Personality

There are some utility classes in the CSS:

Appearance

Michael has grown to be fairly preppy since starting at Blackwell, thanks to the influence of his friends in the Vortex Club. This version of Michael has brown, slicked-back hair, brown eyes, and wears contact lenses instead of glasses.

Life is Weird (Redshift)

When prime Michael jumps into this timeline in Redshift, Mike's main outfit is a pair of off-white jeans, black converse and a blue sweater with a mustard v-neck collar. This shirt was given to him by his boyfriend, Rich Goranski. He wears a desaturated red varsity-like jacket, with a folded-over collar. The collar, cuffs, pockets, and bottom trim are white with two thin stripes on everything but the pockets. This jacket is very similar to the one prime Rich wears, though there are visual differences, and canonically they are not the same jacket.

Mike has one tattoo on his right inner forearm, a linework Pacman-themed tattoo mirroring Jeremy's (a Pacman eating some dots and going for a ghost). He also has two ear piercings, though only wears one set of earrings at the moment.


Promises

Background

Similar to the main timeline, Mike grew up in Arcadia, New Jersey alongside Jeremy Heere, Rich Goranski, Chloe Valentine, and others. In 2012, his family moves to upstate New York for one of his mothers' jobs. This timeline splits off from prime a few days before the move in 2012, when Leah Heere does not die in a car accident going to pick up Peter Heere. Mike still leaves for upstate New York, but his connection with Jeremy is not as severed as it could have been.

2012 to 2015

Mike and Jeremy stay in touch more often here, sending emails, texts, and trying to play video games together when they can. Though they stay in contact, Mike still slowly drifts as he gets more involved with his life and studies in New York. Ever the outcast, Mike doesn't make many friends, but he does manage to have a small group who like him and will hang out.


2015 to 2017

In 2015, Mike is notified of Jeremy's sudden passing, and he and his mothers drive down to attend the boy's funeral back in Arcadia. During this trip, he reconciles with Rich Goranski, and the two exchange phone numbers to keep in contact— something Mike is wary about at first. However, as the two keep talking, Mike realises that Rich was being sincere in wanting to start over and become friends, and he starts to let his guard down.


Redshift

Five years after moving, Mike is accepted into Blackwell Academy's special 2-year seniors program. Despite not quite wanting to go back to Arcadia, Mike doesn't pass up the opportunity to study photography at the country's top course. THough with his only friend Jeremy now out of the picture, Michael flounders for a while. He has no friends, and barely knows anyone since he's been out of town for so long. He mostly keeps to himself, until Rich and Chloe offer him an olive branch of friendship– which he graciously accepts. He's slowly introduced to the Vortex Club, which he rises to the top of by being close with Rich and Chloe.


Powers

This Michael never discovers his Rewind powers naturally, and only displays their abilities when possessed[1] by prime Michael.

Consequences

When using too much of his power at once or for too long, Michael gets nosebleeds, headaches, and migraines, and feels dizzy, faint, and even nauseous. There's a general strain on his body and the body of anyone touching him with prolongued use, as well.

Friends
  • Jeremy Heere - Michael was Jeremy's childhood best friend before the Mells moved to upstate New York. The two did everything together, and pretty much only had each other. In 2012, Jeremy's mother died, and 3 days later, Michael's family moved away. This hurt their friendship, especially when Michael barely kept in touch like he'd promised. The two don't reconnect until the events of Redshift, where Michael learns just how much Jeremy has changed in 5 years.
