AESTHETIC & PERSONALITY

Michel's look is half way between a riot cop and a general. He carries a specialized baton and a Hard-Light riot shield. The riot shield would be integral to his silhouette and fantasy. When he isn't actively using it to block attacks from the front, it is stored on his back, blocking damage from behind. With the shield stored in this way Michel has a sort of "Paladin" look.

Michel wears a black beret with a fleur-de-lis crest over his close cut hair. Note the Genesis implant visible on his temple. He has a strong face, emphasized by a large mustache with stubble just on the verge of turning "salt and pepper" in color. His neck is protected by a large black collar. In terms of body armor, he wears a padded vest with various patches of fiberglass armor on his shoulders and arms.



This body armor doesn't look especially thick on Michel because he is tall and lean (about 20% larger than Reaper, although he often hunches when running or using his shield). Much of his height is in his legs, with his camo pants tucked into his large black combat boots emphasizing this further. He carries Bijou's leash, smartly folded and buttoned tight to his hip. The leash is no longer necessary; more of a keepsake.



Michel is quiet and serious, more likely to answer a question with a stern look than with words. Although not particularly ill-tempered, he does not suffer fools. This hard exterior belies a kind heart; one that is on full display when he interacts with Bijou.



He is a man of deep faith and conviction, and even though these principles guide his life he does not share these views with those around him. For Michel these feelings are deeply personal. It's hard to know how he feels about turning away thousands of Omnic refugees at his border, but it is his duty and he takes it seriously. Conviction to a cause and loyalty to close friends are the things he values most.

Bijou was a German Shepherd and retains that look (although alternate skins would offer different breeds of dogs). She is made of Hard-Light however, and thus would appear crystalline and translucent. She has a police harness to give her silhouette some more interesting features, and would have that trade-mark German Shepherd stance with the lowered hind-quarters. When she is following Michel she stays tightly next to his side, head lowered in anticipation.
