You guys don't know how we're going to get ourselves stronger, you guys don't know how we'll get anything better than what we have, the world seems to contrive itself to confine us here...

****Michael**** is one of the protagonists of the story and one of the first characters who joined the unofficial group of rebels, alongside Steve and Bob. He can be considered the rogue of the group.

## Also Known As

* Mike
* Mickey

## Backstory

Michael is part of a wandering bands of nomads, who made it their goal to map out the vast world for any other travelers. His band split up at a certain point, each equipped with several sheets of paper and many different inks, perfect for designing their maps. His path just so happened to bring him to Yharim's territory, and he's been charting all the way. When his traveling leads to some monsters boxing him into the area, he soon meets Steve, who saved him.

So, while he's unable to destroy these forces reliably, he chose to hang out with him, and later Bob, to save his skin.

## Role

### Pre-Hardmode Arc

Michael was the first character to appear in the first arc, emerging from off-island in hopes of mapping out a new land. He soon finds himself in the middle of a desert, and surrounded by a group of hungry Cnidrions, only to be saved from them by Steve, before teaming up with him and later Bob, who informs them of the looming threat of the world that is the Tyrant King Yharim. Since then, the three have set out on a grand quest to take down the twisted ruler, making more allies along the way in Seony, Deedee,and Calamitas, and slaying malevolent monsters such as the Desert Scourge, Hive Mind, Slime Core and Wall of Flesh. Michael could typically be seen as the cartographer of the group, making sure to map out any area they discovered during their travels. He would also specialize in both rogue weapons and spears.
