GENERAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
Michael Angellus is the son of the late Admiral Liram Angellus, former Flag Officer of the Galactic Alliance 3rd Defense Fleet. He is a descendant of House Angellus, a Corellian-Naboo hybrid noble line of military strategists, starfighter tacticians, and planetary defenders whose service dates back to the First Hyperspace War. Through his bloodline, he is also the ninth-generation grandnephew of Jedi Master Caltin Vanagor, and cousin to Jedi Knight Connel Vanagor—each themselves storied warriors of Republic legend.
Michael was admitted into consideration by virtue of both service lineage and exceptional aptitude reports filed during his provisional training deployments under Galactic Alliance supervision. His aptitude in flight command, spatial awareness, and quick-strike tactics outpaces cadets three years his senior.
OFFICER'S OBSERVATION (POUIHL, R.):
STRENGTHS:- Exceptional flight instincts and navigational reflexes
- High emotional intelligence and empathy; command under pressure
- Demonstrated aptitude for battlefield analysis and rapid threat assessment
- Deep loyalty to his team and commanding officers
- Clear influence from Jedi-style presence training and meditative control
AREAS FOR DEVELOPMENT:- Struggles with internal pressure related to legacy and personal loss
- Prone to self-doubt despite high performance
- Force sensitivity is still raw—requires proper discipline and mentoring
- Occasionally places others' safety above mission success
RECOMMENDATION:
Michael Angellus is strongly encouraged for cross-disciplinary commission eligibility, with potential to bridge the evolving dynamics between the Jedi Order of Shiraya and Naval Strategic Command. His ability to balance military tradition, emotional awareness, and emerging Force attunement makes him a candidate of rare caliber.
The name "Angellus" earns him notice. His character will earn him loyalty.
We should consider ourselves fortunate he's chosen to serve.

Michael Angellus is a young man on the threshold of greatness—and ruin. Standing tall in both form and presence, his striking features tell the story of two heritages colliding: his father's commanding jawline, shaped by generations of soldiers and tacticians, and his mother's piercing blue eyes—windows to a soul far more emotionally aware than his years should allow. Every inch of him carries the echo of legacy, even when he doesn't want it to.HISTORY
Born on Naboo, raised in the quiet grief of his mother's estate after the brutal, very public execution of his father—Admiral Liram Angellus—Michael has known both privilege and pain in equal measure. His father was not merely a hero of the Galactic Alliance and a revered officer of the Silver Jedi Defense Force, but also a symbol of order, stability, and strategic genius. His loss sent ripples through star systems.
But for Michael, it wasn't political—it was personal.
He watched his father die, restrained by the very man he loved most in the galaxy. That moment, seared into his memory, became a fault line in his soul. Liram's final act was to save his son at the cost of his own life, and Michael has lived with that weight every day since. His dreams often return to that final look his father gave him—not of fear, but of certainty. A message he hasn't yet fully decoded.
Force Sensitivity & Dual Lineage
The Force revealed itself in Michael during his adolescence, as if stirred awake by tragedy. But it wasn't an inheritance he immediately welcomed. It frightened him, challenged him. And worse, it tied him to another towering legacy—Jedi Master Caltin Vanagor, his great-great ancestor, and to Jedi Knight Connel Vanagor, his cousin, both legendary in their own right.
With only the barest instruction in Force techniques—enhanced speed and leaping from Caltin's lessons—Michael was thrust into a storm. Just days after his father's death, he was brought to the Order of Shiraya, placed among students far more prepared, more focused, more accepted. He wasn't trained—he was expected to adapt. What he received wasn't nurturing. It was isolation.
And he endured.
He passed the trials they didn't think he'd survive—not with brilliance, but with tenacity. With instinct. And with pain.
Struggles at Shiraya
Matched with one who turned out to be the wrong Master, a noble Jedi with his own burdens, Michael struggled to find his footing. Their communication faltered. Michael, driven by trauma and a desperate need for belonging, saw wisdom as condescension and guidance as reprimand. His wounds hadn't closed—and no one, it seemed, could see that.
He didn't want lectures.
He wanted confidence.
He wanted to stop being afraid.
He wanted to belong.
So, in a moment of reckless hope, he forged his age and entered the Naval Academy under a false identity—not to escape the Jedi, but to remind himself that he could succeed at something. That somewhere, somehow, he could build confidence brick by brick. What he found there was surprising: respect from officers like Captain Rojuhr Pouihl, encouragement from veterans who had known his father, and—perhaps most importantly—space to grow without judgment.
Character Strengths and Identity
Despite limited formal training, Michael is already a natural pilot—his instincts in the cockpit reflect not just bloodline, but lived understanding of cause and effect, fear and focus. His mind is tuned to battlefield adaptation and his heart, though scarred, is unshakably loyal to those who earn his trust.
He is emotional—but never unstable. His emotions drive his compassion, his empathy, and his desire to protect others the way no one could protect his father. He is driven not by revenge, but by the haunting need to prove that his father's death meant something.
He is not a perfect student.
He is not the most powerful Padawan.
But he is something rarer: a soul forged in grief, walking willingly toward the light.

APPEARANCE
Michael Angellus isn't the kind of person who turns heads when he enters a room—and that's exactly how he likes it. Average in height, lean in frame, he moves with the kind of effortless balance that goes unnoticed until it matters. He's athletic without trying to be, fast without fanfare, built more for movement than intimidation. He's not the biggest, not the strongest—but he's rarely where you expect him to be.
He can slip through a crowd like a ghost, pass unnoticed through checkpoints, alleyways, or a hangar full of officers. It's not stealth in the traditional sense—it's presence control. He knows how to make people look away. Or look right at him. Whichever he needs.
And part of that? It's not just training or instinct. It's blood.
Michael is part Shi'do, descended from a lineage so rare and enigmatic that even he doesn't fully understand what it means. He's not a full-blooded shapeshifter—his abilities are subtle, unpredictable, but undeniably there. Facial structure, posture, even skin tone—he can shift them just enough to make a difference. Just enough to be forgotten, or recalled as someone entirely different.
But he doesn't use it to deceive. He uses it to survive. To move unseen when necessary. To build privacy in a world that keeps asking him to be someone else.
His natural eyesight is exceptional—sharp enough to spot wing positions in a mid-atmospheric dive or a subtle twitch in an opponent's stance. Combined with his love of flying, it gives him an edge most don't see until it's too late.
He's a kid, yes. Still seventeen. Still figuring it all out. But behind the casual posture and quiet demeanor is someone built for adaptability, wired for escape, and—whether he knows it or not—evolving into something no databank can predict.

PERSONALITY
Connel Vanagor wasn't the only one to train under Jedi Master Caltin Vanagor. Though not to the same intensity or structure, Michael was a part of that quiet mentorship as well. Taught in the soft shadows of Caltin's home—less academy, more refuge—Michael learned to trust his instincts, to move with his environment, not against it.
He may not have a lightsaber, but he knows how to move. He's quick—blindingly so—and he's growing stronger with Force-assisted jumps and controlled telekinetic pulls, often summoning gear, tools, or weapons to hand before others even reach for theirs. There's finesse in him. Precision, not flash.
But not everyone encourages the path he's walking.
His mother, Alyksandra, sees another future entirely. A former holofilm actress with a sharp wit and a deep well of love for her son, she doesn't want to see Michael vanish into the thankless, ascetic grind of Jedi life. She wants more for him—choice, freedom, and maybe even a life of joy and spotlight like she once had.
Michael hears her. Respects her. Honors her love by not dismissing it. He plays along, for now—because deep down, he understands what she gave up to raise him alone.
But in truth? Michael doesn't dream of red carpets or lenses. He dreams of sky. Of cockpit glass, flashing stars, and the split-second clarity of evasive maneuvers. He was made to fly, and the stars seem to know his name.
By age sixteen, he was already checked out on a variety of ships—shuttles, starfighters, recon skiffs, mid-class freighters. Flight instructors say he doesn't fly like a cadet—he flies like someone who's always known where he belongs.
The problem is that right now, he doesn't feel that way in the Order of Shiraya, it feels like they don't want him (right or wrong). At seventeen, surrounded by older Padawans and colder Masters, Michael feels more like a name on a roster than a person being guided. No one has pulled him aside. No one has said, "You matter here." No mentor has looked him in the eye and told him he's seen.
So Michael made a decision.
If no one will build him up, he'll build himself.
If no one offers him confidence, he'll go out and earn it.
And if the Order won't help him find his place…
...he'll make one on his own terms.STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
STRENGTHS- 1. Tactical Instinct & Strategic Adaptability
In his blood, but earned through experience.- Natural combat awareness: Michael doesn't just react—he anticipates. Whether in a cockpit or in the field, he reads unfolding events like a tactician several years his senior. It's not just inherited from Admiral Liram Angellus—it's honed through survival, trauma, and watching people he cared about make split-second life-and-death decisions.
- Improvisational thinking: He doesn't rely on rehearsed solutions. Whether building a makeshift sled to drag a wounded cadet or redirecting a squad through a collapsing trail, he thrives under pressure and uncertainty.
- Rapid course correction: Michael rarely makes the same mistake twice. He learns while moving and has no fear of changing tactics when needed.
2. Force Potential: Emerging, Adaptive, and Sensitive
Raw but deep, rooted in compassion.- Enhanced reflexes & short-burst speed: Already proficient in Force-assisted speed and jumping thanks to early training with Caltin. These abilities help him close gaps, dodge strikes, or reach a vantage no one else can.
- Telekinetic accuracy: Though not flashy, he's quietly becoming precise—able to pull tools, weapons, or even support structures to himself with growing control.
- Emotional resonance in the Force: He may not consciously manipulate others through the Force, but he feels them with startling clarity—especially fear, intent, and pain. This emotional presence will eventually translate into battlefield empathy and enhanced precognition.
- Force sensitivity tied to instinct, not doctrine: His Force presence reacts to his heart first. This will eventually make him incredibly effective in field rescue, recon, and diplomacy—if he learns to master it.
- ️ 3. Pilot & Fieldcraft Excellence
Where he feels most at home—in the air or in survival mode.- Natural pilot: Able to fly nearly any small-to-mid-class ship by age 16, and showing combat-level capability in simulators and real-world drills. His spatial awareness is elite.
- Unshakable under pressure: In the cockpit, he doesn't panic. Ever. His brain slows down under threat, a rare trait.
- Wilderness survival instinct: His experience in Lianora proved he can navigate, endure, and lead in field conditions far beyond his official training. He's not polished—he's resilient.
- 4. Emotional Intelligence & Loyalty
The beating heart beneath the tactics.- Empathic awareness: Michael has a rare gift for reading people—not through trickery or subtle Force manipulation, but through observation and deep intuition. He often knows what someone needs to hear even if he doesn't always know what to say.
- Protective at his core: He doesn't walk away. Even when others do. Even when it would help him advance. That makes him a natural leader in moments that truly count.
- Carries pain, but does not weaponize it: His grief doesn't twist him. It anchors him. He is haunted, yes—but he uses it to empathize with the pain of others, not hide from it.
- 5. Identity-Based Strengths
Born from legacy—but self-shaped.- Part Shi'do heritage: Subtle shape-shifting grants him the ability to pass unnoticed or subtly change facial structure and posture. It's not overt, but it gives him the upper hand in infiltration, escape, and psychological misdirection.
- Balanced humility: He doesn't seek power or spotlight. But he also doesn't shrink from responsibility when it finds him.
- Legacy-forged resolve: Between Liram's sacrifice and Caltin's quiet faith, Michael's drive to earn his place isn't fueled by ego—it's fueled by meaning. He doesn't want to become his father or his ancestors—he wants to be worthy of their belief in him.
- Signature Strength
Michael's defining trait is his presence in the critical moment. Whether it's rescuing a wounded cadet, taking a lower score to do the right thing, or facing a trial not to pass it—but to face himself—he chooses conviction over convenience. He doesn't move first, but when he does—it's the kind of movement others rally around.
- 1. Grief-Fueled Identity Crisis
- Michael is still haunted by the image of his father's execution, a wound that's never fully closed. That trauma is layered with guilt: he didn't act, even though he wanted to.
- This grief drives him to prove himself—but it also clouds his sense of self. Is he honoring Liram… or trying to replace him?
- As a result, he defines himself through others far too often—through legacy, expectation, or perceived debt—rather than embracing who he is becoming.
- ️ 2. Lack of Formal Jedi Foundation
- Despite his talent, Michael's Force training is patchy at best—mostly learned through instinct, Caltin's early guidance, and survival situations.
- His emotional resonance with the Force is powerful… but unrefined. In high-stress moments, it can overwhelm him, muddy his clarity, or even paralyze him with empathy.
- He lacks meditation discipline, and struggles with advanced techniques like mind shielding, Force healing, or energy absorption.
- 3. Emotional Impulsiveness
- Michael leads with his heart. While this makes him loyal and selfless, it also makes him reactive.
- He sometimes places others' well-being above his own safety or mission objectives. In a crisis, he'll risk everything to protect someone else—even if it means failing the objective.
- His empathy can cloud judgment: he might trust the wrong person, hesitate at a critical moment, or second-guess orders if they feel cold or detached.
- 4. Deep-Seated Insecurity
- Beneath his growing strength lies a boy who still feels like an outsider in the Order of Shiraya.
- He hasn't been claimed or chosen until recently, and that lack of early mentorship left him emotionally adrift.
- He fears he's not "Jedi enough," not "worthy enough" of the Angellus name, not "strong enough" to deserve Caltin's attention.
- That insecurity sometimes manifests as sarcasm, self-isolation, or hesitation at key moments.
- 5. Unstable Shi'do Inheritance
- His partial Shi'do lineage gives him minor shape-shifting ability—but it's untrained and instinctual.
- He cannot always control it under duress—facial structure may shift slightly during moments of extreme emotion or fear, which unsettles others and embarrasses him.
- This subtle mutation sometimes feeds his insecurity: he feels not quite human, not quite Jedi, and not quite stable.
6. Fear of Becoming a Symbol- Michael dreads being elevated as the next Vanagor, or the last Angellus, or a child of prophecy. He doesn't want to become another statue in a temple.
- Ironically, this fear makes him push back against leadership, praise, or the spotlight—even when he's earned it.
- He'll sabotage himself at times just to remain "real" in his own eyes.
