-Paisley Mike
Paisley Mike is a main character in Michaelverse. He doesn't appear that much and when he does, its only to fuck around and it doesn't last long. He was one of the first 6 Michaels to appear. He is hampurrger's interpretation of Michael Afton from Five Nights at Freddy's. He is also really tall. If anyone says otherwise, they're in the wrong.
==Appearance==
Regular - He is 5'4 tall. Mike has fluffy light brown hair styled as a slightly past shoulder length mullet, which was bleached to make his hair lighter than it's natural color. It did this to try and lessen it's resemblance to William. His hair is so fluffy, you can't see his natural roots unless his hair gets wet. He is overweight. It wears a slightly oversized purple turtleneck sweater, that was handmade by Mark. It wears it over a t-shirt or a tank top with denim jeans. He wears brown work shoes on his feet. He has dark blue eyes. because of his chronic resting bitch face, you can almost always see his darker, slightly more pink, eyelids. It has a tooth gap in his front top teeth. Underneath his sweater, he's always wearing a tank top. When he isn't wearing his sweater, he's wearing an oversized t-shirt, most likely his Morbius shirt. He is never seen in public with a tank top, and usually only wears one without his sweater when he's at home. It always wears a golden wedding band on its left ring finger, but since June 11, it no longer wears it due to not being married anymore. He had a breaking bad friendship necklace with Jesse on it, but it was destroyed.
Currently - Currently in Michaelverse, Paisley Mike has a gray t-shirt with a violet collar and short sleeves. It has bandages wrapped around its left shoulder to cover a burn scar. He wears light denim jeans. He's lost a small bit of weight since his birthday.
This next paragraph is about self harm. It ends at the double line break.
When it was a teenager, after its sister's death, Mike would scratch at himself to take out his emotions. There were points where he had broke skin unintentionally, and these left scars on him. He has these scars on his left shoulder, chest, and stomach.
He has springlock scars on his torso and neck, from an accident. This happened shortly after The Bite of 83. It has stretch marks on his stomach, inner shoulders, and on the sides of his chest.
From Michaelverse, he has received a few burns, which have since healed apart from one burn mark on his left shoulder. and a large laceration/stab wound. He was stabbed in his heart, and the knife slashed from his chest to the side of his hip. **tw start** He has a stab scar in his stomach area from a suicide attempt. **tw end**
==Backstory==
Michael and his little sister Elizabeth were best friends until the latter died from a freak accident at her birthday party, which Michael did not attend due to a bad flu. While Norman was told she moved, Michael being 15 at the time was told the harsh cold truth. Learning about his sister's, and best friend's death, led him to depression which caused it to gain weight and stop regularly taking care of itself. This also lead to it bullying its little brother to tears as, an unhealthy way, to cope. It had strayed from its family and begun to hang out with its friends more, but mostly Mark.
Sometime in the year of his 16th birthday, Michael was forced by his parents to get a driver's permit. He only got his license a month before the Bite of 83.
On January 11th, 1983. Michael and his friends were responsible for the death of the former's younger brother. The cause being a prank gone horribly wrong. Norman was pronounced dead at the scene, and behind closed doors, William told Michael he was proud of him and he's "just like his old man". He was proud of Michael for the indirect murder because "that's one less mouth to feed around here." This incident took yet another toll on Michael and led it to go missing with its friends. He and Mark formed a romantic relationship sometime within this year.
In 1987, Michael and Mark became engaged and were ready to tell, only a few, people. Mike and Mark went on a honeymoon in Salt Lake City from October 4-10. They had thebtime of their lives there, and would never forget about it.
They were going to tell Jeremy Fitzgerald, a friend of the two and their old tutor, about their engagement. Unfortunately, a freak accident with Mangle resulted in Jeremy losing his frontal lobe, with Michael and Mark witnessing the whole thing. 
In the fall of this year, they drove over the weekend to California to get married on November 14th.
Shortly after getting married, one week before Christmas, Mike found out he was pregnant, and told Mark on Christmas. The latter was absolutely overwhelmed with joy and excitement. The both of them were thrilled to become parents. The pregnancy made Mike lethargic and listless, but none the less, he and Mark were overjoyed. Mike was also very capricious during this time. It would yell at Mark for the tiniest thing being wrong, and then apologize in tears moments later. He would practically only eat goldfish crackers and cookies and cream ice cream. Mark didn't mind the weird food cravings and persistent mood swings, he was just happy and excited that he was going to become a dad. They both tried to keep the child a secret, but Mike's parents came and visited unannounced one day, and found out after accidentally walking in on the couple discussing names, one of them being Lisa, and another being Mark Jr. William was happy and thrilled to become a grandfather, but he wasn't as excited as Amelia. She was agitating, and would call Mark and Mike everyday to check up on the latter's condition, and to make sure "her grandchild will be healthy". She would also constantly invade their privacy by coming over without asking, but she did bring gifts. Most of them being hand-me-downs. One of them was Elizabeth's old giant unicorn plush.
Mike would get mollycoddled and pampered a lot by Mark. It felt silly, because it really didn't need any of the pampering Mark was giving it, though it did feel nice. He was treated like royalty, and was brought whatever he didn't directly or verbally asked for. He could mention that he was going to get up and get a glass of water, and Mark would shove him back down in the bed and get that water for him. Anytime he mentioned he was in the slightest, tiniest bit of pain, Mark would overreact and start getting ready to drive to the hospital, but Mike kept having to tell him that it wasn't time. Their pet cat, Lizzie, would also cosset Mike. She would swipe at, and hiss at Mark if he ever tried to touch, or get anywhere close to Mike. Mark was really overprotective of Mike, and was more than excited to become a dad.
Mike was already 8 months during its, and Mark's 21st birthdays. He was a little bit bummed out that He and Mark didn't get to go out drinking like they planned too, but having a baby is way more exciting than some alcohol. What really sucked about it was at the beginning of June, Mike was put on complete bedrest for the remainder of the pregnancy. It wasn't allowed to leave its bed under any circumstance at all. Only time it was allowed to leave the bed was to use the bathroom and to shower. He had to celebrate his birthday in bed. Mark made special birthday breakfast for him and made a small one person cake for dessert after dinner.
Mike was mostly accompanied by Mark during the bedrest. Mark even spent his own birthday in bed with it. When Mark wasn't around to keep company, Mike would either nap or watch movies on the TV in the bedroom.
On July 15th, 1988, Lisa was born. Amelia and William came to see the new baby (against both Mike and Mark's wishes) and fell in love with her. Mike got to hold Lisa the least. When she wasn't being held and cherished by Amelia, Mark would be holding her, and (not literally) gatekeeping her. It had always been his dream to become a father, and he was so thrilled that it finally came true.
Mike became a night guard at Freddy's in November of 1993 apparently trying to get free pizza. When he came home from his night shift, he would nap until 4-year-old Lisa came home from school, then spend the rest of the day with her and Mark before having to return to work. However, this job didn't last long. On the 7th day of his job, William had paid a visit to try and find Michael to kill it, destroying the animatronics in the process. The ghosts of the 5 children William had murdered in the past, one of them being Charlotte Emily, reportedly began haunting William to the point of him putting on his old Spring Bonnie suit for protection, which ultimately lead to his demise. When the daytime guards came over for their shift, they were met with mangled and destroyed animatronics. Since William found a way to be out of the camera's view, and Mike was the only person there, he was blamed for the damage and ultimately fired for tampering with animatronics and odor.
The day after his termination, Mike saw himself in the mirror and saw that he was growing up to look just like his father. He cut and bleached his hair, and shaved his stubble, to try and make himself look different, and not like his dad.
Years later, in 2000, Michael assigned himself the task to find Elizabeth and "put her back together". At this point in time, it and Mark were living by themselves with 11, turning 12-year-old Lisa, and their cat Lizzie. They temporarily moved back into the old house back in Hurricane that Mike grew up in, with its siblings and parents. Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals was underground of Fredbear's Family Diner, which was right next to the house. Michael would go to C.B.E.A.R. as a technician, where it was given the name 'Eggs Benedict' by a faulty and outdated Handunit. On the 5th night of his job, Michael was tasked by Circus Baby to go into the scooping room, but he refused and instead ended up in the private room, which ultimately resulted in his termination from his job. Despite this, he returned the next night after Ennard paid him a visit, coaxing it to go in the scooping room under the guise of "finding its sister". Unfortunately, this was a trap, and Mike was scooped by Ennard to be used as a body.
Mark was completely oblivious to this until around 4 days after, when he noticed a sudden change in his overall appearance. Michael had become green, thin, and even more smelly than before. He thought, and Ennard convinced him, that Michael was "just becoming a better man for Mark" even though Mark said multiple times that there's nothing about Mike that needs to be changed and that he fell in love with him for a reason. A week had passed since the scooping when Michael's body became unusable, and Ennard purged themself out of Michael, in broad daylight on the sidewalk. Somehow and miraculously, Michael survived everything, and even more miraculously, managed to stay together with Mark. They moved back to their own house.
Not much is known about Michael's future, but all that is known is that it was the manager of a pizzeria for a week, before on Christmas Eve, the building burnt down with it inside. This lead to Mark committing suicide a month and a half later. The bloodline continued, with Lisa having Gregory in 2018. He would have been Michael's grandson.
==Michaelverse Lore==
In Michaelverse, Mike is known as Paisley Mike, to distinguish his name from the other Michaels. He is stuck at 33 years old, and as his pre-scooped self. He made his unofficial debut as his teenage self in the Michaelverse pilot movie, Michael Into the Michaelverse. It made its official Michaelverse debut in the series premiere episode, Michaelcon. He allegedly stole an air vent from the convention center, using Saturn Mike as a step ladder. A running gag within Michaelverse is that he's the shortest Michael, despite his canon height being average. It doesn't appear in many events nowadays, and only comes out to ask for cup of noodle, or to fuck around with food service employees at the mall. Paisley Mike also finds itself in fights with some tupper bots. (McDonald's, Walmart, Subway, etc.)
Mike and Mark were still married in Michaelverse, but their relationship was really rocky. They were almost always on the brink of divorce. The only time they have ever been shown as a true couple was during the beach episode. 
One of Paisley Mike's most well-known family guy funny moments was the "McDonald's is mid" incident, where it was asked if he would join the children chanting "MCDONALD'S! MCDONALD'S!", Tell them they have food at home, or order one black coffee and nothing else. In response, it said "McDonald's kinda mid tbh". This resulted in Nori Mike and Paisley Mike getting into a fight with one another, with Ginger Mike tagging in on Nori Mike's side.
During the Beach Episode, the Jaws tupper bot ate a chunk of Paisley Mike's shoulder, who ironically was swimming in the ocean with a plastic shark fin taped on his head. He was restored back to normal after the beach episode, as if nothing ever happened.
His June version of himself (hampurrger's Michael design from June of 2021) has a very strong hatred for him, and wants to kill him to "regain his Michael status". Paisley Mike was often seeing himself avoid one of his past self's assassination attempts. There was a moment when the latter managed to stab Paisley Mike directly in the heart, but he managed to survive due to Michaels being immortal in Michaelverse.
Sometime in May, he and Mark met Balloon Boy. Mark immediately fell in love with him, and proposed that he and Mike keep him. As much as it wanted to refuse, being unable to say no to its then husband, Mike agreed. He and Mark took Balloon Boy to their house, and named him Noodles.
He seems to pop up in random places at any given time. His first sentence spoken is usually "Do you have cup of noodle" or "Who want me". He usually likes to go to Rus Mike's house to ask for a cup of noodle, even if no one is there.
On June 11, Paisley Mike's birthday, it threw a party for itself, with most of its friends coming. This included (but is not limited to) Scott, Rus Mike, Mick, Ginger, and for a short while, Saturn Mike. After being away for nearly a whole week, Mark came back to the house to collect the last of his belongings. He was moving into a new Condo, without having told Mike. Paisley Mike confronted Mark, and ended up indirectly causing a dramatic scene at the party, leading all of the guests to leave. Mark came clean to Mike, and told him he was leaving because he wanted a divorce. Mike, who at this point was a dam about to burst, agreed to the divorce and since June 12, they've been separated. As of now, this has left Mike depressed, and its psychosis began to act up more, welcoming Delusion to appear and stay more than Mike wishes. He also has been rarely leaving his house, only going to the bar and one of the two McDonalds. He went to the beach for five minutes, but ultimately went right back home. He's utterly embarrassed from the scene he made at his birthday party, and doesn't want to bump into Mark. It feels like the whole situation was its fault, and even the reason Mark wanted a divorce in the first place was somehow Mike's own fault. Delusion has been no help to Mike at all, assuring its misapprehensions and talking down to him. 
After the divorce, Paisley Mike made regular visits to a pond in a secluded part of the Michaelverse forest, where he would skip stones and have conversations with Saturn Mike, who he calls his 'forest cryptid pal'. He enjoys spending time with his new buddy, even though he's only heard his voice and barely seen anything of his face. He finds him similar to an old Michaelverse friend of his that he hasn't seen in a while, which is why he already feels like he's formed a decent bond with Saturn Mike. Paisley Mike had fallen asleep in the pond one day, and was retrieved by Mark, who was trying to find good camping grounds. He took Mike back to his house, and laid him on the couch, tucking him in as well.
On July 22nd, Mark set its house on fire. Mike, without thinking, ran into the burning house to try and save some very important valuables. The only thing he saved was one single cup of noodle, and its iconic purple turtleneck that Mark had knitted for him a long time ago. The sweater was already burned past the point of being wearable. He received second degree burns on his face, neck, and arms. He also had smoke inhalation. When it went to confront Mark, it was threatened with a restraining order, and Mark had attempted to take Noodles away from Mike, but it didn't work. As of right now, Mike has a new apartment. It's small, and nothing like his old house, but it's a roof over his head.
Michael really, really misses Mark. He burned his house down, ruined his birthday, and took away so much from him, but Paisley Mike believes that everything is his own fault. He wants Mark back in his life as his husband. He wants to reconcile with Mark, and get back with him, but Mark wants nothing to do with his ex. He vowed if he ever saw Mike again, he would kill him. He still loves Mark, despite the awful things he has done, and has been doing. He's clearly having a very difficult time forgetting him and getting over him, and Delusion has been no help at all, affirming Mike's belief that everything is his fault, and his fault only.
On August 18th, Mike was walking back home, when Mark jumped it, and stabbed it an inch away from its heart, also leaving a laceration going to its hip. Paisley Mike spent a few days drifting in and out of consciousness in a dumpster. The blood loss caused it to have hallucinations and delusions. It currently also has a broken nose and a healing bruise on its head from being hit with a shovel.
**This next paragraph is about suicide. It ends at the double line break.**
On September 20th, Mike was lower than his lowest point. It attempted to commit suicide by stabbing itself with a knife in the stomach, but he was taken to the hospital and saved. He broke out a few hours after being treated, because he did not want to end up on suicide watch.
2 days later, Mark set Mike's entire apartment on fire. He slammed him in the side-front of his head, knocking him out cold and giving him a concussion. he threw Mike into the fire and barricaded the door. A few minutes later, Paisley Mike was rescued by Nori Samuel, and he's been in the hospital since, recovering from smoke inhalation, 2nd degree burns, a head laceration, and a concussion.
Currently, there isn't much that has happened to Mike. Other than having to live with a hallucination of a man he wants himself to be, hes also frequently goijg to McDonald's, asking for whoppers. It celebrates Out of Touch Thursday every single week.
Just because he's silly and funny, it does not mean he's stupid. He may not act like it, but he is really smart and intelligent. He can get serious, and rather rude when the time calls for it. He only acts silly to try and put a smile on people's faces during miserable times, even if he can't keep himself happy.
==Relationships==
*Mark - Canon: Mark and Michael are husbands. They very first met each other in elementary school, and eventually started dating when they were around 15 years old. They both tied the knot in 1987, and they've been inseparable ever since. They both love each other very much, and will go to any length to prove it.
Michaelverse: Mark is Paisley Mike's ex-husband. Mark hates Paisley Mike and wants it dead, but it still believes that Mark loves it. He doesn't want to really actually think that it's true Mark hates him. Even though he's set his house and apartment on fire, stabbed him in the heart, and made him look like an ass at his birthday party. Paisley Mike is a little bit scared of Mark and what he'll do, but he still loves him. 
*Saturn Mike - Paisley Mike sees Michael as his best friend. Paisley Mike began hanging out with them mostly at the pond. Until recently, he had no idea what Michael looked like. It doesn't care that he's a walking talking living corpse, he's just happy to have a friend. Paisley Mike often finds himself visiting Michael for the smallest of things and the stupidest of reasons. Most of the time it's just for quick chit-chats. He sees Michael as his only best friend, and is somewhat attached. It's unaware that sometimes it can be a nuisance or inconvenience to his friend, but all he wants is to hang out with Michael, and have someone there for him.
*Noodles - Mike shared Noodles with Mark before the divorce. During the apartment fire, Mike threw Noodles out first thing to protect him from melting and dying. Michael sees him as an "almost son", but the feeling is in no way mutual.
*Qwerty - Mike met Qwerty the day after its birthday. He sees him as his "fucked up snake rabbit hallucination friend".
*Rus Mike - They haven't really interacted that much. Paisley mike likes to sneak into her house and rummage through her cabinets for, and steal, her cups of noodle. It always asks her either "Do you have cup of noodle?" or "Do you have easy mac?"
* Delusion - Delusion is a hallucination from Paisley Mike. When ever Michael is "going through it", Delusion comes around to help out... by talking down to it and chastising it, He's pushed Mike to tears a few times, just because of how harsh and mean he can be. His other job, whether he likes it or not, is to protect Mike's mental and emotional wellbeing. It's clear he's not very good at that job, seeing as Michael has not been very happy lately, He does help protect by trying his absolute best to keep it away from Mark, and to keep it from attempting to "get back together with him". He and Paisley Mike do not get along at all, but they're stuck together wether the other likes it or not.
==Trivia==

*There is a major running gag/inside joke in Michaelverse that it is very short. 
**Because of this, it is sometimes nicknamed 'Hamster Mike' or 'Oompa Loompa Mike'
*Mike has a "friend" named Delusion. He is a hallucination only Mike, other hallucinations, entities, and animatronics can hear and see.

**Delusion has been more active since June 11
