In depth personality: Michael, while in a group, is rather independent and very much enjoys his solitude and being alone being he's asocial and much would rather not socialize with others unless he has to. He's reserved and a private person, and very aggressive when dealing with problems of any kind. He can be rude to strangers and has sort of a poor kid's mentality. When people talk bad about their parents or whine about their problems he's rather unsympathetic and blunt with them, being he feels he's had a pretty hard life. Despite some of his rather rude traits though, he cares about those around him and put them before himself. He's realistic and knows not to believe in fairy tales and false hopes, but manages to keep an optimistic and hopeful feel on things. He's brave and will stand his ground against anyone or anything no matter what it is, and is honest with everyone. He's mature for his age due to having to grow up at a young age forcefully, and his intelligent and decisive due to having to learn to lead people and take care of himself at the same time.

Backstory: Michael was born in Levard, Washington over a hundred years after the bombings. He lived a happy life with his parents before raiders took over the area and killed everyone in front of him. He was hiding during the attack, and the only reason his parents were caught in the fire was because they were looking for him. He was too scared to come to them, and caused them their lives in the process. He was forced to fled the area, then meeting up with some passing soldiers who took him to their base to have shelter. He was traumatized for awhile and needed help for the most part, but eventually he was able to control his emotions, but soon gained ASR and PTSD in the process. Michael didn't have a lot of friends growing up and he was rather asocial, only taking care of himself. He became a pickpocket and a thief, causing a lot of problems around the base for everyone. He had a robin hood/peter pan look on life and liked to help the lesser by stealing from the more capable. It was rare that he was ever caught, but one day he was caught and was cut in the face in the process, leaving a big scar on his face. From their on he'd begun to wear a plague mask to hide his face when he went out thieving. Around his mid teen years though, he gave up that life and became a soldier himself, enjoying the lifestyle of helping people. He eventually broke off from it though and wanted to start his own group that would help people at a faster rate than what the army was doing. He traveled around with his plague mask and weapon, looking for anyone who'd want to help people as well. He eventually found a group of people who had the same goals as him, and they began calling themselves "Propagandist" after learning what the word was and wanting to put a good meaning to it. For years after that, they've been trying to go around and help though in need in this world of nuclear Armageddon. While other factions are growing bigger, Michael and his small posy of troublemakers are making some progress themselves.
