 ==Background==
-Michael was born and raised in the suburbs of Knight City, in an otherwise unremarkable family: two parents, a younger brother, and a younger sister. He spent much of his time with his [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeterosexualLifePartners lifelong friend], [[Raphael D'Angelo]], with whom he intended to join the Army after high school. However, in his sophomore year, Rafe's eyes began to mutate, resulting in vision problems that ultimately disqualified him from military service—Rafe insisted Michael go on without him. Michael spent four years in the Army, stationed in Germany and Georgia, with a combat tour in Southwest-Asia. Nicknamed "Foxy" from the start, he craved the (occasional) thrill of field operations, but the drudgery and bureaucracy that went with it wore down any desire to re-enlist when his term-of-service ended. Hearing of the rising crime rates back home, he returned to Knight City to become a policeman—chasing down bad-guys might calm his craving, while helping make his old neighborhood safer. He started dating Kit soon after he returned—they were ''perfect'' for each other, by all accounts—and they married after a year. He ''should'' have been happy. But he soon found the KCPD to be little improvement over the Army. Additionally, he found himself at odds with corrupt fellow officers, eventually resulting in his more-or-less permanent reassignment to [desk job] to get him out of their way.

 A year ago, Rafe returned from Japan after his martial-arts master had [disappeared/died]. He was a different person, now with secret "special abilities" and a determination to put them to good use. Mike immediately knew that helping his best friend realize his potential might be the best way yet to feed his addiction for action, and maybe do the community some good at the same time.

 ==Personality==
-He was always the classic "class-clown"—outgoing, sarcastic, joker/practical-joker—but deep down, a straight-up good guy that would always stand up for the weak. As the [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLancer Lancer] in [[Raphael D'Angelo|Raphael's]] [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PowerTrio Power Trio], he keeps Rafe from getting "too serious" and/or "too predictable"—always encouraging him to get out there and ''do something,'' and maybe have a little fun while he's at it. An impulsive adrenaline-junky, always ready to try something new—bungee-jumping, base-jumping, rock-climbing, etc. He likes video games, guns (shoots regularly), and cars (street-tuners, primarily, but he watches Formula 1 and GT3/sports-car racing). As a policeman, his impulsiveness, willingness to bend the rules, and intolerance of inept authority-figures and (ironically) corruption makes him the typical "maverick" in his department. He drinks and smokes, but not to excess. He loves [[Michael_Fox#Kit_Fox|Kit]] madly, even though she drives him nuts.
