Profile
As the sheriff, Mike is a natural-born leader, taking his job very seriously, but of course... not too seriously. He cares deeply for his department, and while his heart lies with the law, he will not hesitate to go out of his way and deal with things off the books.
After being suspended for shooting a definitely-NOT-a-dog, Mike's ended up in the monsterhunting business. Right now monsterhunting is just a pursuit to get his revenge and kill time... right?
- Monster of the Week character.
- His playbook is the custom playbook, The Law.
- Sheriff of Lyon County, Nevada where he was born and raised.
- Eldest brother, two younger (Kodey, Andrew), Mother passed away naturally. Is an uncle.
- Loyal/Loose Cannon
- Vengance vs Justice
Mike dresses like basically any rural Sheriff, checkered shirts, jeans, his hat, and of course, his cowboy boots. The police-issued bulletproof vest helps with monsterhunting though.
Mike's very tall and has an athletic build. His face is more circles/ovals than his square body.
- Sheriff hat, blue jeans & checkered shirts, cowboy boots, hidden vest.
- Dirty blonde hair, cowboy moustache. Dark brown eyebrows/stache
- Almond, dark brown eyes + Pointed nose
- Long (roundish) face
- Very Tall, Trapezoid Bodyshape
Enthusiastic, that's definitely a word to describe Mike. Maybe a bit too much. A confident leader, with great compassion and loyalty that runs deep, Mike's role as Sheriff comes naturally.
But Mike has difficulty doing any but his job, being a bit of a workaholic. Plus he's a little obnoxious with all that enthusiasm and stubborn about his ways. Not to mention his temper and well, you've heard the rumours that he's a bit of a loose cannon...
Mike's only real dream throughout his life has to become Sheriff. And he got it and then got it taken away from a not-dog. Now stuck with suspension, he's got time to kill... and a werewolf. Deep down, Mike wants a family but struggles with putting anyone in front of his job.
- Kill the werewolf.
- Return home after his suspension.
- Protect and serve.
- Ultimately, be with 'family'.
Mike lost count of the number of skeletons in his closet. He'll say he doesn't regret it, and he mostly doesn't. Mike hates feeling useless and lacking freedom, truly fearing being unable to help.
- General corruption and loose canon behavior.
- Assaulted a prosecuted person because they were an abuser.
- Turning a blind eye to Julia's actions.
- Slightly afraid of horses, will never admit this.

-
Experienced Sheriff
Mike's trained and experienced in law enforcement, trained with guns, tactics and knowledge of the law.
-
Fuck Around & Find Out
Mike's extremely confident, probably problematically. A natural leader and level-headed (except for his temper), he adapts quickly.
-
Act First, Think Later
While Mike is capable of complex tactics and analysis, Mike's definitely more the... reckless type. Not the best trait in monsterhunting.
-
In Pursuit of Justice
Mike values justice over most things. Being extremely stubborn and vengeful, if Mike's not on the team's side, god help them.
BASIC MOVES
MOVE: Natural Authority
STYLE: Loose Cannon
- Dad & Andrew & Julia in Fernley, Nevada.
- Kodey, Monday & Matthew in Lee Vining, California.
- Loyalty/Obligation to Lyon County Sheriff Department, Fernley, Nevada.
- 'Falsely accused' and suspended for killing a dog (and other things).
- Assaulted a prosecuted person because they were an abuser. Person has been released.
- Revolver and hat are family heirlooms.
- General stresses of job and corruption.
- Turning a blind eye to Julia's actions.
Born and raised in Fernley, Lyon County, Nevada. Mike had a good childhood, with his parents and two younger brothers. An ADHD child, Mike was chaotic; climbing trees, rock-climbing, Scouts, football, everything athletic. But, he always wanted to be a Sheriff like his dad. He was a good big brother (but he always was the coolest), and he had a good amount of friends. A C-grade student unless he enjoyed it, in which he got As.
The teen years made Mike a bit more intense, but no less athletic. He kept playing American football, and embraced a jock lifestyle. Still in Scouts as well, his grades still suffered from disinterest. Having a few girlfriends here and there, Mike was still totally cooler then his brothers. His parent's expectations dampened him a little, but he knew what he wanted.
After school, Mike worked as Tow Driver for Police Force, never letting his goal leave his eyes. He also worked with Scouts as he waited till he could finally join the Police Academy. After that, Mike passed with flying colours and climbed the ranks to Sheriff.
Mike's had many girlfriends but many stuck long enough for him to grieve over the loss. While his brothers found love, Mike founded a family in his Sheriff's Office. Work was Mike's love, and that was good enough for him.
Except when he shot, well, it wasn't a dog. Something that looked, well, inhuman. Then being suspended for killing it ("It didn't die!" "Sheriff Martinez the blood on the scene proves that impossible."), and being led down a rabbit hole led Mike too well, monster-hunting.
- Drinking/Cigarettes/Cigars
- Family
- Sex
- Guns
- Gambling
- Casual TV
- Not Working
- Disrespect
- Commitment
- Cannot ride a horse and is slightly afraid of them. Would not admit this.
- Is child-free for many reasons, but especially doesn't want to pay child Helping.
- Has plenty of monogamous short-term relationships. Doesn't do hookups, but can never seem to commit to long-term. Was more of a player when he was younger.
- Typical weekend includes working, working and thinking about working.
- Sees his team as family.
- Has experience in the Scouts, and American Football.
- Probably Republican.
dad - amicable
Mike and his Dad have similar personalities and interests, I mean, his dad was literally a Sheriff! But Dad's a lot gruffer and harsher than Mike, with a lot of unresolved trauma. That doesn't mean they don't love each other, but he can't really communicate it. Talk about once a month, really loved Mom.
mom - deceased
Mike got some of his intensity from his mom, who was serious and had high expectations but loving. Like his dad, his mom was a byproduct of an unhealthy background never resolved. An unhappy stay-at-home mother, she expected a lot because she loved her kids. They only talked about a once month before she passed. Mike was upset but didn't deeply grieve.
younger brother / great
Mike and Kodey are similar, and Kodey always wanted to be as cool as his brother growing up. Though Kodey's probably a healthier version of what Mike should be; very by the books, humorous and responsible. Instead of becoming a Sheriff, Kodey became Park Ranger and chased after his now wife Monday to California. An adventurous socialite, Kodey's a well-rounded guy, though a bit absent-minded (maybe the undiagnosed ADHD has something to do with that...).
sister-in-law / amicable
While Kodey's wife, Mike doesn't know her well but they've always been on friendly terms. They see each other when Mike visits and Monday's a nice girl. Could do with some self-confidence though.
nephew / good
Mike's awesome nephew, who's a rambunctious kid like him growing up, sporty, outdoorsy and with definitely undiagnosed ADHD. Mike's got a great soft spot for the kid and always spoils him a bit when he visits.
youngest brother / fine
Both brothers care about each other but, well, they don't have much in common. As a mechanic and overall straightforward man, Andrew doesn't have much in common in both interests and personality. Andrew's always been the outcast, but again, they care for one another, but only talk occasionally.
'sister-in-law' / complicated
Julia and Mike have a complicated relationship. She's a criminal (drugs) and he's too lenient because he cares about Andrew. He thinks she's a terrible person but hopes he's wrong for Andrew's benefit. He wishes he could save her from herself (but she doesn't want to be saved.)
