Michael
Background
Michael's journey took him from Southern California to Nevada, where he pursued his dreams of becoming a doctor. During his time there, he crossed paths with Trish, a talented fencer aspiring to compete in the Olympics. The two embarked on a tumultuous relationship, which was marred by Michael's escalating drug addiction. He attributed his substance abuse to the overwhelming workload he faced as a medical student.
Struggling to cope with his addiction and the mounting pressures of his studies, Michael made a difficult decision to abandon his medical education and return to his home in California, with Trish by his side. Reuniting with his high school friends, Fei and Walter, Michael sought to rebuild his life and overcome his past struggles.
However, the return of Gob, who spoke of bizarre conspiracy theories and the existence of dark creatures concealed by powerful entities, shook Michael's perception of reality. Initially assuming that Gob had also fallen victim to his own personal demons, Michael offered his support in helping his friend reclaim his life. Little did he know that fate had something entirely different in store for him. Joining Gob and Fei on their first "Hunt," Michael expected nothing more than an adventure in goblin hunting near a local community college. To his shock and horror, they stumbled upon a nest of Chupacabra, experiencing firsthand the terrifying reality behind Gob's seemingly insane rants and warnings. Barely escaping the encounter with his life, Michael found himself transformed by the experience, discovering a newfound purpose.
The weight of the nightmares and horrors he witnessed eclipsed the stresses of his previous life, including the demands of schooling and financial obligations. Within the fear, Michael recognized an opportunity—an opportunity to leverage this nightmarish world for the realization of his ambitious dreams.
Tactics
Michael is a rogue that excels at versatility and supporting his allies while hindering his enemies with several Debuffs. Sneak Attack should be used to attack targets with high defense or to increase the odds of achieving a critical hit. This makes it an excellent choice for applying the Ether element on enemies. Shady provides Michael defense against ranged attacks while Disarm can disable a targets melee attack and also prohibit them from triggering attacks of opportunity. Whip Maneuver can be used to position enemies in line with a Beam or AOE or to move an ally into advantageous positioning.
