● abilities: low latent inhibition combined with a high IQ make Michael something of a creative genius, human super-computer, calculator and code-breaker capable of creating and executing complex solutions to near-impossible problems. If the average person thinks in 2D stereo, Michael thinks in 3D with surround sound.
● strengths: -determined/iron will Michael is an unstoppable force of nature. Where there is a will there is a way, and no one has more will than Michael does. Once he sets his mind to something, he will follow it through to completion or die trying. There is no risk too great. No fear, danger, or obstacle he won't face; he can't be bribed, convinced, or intimidated into backing down. He is David, and the world is his Goliath.
-mastermind/genius Michael spent 3 years orchestrating the plan to break Lincoln out of Fox River, crossing every T and dotting every I. He is a master problem solver, strategist and MacGyver in his own right. With his high IQ and low-latent inhibition, he is extremely high-functioning, capable of thinking on his feet and making decisions with surgical precision under extreme conditions. When Michael is planning, no detail is too small, and no stone left unturned. Even his back-up plans have back-up plans.
-inspirational/charismatic Despite having no desire to lead, Michael has many leadership qualities that draw people to him. His motto is to "be the change you want to see in the world," and through his bravery and determination, he inspires those around him to be that change too. The perpetual underdog, Michael has more friends than enemies, if only because he has a funny way of turning enemies into friends.
-empathetic/loving Michael is highly attuned to the emotions of people around him, and wears his heart on his sleeve. At his core, he is a helper, always picking up strays and reluctant to turn his back on those in need. Compassionate and non-judgemental, he bonds instantly with people and forms deep connections. Before he dedicated his life to saving Lincoln, he had founded his own charity and volunteered most of his spare time to an outreach center for at-risk youth. He is fiercely loyal to those he loves, and will do anything for them.
● weaknesses: -obsessive/compulsive Once he became convinced of Lincoln's innocence, Michael devoted his life to freeing him. When it became apparent the law wasn't on his side, he chose to break the law, destroy his life and career and to isolate himself to save him. There is no length he won't go to, or bridge he won't burn, and people inevitably get caught in the crossfire. Michael becomes fixated, unable to think about anything but the next steps in his plan, the ends justifying the means. Michael became a fugitive, terrorist, and murderer, all to save Lincoln.
-manipulative/deceitful Michael's high EQ allows him to read people, and also to use them. He finds their weaknesses, and exploits them with brutal efficiency, and discards them when they're no longer relevant. Anything between him and his goals or the people he loves is collateral damage; he is a chess player, and everyone is a pawn. Michael can be as cold as he is caring, not above threatening, coercing, blackmailing, seducing, and throwing others under the bus.
-low self-esteem/self-destructive Michael comes from a broken home, everyone he's ever loved abandoned him at some point, and he has no sense of self-worth. He will sacrifice his own well-being and happiness for others. Despite being in therapy since he was a child, he has never recovered from the trauma of his childhood abandonment and abuse. He internalizes his pain rather than seeking help, highly self-critical, feeling unworthy of care, and isolates himself rather than face rejection. Michael is devastated by failure, every loss a blow to his confidence, and holds himself personally responsible for the consequences of actions only tangentially related to his own.
-hyper-sensitive/unstable Michael's hyper-sensitivity to the environment and people around him comes at a cost. Unable to turn his brain or heart off, he has no filter, seeing and feeling everything, including the pain of others. When the stimulus becomes too much to bear, he snaps, lashing out at himself and whoever is closest. Losing direction, or sense of purpose, causes him to spiral out of control, or shut down completely.
Hypothalamic Hamartoma - Michael also has a tumor on his hypothalamus, which is terminal. The effects range from nose bleeds to migraines and loss of consciousness.
