"Dwat!"
- ―Silver's grunt
Ultraman Silver is an Ultra who utilizes the Soul Coins against evils looking to harness the power of the Lapis Sun.
Personality[]
Silver, or rather Michael Hill is seemingly all a hero shouldn't be. He's too afraid of taking risks and cannot handle social pressure, often choosing to hide from his problems rather than facing them head-on.
Since being entrusted with the power and responsibility of being an Ultraman, his life has taken a path he's never imagined himself in. To learn to be a hero, Michael first has to learn to believe, to believe in himself and those around him.
He is not very talkative, though not antisocial either and when forced to get something done, he wants it done right and done fast. He also harbours a deep respect for the members of T.B.O.S. for their efforts, something that ultimately convinces him to start working for them.
History[]
Before Ultraman Silver[]
Michael Hill grew up living a fairly normal life in Massachusetts New England. He had a fair share of friends and his parents deeply cared for him. Life seemed perfectly fine until one day the unexpected happened.
A rampaging Silvergon showed up and wrecked havoc across the city. The existence of kaiju was common knowledge worldwide but never had any of them actively assaulted a city. Michael was only 14 and coming home from school during the attack, people were panicking, screams of horror eachoed across the city.
Michael called his parents to inform them of his location, taking shelter in a gas station in a part of the city the monster had ignored. They picked him up as fast as they could and fled the city with everybody else. During all this, Michael watched as the pilots of T.B.O.S. rushed to the scene and threw themselves into battle, eventually driving off the monster. This birthed a deep appreciation for the pilots in young Michael's mind, one that he would carry with him for years to come.
Ultraman Silver[]
Fast forward 9 years and Michael, now having graduated from college with an MFA in graphic design, has returned to his home city of Massachusetts.
At the time Michael was unemployed and his family was facing financial issues, so they decided to back some quick profit by selling an old family relic to a pawn store. The relic consisted of a rusty silver pandant with a small red gem, they didn't know what sort of mineral it was and simply hoped it was at least somewhat valuable.
The pawn store owner, unfamiliar with the type of gem decided to call an expert and put Michael on hold until he had a good idea of what it was worth. During his drive back home, Michael noticed the gemstone began to faintly flash, though he didn't think much of it, at least until the flashing got faster and louder, at which point he was starting to get paranoid.
When arriving home, he was met with something he didn't expect, a tall blond woman in a suit asked him to come with her for interrogation. He initially resisted, but the sight of her gun made him change his mind, coming with her. During their drive to god knows where, she asked for the pendant, ripping it from the chain attached to it and scanning it, seemingly confirming her suspicions on something. She then went on to explain she works for T.B.O.S. and that the pawn store owner was in fact a spy, set up by them to inform them on suspicious behaviour, mostly people trying to profit off crashed alien tech.
As if things couldn't get much worse, their drive was interrupted with the sudden appearance of a giant monster that pursued their vehicle. Unable to outrun it, the woman called for reinforcements and a squad of armoured vehicles quickly appeared to fend off the monster, although it was clear they were nothing more than nuisances compared to it.
She then phoned HQ to receive clearance for... something. The woman stopped the car and commanded Michael to stay in, she then stepped out and thrust the pendant mid-air, anticipating something to happen, but she simply stood there with her first in the sky. At that point, Michael couldn't be any more confused.
The woman made one last attempt to activate the strange device but failed again, the monster continued its assault, attempting to incinerate the woman with a fireball, Michael acted quickly and pushed her out of the way, accidentally flinging the pendant out of her hand in the process, she made another attempt to grab onto it, but to everyone's surprise it... gravitated towards Michael? Before he could realize it, the pendant was bound to him, transforming into a gauntlet as everyone stared in awe, save from the monster that was thankfully distracted by gunfire. He made desparate attempts to take it off but when a stray fireball shot towards him, the bracer put up a shield to protect Michael. Shocked, he placed his hand on its crimson crystal, though he did not intend it to, the bracer activated, transforming Michael... into Ultraman Silver.
Now on equal terms with his gigantic foe, Michael tried to assault it instinctively, the adrenaline boost he had received triggered his fight or flight response and the only option was fight. Though his punches were sloppy and his movements unprofessional, Michael successfully drove off the monster after delivering a powerful chop to the neck. With that he blacked out, reverting to his human form and finding himself in a T.B.O.S. secret base upon waking up.
After hours of interrogation by the same woman that had attempted to transform into Silver herself, numerous tests to remove the bracer from him -all of which failed- and a show around their HQ by several different members, Michael was offered to join them, seeing that he was the only person who the pendant had successfully interracted with. In truth, they'd been hunting it down for decades. At first he refused, insisting that they remove the gauntlet and return him to his normal lifestyle, a sudden attack on the HQ by the same monster he had driven off brought upon him a dilemma. It was clear that the monster was after the gauntlet and by extension himself, he could either watch as the T.B.O.S. tries its best to fight, risking countless of lives in the process and even defeat or manning up and fighting.
He didn't have much time to think, though to him it seemed like eons, but Michael eventually agreed to take on the mantle of Silver, just this once. Casey Baker, lead scientist of the team presented to him a room full of giant weaponry that they had linked the gauntlet to and he could summon at will.
Having made up his mind, Michael transformed and engaged in combat with the ferocious beast. This time Michael fought much more seriously, using the knowledge he had gathered from two decades worth of watching action movies in an attempt to fend off the monster, ripping off one of his tusks in the process. During the fight, he noticed that the gauntlet seemed to react to the severed tusk, as he placed it next to the red gem he saw it get sucked in, with the texture of the crystal shifting to a gelatinous one for just a second. Michael, or rather Silver felt a heated sensation in his arms and began to lob and throw fireballs at his opponent, weakening it just enough for him to summon one of his weapons, the Long Range Tactical Arrow, a bow-like weapon with a grip that unleashed an arrow projectile to pierce through the monster's chest, killing it in an instant.
After reverting to his human form he was returned to T.B.O.S.'s HQ where he agreed to working for the team until the gauntlet could be removed from him. In an attempt to change his mind, Licia showed him a news report of people thanking the "silver giant". Michael felt uncomfortable with so many kind words about him, though he did enjoy them and simply said he would "think about it".
With his first adventure done, Michael was conflicted, but he did have one question: how come after all those decades in his family's possession, just now did the pendant attract a monster?
