Michael Jay Pierson
xxBasics
Full Name;; Michael Jay Pierson
Nicknames;; Mikey, Mike
Gender;; Male
Age;; 19
Birthday;; November 1st
xxAppearance;;
Height;; Mikey stands a little bit below the average height for most guys his age… topping out at a lean 5”9.
Build;; He’s slim with a medium bone-frame that causes him to look almost too thin. He has a runners build with long, lean muscles and is in great shape due to exercising and jogging three plus times weekly.
Hair Color;; His hair is naturally a medium dark brown in color with a hint of a reddish shade that shines through when he’s in direct sunlight or a brightly lit room.
Hair Length;; He keeps his hair at a medium short length, saying that anything longer or shorter bothers him. His hair is about the same length all around except for his bangs, which are fairly long and conceal his left eye completely.
Eye Color;; Dual colored… his right eye is its natural deep honey brown color, but his left eye is a pale blue-grey color mixed with the faintest brown due to him being blind in that eye.
Skin Tone;; He’s slightly tanned but is naturally paler and doesn’t tan easily.
Tattoos;; He has a few tattoos…
- A black and pale blue ‘Scorpio’ sign on the back of his neck
- A red, white, blue, and silver ‘American Flag and Barbed Wire’ armband on his upper left arm
- A black outlined ‘Lady Grim Reaper’ on his left shoulder-blade
- A ‘Dragon Tribal’ on his right shoulder-blade
- A ‘Tribal Catcher’ on his upper right arm
Piercings;; Mike’s left earlobe is pierced once, though his right earlobe is pierced twice. He has three piercings in the upper part of his left ear and one in the upper part of his right ear. His lip is also pierced, but he doesn’t often put anything in, just every once in awhile to keep the hole from closing up.
Disabilities;; Mikey’s completely blind in his left eye. His vision started failing when he was three and by the time he was five he had lost all sight in that eye. He coped with it and learned to function with only limited sight and according to the doctors, there was no reason for him to go blind in that eye at all, as there was no history of family inherited blindness and he hadn’t been ill or anything when his sight started failing. It was finally concluded as a ‘medical mystery’, and it was assumed that his right eye would never be affected, however a few months ago he started having trouble with his remaining sight going blurry at random times. Another trip to an eye doctor and hospital concluded that he was slowly losing sight in his right eye.
Clothing Style;; Mikey’s clothing style could be considered a bit out there at times, but for the most part he’s pretty natural. He prefers darker colors as opposed to brights and lights, though he will wear white on occasion. His usual clothes, when not at the stables, are slightly looser jeans with dark t-shirts or sleeveless shirts in summer and t-shirts or long-sleeved shirts worn underneath pullovers during the winter months. He favors steel toed hiking boots when not at the stables. When he’s working with his horses, he usually wears jeans, cowboy boots or english riding boots, and a t-shirt and/or a pullover. He nearly always has on a pair of sunshades to help hide and protect his eyes. He doesn’t dress up often, only when he has something pretty important to go to or something like that.

Negative Traits;;
- Mikey’s sometimes a brash and impatient person.
- Though he’s rather hard to anger or irritate, he has a huge temper when he does blow up on someone.
- He’s rather touchy about certain topics (his sight, his horses, etcetera…).
- He always say’s that he’s “fine” when asked, no matter if he really is or not.
- He sometimes makes snap decisions that usually don’t end that well.
Temperament;; Michael is a pretty calm, laid back guy most of the time. He’s friendly enough to get by and has always had a few friends even though he has never actively gone looking for friends. He enjoys riding and being around horses and would rather be with his two horses than with his own family. He’s reliable and is willing to help out the best he can and will work at something until it’s done or until he’s got it as good as he possibly can. He tends to lose track of time when he’s doing something he really enjoys.
General Outlook;; “Each dawn is the beginning of a new day, so live each one like it’s your last and regret nothing. Life’s too short to be hesitant, no one knows the future.”
