One Michael Actassi Wheeler is a fairly well known fellow on the Felton waterfront. He's hard to miss, what with being over seven feet tall, built like a Maori Warrior with shockingly naturally light toned eyes and hair. He wears particularly baggie clothes and beanies to hide the even stranger aspects (such as his fin-like ears, spines, and fins on his arms an hips), but still he's an extremely noticeable fellow. Even without knowing about his less human attributes, Mike can be an intimidating looking guy - and given that he's a Deep One hybrid, fully capable of tearing a human apart with his hands and teeth (and has done so on more than one occasion in a fit of instinctive rage), there may be plenty of reason to be nervous around him if one really knew what he was.

At the same time, anyone who really knows Mike Wheeler will tell you he's a stand-up guy. Sure, he's done some things out of anger and made mistakes, but he's not proud of it. He's a hardworking guy and doesn't really like to stir up trouble if he can help it. He's happiest when he's traveling - he's been on boats since he was a babe - sailing around the world, taking on odd jobs and meeting new people - particularly if it's in hotter, more tropic climes.

He hasn't been close to the equator for a few years now, though; he's had to settle down some to help support his aging human father. He misses world trekking, but he loves the old man enough to put up with the cold New England winters. And at least Felton has plenty of places for Michael to unwind, enjoy a good drink, watch some sports and find pleasant company... Particularly of the intimate variety; Mike inherited more than his good looks from his mother's side, and his tastes in partners is very, very expansive. Man, woman, or other, as long as they're willing and interested in a man with more "exotic" aspects, Mike is very, VERY welcoming.

Another lovely headshot from  KawaiiJumi, and seriously, Mike came out GORGEOUS. I just love the colors, and Kawaii did a wonderful job on his Deep One features. Now, to just get more art of him fully drawn out, in all his tattooed glory... Hee. Good times.
