Charaters in Mac One - Firstborn

The Protagonist: Michael Adam Cooper, aka: Mac

Michael Adam Cooper: Mac is his nickname that he has chosen. In book I, he is still in his mother’s womb and has the ability to communicate telepathically. He has a very developed sense of humor. (Watched "I Love Lucy" reruns) Facts rule. Theories or assumptions are useful tools that help lead to a proven fact. He loves science and learning. Of course he is naive in his view of life because he has no practical experience with the real world except what he receives through radio waves and television. While still in his mother's womb he has a keen sense of "I am" and  knows that he is the next step in man’s evolution, a Homo Novus. He enjoys communication with others and is not shy at all, with a high level of confidence. He loves music, mathematics, (digital, not so much analog), and people. He knows the difference between good and evil. Mac is on the side of good. Mac has a strong love for his parents and grandmother. He is somewhat lonely because there is no one like him in the world, and he develops a longing for someone on his level of intelligence and understanding in which to communicate.  

In book II Mac enters the real world and continues to develop and discover his abilities. Mac has no one to teach him about his abilities, like a mother and father would teach a child to walk, talk, count and read. When he realizes that he has a certain ability, Mac has to test, explore and learn how best to use the ability. Mac becomes a celebrity, a evolutionary prince, if you will. Soon the whole world knows that he exists and the world is hungry to know more about this child phenomenon. Some have a deep fear of him and how he will change the world.

Does not have the ability to love others, but he can pretend to care if it can get him closer to his goal. He is driven by his self-love and his desire for power. It’s not that he hates people; it’s just that he believes he has the answer to everything and he is far superior to the common person. He is very intelligent.
