Name: Mikah Izuno (My-kuh)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Mikah is shy young lad, and that's visible in his demeanor, standing only at 5'5. He wears a white mage cloak similar the standard, adorned with the red triangle pattern around the bottom and edges of the cloak and sleeve. The cloak itself however is slightly more tight fitting, where the original cloak would have long, droopy hanging sleeves, the sleeves on his cloak hang slightly on his arms and are slightly shorter while bending outwards slightly, allowing clear view of his hands. The slightly more tight-fitting outfit shows off his slim, almost meek looking body. He's thin, but he's in no way muscular. His hood reaches over his face slightly, giving no hint to the dirty blonde hair underneath and obscuring his bright blue eyes a tad.
Due to his proficiency with White Magic, Mikah is expected to be one of the "front line" healers in battle. As of such underneath his cloak he wears simple, stand leather armor that covers his chest, mid riff, shoulders, upper arms, elbow side of his lower arms, the top of his hands and all the way down to his ankles, wear he wears simply, black slip on shoes. Further underneath that he either wears a vest or short cloth shirt and some thin, comfy pants to prevent heat exhaustion.
On particularly hot days, Mikah is seen without his armor and cloak and wears a plain, simple white cloth shirt and grey shorts and black shoes.
Background: Mikah was always a shy boy and as of such, never really gained any friends of noteworthy stature. Sure, he socialized on occasion, but never actually established any bonds. However he always had a deep compassion for those he was around. Even though he had troubles opening up to those around him, his willingness to help (and heal) them never faltered. As his friends grew reckless with age (not so much for Mikah) he began to discover a knack for helping his friends when they hurt themselves.
One day, Mikah and his three friends were out playing in the streets of Radiant Garden. They were up to their usual selves; climbing things, jumping off things, and as usual, Mikah was stood off to the side, watching his friends commit to these crazy acts. However, one of them had a nasty fall, he fell from a tree, colliding with many branches and his body twisted and contorted with each collision. As he fell, Mikah couldn't tell if the branches were snapping or if it was the bones of his friend. Rushing to his side, Mikah applied immediate and urgent first aid, placing him in the optimal recovery position while he told the other two to get help.
Further inspection indicated his friend had broken some ribs and potentially had a collapsed lung. He could see his friend dying in front of his eyes with no way to help him. When all hope seemed lost and Mikah was ready to breakdown, a strange green glow emitted from his hands. Mikah in his sense of hysteria had cast the spell cure! It seemed he had the natural gift of restorative magic within him, and this dormant gift healed his friend enough to where experienced paramedics saved his life.
For saving a boy's life and being able to use magic without any form of instruction, Mikah received a letter of recommendation from the boy's father, a wealthy, prosperous man known as David Larax informing him he had been requested to begin tutelage at the Order of Light so that he may continue to help those in need.
Delighted that he had the opportunity to be able to further his knowledge on medicine and curative magic, Mikah opted for a permanent residency within the Order of Light so that he may learn all that he can.
That was three years ago and Mikah's budding seed of talent has begun to blossom wonderfully. He is well adept at White Magic and began study on Green Magic one year ago. He wants to become the best White/Green Mage hybrid ever known. One day, he may achieve that goal.
Personality: Mikah is shy and as of such he finds it difficult to open up to others even if he cares deeply about them. This proves detrimental towards Mikah as although he may feel a close bond with someone, they may not feel the same way as he is rather reserved himself. This causes him to easily feel betrayed or unwanted when talking to these people he is connected to.
Despite this, Mikah would do anything for a person in need. If he sees someone hurting, his first thought is to do all he can to heal them or help in some way. Despite being rather shy and reserved when it comes to people, he is quite confident and calm in situations that may stress others out, as he can easily adapt to his surroundings. However when his friends or close allies are in trouble, he may begin to panic, as the memories of when he friend almost died usually come flooding back, throwing him into a state of nervous hysteria.
Even though he can not open to others very well, he is rather naive, to the point where he may follow someone unquestionably if they
say they are good if they say they're going to do something good. This can make him rather easily to manipulate and coupled with his instinct to help others, it could potentially put him in serious trouble.
Equipment: Mikah's
staff is more ornate than others due to his rapid progression in White Magics. Instead of a regular wooden or steel staff, Mikah's is one that was specifically tailored towards him, to the point where he designed it himself. The grip of the rod is purple and is light enough for him to wield with one hand. The four feather like objects at the head of the staff represent himself and his three friends. The spikes protruding from the side are used for close ranged defense should he wish to attempt to pierce his enemy rather than clobber them or he doesn't have enough time to flip his staff over and use the point at the bottom as a form of makeshift spear.
When wearing his armor, he also has a short sword (almost a dagger) strapped to his side.
Proficiencies: Mikah as explained before is remarkably adept at curative magic and as of such his spells can be cast quicker and with greater affect. Due to his experiences as a child, and despite being shy, Mikah can adapt pretty well to stressful and dangerous situations, following others into potential death traps when others would not. The Order Of Light recognizes that a White Mage is at a disadvantage at close quarters, so he has received extensive (for a white mage) training in hand-to-hand and close range combat and as of such his strength, dexterity and reaction time is unparalleled. Among White Mages that is. He is by no means capable of taking on a warrior or fighter one on one unless he is incredibly ingenious or downright lucky, but he can hold is own against lesser enemies, at least.

Mikah Exclusive Skill, Mikah Barrier: Mikah creates a dome of light around his person that protects him from magical and physical attacks. The dome itself is six feet in length and six feet tall. This dome cannot be pierced, but it can be shattered by a strong force. When using this technique, Mikah usually channels all his remaining MP into this technique, thus it is rather durable, however he is pretty much left defenseless as he is usually rendered quite tired after this skill is used. He generally used this technique to defend those who urgently need it, so that he may stall until back up arrives.
