Michael Phillip Raguel was born in nineteen-ninety four, to a devout Christian family in rural Dakota. He was the son of a preacher and a homemaker, he was brought up on a steady stream of religion. He was taught the word of God, and by extension Christ, was the most important thing to live by in this word. He was charismatic from the very beginning, which supplemented his naturally good looks, making it very easy to get what he wanted or to get people to listen to him.
His father noticed this when he was young, and taught the boy to use this skill to further his own(Micheal's Father's) goals.
Things were going fine for the Raguel family, until the time came for Micheal's little sister to be born.
Suffice to say, there was complications with the childbirth, and Micheal's mother- the only one who mellowed the normally fiery preacher that was Micheal's Father- passed away.
For a while, things where fine, and on Micheal's tenth birthday, he was given a NKJV Bible, before he only had the New Testament and a watered down for kids Bible.
Micheal poured over the book, and was disgusted with the conduct listed there, and the punishment the holy wrought on those considered unholy. He began to argue with his father, who was becoming more and more strict with each passing day.
He was beaten for the first time when he argued with his father how the complete Bible was hypocritical. Instead of trying to prove his son wrong, he just punched Micheal as hard as he could in the stomach.
Micheal started hating his father when his sister Mary- then only five -was punished for wanting her hair cut a different way. Micheal's father began punishing them for smaller and smaller infractions, and had less reasons to do so. To top it all off, he said he was doing it to make sure they followed the way of the Lord.
When Micheal was thirteen, he began hanging out with the outcasts and misfits. One day, Micheal(Now age 14) and his new(-ish) friends decided to steal a car and go for a joyride. It was fun for them, until the driver swerved to avoid a dog and drove off a steep embankment.

Micheal sat there, surrounded by the corpses of four of his friends, unable to move since his arm was pinned between two twisted hunks of metal, unable to call for help(bad reception ftl!), unable to do anything except look at the mangled bodies of his friends...and to smoke his (now dead) friend's cigarettes, hoping to calm his nerves. He was rescued a few hours later, with minimal injuries and only a broken arm. When he got home from the hospital and police station, his father was waiting.
Micheal took the punches without complaint, until his father drug his little sister into it.
So Micheal, who was close to snapping anyway, lashed out, and punched his father back. Hard. Then again. After that night his father never laid a finger on them, but still verbally abused them both, trying to make them think like him.
Micheal eventually got tired of all the crap and ran away at the tender age of sixteen, he managed to convince his little sister, then twelve, to come with him.
His father never called the police or anything.

They were originally heading for New York, but Mary was tired of travelling and convinced her brother to stay in Boston.

Things are good after two years of working dead-end low paying jobs, as he managed to complete a mail in high school/college program, and got his diploma, which let him apply for a better job. He even won custody of Mary from their father, and now she's attending a nice school, instead of being homeschooled like she was when they were on the run. They live in a small but nice apartment in a quiet neighborhood.

However, Micheal's early life made him lose faith in god as the ultimate provider of justice and peace, as a result he no longer cares for or believes in God. Hard to tell which, however. He doesn't stop his sister from praying.
He lived a bit...morally loose when he was on the run, experimenting with anything to fill the void his belief used to. He did everything at least once.
It's a surprise that the only addiction he has now is smoking, which continued from the time of the accident.

Micheal doesn't want to change the world anymore, he just wants to live a moderately normal life and raise his little sister.

Mary(Retainer)(Age:14)

Micheal has sandy brown hair, almost angelic features, and is of a normal build. He wears his hair long, below his eyes.
