Mikkel's story starts when Karl (Kalle to his friends) Sorensen, then a Ph.D student trying to prove to his farming family that he could make something of himself as an academic, accepted a drunken dare to jump off a roof into a deceptively shallow pile of snow. After being rushed to the ER with a broken leg and under heavy anesthetics, he saw the woman who was to become his wife: Ingrid (Inga to her friends) Bergstrom. The two flirted heavily during his hospital stay, dated, and married within a year. After finishing his thesis, Kalle took a teaching post in UmeÃ¥, where Inga gave birth to their only child.

Kalle had a love of hosting parties, and Mikkel was a popular fixture at many faculty get-togethers. A quiet but friendly child, it was a few years before he started enjoying the company of other children, rather than adults. Rather chubby growing up, he seemed just at home playing in his father's study as he was on walks through the woods with his mother. Being a university town, Umea exposed him to people from a variety of backgrounds and places.

When he was 14, his father was offered a job at the University of Minnesota. Thinking this might be a good experience for his son, he packed up the family and moved to Minneapolis. It took him a while to make friends, as most other kids seemed intimidated by his size and accent. While he wasn't bullied outright, he was the target of many rumors. His passive and quiet nature turned into an aloof stoicism; although friendly and a little sarcastic once he got to know someone, penetrating his walls was difficult and most people didn't bother to try. He kept the same small group of friends all through high school, who generally tended to fall on the outskirts of the social hierarchy for whatever reason.

At some point during the next 3 years he had taken up running. It began as something to stave off the boredom and grew into a coping mechanism for years to come. Having felt limited and disadvantaged by his body all his life, he started forming a connection to it through running, listening only to his breathing, using that time to get out of his head and look at things more subjectively. For the first time, he started enjoying physical activity. While weight loss wasn't really his goal, it was a not-entirely-unwanted consequence.

After high school, Mikkel was pressured by his father to pursue an academic career like he had. With Karl's connections at the university, he was almost guaranteed acceptance, but he was growing bored with Minnesota and the conservative attitudes he was surrounded by. He applied to NYU with vague intentions - his grades were good, but he had trouble deciding on a major, wavering between history, sociology, and science. After two years, he realized he was wasting his time and dropped out, taking a series of clerical jobs to support himself while he decided what the rest of his life would be about. He entered community college and got a Paralegal diploma mostly just until something better came along, but he did have an interest in law having grown up with his father's penchant for logic and systems. He's been working in law firms ever since.

Personality:

Mikkel comes off as rather distant, if not altogether withdrawn. Although he is polite and well-spoken, he keeps the details of his personal life to himself; this leads some people to see him as uncaring or gruff. In fact, Mikkel is quite a charitable person to those that know him well. He can sometimes be seen sneaking into the back alley to feed stray cats, or giving change to panhandlers when nobody is looking. He keeps his promises as much as he can, but he rarely volunteers his help when people didn't ask him for it

In spite of what may be expected from a man of his stature and build, he dislikes confrontation and prefers to stay out of people's arguments, even those concerning him. He dislikes the fact that people assume he has a short temper before even talking to him; in reality, it takes a lot to make him mad; although he is often frustrated, he rarely shows it as he doesn't want to play into people's perceptions of him.

Having never really found his passion in life, he goes from day to day hoping tomorrow will bring a revelation of meaning, or at the very least something out of the ordinary. A part of him finds comfort in routine, another is deeply afraid of taking chances and assuming responsibility, and it's questionable whether he is aware of both of those parts.

Abilities/Special: He just happens to be at the center of a physics-bending cosmic improbability vortex. This translates into the uncanny frequency with which things fall onto him from the sky. These include ham sandwiches, staples, frogs, and occasionally freak weather events. Even more interestingly, nobody seems to notice this.
