However the physical addiction of a drug is not what keeps an addict coming back time and time again. The physical addiction to any drug can be kicked very easily, it's the mental addiction, the false dependency of the drug that keeps you coming back time and time again. For Mickey, he 'needs' the Speed to keep going. In reality, if he didn't have it, there would be no consequence, however, mentally he would start to break down slowly, until he was able to grasp that he didn't need the drug and convince himself that it wasn't necessary.
Likes: Drinking, Partying, Rock Music, Brawling, Fast Cars, Money, and Wild Girls
Dislikes: Posers, Religious Fanatics, Finicky People
Main Supernatural Ability: If he talks with someone long enough they just start to see things his way, believing in what he says and genuinely giving in to him.
Other/Minor Supernatural Abilities: Has a knack for knowing how people around him feel and when they're lying.
Drawbacks To Supernatural Abilities: If he spends to much time trying to 'convince' someone to see things his way, his tongue starts to take on a silver hue, if continued on the tongue slowly starts to turn silver, eventually leading to it looking like a tongue made out of genuine silver.
It's actually very simple and a very detrimental weakness. As his Guise doesn't cover this effect. So if he doesn't watch himself in public and he goes to far and people see this, then he could not only compromise himself but the discovery of the Demon Underground. Not to mention having to go into hiding again and go through all the trouble to recreate a new identity and find a new way to make a living, as well as risk losing the life-style he has become oh so accustomed to.
The tongue devolves back to normal color after an hour of not using his ability at all.
On top of that, using either of the other two abilities for too long will lead to an unbearable migraine as he takes in more information than his brain can handle.
Again an hour of not using these abilities will lead to the resolution of the migraine.
Character's Job: Alcohol Lobbyist
He doesn't want to resort back to illegal ways of gathering money but living forever he can't very well hold a public job. He hasn't forgot how to extort and blackmail people and along with his keen ability to 'convince' people that he is telling the truth. After he was turned and took on the appearance of his Guise he extorted a couple high up bureaucrats to re-create his identity as a 20 yr old guy with all the proper schooling needed for the profession. So as far as Integrity Spirits is concerned. He is a 34 year old, very successful employee that ages well and plays spin doctor very well.
Family Ties: Only known living relative in the states is a sister.
Her name is Caitlin, she came over to America with him on the boat in the late 50s from Ireland. She is 4 years younger than him.
Mickey is very protective of his sister and has a very close relationship.
Relationships: Lovers, no. He is very much a swinger, rich and cute he goes from girl to girl at his will, never found one able to keep his interest.
He mainly feeds on the girls he brings home with him, a little here and there, never enough to kill and just enough to stay alive. Some nights he will go through multiple girls if need be, more reason to why he never has settled down.
Friends, yes. Actual friends, no. Mickey is a very shallow individual, he doesn't keep friends. Although there are many people he hangs out with on a semi-regular basis, usually other Lobbyists.
Short Character History: Born in Cork, Ireland in the early 40s.
He came over to the states with his sister when he was only 15 yr old, seeking a cure for her illness. She had visions, so intense that she would wake up in the night screaming of nightmares.
Once finding a doctor who claimed to be able to cure, he found himself working for the mob to make money to pay for the doctor. This left him cold and uncaring. He always found himself lying to keep his head above the water.
The doctors over here found hallucinogenic drugs that suppressed the nightmares and allowed her to sleep peacefully.
He eventually moved to Portland to get as far away from the mob as he could to start a new life. His silver tongue caught the interest of couple big companies needing a face for the people.
He was attacked and turned by a vampire in the 70s, at first he hid from the public until a young girl found him and led him to the Demon Underground. After discovering his powers he re-emerged to the public and eventually landed a lobbyist job with Integrity Spirits.
He hid for 4 years before re-emerging. Only talking to his sister, telling her of what he had became, showing her. She was scared, terrified at first but didn't want to believe her brother was a monster. She stood beside him though, kept his secret. Was a familiar face for him to keep it together when time's were tough. A shoulder to bury his face in when he was to afraid to look at it for himself.
About 10 years ago his sister's visions started returning and the medicine stopped working, as a matter of fact, it seemed to be making them worse. She asked Mickey to make them stop, she pleaded for him to kill her, he couldn't do that. So he did the only other thing he could think of and turned her. He kept her a secret from the Demon Underground though, didn't want anyone else to know about her, to target her.
Now he's spent years hiding from the mob, they haven't found him yet, but its no doubt that they've been looking. The new face, the new powers have definitely helped.
He's had his hands full lately with the re-production of a formerly illegal in the U.S alcohol known as absinthe being reproduced by Integrity Spirits. However, Mickey still finds time for his high-profile lifestyle. He play spin doctor as soon as the sun drops making his job extra strenuous. He has multiple retainers and assistants that he pays to take care of his work during the day.
