You belong here with me, okay?
-Rus MikeRus Mike is a main character in Michaelverse. He is scrapbabies's interpretation of Michael Afton from Five Nights at Freddy's.
==Appearance==
Rus Mike is mixed Afro-Dominican. She has shoulder length brown, almost reddish, hair and brown eyes and gray central heterochromia. Her pupils are white instead of black. He has two scars on her face, one on his cheek and the other over her left eyelid, going across his eyebrow. He also has freckles all across her body, and spots of acne on his face. She has a gap in the front of his teeth matching her father and twin sister.
Mike wears a heart locket necklace and a dark gray turtleneck sweater, ripped jeans, black boots, and fingerless gloves that cover her left index and middle fingers, which are particularly nastily scarred after his stint as a nightguard. On top of that, she has numerous rings on both hands His white pupils seem to glow in certain situations, highlighting the permanent bags under her eyes. He has a lip piercing and two piercings on each ear.
This section mentions self-harm.
Underneath, Mike has several scars along her body. Most noticeably scarred hands from attempting to pry open Fredbear's jaw, and fighting off animatronics. Along with that, he has a sun shaped surgical scar after being bitten in the right shoulder by Foxy, resulting in a metal plate being inserted. She also has an untreated burn from Nightmare Bonnie, and claw marks on his legs from Nightmare Foxy. There's a group of knife wounds on her right arm from Henry Emily making an attempt on his life in '87. Lastly, there are self inflicted cigarette burns littering her forearms and thighs.
==Personality==
In the beginning, Mike was rude and even cruel to others. She was almost constantly drunk, always smelling like alcohol and cigarette smoke. He didn't care for the other members of Michaelverse, often arguing with them. Until one day.
Now, Rus Mike puts on an almost silly persona. He still appears as standoffish to those she doesn't know, but is quite joking and affectionate with his loved ones. He rushes into situations almost blindly to help people with no care for her own safety, much to the dismay of others. He can be somewhat snarky and appear oblivious on occasions.
(At least, that's all she wants the others to know. He puts on a mask to hide her pain and true emotions as to not concern the people that care for him. She considers himself a tool to help others rather than a person. He's meant to be The Angel of the story, after all.)
==Backstory==
Michael was born along with his twin sister, Beth, on May 11th 1970 to Anabelle and William Afton. The family resides in Lakeview, Oregon, where William co-owned a small animatronic themed diner. Five years later the youngest son, Noah, was born.
However, in 1980, William opened a new restaurant, Baby's Pizza Circus. It was there that Mike's sister went missing on their 10th birthday, and the restaurant immediately shut down. Just a year later, Charlie Emily was found dead outside of Fredbear's Astro-Diner on Halloween. And just two months later on the night of Christmas Eve, Anabelle left without notice to the two sons.
By 1983, William had remarried to Christine. In that year, Mike, along with his friends, had taken to constantly tormenting his younger brother. Of course, this eventually resulted in the Bite of '83, which killed Noah. During the week he was in a coma however, Mike found himself in an unfamiliar place at night, filled with nightmarish versions of the Fazbear animatronics. He fended them off for six nights before escaping back home on the seventh, where a horrifying version of Fredbear waited for her.
After that year, Mike was sent to a boarding school meant to deal with troublesome teens, where he constantly got into fights. During this time, she tried to build a relationship with Christine, as she had been distant and negligent while Mike pushed her away and refused to call her his mom. But it was to no avail, as she thought of him as a monster now, and put a stop to all attempts at physical touch. When Mike came home from her boarding school for Christmas break, Christine was nowhere to be found.
In April of 1985, Mike was expelled from the boarding school for hospitalizing another student in a rather brutal fight. He was standoffish and quiet. He noticed her father acting weird on occasions, and snooped around the house while He was out, trying to figure out why. It was there he found a VHS tape containing the brutal murder of one of the local children, Susie Larson. William had walked in on Mike watching the tape, and while she yelled at Him and threatened to take this evidence to the police, William manipulated Mike into thinking this was for their own good, for the good of their family. William made Mike keep quiet, even as four other murders occurred, even roping her into hiding evidence on occasion. But Mike believed this was all done out of love, something he was searching for from her father for years on end. After the Missing Children's Incident, Mike experienced the same 'nightmares' he did in 1983. However, this manipulation and devotion led Mike to disregard Sammy and accuse her of lying when she confided in him that William was trying to kill her, causing their friendship to break apart.
Then William disappeared, and Mike was alone.
Through '86-'87, Mike lived with Henry Emily, his father's previous business partner. During that time, a new Fazbear's location opened via Fazbear Ent. in 1987. Mike took a job there, hoping to find his father. It was here that Mike fell heavily into drinking and smoking, not helped by Henry's similar behaviors, even when Henry insisted she go to Church with him to try and repent. Mike worked in the roller rink section of the new location, alongside his childhood friend Stephanie and co-worker Jeremy Fitzgerald, who she slowly grew attached to, and formed an almost father-son like relationship with the man. Until the next incident, where Mike opened the pizzeria for the morning shift and found six dead bodies, including Stephanie and Jeremy's daughter. Mike was immediately suspected for the crime, due to his past and current behavior, along with The Bite and being suspected for the MCI. Even Jeremy bought into the accusations, causing a very public and physical fight between the two, where Jeremy screamed at her for killing his kids. Mike was then promptly fired and banned from the location to avoid any accusations towards the company. Mike then went to Henry about this situation, trying to absolve any suspicions by finally coming clean to him about the MCI. This went poorly, however, as Henry attacked him in an attempt to kill Mike, yelling at her about working with William, accusing him of helping kill Charlie. Mike managed to get away and sleep that night at a bar. And when she came back the next day, police were at the house, wheeling away Henry's 'body'.
In the beginning of 1988, after bouncing around apartments that he couldn't afford, Mike finally went back to her childhood home. There, William was waiting for him, welcoming her back with open arms. Mike readily went back to Him, still believing everything He did was out of love and care for the family. However, visions followed her home, nightmare versions of the animatronics from the '87 location constantly haunting her dreams. Even in his waking moments, she'd see visions of a large shadowy bear and a hellish version of the puppet.
Eventually, by 1990, a new Fazbear's location opened. Mike experienced nightmares of children and shadowy bears calling out to her, almost like his dreams were luring him to the place. Even William encouraged Mike to take a job there, to help Him finish what He's trying to create for their family. Mike finally agreed, changing his appearance to more resemble William at His insistence, claiming it would help Mike be unrecognized after being banned from the locations. Mike started this job out as a waiter. But once a nightguard position suddenly became available, she immediately applied to do more work for Him. Mike then worked a week in the position, fending off animatronics. He couldn't get herself to go check Parts and Services when his old manager, Ricky, asked her to as a last request, though. During these nights Mike frequently had nightmares replicating his experience from 1983, until the last one was unusually silent. That was when a ghostly version of Charlie appeared, telling Mike of William's true intentions, disillusioning Mike of the image he's built up of Him all these years. Charlie then urged Mike to help her and the other children become free. That night was the 7th night of his job, where she tampered with the animatronics in an attempt to figure out how to free his father's victims. This backfired and caused them to become more aggressive during her shift, ultimately landing him in the hospital after 6am hit. Once Mike was let go, she immediately went back home to confront William- only to find him gone once again.
This section contains attempted suicide
Between then and the next year, Mike spiraled into a deep depression. She barely left the house, much less get off the couch to do much of anything. At one point during an explosion of pure rage for constantly falling for her father's lies and deceit and empty promises, he got into His car that was left behind with a bottle of alcohol, downing it all before driving the car at high speed, nearly slamming it into a tree in an attempt to kill herself. However, he stopped at the last minute when she remembered Charlie's request. He decided she would live on purely for this, until he could help fix her mistakes. A week after that, Mike had been digging around William's old room for any leads on where He might have gone when she found a letter addressed to him.
==Michaelverse Lore==
Rus Mike entered Michaelverse when he was 19, when it was 1990 in her universe. She frequently left the place to go back, almost sick of the residents there. 
However, after he experienced FNaF 1, she became almost withdrawn, but even more prone to suddenly snap at others. This included Nori Mike, who he regularly argued with. She found their persona sickeningly similar to his father's, causing a hatred for the other version of himself. Once when he was drunk, she had even compared Nori Mike to the man to his face.
After a particularly nasty fight with them, though, things had come to light between the two, and Rus Mike realized that he has more in common with Nori Mike then she once thought.
This helped Rus Mike begin to mellow out in Michaelverse, along with the help of building other friendships there. Getting closer to Maribelle, Anabeth, and ▇▇ even caused her to quit drinking cold turkey, dumping all his alcohol down the sink as to not be a bad influence.
Rus Mike had begun to regularly help participate in adventures, adapting the mentality he had for helping the missing children. Even though he's had terribly hard times here, Rus Mike has come to truly enjoy being in Michaelverse, much preferring it to her own universe. He just wants to help her loved ones here as much as he can.

==Relationsips==
Nori Mike - Although they regularly butted heads in the beginning, Rus Mike has come to truly love and respect Nori Mike. Though they still have their bad spots, she believes this is one of the strongest and deepest relationships he has here. Rus Mike seems to think that Nori Mike is someone to look up to regarding situations she finds himself in, coming to them for advice before most others. She knows Nori Mike struggles here, and tries his best to help him, even if she feels like he fails at that most of the time. More than anything, she wants to help Nori Mike be happy.
Maribelle & Anabeth - Rus Mike never did feel fully equipped to become a parent when taking in these two, even worrying she'd take after his father in more ways than just appearance. But after many trial and error, he feels like she'd gotten a little hang of it. He loves these two more than anything, and would readily risk her life if it meant keeping them safe. But he can't help but feeling like a failure to them, after failing to be the one to help Anabeth revert back to herself, and learning Maribelle had died and Rus Mike was unable to save her during the Forbidden Loop. Due to those factors, he's almost paranoid about dangers coming for them. She doesn't want to make the same mistakes.
Dude - Much like most residents, Rus Mike absolutely did not like Dude at first. He found his obsession with Fazbear's almost weird, considering all the terrible things that have happened. Not to mention, loud. However as the two kept running into each other, Dude eventually broke Rus Mike down and he started to become somewhat fond of the other. It was after Dude kissed her over his Fazbear knowledge, that Mike caught feelings, fast. Now that they're in a relationship, Rus Mike is hopelessly in love with Dude. She finds his carefree behavior to be somewhat of a relief from all the chaos. He's become a source of comfort for him.
Rosario - Rus Mike felt a weird fondness for Rosario early on, due to a younger version of himself being close with her. This led to them beginning to hang out more, and eventually Rus Mike felt the brother-like relationship that her younger self feels for Rosario. He enjoys barging into her house to hangout with him, and finds great joy in teasing Rose. However, he's noticed she's become a lot more unwell lately. He wants to try her best to help his brother, but she's at somewhat of a loss. Rus Mike just tries to bring a distraction to him.
Scott - Admittedly, Rus Mike was somewhat scared of Scott in the beginning, thinking of her as a force to be reckoned with. Of course, they grew closer over time. Much like Rosario, Rus Mike's younger self's relationship with Scott influenced her own feelings, and he began to think of her as almost a mother figure. He didn't want to admit it to herself or Scott due to his complicated relationship with moms. That is, however, until HBTPverse. Now, Rus Mike is more willing to think of Scott as a mother- and constantly worries for her safety after the adventure. He finds herself often texting Scott late at night to see if she's okay.
Red - Her little buddy! Rus Mike is fond of Red, especially after Pixelverse and regaining some memories of the two from the Forbidden Loop. He enjoys playing video games with him, often hyping Red up and even purposefully losing to make him happy.
Gamer - Rus Mike really relates to Gamer's method of repressing hard situations, and thus finds it easy to hang out with him after particularly special events, as neither of the two acknowledge it to each other. He fondly remembers The Grill Incident.
Saturn Samuel - Though he respects Samuel, she has a feeling that he doesn't like her so much. So, Rus Mike tries to stay out of his way when he can. When they do interact, however, she tries to break the tension by assigning him ridiculous nicknames, which honestly probably makes him hate her more.
▇▇ - ...It feels like he's forgetting something.
