Michael | Earthian | Not Reserved | Part II

[secret_heart]

Other:
There is a misconception about the inhabitants of Eden, though they call themselves Angels and Archangels, they have no connection to angels in a religious context. They are an ancient alien species that resemble humans with retractable wings. They have superhuman abilities including increased speed and strength. While Michael’s abilities are never expounded upon within the series we can assume that he has the ability to heal the wounds of others by licking them. This seems to be common as Raphael and Kagetsuya can do it and since Kagetsuya is the child born from Michael and Lucifel’s sin it makes them almost copies of one another. It’s also possible that Michael can communicate with birds as well, but again, his abilities are never explained only implied through his close, genetic connection to Kagetsuya. He can fly, naturally, and teleport to some extent. Finally, there are a great many of plot holes in Earthian which is why parts of Michael’s history and personality are disjointed and some things are simply left unexplained.

Additional Links: While wiki has a link that covers the Earthian OVA for the most part, there are few sites that go in depth and cover characters like Michael and Raphael. Those that did have gone and died…a sad, sad thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthian

First Person (entry type):

[When the feed cuts on it’s self-evident that the person being filmed by the community is both unaware and too preoccupied with something else to be even remotely concerned about whether or not a device is taping him.

It's possible that he is aware that he's being watched by something else and he doesn't really care.

A quick glance at his surroundings suggests that the man is sitting in a solitary prison cell with moderately comfortable accommodations. The man himself appears almost neutral where the small luxuries are concerned…probably due to the fact that he is the most interesting thing in his cell.

He sits, for the moment, quietly on his cot, a set of glorious white wings protruding from his back…or at least they must have been glorious, because at the moment they looked somewhat unkempt and he was clearly shedding as in his hands there were a number of white feathers…and more still slowly spiraling their way down to the floor.]

It seems that prison life doesn’t agree with me so well; though being shackled doesn’t make grooming any easier [holds his wrists up and tests his bonds with some mild irritation] do they think that moving me from a smaller cell to a larger cell will make any difference in my ability to escape. Really…it’s a little unnecessary…I’d much rather they left me where I was, at least they allowed me to move my arms…but if this is life in a solitary prison cell then…

[He heaves a long-suffering sigh before getting up and pacing to the other side of his gilded cage.]

I suppose I can’t be too upset, I don’t regret what I’ve done, but I still cannot help worrying about my dear Chihaya…I imagine that’s probably what’s causing my distress.

[Holds up the handful of feathers once more before releasing them, letting them scatter across the floor.]

I hope he’s okay wherever he is…[he reaches up to pinch the bridge of his nose looking somewhat distressed]…ripping his wing off, even if it was for Kagetsuya, I can’t imagine. I suppose, as a gesture of love there is an unexpected beauty to it…but he was losing a lot of blood…

[He shakes his head at this point as if trying to dispel some horrible thought from his mind]

…I also understand the Metatron has backed off of the Earth and the humans. Chihaya should be pleased…though it’s very likely that Raphael is enraged…underestimating the Earthian.

[A vague smirk forms at the corner of Michael’s lips, but it disappears just as quick and he finally takes a seat behind the device that’s recording him]

Even surveillance cameras, I didn’t realize I was such a threatening presence…but I am grateful. Limited access to Eden’s database, Raphael’s doing I’m sure; though I didn’t think he had quite the sense of humor…at least I don’t remember the database being adorned with ducks.

I guess things change when you’re in the big house.

Third Person:

When asked why he had done it, Michael had been unable to answer.

Actually he simply couldn’t find the words right then and there, not while he was holding the bloody mass of feathers and bones that had once been his beloved child’s wing. Michael was simply stunned, perhaps that was part of the reason he could only stand there, frozen to the spot, but the reality was he let Chihaya escape. His only logic was that he couldn’t bear to see his adopted son suffer any more than he already had…and if he had to bear witness to Chihaya’s execution…well the Archangel did not think he could endure it. So perhaps his reasons were selfish in the eyes of the system, but love was his motivation…

Love was a beautiful thing…

Love had imposed a life sentence upon him for helping to aid in the escape of a prisoner who had committed high treason. How could it be that love had become such a dangerous and unforgiveable crime? It wasn’t as though his child had denied anyone else of their own autonomy or their life which was a crime even more heinous in Michael’s opinion. He was beginning to feel as though the paranoia on his home planet had wrapped its fingers around the throat of his fellow Angels and was now throttling what sense they had left to them. If they were a race of creatures so stagnant that they would condemn love then perhaps they were more savage than the Earthians, perhaps their ancient race had de-evolved somehow.

That is why Michael had no regrets…

The only mystery in his life was when had he begun to care about Chihaya so much that throwing away his life and his accomplishments was no more or less complicated than taking out the garbage. The little black-winged angel of Eden, when Michael had adopted him, was a top scoring candidate for military school. He was also unique. He wasn’t Kagetsuya. From these shallow reasons Michael had developed an unfathomable love for his adopted son and it was for his happiness that the Archangel had committed his crime. Perhaps that’s what it was to be a father…

Ah, Chihaya, wherever he was Michael could only hope that he was okay…

Wherever he was Michael hoped that his son knew how much he cared…

Another nagging source of pain for Michael was his longtime companion Raphael, Raphael who could free him if he wanted to. Raphael who was now the commanding officer. Raphael who attacked the Earth, even though Michael had pleaded with him not to. He couldn't even begin to sort out his feelings on this strain in their relationship...hurt, betrayal, shock? Right now he was still in the processing state of things, something that only time would sort out.
