PERSONALITY:
Likes:Money. Him and everyone else in Remoor. There's an old cliché that claims money can't buy happiness, and maybe it's not a replacement for true contentment inside yourself, but you know what? Michael is much happier and more at ease now, with some financial security behind him, than he ever was back when he had to worry about whether or not he was still going to have a roof over his head at the end of the week.
A little bit of luxury. On a slightly more shallow note, it's also nice to be able to afford nice things and treat yourself every now and then. He's not going on spending sprees every other weekend, but if he's going to buy new clothes or a piece of furniture anyway, why shouldn't he go for the best that he can afford? "You get what you pay for," and all that.
Making connections. Like it or not, sometimes, it really is about who you know and how you know them. Wherever he goes and whatever situation he's in, Michael strives to put his best foot forward and make a good impression. It's not a coincidence that in any given scenario, he can usually be found rubbing elbows with the more influential and wealthy personages in the room.
Women. Even when his body issues were at their worst and his self-esteem was hovering somewhere between the floorboards and the earth's core, it didn't seem to lessen his interest in this regard at all. He does tend to put his foot in his mouth somewhat in these situations, or drop the ball a little bit, though. Too busy talking to pick up on signals, etc.
Vanadis "Kyurem" Grimmson. Michael was the one who found the ice dragon on the outskirts of town, and brought her into human society. It was the start of a... rather odd relationship. Vana is combative and crude at times, traits that he tends to avoid when choosing his friends, but somehow this works out for both of them. The two have actually become quite good friends over the course of the ten years they've worked together - even if Vana still makes worrying comments from time to time.
Gardening. Trying to connect with his kid after splitting with his ex = a new hobby!
Autumn. Favourite season.
Clothes. He's a very fashion-conscious kind of guy. Kind of comes with the job.
His job. He gets to meet interesting people, and he generally has fun with it.
Electronics. Like a lot of people, he's pretty dependent on things like smart-phones and the internet.
Pastel colours. Just a preference.
Dislikes:
Loud, public altercations. There's a time and a place, and oh god people are staring please stop this is embarrassing.
Noisy, crowded places in general. Very sensitive to noise, and space. Prefers quiet, open spaces, naturally.
Sloppy appearances, especially in public. He takes pride in his appearance, and doesn't really understand people who don't.
Most seafood. He just finds it really oily and bland and kind of gross.
[/font]
Thoughtful. In the sense that he considers things carefully, but also in that he's mindful of the feelings of others. sometimes. also has a strong tendency to over-think things and make them more complicated than they have to be.
Resourceful. Opportunistic, almost. Good at finding solutions, working with the materials at his disposal. He also formed a business partnership with a literal ice dragon deity and managed to keep her from eating him in the earliest days of their relationship, so there's that. Can be a bit manipulative with others.
Sociable. He likes people, likes working with them. Generally upbeat and friendly on the surface.
Co-operative. Good at reaching compromises and working with others.
Courageous(?) Michael doesn't see it this way, but he's more daring than he believes himself to be. He is capable of sticking up for himself where it counts, as much as he dislikes conflict, and he's not easily put off by the fantastic or strange. A good dose of common sense accompanies this trait, however, which holds him back from making snap decisions and charging into situations head-on. He is cautious, as is prudent for a human dealing with something so much bigger than himself, but that doesn't make him a coward.
Detail-oriented. Good at picking up on the little things, although he can sometimes miss the big picture for staring at all the tiny pieces.

Weaknesses:
[/font]
Poor self image. He's not struggling so much with the anorexia any more (although the temptation pops up sometimes on his bad days) but he's still not 100% happy in himself. He doesn't let on about it, but he's kind of insecure in this regard. He's just gotten better at covering it up.
Superficial. Sometimes, yeah. He can get a little bit preoccupied with material goods, wealth or personal appearances, because he knows the value of these things in the modern world.

How do they feel about Pravus?:
How do they feel about Pokemon?:
Michael came from a family that viewed them largely as companions and pets; more intelligent than most animals tended to be perhaps, but still animals fundamentally. Michael developed a different mindset as he was growing up, though, beginning with his interactions with the Mandibuzz his father inherited. The mouthy, angry buzzard challenged many of his notions about Pokemon and their relation to human beings, and his views only continued to develop as he aged. His stance was also impacted by his meeting with the ice dragon, Kyurem, as well as the rise of various Pokemon Rights groups more recently.
[/ul]How do they feel about Pokemorphs?:
Secret misgivings about Pravus aside, he understands that the first Pokemorphs assisted in fighting off the clones during the war. He doesn't want the process for himself and sometimes he looks at a particularly brutalised morph and has to fight back a wince (this is especially true of the incredibly rare splices), but he doesn't have any sense of ill-will towards them and mostly just treats them like any other person he'd meet.
