personality
& phobias
1. Being poor - Don't really think that there is a scientific name for this one; but it's true. Michael hates the thought of becoming poor and penniless since he's lived the majority of his life in the luxury of money.
2. Commitment - Because Michael is living in the fast lane he doesn't want to settle down. Settling down would mean no more parties and ladies. Just one single lady would drive him nuts. He will do anything possible to get out of a relationship.
3. Working - Again, because Michael has lived the majority of his life in luxury, the thought of actually working to make himself better off just isn't a great thought.
& the good
1. When truly settled down, and around people he's comfortable with, Michael isn't a douche bag. He opens up, and is actually quite sincere.
2. He means well, honestly he does. When he acts like a jackass he doesn't really mean it. He just likes people to know their place.
3. Michael has been playing football since he was young. It comes naturally to him and is probably his only way to get involved with other people.
4. Brutally Honest - Michael is a not a joke and if you are, he will be sure to let you know that he thinks you are a complete idiot or whatever other words fall into this category.
& the ugly
1. A dog - Michael is one of those hit it and quit kind of guys. Parties are his game and he'll find one girl to get with and then that's it. After that, he's done and moves on to find another.
2. A Douche bag - He likes to let people know where they belong in his life. If Michael doesn't like you, he'll make sure that he is upfront and honest about it.
3. Brutally honest - Sometimes he let's this get the best of him. When he feels like being a jerk, he'll be upfront about it.
4. Annoying - Michael likes to push people's buttons, literally and mentally. He'll crawl under your skin to get what he wants out of you.
talents
1. Excellent football player.
2. Winning over the ladies with his loving bullshit.
strengths & weaknesses
Strengths
Money.
Weaknesses
Girls. Money.
habits
Michael drinks a lot. Sometimes it gets a little out of control, especially at parties.
When nervous, which happens every now and then, Michael bites his bottom lip. Depending on how nervous he is, sometimes he'll make it bleed.
When he gets cut by anything, Michael likes to pick the scabs so that they'll scar over.
dreams
1. To be able to settle down with a girl. As much as Michael likes to play around with girls, he would love to eventually call one his only one and be able to spend the rest of his life with her.
2. To work for someone famous. (Preferably Hugh Hefner, like any boy would love to do)
3. Not have to work one bit after he finishes schooling.
past
Childhood was a blur to Michael because his father continuously uprooted the family. It was one place to the next until finally, they settled down. Michael's father held a very high and well-paying job up at one of the big-time banks. Eventually because of all of the late nights and moving around, Michael's mother split around Michael's seventh birthday, leaving just him and his father. Mr. Burkowitz always made sure that Michael had something to do.
Michael began discovering girls and football around junior high and then his father met the woman of his "second" dreams and married. This brought along a step sister named Kyle who was about six months younger than Michael.
Kyle and Michael resided under the same roof until Mr. Burkowitz sent him off to an all boys school for high school. Kyle was sent to an all girls school somewhere in Philadelphia. It was father's wishes to separate his kids because he didn't want his perfect son living with some girl.
Family members: Mr. Eric Burkowitz, Mrs. Jamie Lawson-Burkowtiz, and Kyle Lawson-Burkowtiz.
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
History: Under past.

roleplay sample
"Dreaming... I was only dreaming..."
The lyrics pounded through his mind as Michael, informally known as Mike, jolted awake. He had been peacefully napping under one of the large trees around campus. After all, Michael never really wanted to do anything school related on campus anyway.. And a nap, seemed like a good way to put his father's money to use.
The boy stretched out before pushing himself upright and looking around the brightly colored grounds. Nothing new, nothing exciting. Just these shades of green, yellow and blue. It was warm for the afternoon; sweat beads forming on his brow. Quickly, he wiped them away and then wiped his hand on his pants.
"Laughter...There is no more laughter..." Mike sighed again. It was so true about this place. That stupid girl, Kyle had to just come in demanding stuff and it ruined his life. He was now, stuck here, at the biggest cock blocker on the planet - an all boy school. Mike reached into his pocket and pulled out his iPod switching to the next song.. "Restless Heart Syndrome". This song seemed to be the soundtrack of his life. He felt so trapped. Effortlessly, he flipped open his cellphone, no new text messages. Oh right, who would want to text him now that his father had told everyone he dropped off the face of the Earth. Sometimes Kyle would text him, but that wasn't exactly the kind of communication he was looking for. Bored, he let his bottom lip sink under his top teeth and Mike bit down slowly.
"I feel like I've been crucified, to be satisfied..."
Mike shut his eyes, letting them roll into the back of his head as he thought. There had to be something that he could do to make this more bearable. Sneak out? Sure, if he wasn't going to get beat by the heads of the school. But why not just screw around? It would make life more bearable here, and it would definatly be something to look forward to. Mike opened his eyes. He had a few friends here, but they weren't close friends, just acquaintances. They weren't friendly enough toward each other to allow Mike to say something about a plan, or a party, or girls.
Half the boys here, Mike snorted, didn't even know what a girl was or how to associate themselves with the opposite sex. Either that, or the rest all chased boys. A shiver went down Mike's spine at the thought of all of the homos here. It was so against nature.
Again, he flipped open his phone.. No new messages. The words seemed to be taunting him and the world just seemed to not care about him anymore. Bored, yet again, he flipped the phone closed and waited, letting the lyrics capture his mind once more and allow him to drift off into a sleep.
