Michael Faden

Description
Michael Faden is Dr. Kennedy's assistant, as well as a diplomat between the Kennedy and Cathy families. As a member of the Fadens, he has inherited the familial quirk of controlled luck (manipulation of probability), though his use is mostly passive and more protective than manipulative, due to little experimentation or desire to weaponize the trait.

Michael is generally easy going, and laid back with an upbeat cheer. He gets along very well with nearly everyone he encounters, though he is seen as a little naive or silly at times. Michael is not particularly gifted cerebrally like many of the Institute's members, but his effortless charisma and sweet nature have endeared him to many people, serving him well in his position as a diplomat.

Physical Descripton
Michael is tall (6'5) and has tanned skin. He has dark brown hair with chunky highlights, and is rarely clean shaven, usually sporting a bit of stubble. He's muscular, athletic, and enjoys boxing with Mika Brighton. He normally is wearing black or white tanktops, and sweatpants, with chunky dad sneakers.
