24 Apr Character Development Sheet #2 Mike

Mike

Mike Shinnoh was born to an Japanese father and American mother. Growing up he faced many strict rules and was forced into extensive education. His father was a huge part of his life as he enforced an education focused schedule. Mike had Jet black hair and a tan skin tone, he had light brown eyes and strong eyebrow arches. His face could be described as a serious in demeanor. The glasses he had to wear due to his poor vision just put the cherry on top. He could pass of as a serious academic. Growing up in Japan, he wanted to play outside but his father quickly put an end to that. Eventually he lost that interest and shifted towards biology and medicine. Mikes parents split up and he ended up moving to America and completed all of high-school in Los Angeles, California. In this time, he perfected his English and learned that he hated the west coast. He very deeply missed japan and vowed to return at any chance he got. Mike worked very hard the last four years of school and offers to top Ivy schools from all around the nation and as well as an offer for Med School in Japan. He immediately decided where he was headed for college. However, a small part of his traditional Japanese behavior had cracked under the west coast atmosphere. Mike found himself less uptight and increasingly social, he liked to hang out with friends and started to like “not studying”.  Perhaps it was all 17 years of hard studying, or maybe it was all the right teenage hormones brewing up. It was hard to leave on his last day in Los Angeles, but he still carried the fundamentals his dad imprinted on to him and went off to study medicine in Japan.
