Mike Mormon

**Michael "Mike" Ryan Mormon** is the main titular character of the *Mike & Friends* franchise. He was designed and created by young Michael Pakenham. Pakenham's inspirations for this character are Ren Hoek from *The Ren & Stimpy Show*, Lincoln Loud from *The Loud House*, SpongeBob SquarePants and Squidward Tentacles from the show of the former's name. Pakenham created him in 2015, and originally made as an optimistic magician character apart of a show which would have been titled *Mike the Magician*. His last name was originally to be "Rodriquez", before being changed to "Moore", and finally settling on the last name "Mormon".

Mike is an ill-tempered and autistic teenager who has a short temper and a habit to collect various things such as DVDs, memorabilia, etc. He lives in Winston, New Hampshire. He has a pet cat named Buster, and two parents named Mark and Mary Mormon. He is often annoyed by his dimwitted best friend Connor Wettermenn and has a girlfriend named Missy Shellbee. He is also intriqued by the inventory of his nerdy inventor friend Kyle Anderson. He attends Winston High School with his friends, and works with Kyle at The Donut Shack for Doug Nutt.

Excluding the intro, end credits, and the M-Pack Productions logo, Mike has appeared in every single episode, except for "Con No Pay", beginning with the series' first episode "Mike's Lagoon". He is voiced by Michael Pakenham.

## History

Mike was born on October 8, 2002 in an undetermined town in Massachusetts. They moved to Winston, New Hampshire half a year later during the summer of 2003.

Before the events of the series, Mike attended elementary school. In 2011, while in school, Mike deals with his loneliness, until he witnessed Connor Wettermenn getting bullied by a bigger kid. Mike saves him by beating up the bully, resulting in him getting suspended from school for the rest of the week. From that day forward, Mike and Connor became best friends. Some time afterward, Mike befriends Kyle Anderson.

A few years later, Mike meets Missy Shellbee, in which they develop a loving relationship with each other later along the line. He also applies for a job at the The Donut Shack, a coffee-and-donut café, working alongside Kyle, employed by Doug Nutt.

As mentioned above, if the intro, end credits, and the M-Pack Productions logo don't count, Mike has appeared in every episode with the exception of "Con No Pay", making him appear in more episodes than any other character in the series, appearing in 30 episodes.
