"Andrew... The number of people you have been mugged by in the last two weeks actually exceeds the population of Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa combined. You have been beaten to a pulp so many times that I do not think the world's greatest scholars can keep them all on record. How is it even possible that you have not ran more than seven and a half times the circumference of this room? I... I honestly find that so unfathomable that I fear my brain may actually explode and begin to ooze out of my ear." Mikael's words actually do sound sincere. The look on his face is one of shock and awe. He is so dumbfounded by the scenario that he has difficulty even thinking of what to have Andrew try next. "Pushups. You can do pushups, right? Drop and give me... a lot. Just... just drop and start doing them. And please do not count. I do not desire for the disappointment of your performance to cause my heart to stop beating."
Many rumors circulated about the broad-shouldered Highlander in Ul'dah but the rumors of Mikael’s stature were impossibly innacurate. They said that he was nearly 8 fulms and weighed around 400 ponzs. In truth, he was just under 6 fulms, 7 ilms and weighed 272 ponzs. Another rumor that was gaining prominence was that the Gladiator had broken a Roegadyn’s arm during a test of strength. Mikael’s sculpted form did little to discourage this rumor. His body was completely free of scarring save the small collection on his face. Each muscle was carefully defined by obsessive design, giving him the appearance of being chiseled from a single slab of solid stone. Claims that the young man was so heavily scarred that he was unrecognizable as a Hyur and that he did not even need armor to stop a deadly blade were clearly exaggerated. He had but three scars on his face, each with a tale to tell and a hard lesson learned; a vertical one over his right eye, a second diagonal scar on his right cheek, and the third another vertical mark on the left side of his mouth. The only other mark of note was a strange tattoo just below his neck on his back. The mark was a deep black and was a stark contrast to his fair skin tone.
Icy blue orbs shift to the side cautiously as Mikael detects movement in the room. He kicks himself inwardly for his lack of attentiveness. No one should have entered the building without him knowing immediately. He lowers his arms to his sides, fingers curved slightly as he lowers his chin a bit. "Whoever that is, you had better have no ill intent. I am not in the mood to give quarter today."
