Flaws/Weaknesses:
- Some say that one of Micah's biggest flaws is he is too kind and compassionate in his silent way.
- His silence can also be considered a flaw to most. He doesn't talk much and doesn't like to disclose what is on his mind unless he finds it to be essential to a matter at hand.
- Although he's fine on the rooftops of buildings and he's never been in one, he has a terrible fear of airplanes. He finds them unnatural and refuses to ever board one.
Skills/Strengths:
- He has brute strength which he keeps up by working out any way he possibly can.
- He can mesh well with any sort of group because of how quiet he is. Most of the time people forget that he's there until he says something, and he's fine with it.
- Patience. Although he's sure they're out there he hasn't met another gargoyle with the amount of patience that he has.
Likes: Please list at least five things your character likes. You can add more if you like.
- Fishing
- Trying new jobs to expand his experience
- The smell of old books
- Getting his hands dirty
- The military
Dislikes: Again, list at least five things your character dislikes. You can add more if you like.
- People who fight for fun
- Being ridiculed
- Sour foods
- Fast food
- Spiders
Other Information: Although he's very quiet and complacent most of the time if he feels that he's being wronged or the situation is bad then he will stand up for himself and what he believes. He may give off that 'pushover' vibe but he isn't one at all. He's just calm at diffusing a situation.

History:
Micah came from a long line of Guardians. All the men and women in his family joined the Guardians, finding they had a knack for being excellent at their job. So Micah didn't have a choice but to join the Guardians when he came of age. And it was a decision he would never regret.
When Micah was still a young man he found himself yearning to join the great nation's military. Signs were hung all around with pictures of Uncle Sam pointing with the caption I WANT YOU! Only because of the gargoyle blood coursing through his veins was he unable to join. How could a young man serve in the United States Army when he turned to stone during the day?
Fortunately though for Micah, his father had some pull with some of the Corporals in the Marine Corps. It wasn't the Army but it was still a branch of the military. The Corporals spoke to their captains and up the chain of command it went until finally it was agreed upon that Micah, though unable to serve during the day, was plenty capable of serving at night. His secret had to be told to a few good men but in the end he found himself in the Marines.
Micah couldn't have been happier. He spent eight years serving his country, given a tent that was guarded during the day and then on the front lines at night. He trained with the best of them, learning tactics in weapons, fighting, and even some intelligence.
These days Micah uses the skills he learned in the military to help him in his Guardian duties. His patience and dedication make him an excellent Guardian but not very sociable. All the same he doesn't mind.
