GUYYS WAKE UP, SOME OC LORE JUST DROPPED 🔥🔥🔥
(I know I posted this before but idc, I’m posting it again)
(This one is a quick uhhh idk choir uniform thingy?? I’m leaving it here just in case)
SOME THINGS TO NOT FORGET WHILE DRAWING BRO!!:
-give him his acne and freckles 💔
-give him his tummy too
-kinda weird to explain but his hair is curly, but the bottom back part of it is straight (for some reason)
Anyways, lore/personality is gonna be down below!!
Pre island
Btw his full name is (Michael Donovan)
Mike’s story starts in Central America, his grandparents moved from England to there.
There he was happy. He had friends, he went to a private school, he was in violin lessons, etc. He was happy there.
His mom was a single mother and was raising him and his younger stepsister, his father was out of the picture. When he turned 10, Miike and his mother both moved back to England 2 years prior to book events.
There he enrolled in school. He wasn’t very social, but he still was a very talented and pretty academically good child. (Although there were some kids that picked on him, he just ignored it.)
He joined the choir and met some sort of friends there. He also plays the violin since he was 7.
He never felt that he was important there. He felt like a background character in a place full of important people.
Island
Since he was part of the choir he spent most of his time with them. He had a great admiration for that Jack. He didn’t talk to him much tho, he mostly talked to Maurice, Robert, and Simon (when simon still hung out with them.)
He doesn’t like hunting, at all. The whole process of killing a pig makes him want to vomit. The noises, the textures, everything creeped him out. He mostly tried to stay in the background.
He also liked Ralph’s group. He didn’t think what they were doing made much sense, considering he had already lost hope on returning home, but he respected their ideas.
He also admired Ralph. He knew his role was a serious manner, so he also had great respect for that.
The way he managed to become the island’s “messenger” was essentially Jack’s fault and his own people pleasing tendencies.
It all started when one day Jack and Ralph had another one of their stupid arguments. Jack refused to speak to Ralph, but they still needed to communicate. Miike volunteered to go deliver the message, and that stuck ever since. In Jack’s mind he thought Miike only hung out with Ralph’s lot because he was gathering information and plotting against them, for the benefit of the hunters.
Now for Ralph’s side, Miike managed to convince him that he didn’t like Jack at all. He told him that he was forced to be there since the choir and all. But that he would be an inside spy and work for the benefit of his group.
In reality both of these were right. He was essentially working for both at the same time, all because of an ocean full of lies he pulled out of nowhere. Honestly he’s truly neutral and prides himself on the idea of the island falling apart if they didn’t have their “trustworthy” spy/ messenger.
Personality
Michael is a smart, awkward, and complicated kid. He is constantly doing stuff to please others, although won’t think twice about refusing if he feels that might humiliate him or make him look bad. He has no problem on stepping up for himself, and when he does it’s hard to hold back.
Having a constant mentality that everyone hates him makes him not fully like everybody. This and the need he feels for having everyone like him play a part on his role on the island. When he is with Ralph he talks crap about the hunters, when he is with Jack he talks crap about Ralph’s group.
This also encourages his lying tendencies. Growing up in such strict religion before moving to England (being a Jehovah’s Witness) caused him to finally rebel in some sort of way. He honestly felt that all hope was lost the moment they got to the island, and he simply accepted it. There was no point in life anymore. Why not do whatever the hell he wants?? He can’t die, at least in a non painful way, so there’s no easy way to end the suffering.
He’s also somewhat full of himself. He really prides himself on the fact that he is a messenger on the island. Not just for the hunters, but for Ralph too. He believes it’s something important and in his mind he holds himself as high status just for his stupid little job. He can also get really obsessive or envious from time to time.
Now to make it short, he just wants to be free and be liked by people. That’s the only thing that cares about at this point. He would never be rude to anyone in their face (unless they really REALLY deserve it, otherwise he just talks crap behind their backs). Most of the time he just goes with the flow.
Quick facts
-He’s sort of a nerd. Not in the same way Piggy is, he just knows a bunch of fun facts.
-Bro is not simply chubby, he’s big boned (/ref) but speaking fr, this makes him actually pretty strong.
-He misses his home country a lot, he curses the day they moved to England.
-He doesn’t take past of any religion now. His mom is a very spiritual person, and doesn’t believe in the church and stuff.
-He’s a picky eater, mostly because of sensory issues. This is why he mostly eats meat.
-He loves anything that has to do with art
-Considering that he grew up in a Spanish speaking country and that English lessons weren’t that common back then, his English is kind of bad sometimes. It did get better when he got to England.
-He loves Godzilla
-His hair is always messy. He has curls in the top, but the bottom of it is straight.
-He has a deep respect for women since he saw how amazing and independent his mom was.
-Secretly really judgy and has an opinion about everything and everyone
-Loves to gossip (sometimes he adds a few extra details to messages just to cause drama)
-His voice has changed due to puberty for the most part, but he does still have voice cracks pretty often (before the island he considered dropping out of choir for this)
-He has two birthmarks on his neck that look like a vampire bite.
-He has a very interesting sense of humor. Sometimes he’s really funny and sometimes no one understands his jokes.
-He has a short temper, especially when someone is criticizing him.
-He can get really self conscious about his appearance (sometimes weight or acne, considering he got picked on because of that) but he pretends not to care.
-he misses his sister a lot. Kikita reminds him of her, so he sees her as a younger sibling.
