History: Michael was born to an affluent family that granted him all the pleasures in life. His father opened up a famous sushi restaurant in Aldred and his mother, a novelist who had published a series of short romance novels throughout her career. His family life as a child was average, and he was never without attention as his mother was always home and his father's business was well off enough that there was never any financial stress. The loving family atmosphere made him a very kind person, often going well out of his way to help others.
He wasn't without his faults, however. Michael suffered from Bipolar II disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, always needing complete control over all aspects of his life. He always brushed his extreme downs as moments of catharsis and his ups as his most inspirational moments. Indeed, when Michael was hypomanic, he excelled at whatever he did.
He attended a private university in Aldred to study journalism. There he met who he always believed to be the love of his life, Ella, during his sophomore year. A year later, Ella had grown stressful of Michael's odd mood swings and his obsessiveness over her. She simply wanted to take a break, but the change caused Michael to fall into a deep depression. He could not shake the void that she left in his heart, and let the void devour him.
Michael dropped out of college and numbed himself with copious drug use. He had no desire or ambition to live after dropping out of college, and he slowly severed ties with all of his friends and family for a long period of time, spending his days working as a chef in a japanese restaurant franchise to spite his father. He spent most of his days at work, and when he wasn't, it wasn't uncommon to see him at a bar or at his dealer's house snorting whatever he could get his hands on.
After a year long addiction to cocaine, Michael suddenly stopped after realizing that it no longer numbed him. He solely focused on work and often chose quiet bars to drink away his life. On February 18 after three months of minimum contact with other people outside of work, Michael committed suicide by jumping off a bridge into oncoming traffic after experiencing a long existential crisis and loneliness.
