Characters Page. Mike Wisdom (Human Euthanatos Mage) Description: Background: Aimee was the perfect daughter, some
6 years older than he. He loved/hated his sister in the accepted way since there
were big sisters and little brothers. When she turned 12, a sadness came over her.
She kept up the appearance Mummy and Daddy expected, but Wisdom could see it. She
committed suicide when she was 13. Mike was the one who found her in the bathroom,
electrocuted, hairdryer still in hand. His parents claimed it was an accident, and
after the appropriate contributions to the Policemen's General Fund, so did the
detectives. Mike, 7 at the time, was devastated. Madison was just 2 and doesn't
remember, but Mike does. He had dreams, but not nightmares, for years. Then his grandmother died 5 years
later. In truth, she was more of a mother. Audrey, his mother, was often found in
the social circles of New Hampshire old money. Martin, his father, was often too
busy with his mistresses to be home all that much. Mike wasn't bitter or angry. He felt
that was the way all perfectly normal. He knew his mother would be home sometime,
and his father obviously loved him. Look at all the great presents. Truthfully, his family was his grandmother
and Maddy. That was all the family that truly mattered. When his grandmother died, of perfectly
natural causes, he shrank into himself. Often limiting himself to his room, with
the occasional trip to the bathroom. Shrinks were hired and hush money was paid. Finally, he felt he'd grieved enough
and ôreturned to the land of the livingö as his mother put it. She was
very close to the truth. While he was grieving, he found a few fundamental truths
that helped lead him from the edge of his crisis.
The philosophy served him well. He grew strong in body, mind and
spirit. He developed a pair of passions, football and medicine. He developed into
both an excellent running back and an excellent student of science. With his athletic
skills, he could virtually pick his college. His academic prowess, however, wasn't
as highly valued. He challenged he accepted theories too much. So, he came to Georgia
Tech, and met Wendy. Wendy the Witch, she called herself. She became his lover,
teacher and friend. She was killed in an automobile accident
before his education was fully completed. Wisdom was in the car with her and was
untouched. He never felt she really left him, that she was there with him. She hadn't introduced him to Mage
society yet, just some tantalizing hints. She also left him her apartment, her sanctuary,
and the library within. This apartment has a door which he has never seen opened,
in fact, she warned him to never open it. He still hasn't. Magickal Style Character Perceptions:
