Michael Schmidt

Michael Schmidt is a police officer in Los Angeles, the spouse of Doll, and the father of Faith and Jerry.

History
Michael grew up in Australia, but eventually moved to California for reasons unknown. Whether he met Doll before or after the move is uncertain. His family stayed behind, however. Originally, he took a job as security guard for Byron Brown's Manis Unit factory. While on the job, a defective Manis unit accidentally caused him to fall from a second floor balcony. His fall was broken by a tree, preventing mortal injury, but causing him to lose his eyes. Some time after the incident, he quit and became a police officer in the LAPD, and later adopted a young girl named Faith.

When the Bub n' Chucks Massacre occurred, Michael was in the other room talking with Doll, and didn't see most of it himself. When he walked in to check on Faith, however, he saw the horrible slaughter and immediately got her away from the TV. Ever since that day, he's been intensely robophobic.

When Doll bought Jerry to help him overcome said robophobia, he initially didn't like him, but later grew to care about his robot son. However, he hasn't his robophobia as a whole.

Personality
Michael is short-tempered and fiery. He has absolutely no tolerance for people who disrespect him or his family, and will not hesitate to tell you exactly how he feels about you. He also has a very foul mouth.

When around Faith, however, he cuts back on the swear words and doesn't get angered as easily. He cares greatly for both of his kids and his spouse, and always wants what's best for them.

Trivia

 * Michael and Scott are bitter enemies, for obvious reasons. Michael apparently once threw him out a window.
 * Despite having been born in Australia, he lacks an accent. He's been in America for so long that he's lost it.
 * He has trouble sleeping, often only getting around two hours of rest a night, which is why he always has dark eye bags.
 * Michael's robotic eyes can turn from their regular blue to all black with white pupils. He tends to use this ability while interrogating criminals.
