GENERAL INFO ABOUT MIKE TRIO

All the Mikes act more-so as bodyguards with different roles to uplift Tenna.

SMALL MIKE/BATTAT

KEY POINTS:

-Elusive "Co-host" and spy for Mr.Tenna, does all of the surveillance around TV world as well as gathering intel on the Dreemurrs for Tenna's benefit.

-Dynamic with Mr. Tenna is somewhat flipped from the canon counterpart, Battat has a bit more leverage over him here. Though this dynamic wouldn't be outwardly admitted by Tenna, leaving it unspoken.

-Compared to his canon counterpart he is less concerned about only finding out who the real "Mike" is and is more concerned with uncovering Mr. Tenna's personal business. Which includes his past regarding Spamton. Becoming obsessed with finding out what had caused Mr.Tenna to change in the first place. Documenting everything.

-Helps to journal and create sensationalist headlines for Tenna.

GENERAL PERSONALITY:

-Smug, vain, overconfident, somewhat superficial. Deeply juxtaposed to canon Battat, he assumes he knows everything and knows it best, especially when it’s about Mr. Tenna.

-Due to being around and monitorting Mr. Tenna so much, Tenna's traits have somewhat naturally “rubbed off” on Battat. Especially in times of stress Battat tends to mimic his behaviors.

-He feels entitled about Tenna, wanting Tenna all to himself (like canon Battat) and is technically successful in doing so (unlike canon Battat) but at the cost of a skewed dynamic.

-Somewhat mirroring Mr. Tenna's loss of identity, he's lost himself in the entire Mike facade and has lost himself by being so absorbed with Tenna's past.

-Generally a bad influence on Tenna alongside Ramb (enabling the changes that caused Tenna to lose himself in the first place and spiral down into isolation as well as the tactics he uses to keep eyes on himself).

-No better than the fanatic Pippins, he's taken the concept to the extreme.

-Is still an emotional rock to Tenna here and heavily relied upon, deeply trusted by Tenna for better or for worse considering all of the past info he has kept on Tenna unbeknownst to him.

CAT MIKE/PLUEY

(Shadow Guy Design by Velvet)

KEY POINTS:

-Mike Trio's costume designer, Mr. Tenna's personal tailor, and stylist.

-Designed the Mike costumes and Tenna's "new" outfit (the current one he wears after giving into Ramb’s suggestions). Most trusted Mike he often goes to for (literally) keeping up appearances.

-Probably the most similar to his canon counterpart out of the three Mikes, mostly here for fun, enjoying the promotion from costume designer to Tenna’s personal stylist that he gets in this role.

GENERAL PERSONALITY:

-A bit more bold and "forward" in comparison to his canon counterpart's laid back and reserved attitude. Doesn't keep to himself as much and moreso nosy.

-He gets along incredibly well with Battat, unlike canon they're much more tightly knit due to their similar personalities. Especially since Pluey doesn't actually want to be personally involved with Tenna's feelings and emotional needs, allowing Battat to fully monopolize it.

(This in no way stops Tenna from still finding him cute, which Pluey is flattered by.)

-The Mike that Battat considers the most helpful in terms of gathering information and just knowing what others are saying about him.

COWBOY MIKE/JONGLER

(Zapper Design by Velvet)

KEY POINTS:

-The Mike who takes their role as bodyguard seriously.

-Although they're not versed at the whole gathering intel or reconnaissance like Battat is, they make sure to keep everything in physical order, ensuring Mr. Tenna's Safety and Privacy.

-Because of their clashing roles, intent, and personalities- Battat and Jongler do not get along well. Jongler was under the impression that the Mikes were here to aid Tenna, they weren’t really prepared for Battat spiraling into uncovering Tenna’s past and trying to co-host the whole show alongside him.

-Leaning more into an "Outlaw" Persona, they’re more imposing here and a little less “airheaded” than canon Jongler.

GENERAL PERSONALITY:

-More quiet and reserved compared to their canon counterpart. Willingly refuses to listen to Battat's commands, sometimes going out of their way to do the complete opposite. (Thinking of the bit in the actual Mike battle)

-For this reason, they have the better sense of humor of the three.

-The only Mike who feels a bit guilty about the vice grip that Battat and the idea of "Mike" in general has over Mr.Tenna. Feeling especially bad about the whole ruse, including Battat knowing and digging though Mr.Tenna's past and secrets.

-For this reason, when they're the Mike-of-the-Day they keep any new revelations they find out about Mr.Tenna secret from Battat, which can lead to arguments and infighting.

-Ultimately they are willingly still a part of the Mike Trio. They can be amiable and silly with the other two.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

MORE INFO TO COME IN THE FUTURE !!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR READING <3

this secretive behavior extends to you as well, for as long as possible. even if you're closer to Null than anyone else has been, he just...doesn't trust how you'll handle this information just yet. it's nothing personal against you, but it's completely habitual of him to hide this from everyone.

unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before you find out, whether it's of his own volition or not. perhaps you come into his office when he's mindlessly got a lollipop in his mouth, and he's so comfortable with you by now that he doesn't register that he's supposed to hide it until it's too late. maybe one day he just gets tired of having to play this stupid hiding game so much more, now that you're around so often, so one morning he makes his "usual" black coffee with his actual preference of sugar and creamer and doesn't look back. at this point, he'd rather just deal with whatever consequences of you finding out will entail as opposed to hiding a part of himself from you for presumably the rest of his life.

of course, Null's going to be embarrassed no matter how his sweet tooth is revealed to you. and when he gets embarrassed, he gets angry, but in your case his anger thankfully smothers down to no more than snappy or curt responses. no, he's not going to explain how long he's been hiding sweets for. no, he's not going to explain why he hid this from you for so long. ...no, you can't have any. NO, DON'T TELL THE OTHERS— FINE YOU CAN HAVE SOME—

all that he demands asks of you is that you don't snitch. he's already very familiar with how his employees work, so all he wants you to do is just...pretend you don't know, just like the rest of them. play along with the assumption that he went off for a smoke break. he doesn't really expect you to follow the same protocol of not disturbing him in his office, but otherwise he doesn't want to hear a word about this outside that room or whatever private living space you two share by now.

if you decide to be nice or you have your own sweet tooth to indulge in, you could surprise Null with treats, pastries, and the like – even better if you made them yourself. if you tell him that tidbit, he's likely going to be stunned into silence for a long moment. you...made this? for him? as much as he usually wants you to ignore his swaying plug-in cord or the colored bars on his screen when you catch him off guard, his internal system is genuinely overheating a little over your kindness, especially towards him. he might even openly take amusement if you designed any of your sweets to be themed by or even resemble him, and likely poke fun at it a little if your work is a bit shoddy. he means well, he just adores you so much and struggles to handle the full extent of it, so he falls back on being a bit mean to cope.

honestly, him teasing your craftsmanship could make a good segue to making treats together with him – if he thinks your little drawing of him with icing is mediocre, then you'd like to see how he fares at it. and while you're at it, get him to wear the frilly pink apron, too; he'll bitch and moan a little with how much it clashes against his usual style, but he can't deny that it's helping keep the mess of flour off of him; he'll grow into it eventually and defend it with his life, since you gave it to him. plus, his complaints won't last long when he sees how much fun you're having doing this together, even more so if it turns out that his skills with drawing with icing is even worse than yours.

if you're willing to keep Null's sweet tooth a secret (not like he gives you a choice, since he just brainwashes anyone else that finds out into forgetting), then it makes for a cute bonding opportunity overall between the two of you. he's trying to work on trusting you with this, which really helps strengthen your general connection with him, letting him see that he can trust you with more of himself over time. frankly, having this be a little secret between you and him is fun at times, like it's some inside joke that only the two of you understand.

This was meant to be blu's soul.. I've been playing with the idea of a hypothetical au where Blu is a lighter, or alternatively a music box with a soul trapped inside of it. I personally like the ladder but it feels unrealistic, So it will stay in au concept purgatory
