[Evening, the hotel room appears to be empty. He's trying to be quiet about it, but Michel is packing up his things. The door is cracked open, in his haste]

Ah, this is it, isn't it..?

((Drop post, open for as long as it has to be - I will be spotty for the coming week but I will pick up.))

So in a chat, it came up that Michel is from a planet were everything is a marsupial. I asked if male marsupials have pouches too, and she had to google it.

The result is a very interesting page of FAQs.

( VERY INTERESTING. NSFW )

This post was brought to you by Mylene and the letters O, T and L.

This post has two purposes:

1) Gmail and google in general are fucked up for me (and also apparently yahoo. WTF). Sad face. You may recall this from Kuroyan's drop post. This is an ISP thing, and had been fixed, but now it's broken again. So if there's something that needs to be picked up that I've missed, please let me know here, until gmail is magically functional again. ETA IT IS WORKING AGAIN, after I post this. But I think it'll probably break again eventually. FYI, ANYWAY

2) Michel is almost at 1K! After two months. Haha. orz. Anyway, relationship meme/first impressions if anyone feels like it - Shiouji, Freyjadour, Masataka, Yuri Hyuga, Basara, Michel, Yuushi.

More bandwagonning and blatant theft of polls, it's awwwwright. Especially because this is awesome.

I am going to make it my personal goal that every character who fills out this poll will get at least one thread from the character you picked by this time next month (OR THEREABOUTS). I'll be keeping a list, and I will make it my priority to seek you out and tag you so I can cross you off!


Poll #1274229 ITP: I steal Rikuou's poll
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 3

Please jump me with...

Is there anything in particular you'd like to do?

OKAY now I am going back to work

I did my State of the Union BEFORE so let's just do the dropping meme part, why don't we?

( Dropping Meme. Short and sweet. )

TASTY HTML FUCKUP FIXED

I stole the format for this from other people, ohoho.
Trying to straighten some stuff out.

( State of the Union )

At the back of a Macross F porn doujin...

( Alto gets all the chicks. This is unrelated. )

Name: Official name is Michael Blanc.  However, he says his friends call him Michel, or Mihael, depending on what sub you're watching.  TO BE FAIR it sounds like either.  That said, in camp he'll respond to Michael, Michel or Mihael. (And in IRC, I will too.)  I am easy.
Age: 17
Height: NO IDEA, though relatively tall.
Weight: and again, NO IDEA
Medical Info: Wears glasses to correct his vision. 4chan says he's half space kangaroo Zolan according to one of the light novels. I have no idea if this is true.  I would've assumed if he was part Zentran (and thus, pointy ears) it would've been mentioned in canon, but the Zolans have pointy ears too. I'm really not sure.  More to follow here, just. give me a bit, okay?
Eyes: Green
Hair: Blond
Physical traits: ... glasses, again.   "Curly strands of awesome hair" also, since I left them out.  OH YEAH pointy ears. I'm awesome at remembering things.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: If we could avoid mentions of episode 20+ for the moment, I would really appreciate it. Also his sister is kind of iffy but no one would probably know about that.  OTHERWISE I don't really think there's much.  If there's something that comes up, I'll talk oocly.
Abilities: Michael is a sniper, so he can shoot guns.  That's... his main skill.  Oh, besides picking up the ladies, gg.
Notes for the Psychics: He's normal, so nothing of note.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Let me know, I don't mind most of these.
Hugging/Kissing/Other non-violent physical contact: Feel free!
Maim/Murder/Death: Hurting is okay, but hold off on the rest for the moment, please.
Cooking: I don't think anything's ever been stated but I imagine he's okay.

Character: Michael Blanc
Series: Macross Frontier
Character Age: 17
Canon: Magical music and multiple missiles, welcome to the world of Macross, saving the galaxy and uniting races with song. Macross Frontier was making its way through the galaxy when it was attacked by insect-like aliens, called the Vajra. The military calls in their private "testing" company, the SMS, to give them a hand in this struggle, and they become a key component in the battle against the Vajra. The SMS is comprised of several squadrons of pilots, comprised of humans and the race of giants, called the Zentradi, alike.

Michael Blanc, or Michel to his friends, is the sniper in SMS's Skull Squadron. When not taking aim at the Vajra, Michael is a pilot student at Mihoshi Academy, along with his two friends, Alto and Luca. Confident and self-assured, he's the joker and ladies man of the group, rarely resisting an opportunity to jab at his friends (like calling Alto "Princess"), or hitting on a pretty lady. After all, he brags that he gets his women and his targets in one shot! For all his kidding around, Michael usually knows when enough is enough, and he generally takes his role with SMS very seriously. He's also rather perceptive when it comes to things not relating directly to him. This is glaringly obvious when he's able to see the series love triangle so obviously, and yet unable to see that someone has true feelings for him.

Sample Post:

Alright everybody! Here we go, we're doing a head count. A complete head count, and no one's exempt! Well, except for you guys who don't have heads, but I can't see how you'd fly a plane anyway. Normally SMS doesn't rely on green recruits, but here, we don't have too much of a choice. Dedication is key - you can't decide halfway through that you'd rather be a lumberjack. That's not okay, so don't even think about it. SMS is small, but it's not as if size matters - well, not unless you're a zentradi.

And so you're wondering: what Michael Blanc could possibly teach you? What can't Michael Blanc teach you? Your first lesson, call me Michel. At least, you girls in the crowd. The lesson for you guys in the crowd, well! It's a little more complicated. One: It's not hazing if someone makes you up in your sleep. It's called raising troop morale. Two, pushing you into the girls' bathroom is an honest mistake. And three, you get to sit on the men's side of the onsen all by yourself, while yours truly gets to take a place on the ladies' side. We really can't have that level of fraternization!

Aah, the onsen really is nice, isn't it? Aside from the walruses, we don't have anything to worry about. As long as they don't bother us. Now, the second lesson is that Michael Blanc always gets his targets -- Now now, girls! Girls? You're both pretty. I can see you looking at that corpse. . . ah, I guess I should've found a more polite word for it, but I can't take that back. That handsome corpse you both are gazing so desperately at, that you both have in your targets! I ought to be happy someone's hitting their mark. It's the sign of girls in love. He's brainless, he would never be able to choose between the two of you!

What a terrible situation. That a guy can't even tell something so obvious. He almost reminds me of someone. A love triangle? A love hexagon? It doesn't matter. To tell you the truth, the steam in the onsen is starting to fog up my glasses, and I'm losing track myself. In the end though, I don't think I'm really the person who should be answering this question for you, girls. Do what you feel is right, but please, hands to yourselves! Even I know better than to get involved in something like that.
