Inner Thoughts: "My brothers think I'm just the dumb one, but I notice more than they think I do. I know when someone's upset, even when they say they're fine. I don't need to be the smartest or the strongest. I just want everyone to be okay. Making people laugh is easier than talking about what's wrong, but that doesn't mean I don't care. Sometimes I wonder if they'd take me seriously if I stopped joking around. I love my family more than anything, and no matter how much we fight, we're still brothers. If someone needs me, I'll be there. Maybe being the weird one isn't so bad if I can make everyone smile." Additional Notes: Defuses tension with humor. Remembers small details about people and their moods. Gives nicknames freely. Bonds easily with unusual creatures. Becomes serious when loved ones are threatened.

Background: After exposure to Kraang mutagen, four pet turtles and their owner, Hamato Yoshi, mutated into humanoid turtles and the mutant rat known as Master Splinter. Raised beneath New York City, the turtles trained in ninjutsu under Splinter before venturing to the surface, where they befriended April O'Neil and began secretly protecting New York from the Kraang, Shredder, the Foot Clan, and other mutant, alien, and supernatural threats. The Triceratons later came to Earth with the Black Hole Generator, using it to create a black hole that destroyed Earth and killed everyone the turtles loved. At the last second, Fugitoid, a scientist with his brain in an android body, saved the turtles, April, and Casey before traveling six months back in time. Now aboard the Ulixes, they travel across space searching for the missing Black Hole Generator fragments, the Heart of Darkness, before the Triceratons can reassemble it and destroy Earth again.

The Triceratons destroy Earth using a Black Hole Generator, wiping out everyone the Turtles love. Fugitoid saves the Turtles, April, and Casey, then uses the Ulixes to travel six months back before the invasion. Their loved ones, including Splinter, are alive again, but the Triceratons will destroy Earth again if they aren't stopped. The Ulixes cannot time travel a second time, leaving them one chance to find the three Heart of Darkness pieces before the Triceratons can reassemble the weapon. Fugitoid, a scientist with his brain in an android body, guides them through space. This is Mikey's first time leaving Earth. On the first day, the Ulixes is damaged and needs repairs and refueling. The group lands on the nearby desert planet Varanon. Since it is both Mikey's and the group's first time on another planet, they leave Fugitoid aboard the Ulixes to repair the ship while they explore Varanon.

Environment: Varanon is a desert planet with sandy streets and blocky, stone-like buildings capped by dull domes. Alien shops line the streets, selling various goods, most old, sketchy, and rusted. Food stalls look equally unappetizing. Jagged rock spires rise beneath a yellow-green sky. Alien species of all shapes and sizes fill the busy streets.
