Mikey is hot-headed and impulsive, he tends to act on the first thought that comes to mind and rarely thinks things through. He tends to be brash and abrasive, though this is mostly a product of his  the environment in which he grew up, unless you manage to get on his good side, you should expect some snide remark or kind of mockery. If one does get to know Mikey, they might be able to see his kinder, more lenient side, as the greaser tends to protect those that he cares about, however, there aren't many. Despite this, he has a strong moral compass and works for the right cause, he will always do the right thing in the end.


Mikey Moretti was born on January 20, 1940 in Florence Italy to Don and Anita Moretti, a salesman and a house wife. He was the second child of three, his older brother of three years was Andy; his sister,  Gina, was born a year after him, three months after her birth, the Moretti family fled to America, in hopes of escaping Hitler and Mussolini. After a rocky start, the family settled down in the suburbs of Oklahoma, where they were quickly demonized and rejected. As he grew up, Mikey began to notice the divide between his family and their neighbors, which made him begin to resent the hostility and evil of others. By the time he was twelve, he was already living as a greaser, and had been branded as an outcast and a delinquent by his classmates, however, this did not deter him from living his life. Eventually, after settling with the truth about his sexuality, Mikey subtly began to look for someone he could spend the rest of his life with, he found this in his old friend turned boyfriend; Johnny Rossi. The two were madly in love, but knew they would never be accepted by their families or gang and began to form plans of escape. Finally, when they turned sixteen, Mikey and Johnny stole Andy's car and tried to drive out of town, but were stopped by a group of preppy guys who had discovered their sexuality. Drunk and delirious, the four planned on murdering the two greasers, but before they could shoot them, a strange figure approached from the shadows and burned them alive. He told them that there was a way to escape the oppression and bigotry of their time if he came with them, so they did.

The strange man,  who later introduced himself as Hat, "released" them from the bonds of age, allowing them to continue without growing older. and the capability to learn magic, as well as  the power to conjure and manipulate electricity. For the next thirty years, he would continue to teach the boys on different forms of magic and spells, as well as familiars for greater power, but, unfortunately, a stray hex left Johnny separated from Mikey in a dimension very far away. Devastated, Mikey has vowed to find a way to bring his boyfriend back to him while also dealing justice to the evil and hate that runs rampant in the world.

N/A.


Mikey lives in a separate dimension, where the sky and horizon are just black voids. Here, he has brought in various cars, sheets of metal, and even a projector with screen to create his own drive-in movie theater as his home.


Mikey sat silently, watching the film that was playing on his screen with mild amusement, things weren't the same since Johnny had gone, he'd lost all interest. Most days, he'd lie around like this, waiting for his boyfriend to appear through that pathetic excuse for a door with chocolates and flowers in hand like he had so many times before. But he knew, deep-down, he knew that it was unrealistic, that it wouldn't happen for a long time, a very long time.

Picking himself up, Mikey hopped off the roadster he had been lying on and went to shut off the projector, he looked back at the cozy little drive-in one last time before leaving to check on Hat. Maybe he'd have something to entertain Mikey or just anything, anything to distract him from the emptiness he was feeling.

Anything would be great.
