Michael Wherever: Difference between revisions

|index= '''''[[:Category:Featuring Michael Wherever|See category]]'''''

}}'''Michael Wherever''' was a man of whom several incarnations existed in the [[Multiverse]]. Most of them possessed physical [[shift]]ing abilities similar to [[Jenny Everywhere]]'s, but his various incarnations did not have a mind-link like Jenny Everywhere's or [[Jenny Nowhere]]'s. Many versions of Michael were friends or associates of Jenny's.

==Description==

===Physical appearance===

Michael Wherever usually appeared as a blond man with pale skin, clean-shaven, with broad shoulders and a stout figure. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (Benj Christensen's 2010 Jenny Everywhere Day comic)|Untitled]]'') Some of his incarnations wore glasses. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'')

===Personality===

As well as an explorer, the curious Michael was a collector, always looking for books and “interesting trinkets” to add to his collection. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'') Although committed to stamping out true evil such as [[Chaos]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') Michael had little remorse about an occasional bit of theft to add to his collection, considering that such a thing was meaningless in the Multiversal scheme of things, since an infinity of versions of any one item existed across the dimensions. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'') He was willing to risk his life for his friends (such as [[Jenny Everywhere#Onboard the Wilson|Jenny]]) or in pursuit of the greater good of saving the Multiverse from Chaos. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'')

===Powers and abilities===

In addition to [[shift]]ing powers comparable to Jenny's, ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'') at least [[#Onboard the Wilson|one incarnation]] of Michael could teleport at very short range in clouds of blue ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (Benj Christensen's 2010 Jenny Everywhere Day comic)|Untitled]]'') or purple smoke. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'')This same version of Michael had some practical skill with dimensional engineering, as demonstrated by his having once helped [[Stix]] to fix the ''[[Wilson]]''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> synchs ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'') and again when he managed to cobble together a means for the ''Wilson'' to enter [[the Infinite]], something which was believed to be impossible. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere (short story)|The Disappearance of Jenny Everywhere]]'') At least in some incarnations, Michael was less skilled with his powers than Jenny, not being able to teleport at short range too many times in a row. He could only take two people along with him when she shifted at the most, and only by physically touching them with his hands at the moment of shifting.

==Biography==

===Onboard the Wilson===

On one occasion, on Jenny's birthday, Michael, wielding a stick and making use of his teleportation, helped her fight Chaos himself head-on. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Untitled (Benj Christensen's 2010 Jenny Everywhere Day comic)|Untitled]]'') However, Michael was ultimately “lost” in an incident whose memory remained painful to Jenny, in part because some part of her believed she could have saved him if she had not given in to her impulse to run away and save herself. However, Jenny still continued to crew the ''Wilson''. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles (comic story)|The Jenny Everywhere Chronicles]]'')

=== Searching for Jordan ===

A different incarnation of Michael, who was shorter and heavier-set and wore glasses, was a collector, travelling the Multiverse for the next trinket to add to his collection. He wore a dull-blue shirt and carried a brown leather satchel. At some point, this Michael began travelling alongside [[Jenny Everywhere#Searching for Jordan|a Jenny Everywhere]], [[Julie Jacobs#Searching for Jordan|a Julie Jacobs]], [[Odious]], [[Lol (The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game)|Lol]] and [[the Chosen]]. The group had as their ultimate goal to find [[Jordan Jacobs|Jordan]], Jenny and Julie's younger sister, who had been abducted three years prior by some interdimensional fiend.

While camping together in [[Universe A (The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game)|one universe]], the group were abducted to a mysterious facility where they were made to compete and fight with [[Jenny Everywhere#Travels with Rae|yet another Jenny's]] team, which included another [[Abstract]] than [[Odious]], [[Rae|Rae of Luminance]]. They eventually made it back to their camp, but never figured out who had set up the facility and why, nor the endless cycle of one team fighting another, each forced to teleport in a newer team to get a chance to go home. ([[GAME]]: ''[[The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game (game)|The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game]]'')

=== Band shirt Michael ===

One incarnation of Michael wore jeans, a leather jacket and a shirt promoting a rock band, matching the shirt of the [[Jenny Everywhere#Band shirt Jenny|version]] of [[Jenny Everywhere]] with whom he travelled. In addition to Michael, that Jenny also travelled in the company of [[Richard (The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game)|Richard]], [[ShatterScreen#Travelling with Jenny and Michael|ShatterScreen]], [[Delta 22-6]] and [[Silence (The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game)|Silence]]. Their group, while using an empty warehouse as a base of operations, was forcibly teleported to [[Universe B (The Jenny Everywhere Roleplaying Game)|the testing complex]] where they had to compete with the team of [[#Searching for Jordan|the Jenny]] who travelled with [[Odious]]. Some way into the trials, however, the older team managed to convince the band shirt Jenny's team that they meant them no harm, and got them to instead sit with them and discuss which would concede to the other for the portal.

==Behind the scenes==

Despite the similarity in names and their coincidentally both being blond-haired men, no relationship is known to exist between the characters of Michael Wherever and [[Jimmy Wherever]], who was introduced a few years after Michael, either in-universe or in terms of behind-the-scenes history.
