Mikhael Gustenvaldhur

Mikhael was born in germany in the 2970s. Around the age of 5 he started working on the family farm growing potatos. It was a fairly harsh lifestyle for a small child, but he managed.

Around the age of 7, his father had pooled enough money to enroll Mikhael into a private school. The school consisted of him and about ten other children with three teachers. The teachers taught Mikhael many things including basic battle strategy and about the differences between different types of people. These people included Shinigami, Quincy, Bount, and Hollow.

Around age 9, Mikhael was taught how to use a knife. It was a good lesson to learn, it fit in well with his previous battle tactics and strategy classes. For the first couple of years he would only be allowed to practice on dry targets. Hay bales and dead animals were often used. He was also taught to swim.

At age 10, Mikhael began learning several forms of martial arts. Most of these forms were focused around throwing the opponent using their own body mass. Mikhael’s clan wasn’t particularly well known for being heavily built, so they made up for it by utilizing the enemy’s body mass. Mikhael was also taught how to hold his breath underwater for long periods of time.

At age 11, Mikhael was considered a master of knife techniques and a black belt of one of the simpler forms of martial arts he was learning. He began learning more about large scale battle tactics versus small scale fighting tactics. Mikhael was taught how to survive in extreme conditions in the wild for long periods of time. Knot tying, fire starting, and edible and poisonous creatures and plants were at the top of the list for survival class.

When a member of the clan reached the age of 13, they were sent off on a journey into nature to discover their own personal power. This power was something to never be used unless it was needed direly. The clan member that was coming of age would be drugged and drinked to the point of being unable to realize what was happening and then would be shown the nature of his clan. Each of the three teachers would bring out their quincy bows and fire an arrow into the air. The first arrow would make a minor explosion. The second would cause lightning to strike near the village. The third would cause a torrential downpour. After it began raining, Mikhael was sent into the nature where he discovered the power of his own weapon.

Only after discovering their power were Quincy allowed to leave the village. Mikhael left the village to raise money for the rest of the children and for the teachers to feed them. Mikhael got a job as a lifeguard along the Baltic Sea, watching over the humans. He saved several people from drowning in a period of a couple days, and the lifeguard firm decided to hire him on full time. Every month, Mikhael would bring a pay check to the village and give it to the head chief to spend on food. After a year and a half, several of the buildings had been restored to decent living condition and everyone in the village ate well.

The third year after Mikhael left the village, he returned on the New Year with the usual pay check. The problem being, when he returned, everyone was dead except for one man. The head chief stood there like a statue, muttering something under his breath about a swarm of Hollows and Arrancar. After he finished what he was saying, the man fell to the ground, bleeding from the back in a previously hidden location. Mikhael checked his pulse, and he felt the man die under his own hand. Mikhael cried, letting out a scream. The sixteen year old Quincy took an oath of vengeance.

Fifteen years later, the Quincy has found himself teamed up with his fellow Quincy, the much stronger Yuki Majin. Mikhael took orders from Yuki, because Yuki was much more levelheaded. Mikhael spent his free time with women and practicing for battle, keeping his senses sharp and his blade sharper. He wanted to be sure that nobody would ever take advantage of him again… if anybody dare lay a finger on those close to him they would pay.
