[b]Wardrobe Style (Fairy Tale World):[/b]
Flynn’s outfit is fairly normal for the Fairy Tale World. He tends to wear more regal looking clothing, such as [url=http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=35828208]this[/url] or [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/98/21/4a/98214a80bc84ae1e5e43aa2a26bc3a17.jpg]this[/url]. He mainly gets clothes like this through stealing them and then wearing a cloak over them, but since it makes him look more royal, no one tends to mess with him after that. When he is thieving, though, he has a slightly different, more manageable [url=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101114183929/livingpf/images/3/35/Thief_by_natalialefay-d2yioa6.jpg]look[/url] to him that allows him to make his way around the castle or mansions and get away with most anything. The only thing he does not wear from that picture is the sword on his side. He prefers knives to the common sword.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Ever since he was a young child, Michael, or rather Flynn as he prefers to be called now, was extremely adventurous, which he mainly got from his brother John. He was very impressionable as a child and still is as an adult today. As himself now, he is quite charming and has learned the ability to charm a few bartenders to get more drinks that he can pay for. Just the same, he is quite a narcissist, always making sure that his appearance is on point so he can be charming for the ladies.

He cares a lot for his family. His remaining family anyways. He is devoted to John and helping John get through this dry spell with the England royalty and all of the money they require to be able to live in England anymore. He is also stubborn when it comes to changing his ways about thieving (John knows what he does). Observation is a key component with any good thief and Flynn is no exception to the rule, though he can sometimes be a show off when it comes to a heist. The one thing that Flynn does not possess though is balance. He can be quite clumsy at times, falling off rooftops, slipping on steps, all the normally things. But underneath all of his armor of emotions, he is quite sensitive and would do anything for his family, even if it meant dying for them.  

[b]Strengths:[/b] 
Because he is a thief, Flynn is quite fit and agile, which makes it hard to catch him or even shoot him with arrows. He is light-footed, which makes it easy for him to sneak from place to place and he isn’t so much of a show off that he gets caught. 

[b]Weaknesses:[/b]
Since he is quite clumsy, if he is doing a heist at night, it can be his downfall, though he tries to get out before the person he is stealing from wakes up. Since he is impressionable still, he can be impressed by money and wealth and be tricked into doing whatever someone wants, if it keeps his family afloat in the hard times in England. 

[b]Magic Capabilities:[/b]
Flynn has no magical capabilities. 

[b]Weapons:[/b]
Flynn keeps knives in sheaths on his forearms as well as one in his boot. 

[b]Brief Biography (Life In The Fairy Tale World):[/b]
Michael’s upbringing was similar to Wendy’s, since they are brother and sister. Their father kept them trapped in the house, but Michael suffered eight years less that what Wendy did. Michael didn’t mind being kept indoors much because he would listen with much intensity to Wendy’s stories and he would play Pirates or some other game with his brother. He cared a lot for his family and didn’t care about the outside world. He had all that he needed inside of that house. He cared for Nana like she was one of the family and it hit him the hardest when Wendy stopped coming out of her room. 

He would sit outside her door for hours on end, begging her to come out and tell them stories or play games with them, but, as teenagers do, she would just sulk in her room. He was about six at the time and he didn’t quite understand that the outside world was important in a child’s growth as it was. Wendy had tried to explain it to him many times, but he never understood, so she gave up and stopped talking to him through the door. He hated it and he would have different spurts of emotions, going through mood swing after mood swing, to try and get her out of her room. 

Then came the day of the storm on the sea. 

Michael and John were both in the cabin when the storm hit and their father locked them in so the doors would not blow open and they would not be lost. They stared through the portholes in horror as their parents were knocked off and drowned while Wendy was swept away by the sea. Michael was specifically affected because he was so young. John did his best to comfort his brother, but it was no use. The storm calmed down and they climbed aboard, sobbing, in tears, not talking to the other one. John, having spent most of the time on the boat rides with his father at the till, got the boat back to shore and they got off and headed for the house to pack up their bags. 

They had no extended family, so they were sent to an orphanage. John didn’t like it much, but Michael, with his adventurous spirit, just took it as another adventure. He began to play with the younger boys, playing Pirates and retelling all of Wendy’s stories. That’s when he came across a book called [i]The Tales of Finnegan Ryder[/i]. Because he was the only boy who could read at the orphanage, he would read these stories every night to the younger children and it go him thinking about what he could do with all that money. He could anywhere he walked to go. He could be anything he wanted to be, and now that seemed like the best option for him. 

They were not adopted, but when his brother was eighteen and he was fourteen, his brother gained his inheritance and bought back the house and adopted his brother again. But those stories still stuck in his mind. When he started thieving, it was small at first. He would steal bread from bakeries, meat from the butchers, food for the poor, starving children at the orphanage, and deliver it to them. Then the inheritance money began to run out, and that’s when Michael went after the big game: the people who lived in mansions all over England. 

He stole money for him and his brother, just enough to keep them afloat with John’s low paying job. John learned of him sneaking out at night and warned him against it, but Michael did not listen. He was never caught and he wasn’t worried, until one night, he stole away into a mansion and a light suddenly shined on him. He was asked for his name, and, in a panic, he told them, “My name is Flynn Ryder” before disappearing back out the window, and thus Flynn Ryder was born, and Michael Darling began sinking back into the dust. 

But that was not the biggest change in his life. He had heard stories about an infamous band of thieves led by the legendary Robin Hood deep in the Moors. They did exactly as he did, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, and he knew that that was his calling. He set out immediately to find them, hoping they would allow him to join their ranks. But he never found them. They found him. He had been wandering the forest for days and was half starved when one of the Merry Men found him. He took him back to the camp and gave him a meal and asked what he was doing out there. Flynn explained and the man just laughed. He told Flynn that he had finished his journey and that all that he needed to do was be accepted by Robin Hood, the leader of the camp. Robin, seeing all the good that Flynn had done through his thieving, was quick to admit him into the ranks. 

He has been thieving with the bandits for almost four full years now, and he loves it, especially when he gets to go to other parts of the fairy tale world.
