General Info:

A miserable bastard with anger management problems, Mike ended up living by himself in a 3-bedroom house in Felney, despite only working as a low-paid lab assistant, and owning lots of 'classic' cars (at least one of which actually runs, sometimes). He advertised for house mates, and was joined by Aaron Anderson and Tina Wright. They have wierd problems of thier own, but have jobs and pay him rent... which he wastes on trying to fix up even more rusting wrecks!

Mike is, well, a miserable bastard with anger management problems, but can be very nice and sweet to people who don't fuck up stupidly. Unfortunately, he works as a lab assistant, and when it comes to simple stuff, like throwing waste in correct bins, scientists are about as brainy as slugs, and fuck up constantly. He classes himself as single, but Tina's girlfriend, Ann, is into him. He was also briefly with Sunita Shankar while he did one year of university with her, but he dropped out. He is 2 on the Kinsey scale, so Sunita's "surprise package" didn't bother him. He wouldn't say no to a boyfriend, but doesn't go out of his way looking for one.
