CANON POINT. 4x04, "Dear Billy"
AGE. 15.
HOUSING. Usually in the projection room of LuxFilms. Sometimes in his car. Occasionally in a shitty motel when he can't get a shower anywhere else.
JOB. Janitor at LuxFilms, where he cleans unspeakable stains off of the seats and eats popcorn for most of his meals.
VEHICLE. Crown Victoria police car. in pretty abysmal shape. The siren and lights sometimes go off for no reason, and it smells permanently like cigarettes. Mostly foisted upon him as a joke to remind him of his girlfriend's dead cop dad who hated him.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

5'11", but probably loses an inch due to his permanent slouch. Posture? Don't even know her. Most of his height seems to be taken up by his legs, which were once described as looking "like someone put a rock in a tube sock and it got stuck halfway down." In addition to his height he's painfully skinny, with the apparent BMI of Slenderman. His hair started off regrettable, but has since turned into something that looks like it might house rats. His fashion is fairly "apathetic teen boy dressing himself", and consists mostly of a small rotation of ratty jeans, sweatshirts, and t-shirts he's found secondhand. No, he doesn't know that one of his shirts advertises a sex shop. Please don't tell him.
Mike's voice sounds like this. About 90% of the time his tone is a shifting blend of whiny, urgent, and pissed-off, unless your name happens to rhyme with Bill or Gel. He tends to smell like a mix of popcorn (from work), cigarettes (from his car), and boy sweat (self-explanatory). Yes, he owns deodorant. Yes, he sometimes loses track of it while living out of a movie theater ceiling. And no, he doesn't wash his clothes often, stop asking.
Mike's personality is abrasive, especially to people he doesn't know and doesn't want to know. Don't take it personally - he will likely be rude to your character at first, and for little while if they don't 1) need his help, or 2) somehow immediately prove themselves trustworthy. This is especially true for adults, who he might be downright hostile to for the first few meetings, and getting positive CR will take patience. The longer he's here in Diadem, getting accustomed to the setting and becoming more used to not being home, the less hostile he will probably get in his interactions. Right now though, he has the attitude of a cat being given medicine.
