Michael tends to drink bordering on excessively. He remembers things that Joseph doesn't seem to about when the fighting broke out, while both saw the parents killed, Joseph has primarily blocked it out of his conscious mind. Michael has not and is very angry about it inside. He pretends not to care and tries to smother his feelings with getting drunk and having as much sex as possible. He often finds girls at whatever port they are at and tends to bring them home for the night. This upsets his brother because they share a quarters aboard the ship and Joseph has to make himself scarce through the night. Though Michael comes off as a brute often he is intelligent and cunning with a devious and mischievous side that few really want to cross. He escalates things quickly to a serious level without really considering the consequences - dragging his brother along for the ride often. When confronted socially with a slight, Michael is the kind of man to rewire someone's locking mechanism on a shower door to make sure they miss an important meeting.

Skills

Very physically strong, fairly street smart, good at reading a situation and breaking things down to their base elements. Has a way with people, can usually gain trust in a man's-man kind of way. Holds his liquor especially well and generally can keep a clear head when drunk, sleepy, or otherwise. Has a bit of an impulse control problem but not so much as to be self destructive. A passable pilot of small crafts.

Relationship with Joseph

Michael is the elder brother of the pair and has always been the physically stronger. Joseph almost always falls in line with what Michael things should be done unless he feels very strongly to the contrary. They both have learned to fit together like peas in a pod, very close and neither really knows how to live without the other - Joseph is more able to admit this than Michael but Michael is the first to step up should either be challenged, he pretends he could get along just fine and that his little bother needs him. This attitude fuel is rivalry that boarders on unfriendly sometimes, they can go sometimes months without talking to each other without a fight but try to split them up and anyone will find how tight knit they are. Psychologically they are extremely strong as a pair and able to cope with most anything that life throws at them. Although the Federation tried at one point to split them up before the Dominion War the file on the brothers expressly noted that this was not recommended and if attempted it would likely lead to the pair running away rather than capitulating.

Background

The bothers grew up on Silva II in the Federation-Cardassian boarder. In 2370 the Federation signed a treaty which gave Silva II to the Cardassian's and tried to resettle the population. The treaty spawned the creation of militant group, the Maquis who found for the freedom to keep their homes against both the Federation and the Cardassian governments. Their parents died before getting the chance to decide to join the Maquis or move away, when the real fighting started the brothers left the world behind them and never looked back. Largely the issues are still unresolved and neither bother will speak of it willingly.

After drifting around from colony to colony, with even a stint on Deep Space 9 as children they never really found a home. The brothers represent perfect examples of kids who slipped through the cracks. When the Federation tried to split the brothers up while living with a Starfleet couple's home on DS9 they ran. When war broke out they wanted no part of it, lied about their age and signed on with a Bajoran merchant of questionable reputation running cargo all over the quadrant.

When they finally approached true adulthood they decided they needed to get out from under their employer and start telling the truth about their age. They signed on with the Saffron Confederation as freelance cargo handlers signing short term contracts to get by. Eventually they found Thomas O'Reilly and signed on with him. They have extended the contract with him twice now but do not consider themselves to have found a home yet. Joseph likes to say they are professional wanderers but generally not around Michael who disapproves of the sentiment.
