personality
hyper & positive;; Mikey is the kind of guy you don’t want to give an energy drink. Even when he’s drunk, he’s pretty crazy. He’s always excited about everything and it’s super hard to ruin his mood. Being the oldest of his group of friends, he’s kind of like the wise happy grandad or something. He always makes them stay positive and hands out advice. Lumiere loves this and that’s probably why they get along so well.

sociable & charismatic;; Being an only child, Mikey always hated being alone. He’d never pass up a chance to go out with friends or even make new friends. When Lumiere appeared, he took it in to stride and made sure to become best friends with the dude. Obviously it would be terrible to not like some who’s in your head all the time right? He even learned a lot form the former candlestick especially about being more likable and how to get out of awkward and potentially bad situations. He also helped Mikey learn how to lure the girls in which Mikey wasn’t as good at as he’d like to think.

a nerd;; Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Star Trek, you name it and he has seen it, read it and maybe even dressed up as it. (For Halloween only of course.) His love for sci-fi shows a lot in his style but not in a flashy way. He likes to collect graphic tees of superheroes and comic books. The little action figures he used to collect have long since been sold because they started to freak him out being that his personification used to be an inanimate object. He won’t try to force Marvel down your throat but he’ll definitely go see the Avengers with you.

romantic;; Though most of his fascination with romance was brought on by the appearance of Mr. Candlestick, Mikey was guilty of watching rom-coms and admiring his crushes from a far. Of course the Flame of Love wouldn’t stand for this and put him through romancing boot camp (including some awkward situations) that had the girls of Lacoste eating out of his hand. He wouldn’t go into detail if you asked him but he did have a lot of fun during the summer. Even with that being said, he never forgot a certain special girl at home. Even if he did have no idea if she liked him or not.

sensitive;; He’s one to pick up on someones bad mood or broken heart faster than others. He loves to turn someone’s mood around or just talk it out. Mikey finds apathy rude and will never stop caring for the ones closest to him. He hates fighting and tends to be the mediator in situations between friends. That being said, sometimes he jumps into fights that aren’t his and takes the fall for someone else.

past
Joshua and Melanie were young but in love. Even when they both had the gene for hemophilia, they didn’t think twice about giving up having kids. Instead, they adopted and were happy they did. A bouncing baby Michael was really what they needed to fix the feeling of an empty home. He filled up every corner with light and energy. Even if playing with a toddler was dangerous for Mikey’s dad he still got down on the floor and tumbled every now and them. Mikey learned quickly not to be to rough on daddy and help him whenever he could. It was safe to say that Mikey grew up fast. He learned to be sensitive and caring from his mother. He also learned to be strong from his father.

Going to a real school was hard for Mikey. He was seen as the weak link and was bullied a lot. The kids thought he was weird for wanting to hang out with the girls and talk instead of wrestling with the boys. The bullies taught him that not everyone was fragile like his father and some needed a firm hand to get his point across. The day he stood up to a bully really turned things around for him. He began to finally get some real friends and as the rest of bros said, “Man up.” He was still the most caring and senstive of the group but he was a leader also.

Being the caring person he was, Mikey immediately decided to donate blood at 16. He didn’t really have any high hopes seeing as his father had hemophillia. When the test came back completely clean and a pint of his blood was being shipped off to some freezer in a hospital, Mikey had tons of questions. His parents had neglected to tell him he was adopted and their relatives in France were actually his birth family. Cue rage fest of teenage rebellion. Mikey didn’t completely loose it but he moved into the dorms of Baum instead of staying with his family like they’d planned. He completely cut off communication with them for six months of his junior year.

present
Senior year Mikey finally cracked. He visited his parents and told them of his plan where he would visit his birth family after graduation. Mikey wasn’t heartless and he couldn’t just dissappear without them knowing but he would go even if they disagreed. They didn’t, however, and instead gave Mikey the rest of the funds he needed. Joshua even contacted Mikey’s birth family to make arrangements. He stayed with them for a year in Lacoste. That year he underwent a huge cultural shock. The air of France awoke Lumiere and the prospect of having ten older siblings almost overwhelmed him but didn’t. He was really happy to find out he’d never be alone.

Mikey has just returned to the Big Apple and made plans to attend Barrie University as a psych major. He wasn’t exactly sure what he’d do with the degree but who really knew what their future held? He really just wanted to get back to his parents and his makeshift family in New York. Though his birth siblings were nice, nobody could replace his bros.

Mikey’s Birth Family -- Mikey recently found out he was adopted. On a whim, we went to meet his birth family. Being an only child his entire life, he wasn’t prepared for what he’d find. Ten brothers and sisters were there to greet him when he arrived. Half of them already had a family of their own. His birth parents were crying when the saw him and by the looks of their packed house, they were barely making it. Mikey forgave his birth parents easily and stayed with them for nearly a year before coming back to New York.

other notes Mikey is a sucker for romance stories but won’t admit it.
