Physical Description
Mikhail is slim and slightly short, with little muscle mass to speak of.
- Kindness Embodiment: As the Virtue of Kindness, Mikhail possesses the following abilities:
- Indomitable Kindness/Control Immunity: Mikhail cannot be controlled or made to be cruel by any means, and cannot be coerced to do so.
- Magnetic Friendship: Mikhail possesses the ability to make friends with almost anyone he meets, in no time at all.
- Peace Inducement: Although this is an ability typically reserved for Seraphs, Mikhail curiously has the ability to bring instant peace to an area or individual, making them lose the will to fight, or greatly improving their mood.
- Omnilingualism
- Supernatural Condition: As an angel, Mikhail gains the following natural boosts:
- Supernatural Strength, Type III: Mikhail has godlike strength, able to lift whole skyscrapers and destroy mountains.
- Supernatural Speed, Type II: Mikhail is able to move incredibly fast, becoming invisible to the naked eye. He can outpace any form of transportation that currently exists.
- Supernatural Reflexes: Mikhail can react to an attack or movement many times faster than even an elf.
- Supernatural Perception/Detection: Mikhail is able to sense life force, magical signatures and heat signatures, allowing nothing to evade his notice.

Like all angels, Mikhail wears white hooded robes with gold trim, and sandals to match.
Mikhail's weapon of choice is the Weapon of Kindness, which is a white sniper rifle with a maginifying sight and golden accents. The rifle draws on the user's magic, and Mikhail, being an angel, has plenty. So long as he has magic to spare, the rifle will never be empty.
Mental characteristics
As a cherub, Mikhail was always kind and supportive to his fellow cherubs, often leading the way or helping them when they got injured. He rarely ever fought with anyone, and most people liked him right away. As an angel, and in school, Mikhail retained his kind nature, and served as a tutor for many students in school whose grades were falling behind. Although Mikhail's own grades were somewhat average, he understood the concepts well enough to assist them. Mikhail also always stayed behind to help clean up the classroom, and sometimes assisted his teachers in bringing the classroom to order, or explaining a problem.
Coincidentally, Mikhail shared the same high school as
Cera Robin Aduras. He initially met her in the courtyard, noticing that she was upset. However, when he tried to help, Cera waved him away. Mikhail didn't want to pry, so he let her be, but told her that if there was anything he could do, to just give him a call. After he graduated, Mikhail signed on for the military, but preferred to remain at the back of the battle; his weapons of choice were usually sniper rifles. Again in the military, he met Cera, and when she became his commanding officer, rising quickly through the ranks due to her aptitude, he obeyed her without question. He defended Cera when one angel cornered her in a hallway, and threw the angel through a nearby wall, then apologized to Cera and stated he would go run laps for her as punishment for assaulting a fellow officer, leaving Cera speechless.
Mikhail didn't see Cera much after that, as she rose to even greater heights, but he remained in the military, assisting and providing critical shots wherever he could, ranking up at his own pace and joining a spec-ops unit. He got along with his fellow soldiers well, and usually volunteered for medical duty, even when it wasn't his turn to assist.
At some point, Mikhail heard the news that Cera had become not only General of the Angels, but also the Virtue of Diligence. He went to see her to congratulate her, but instead found her in a deep depression, a desolate look on her face. It occurred to Mikhail that her abilities may have drawn the ire of her fellow angels, and he realized she wanted acceptance more than success. He did his best to comfort Cera, and promised he would never abandon her, no matter what, which Cera was endlessly grateful for. At that moment, the symbol of Kindness appeared above Mikhail's head: a handshake with a heart above it. He was now one of the Seven Virtues, and Cera promptly congratulated him, thankful that he had become a Virtue like her.
To this day, Mikhail is still active in both Heaven and the military, and is one of the best snipers in all of Heaven. He does his best to ensure all angels are comfortable and happy in Heaven, no matter what.
