Appearance:
        Michael you is a mobian chimpanzee that seems to be in his early thirties. His black fur is well groomed but is starting to grey a bit, and his jet-black head fur is only slightly longer than the rest of his fur but is still a solid black. His eyes are a dark blue, and are several shades darker than his faded blue denim overalls. He doesn't wear any footgear on his 'feet', since as a chimpanzee; his feet are practically a second set of hands.
        On his waist, is a tool belt full of various tools, and there is even a duct tape dispenser on it. Although the belt and the tools in it look somewhat worn and old, upon closer inspection of any of the tools would realize that the tools are still in good condition for their age since it is apparent that the tools were made before the Coup took place, and were made to last.

Abilities:
        Michael is a teacher, although since he was trained to teach wood shop and metal shop classes he isn’t the best at teaching math, language, or science, but as the number of people who were educated before the coup is rather low and teachers are in short supply, he’s been willing to teach other subjects as best he can.
        Due to Michael’s training to teach wood shop and metal shop classes he’s also quite skilled at making and fixing things although he lacks the skills to make electronics.
        Michael is an incredible climber that feels more at ease when in a tree than on the ground. This is partially due to the fact his feet have opposable thumbs and are effectively a second set of hands he can use when hanging by his tail.

Personality:
        Michael is patient and kindhearted, although he is old enough to remember the great war, and as such has a slightly different view on things than the younger freedom fighters as Michael knows that wars don’t last forever, and that peace is very fragile. However Michael isn’t very tolerant of people who refuse to follow the rules. From experience and training, Michael knows that in many situations disregarding the rules can easily get someone injured or worse due.

History:
        Before the coup Michael Maynard was a teacher at a high school in Middletown where he taught both the metal shop and wood shop classes. In his spare time he was always repairing things around the school anytime something broke down. When Robotnik’s forces invaded Middletown during the Coup, Michael was in the school and hid in a part of the basement few people knew about. After all not many people went into the parts of the basement where tons of heating pipes were, which ironically enough hid Michael from the heat sensors of the SWATBots. After things calmed down that night he snuck out picked up some items from his nearby home and then fled the city. Not long after Michael wound up in Channelwood village where he has lived ever since.
