Mickey Milton (Death of Hope)

Mickey Milton is a main character, a deuteragonist and a former minor antagonist, as well as a survivor of the outbreak in Crime of Your Life: Death of Hope. During the initial outbreak, he joined a group of survivors outside New Lincoln, Idaho. Since he was part of the NLSC, he was allowed to join the NLC and the other NLC.
== Overview ==
Mickey is quick thinking, bright, loyal, resourceful, and quick on his feet, which makes him the NLSC's primary supply runner. He is aware of the extreme dangers in which he places himself for the sake of the group. He also like to think on his feet while also showing great compassion and humanity. He's an integral part of the group, showing surprising depth and emotion even when experiencing the most devastating tragedies.
While he was an antagonist, Mickey initially seems to be a fair, intelligent, and charismatic man who wants the best for his own group, before he joined Mason's group. When the NLSC first encounters him, Mason tells the rest of his group that he could be trustworthy and can protect them from being banished. He is usually described by many as a very bold and ambitious man, something he is sometimes both praised and berated about. However, overtime Mickey's true nature is revealed and his nice guy façade slowly fades, revealing a power-hungry, manipulative, and psychotic side.
But eventually he wanted to change for the better. Mickey did show signs of suffering from denial of guilt following his brother's death. He was subsequently one of the earliest members of the survivors to devolve into a hardened survivor and fully adapt to the horrors of the post-apocalyptic world.
== Pre-Apocalypse ==
Mickey was born on April 22nd, 1940, and during his childhood, he grew up alongside best friend in Vermont. Mickey's childhood itself was an unhappy one, as his father was physically abusive towards him, while his mother was emotionally abusive, overbearing, treated him with condescension and saw him as a "useless boy" who cared little about his mother. When he was a child, Mickey's father abandoned him, who later died. Mickey didn't attend his father's funeral. Mickey also had a brother, whom Mickey liked. His brother died prior to 1973.
When he was a child, he did not have the luxuries and privileges his allies had, and grew up in the deprived environment of a trailer park with his family. In his high school years, Mickey was an acclaimed quarterback for an all-state football team, even putting an amazing performance during his games and occasionally had his picture in the local newspaper. Still, his family life and constant injuries ultimately forced him to quit.
