[edit] Character Overview
"It all started with the nightmares..."
Mykal Tannan, otherwise known to his followers as Servant 12, is a deeply religious man who has been chosen by God for a mission of great importance. With few clues and even less direction, Mykal must first locate, and then bring together twelve unknown but very special people who have been marked with a symbol of divine fate. No one knows who these people are, where they may be, or what might happen should Mykal succeed in finding them...but it almost certainly bodes ill for the rest of mankind. Driven only by his belief in God and his own visions, Mykal works every day against the forces of evil that plague Paragon City, hoping that each new battle will bring him one step closer to finding another one of the Twelve...
[edit] Character History
[edit] Early Life
[edit] College Career
Mykal Tannan, simply put, is a genius. School never truly posed a great challenge for him, with mastery of each and every subject coming as easily as the straight 'A's he earned every year. By the time he was in seventh grade, he was already taking college-level courses, and he earned his first bachelor's degree in bioengineering from Paragon City University at the same time that he earned his high school diploma. Notice came quickly and eagerly from nearly every top-class college and university in the nation, and Mykal had his pick of schools at which to receive a free ivy-league education. Choosing to attend MIT, Mykal earned his first PhD in physics by the age of seventeen and quickly began working on a second.
While his intellect and drive allowed him to achieve any academic goal he desired, Mykal never really fit in at public school, PCU or MIT. The effortlessness of his academic success, coupled with his devout dedication to his Christian faith, provided a source of resentment and ridicule for him at almost every turn. Needless to say, Mykal rarely got along with people during his scholastic days; as a result, he poured himself almost exclusively into his studies, which provided him an escape. Mykal tended to look down on most of his classmates at school, especially those who did not take it seriously. He was also possessed of a tendency towards arrogance and pomposity; the young genius had a constant need to prove that he was the best and the smartest, and he wasn't shy about letting people know that they weren't even in his league. People either admired him or despised him; for most, the latter was often the case.

[edit] Leadership Style
For the first couple of months after taking command of the Millennium Paladins, Servant 12 had a very 'hands-on' management approach. Determined to succeed in his God-given mission and being more than a little perfectionist, Servant became very heavily involved in the day to day running of the group. Shortly thereafter, the Paladins went through their first of many 'reduction periods', suffering inactivity and a falling away of the majority of their members. Viewing this as a failure on his part, Servant determined to alter his approach. With typical faith, he gave up on worrying about every single detail, instead deciding to rely on God for guidance. In the following years, as he continually recruited new members into the Paladins, Twelve was able to handpick certain individuals to act as officers. Although he has often still been forced to shoulder most of the leadership responsibilities for the MPs, in recent years he has not been reluctant to delegate certain tasks to such individuals as Kuragari Umbra, Vic Furious, and even the mysterious Aegirian Templar. In spite of this, there is no doubt that Twelve remains the heart, soul, and mind of the group - whenever he is absent for any period of time, the drive and activity level of the entire group drops off noticeably.

[edit] Work At PCU
Mykal Tannan has a position at Paragon City University as a part-time faculty member in the Applied Religion Department. He regularly gives lectures to students in either the Workman Room or the nearby Tannan Room, so named due to the fact that it was constructed with funds that he himself donated to the cause. Mykal was one of the influential individuals responsible for the revival of the dwindling Humanities Department at PCU, which had atrophied considerably as a result of the school's focus on establishing a top-notch Sciences Department. The Humanities Department had not enjoyed the same support and aggressive fundraising engine that the Science Department had, leaving it up to generous and passionate donors like Mykal and influential groups like the Midnight Squad to bring it back up to specs in the last few decades.
[edit] Equipment
Despite having no superpowers of his own, Mykal Tannan's engineering genius has provided his alter ego, Servant 12, with an impressive arsenal of technological devices. These powerful tools have allowed Servant 12 to go head-to-head with every known villain group in Paragon City on numerous occasions, and emerge victorious every time.
[edit] UGD-1 Gauntlets
The most commonly-used item in Servant 12's arsenal, the UGD-1 wrist gauntlets are an integral piece of his equipment in every one of his numerous combat configurations. Whether he is armed for close combat, ranged combat, or defensive actions, the intricate UGD-1s are capable of controlling any and all of Servant 12's various personal battle systems. The UGD-1s feature an adaptive electronic interlink system that can automatically reconfigure the operating software to accommodate whichever gear combination Servant is wearing at the time, and provide universal control for his emergency medical and tactical teleportation systems. When worn with any of Mykal's personal battlesuits, the gauntlets are capable of drawing upon the suit's batteries and generating an electrical charge, allowing Servant 12 to channel high-voltage electrical current into his hand-to-hand attacks.
