💧 Mercurial. Mikleo can go from sternly admonishing his partner Sorey to teasing very quickly. 💧 Kindhearted. No one would dare call him gentle, but Mikleo takes care of those around him in his own way, and he does so without hesitation (so long as there isn't any danger). 💧 No-nonsense. As the carrier of the braincell, Mikleo makes sure that he's the voice of reason at all times. He has his weaknesses, however. 💧 Icy. Mikleo keeps an eye on things, and can be cool or even cold to those whom he deems unworthy of his trust. 💧 Loyal. However, once people have broken through that icy exterior, he's surprisingly ride-or-die. 💧 Protective. Going hand in hand with loyalty, he will use everything he knows to protect those around him. 💧 Mature. Mikleo is only older than Sorey by a matter of months, but he acts like he's way older than that. One could even say he takes things too seriously. Sorey is always trying to get him to lighten up, whereas Mikleo cools him off and tries to curb his impulsive nature. 💧 Stubborn. He is stubborn as a rock according to Sorey, and he knows it. His convictions are very important to him. 💧 Driven. Speaking of convictions, it's Mikleo's dream to see the world with Sorey and he won't let anyone stop him, especially not Sorey. He does what he does in the game not for Sorey, but for himself. 💧 Optimistic. Though they've seen their share of hardships, Mikleo maintains a positive outlook. Call it Sorey's influence. This can also be seen in how he comes to love humanity as much as Sorey despite seeing the good as well as the bad. 💧 Secretive. Mikleo is observant, and prefers to keep his true thoughts on the situation to himself until he's sure of what he's seeing. 💧 Curious. Like his counterpart Sorey, he has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, and this can overrule his usual cautious nature if they're in some ruins. 💧 Devoted. Mikleo and Sorey are two halves of one whole, sometimes to an unhealthy degree. Mikleo is unwilling to let him go at the beginning of the story, but by the end of the game, he believes that Sorey will return-- and holds onto that conviction for an unknown length of time until he meets his partner once again.
AU Name: Miyuki "Mikleo" Nagawa // Assistant Wisteria AU Birthday: March 14th Faction: POKEGO
AU History: Mikleo was born as Miyuki. Raised in Hokkaido as the son of two teachers, his parents raised him to appreciate knowledge and beauty. He spent his childhood years learning everything he could about the old beliefs, the history and archaeology of the land they lived on, and spent summers looking over the temples because of the tourism. When he was about six years old, he nearly drowned after falling into a pond. From then on he was very careful about being around deep water.
In the end it wasn't water that got him, though. On the eve of his sixteenth birthday, a vicious fire roared through their old house. His parents were able to get out in time, but Mikleo ran back in to save the family cat. The roof collapsed on top of him as he guarded her from the smoke and flames, and this would become his tomb.
When he awoke, he had changed-- he looked like an anime character, had some knowledge that he was certain he didn't have before, and more importantly, he could manipulate water and even heal the injuries he had suffered in the collapse. The cat had survived too, but she acted like she didn't recognize him, or maybe she couldn't... see him? He tried to get help, hailing everyone he could and even tracking down his parents at his grandmother's house, but no one could see him.
He was a ghost, a spectator of his own life.
Solemn and unsure of where to go from here, he was approached by an associate of Professor Willow while watching over his own funeral. Surprised that anyone could see him, and not seeing many other options, he joined POKEGO for something like a new beginning.
He apprenticed under several people, finishing out his traditional education and moving into secondary paranormal education. With POKEGO's sponsorship, he eventually decided to focus on the study of gods and ruins due to their tendency to become gateways to other realms, and also because he had to concern himself with keeping places like that pure, lest disasters like his past life happen again.
When he was first brought into POKEGO and his weakness to corruption was discovered, he had been assigned to several partners and made a pact with them so that he could use them as a vessel in order to stay pure. They were all nice enough people, and he got along well with them. He slept in separate rooms when possible, and they all just treated it like two researchers sharing a field posting. His third partner had lasted the longest (6 years), and was a very charming man who was also earnest in his work to help Pokemon and every other innocent creature in the world they came across.
However, he caught wind of something dark and terrible and confronted his partner with the rumor that Willow was a traitor. This forced a confession out of his partner: he was in league with POKEGO's leader, and they were close to something that would change the face of the universe forever: imprisoning a god. Fearing for his life, Mikleo severed their pact and hid. While he was ultimately unable to sabotage Willow's plan with the info he had, he was safe, while his partner died in the chaos and infighting.
After being so betrayed, Mikleo refused to take on any more pact partners, even though it put him at considerable risk. POKEGO realized that they could only do so much for Mikleo, so they assigned him to Kaisou and reasoned he probably couldn't make relations any worse.
AU Personality Differences:
Mikleo grew up without Sorey in this AU, but that wasn't entirely a bad thing. He knew love and a healthy family for most of his life. Losing it all has taken its toll, however, and a combination of past life memories and experiences with a life invisible have tempered his personality. He's more like early-game Mikleo with how reserved and cautious he is, though no less tenacious-- it's his existence on the line after all. Mikleo goes by his past life's name outside of work in an attempt to distance himself from the life he had, as he considers himself to have died.
He's always felt like he was missing something and he knows now that it's because his past life had a sun he revolved around. Mikleo knows the boy's name but memories of his appearance are hazy.
