Michael

Michael Reed Ackroyd is the current Guardian of Ice and the Guardians' resident thaumaturge. He acts as primary field agent for the team as well as the voice of reason, trying to hold the team together. He, however, often fails in that regard.

Powers
Being the Guardian of Ice, he has the ability to manipulate both water (and liquids containing it) and (negative) thermal energy, allowing him to essentially create ice out of thin air. He does not have as great control of his powers as some of the others, but more than makes up for that weakness with his mastery of the magical arts. He views his Guardianship as an accident, and that he should have been born a mage instead of growing up as an elemental.

Personality
He is often very chill, but when an adventure is on the horizon, very enthusiastic. He cares very much about the others, and often feels as if it is his fault if they come to harm. he views it as his job to care, and despises anyone who is cruel or unsympathetic. A closet perfectionist, he often views his creations as imperfect and failures. The only exemptions from this are his constructs, whom he views as his children. When not messing around with magic or the other Guardians, he spends time with his cats or games with his peeps online, or eats. He has a massive sweet tooth.

Combat Style
When in combat he uses a combination of weapons (most often bladed weapons as he views them as elegant) and magitech devices of his own creation (see Sliver Rifle). he views combat as a challenge and thoroughly enjoys it, as long as it doesn't endanger his family.

Physically he is very weak, as he hates sports, preferring to be "the nature guy". He is further weakened by his adrenal fatigue, a condition that affects his adrenal glands, significantly reducing his energy levels. This makes sustained physical activity difficult.

Creations
Under the Guardians Mansion Michael built what was essentially a hidden workshop, which he filled with crystal devices, prototypes of his magitech creations. His constructs are called Val "Valkyrie", Saphira "Seraphimina" and Fenrir "Fenrisulfr".
