even his best laid plans start to fall apart when he loses his patience. His over-eagerness tends to get the better of him and usually ends up being his downfall. It's difficult for him to see anything once his goal is within his reach. Unlike some of the others in the series, Mika doesn’t seem to kill or even enjoy it. He doesn’t do it for the glory or pleasure that other vampires do. To him, killing horsemen is just a task that he’s been given and so he does it. Other people can take credit for it – they can have the glory if they want it. They also enjoy killing humans but not Mika. Part of the reason is because he knows what it’s like be a human up against the stronger species. He doesn’t look down on them like they’re as insignificant as an animal raised to be eaten and takes no pleasure in killing them. In fact, Mika even tried to let one of the members of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army escape with her life in return for the information she gave him about Yuu. Unfortunately, he was forced to take her life in order to protect his worthless one. On the other side of that, he does find some enjoyment in killing vampires and will do so without any hesitation at all. Mika might even do it with a little smile. If anyone of any species threatens Yuu, he becomes very dangerous. Despite the fact that he has yet to kill Ferid in revenge, Mika would wipe him out in a heartbeat just for talking about the other teen. He also tried his best to kill Guren when faced against the man, especially after learning of his connection to Yuu. All-in-all, Mika isn’t likely to show his emotions much these days. On the outside, he appears to be fairly neutral towards nearly everything unless it happens to involve Yuu in some way. Even he makes note of the fact that he hasn’t cried in years after Mika is given the opportunity to see Yuu again. During his battle with Guren, he pretty much remains impassive until the only person he cares about shows up. Seeing Yuu again makes all of his old emotions resurface almost as if they’ve been frozen since becoming a vampire. To others, his detached nature might even make them believe him to be arrogant even though that’s so far from the truth. He simply doesn’t care about his own well-being at all beyond the fact that now he’s strong enough to protect the one person he cares about in the world. Mika can’t die until he’s saved Yuu and that’s all there is to his life.

Abilities:

Vampire: It's said in canon that vampires have seven times the strength of humans which means that he's incredibly strong. He can also use that strength to make himself extremely fast as well. Mika is extremely durable, capable of taking all kinds of hits from regular attacks with ease and has regenerative powers. As a human, he lost his right arm at the shoulder and before he could die, was turned into a vampire and the limb was reattached While he isn't capable of regrowing limbs, he can reattach it as long as he has it. Most wounds would heal almost instantly unless it was done by some kind of anti-vampire weapon, even injuries to his head. In canon, these anti-vampire weapons contain demons but I'd be open to weapons from other canons working so long as they worked against vampires. Unlike other vampires in his world, Mika doesn't drink human blood which means that he hasn't completed his transformation into a full vampire. He will still age and isn't nearly as strong as he should be. For four years, he was drinking the blood of his creator and it was fine but recently her blood has started to become ineffective and so he has to drink it more frequently. Mika is incapable of surviving under the sun's rays unless he has a certain object in the form of an armband. Sword: While it should be noted that he's very capable with a sword, Mika's sword in particular is special. It's capable of drinking his blood and sprouts red vines that wrap around his hand, while the blade itself turns red. The more blood it drinks, the more enhanced his strength is. Seraph: On top of being a vampire, Mika carries the gene of something called a Seraph. As of yet, he has yet to show any abilities pertaining to this. There will be more added to this section as it comes up in canon but for now, he won't be able to do anything.

Third Person Sample:

As was per usual, Mika found his thoughts wandering back to the only person in his life who mattered to him anymore. His mind always did when he was alone and an empty classroom in the middle of the night was about as alone as he could get in this place. Most of the individuals who remained after the sun went down appeared to be people like him - those taken from various worlds and dropped here. There was plenty of other things that he could be thinking about but none of it mattered much to him. Ending up here was nothing but a hindrance to his plan. Mika moved away from the door and closer to the window. He didn't bother attempting to look out and instead sat himself down on one of the desks and leaned his back against the glass. It was cool even through the layers of his uniform and he had to mentally remind himself not to sit there all night or he might catch a cold. Without his vampiric powers, Mika would be vulnerable to such things now. The very thought of that caused him to bend until his forehead almost touched his knees as he laughed. Years ago he would have rather died then be a vampire - the vampires that Yuu hated so much. Now he wasn't and Mika didn't have the strength to protect his friend. They didn't have anywhere to run to. Both of them were trapped - among a hoard of humans, without a weapon or real abilities. It almost seemed as if they had gone back to being nothing but weak, children ready for the slaughter - except they were no longer innocent. He unfolded himself a little, just enough to bring one heel up to rest on the edge of the desk and let his head rest on his knee. With his eyes closed, it was the closest he had come to resting since waking up in a classroom. Mika didn't trust the others enough to let his guard down to sleep. "I hate this. Surrounded by nothing but humans who are ready to betray us at any moment." Part of Mika was very aware that not all of them might have been human before arriving here but they were now. All of them were human. None of them could see this side of him, he had to be immovable around the humans. Only Yuu was allowed to see all of the pieces of him that had been locked away over the last four years. At the sound of the door opening, his head jerked up and Mika leveled a glare at the intruder. The older man was grumbling nonsense to himself and pushing around a large trashcan on wheels. He didn't seem to notice Mika's presence until he made it to the teacher's desk and he stopped then, eyes staring at the teen. "Go away, I have to clean in here." The blond didn't move from his spot at all. He'd found a place that was finally empty and he wasn't about lose that just because someone had to clean up. When the janitor realized this, he made a shooing motion with his hand but Mika still refused to budge. "Clean around me if you must but I won't move," Mika retorted back. In response, the janitor tsked and Mika heard the words 'impertinent brats' mixed in with the rest of his mumbling. It certainly didn't change Mika's mind about humans at all. Actually, it made him watch with suspicious eyes as the janitor proceeded to empty the trash and move about the room. Since he actually didn't attempt to hinder the man with his job, Mika was allowed to stay and watch his actions. He didn't know if this would be of any importance but it might be down the line. Besides, if anyone had the keys to the locked doors - it would be this man. Finally the man left and Mika allowed himself to relax just a little. He sighed and looked towards the window. "That's going to be annoying. How am I supposed to get any sleep if he comes around every night?" Another issue he would have solve somehow. Preferably sooner rather than later since he would need sleep at some point.
