Beyond The Veil
VBC94 for Micah Devereaux
[Lead Ensemble Role]
Micah is the reluctant heir of a broken legacy...the only son of a once-feared Tenebrian tyrant, now gone. Where his father ruled with cruelty and chaos, Micah yearns for nothing more than peace. However, peace is hard to maintain when the world views your bloodline as a threat.
Micah's big heart, awkwardness, and emotional intelligence often lead to being misunderstood. He’s a protector by instinct, soft-spoken until pushed, and constantly battling between grief and inherited rage. He never asked to lead a sect, and he never hated the Lichterians—even when they took his father away. His heart harbors no hatred, and his love partner Morrigan, hates this about him.
Micah’s emotional range stretches from sincere softness to devastating anger. He’s not cruel—but he could be, if he stopped holding back.
