Name: Michelangelo
Nicknames: Mikey, Mike, Michael, and Danny (he doesn't know where that one came from)
Name Meaning: It is a combination of Michael (Hebrew) "who resembles god?" and Angelo (Greek) "messenger"

Sex: Male
Age: Varies on use, but I'm gonna say he's Buster's age, only a little older than the Tramp (I'm gonna guess that they're around four years)
Breed: He's lineage is too mixed up to say exactly what breeds he has in him
Personality:  Michelangelo is a rather cocky guy; he is straight-forward about everything and loves a lot of company. He's the "bad boy" type who tends to cheat and steals from others to get his way, and he lies a lot to save his own hide. Michelangelo also is a flirty guy, but he's one who prefers to date one girl at a time. Michelangelo can be sweet and funny when he wants to then harsh and demanding the next moment you see him. He is cunning and loves to tease his friends by bringing up things that have happened in the past or events that have died down. He's a hypocrite, but claims he is not. Michelangelo is easily annoyed, especially by random dogs stealing his meals, and is very food aggressive. Though he's not generally an aggressive dog, just don't take his food and Michelangelo won't want to end you.

Crush: He had a crush on Peg, Ruby, and Champaign
Crushers: Possibly Peg, but how's he to know? Maybe Ruby, too...

Current Mate: Nope.
Past Mate: He was mates with Peg when they were younger, but that was the Tramp's girl at one point and his friend wasn't too happy about that and Tramp's interference contributed to their break-up. He also had dated Ruby for some time but they broke up as well. Lastly, Michelangelo was mates with Champaign and they lasted for a long while...until he found out that she had kids by other males and never told him.
Puppies: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope....
Friends: He and Buster were partners in crime and still are even to this day; Michelangelo was good friends with the Tramp, too. Now, as adults, he and Buster are still cool, but he can't say the same for Tramp.
Enemies: None

History: Michelangelo was actually born into a  litter of five, but somehow the other four died at birth, leaving him as the soul survivor of his parents' first litter. Eventually, after he reached six months of age, Michelangelo's father and mother broke up, but he was still able to visit his dad every once in a while, but his mother soon forbade her only son to visit his father anymore.

Michelangelo soon left his mother in order to start a life of his own. Yes, she though he was too young, but it wasn't like she actually cared either...
At a year old, Michelangelo had gotten himself associated with the streets it their way of life; stealing wasn't seen as a crime, only to people, and it was what he had to do to stay alive. There was also the "survival-of-the-fittist" thing out to haunt him on several occasions; Mikey fell ill more than once, but lucky for him, he would always get over his sickness sooner than he thought.

Michelangelo made friends with a dobermann mix named Buster. Well, they weren't immediately the best of friends, and things were sour between them often. Michelangelo had met Buster on one of his usual routs to Snob Hill where he'd beg and be cute for the people living there to get leftovers. He had seen the black dog begging at the house that gave away the best bones in the city, and Michelangelo confronted the dobermann mix about this after the person closed the door. Buster only told the pointed-eared dog to "calm down", but Mikey was convinced that his chances of getting food from that particular house if he and Buster went there were going to be gone.
After he chased Buster out of the neighborhood, Michelangelo went on with his route, but when he returned to his street home, he saw that dog again, but he payed him no attention. However, Michelangelo saw Buster at the same house the day after that, and the day after, and the day after that, and the day after that...it annoyed him to the point where he ran Buster right into the junkyard. Unfortunately,  for him, Buster was on his home turf, and a group of his other friends jumped Michelangelo.
After that, they called a truce on their little "war" and headed off in their own directions. The two of them crossed paths again, only to have a decent conversation on what had happened to them in the past few days. After that, they talked more and found out that they had a lot in common. It didn't take long for Buster and Michelangelo to become close friends and they were hardly seen without the other. Both of them always had each other's backs in everything and were as close as brothers.

One day, after getting a score on some other dog's stash of food, Michelangelo and Buster were carrying it back to the junkyard when they were ambushed. After an unsuccessful fight, they had their meal stolen by some skinny gray dog. Michelangelo opted to pursue him, but Buster held him back, saying that it wasn't worth it. But to Mikey, every meal was worth it.
The entire trip back home was nothing but Michelangelo complaining about their loss, and the two friends were confronted by the same gray dog. He stated that he liked the way they fought earlier and that his name was Tramp. He asked if they were interested in accepting any new members into their two-dog gang, saying he, Michelangelo, and Buster would make a pretty good team. Buster denied his request, much to Michelangelo's glee, and they went back home.

That wasn't the last time they saw Tramp; Buster and Mikey ran into the hooded-eyed, lanky dog again and again. Eventually, they let him join their little group, and the Tramp was soon accepted as part of the Junkyard Dogs.

Though Buster and Tramp were cool, that didn't mean he and Michelangelo were. Mikey cared about Tramp's well-being, but not much, but he did get Tramp hooked up with Peg (by accident), but when they broke up, Michelangelo went after her and had himself a new girl. Tramp found out and made it his duty to stay around the new couple constantly, giving them no time to themselves and trying to show Peg that he wasn't over her.
Peg and Michelangelo soon broke up because of Tramp and Michelangelo tried not to hold a grudge against his now non-friend. Instead, he started to date Ruby, the only other female dog left in the Junkyard Dogs after Peg left, but their relationship didn't last long either.

As they got older, the trio went their separate ways, living in different parts of the city. Michelangelo soon traveled to the New York borough of Queens, Long Island, where his mother had moved not to long after he had reached his first year of age. He lived a complicated life with her, but he visited her as often as he could, though he hated it.

Future: Now at almost four and a half years of age, Michelangelo came home from Long Island. The mutt was glad to be back and was surprised to see how everything had changed since he was gone.

Ever since his ungrateful mother passed away, Michelangelo felt free as a bird. Sure he missed her, but not the fights she picked for no reason and he swore he'd never forgive her for not letting him see his dad, but he decided to...but only for his father's sake.
Once back in the New England town, Michelangelo searched all over the area for his friends, but to no avail. After giving up, Michelangelo walked the same path he used to take to get to Snob Hill and trotted though the same neighborhood he had met Buster in. He saw how almost all of the houses had been remodeled since 1907 and they all had fenced in yards now. Great.

After an hour of just walking around, Michelangelo saw a familiar face. One with a tan mustache, gray fur, and brown eyes that were no longer hooded. Tramp.
Michelangelo ran up to his old buddy, who was sitting on the porch of a large mansion, a golden cocker spaniel was sitting beside him. As Michelangelo ran up, the Tramp narrowed his eyes and jumped to his feet, and the cocker spaniel backed up a little bit.

After stating that it was him, Michelangelo was introduced to Lady, the Tramp's...mate? He was sure he and Peg would have ended back together. Tramp introduced Michelangelo to his kids, too. There were four of them: three were girls and looked like their mother, and the last was boy who looked like the Tramp.
Needless to say, Michelangelo wasn't too happy for Tramp's choices. Street dogs weren't supposed to have families! A mate or a couple more, sure, but not puppies and living with a human family! On Snob Hill of all places!

After he told Tramp this, the two had a fight, out in the yard and way from the kids and Mrs. Lady of course, and Tramp told Michelangelo if he wasn't happy with his own way of life and disrespected it, that Mikey should leave. And he did.

Michelangelo went off to find Buster and headed to the junkyard, believing that he would possibly find his friend there. He did, and the two had a nice reunion, Michelangelo even saw a few of the old dogs who were in the old Junkyard Dogs gang, and he saw a few new faces as well, including a beautiful golden-furred dog named Champaign.
Michelangelo thought she was b-e-a-utiful and made a move on her. It didn't take long for them to start dating and they lasted longer than he and Peg and Ruby had. But everything went downhill when he found out that she had other kids by another guy. Michelangelo immediately broke the relationship up, believing that his girl was still with the other guy, but Champaign told him she wasn't. Michelangelo never believed her, though.

Before the entire "I'm-dating-Champaign" thing had begun, Michelangelo asked if Buster knew that Tramp was now a House Pet. His friend already knew and told Michelangelo that, a few months after he had left town, he and Tramp had met up again and stuck together. They went back to the junkyard and crowned themselves king, since the old leader had died, and ran the place. Buster realized that Tramp had been running off to visit this little House Pet on Snob Hill, and had no problem with that until Tramp went and married her, but Buster gave him a choice: Stay a Junkyard Dog or be a House Pet, and Tramp choose the latter and began "livin' the cushy pillow life" with Lady.

Afterwards, they stuck together and watched the gang's size grow smaller and smaller due to the other dogs realizing how easy it was for them to get a loving family and they all moved out to Snob Hill. Eventually, Michelangelo stopped being part of the gang, too, but he didn't betray Buster like the Tramp did; instead, Michelangelo would come back around, always collar free, and hang out with his friend and the new Junkyard Dogs.

Likes: Buster and Tramp (formerly), some of Buster's other friends, girls, having fun, eating, getting his way, hanging out with his "pack," having no responsibilities and no family of his own to deal with, being a stray dog
Dislikes: Loosing, getting his meals stolen, Tramp (now more than ever), getting hurt, when he gets rejected by girls, reminding Tramp that he's a stray who doesn't want a home, firecrackers, horses, hyenas and zoos, Snob Hill, the "cushy pillow life"
Hates: Cheesy romances, fleas, being called a wolf or a German shepherd, being called "mutt", cats, when someone says something negative about his big paws, loosing sleep, not having enough food to go around, being proven wrong, and being called a hypocrite (though he is one), House Pets, that Champaign never told him of her other kids
