Michael is an Archangel and a character in the Blue Exorcist fanfiction "Black Heaven".
History
Michael is not only an Archangel, but he is also the first Angel in existence and the first sentient being to be created by God.
Michael bore witness to the creation of his younger kin and the universe itself.
When God created humanity, Michael was the very first angel in all of Heaven to bow down to them.
Over time, Michael's younger brother, Lucifer, grew jealous of God's attention for humanity. Of His love for them over his angels. Lucifer eventually declared a rebellion against God and lead an army against Heaven, to which Michael retaliated with his own army.
Michael eventually won and, with a heavy heart, cast his own brother Lucifer into Hell. Over the centuries, Lucifer began to go under the name Satan.
Michael went to the earth multiple times over the millennia. He empowered Sampson, taught exorcism to humans, and even helps people fight off demonic possession. He was also present for the battle of Sodom and Gomorrah along with Gabriel.
Michael has also gone to Assiah as an exorcist to get connections with the True Cross.

Personality
Michael has two very different sides to his personality. The first is a very mature serious personality while the other is quite playful, as seen when he teased his younger siblings in front of their class.
He mostly reveals the mature side when fighting against a demon.
Appearance
Michael has golden eyes and hair. He wears a black shirt, grey pants, and white shoes. He also wears the symbol of the True Cross as a necklace. Lastly, Michael has twelve snow white wings.
Equipment
Michael has a sword that has a very unusual ability. Upon Michael uttering the words "Scatter, Divine Punishment", the sword scatters into feathers. Somehow, this allows Michael to deliver several blows to his opponents.
Unique Abilities
Michael is known as the Archangel of Justice, Strength, and Loyalty.
Justice
Michael is the chief authority in Heaven. When an angel is accused of committing a crime that goes against angelic law, Michael acts as their judge, jury, and if they are found guilty, executioner. Michael is the only angel with the power to cast another angel out of Heaven.
Strength
Michael is the strongest angel in Heaven, not just physically, but psychologically. Michael never forms attachments to humans. As a result, he is the only Archangel not to kill a human when it was against orders.
Physical Strength
Michael was able to cast Satan out of Heaven, however, this was not done single-handedly. The other Archangels ambushed Satan first, yet in the long hall, Michael was able to cast Satan into Hell where he would remain for eternity.
Exorcism
Michael is often called upon in prayers for exorcisms. This is because during an exorcism, Michael actually gives the possessed party the strength to cast the demon out themselves.
Loyalty
Michael is the most loyal angel with his only resolve being to please God. While the other Archangels have all disobeyed God in one form or another, Michael has never strayed from God's path. Because of this, God rewards Michael with Godlike abilities whenever the need arises.
Pyrokinesis
Michael is the master of Holy Fire. When Creation was finished, God allowed the Archangels to divide the universe among themselves. Michael, being the oldest, took Heaven. Meanwhile, Raphael took the sky, Uriel took the land and sun, Gabriel took the sea and stars, and Satan drew the shortest straw and took Gehenna. Because Michael took Heaven, he has unlimited access to all of Heaven's powers and weapons, including Holy Fire.
In fact, Archangels must channel their power from Michael to get their own access to Holy Fire. Michael has the option to cut them off at any time.
Ironically, it was because Satan lost his power to use Holy Fire that he slowly taught himself mastery of the blue flames over his centuries in Gehenna.
Trivia
- Michael's name translates to the rhetorical question, "Who is like God?".
