Historical Notes:
American by Birth, Los Angeles CA.Accepted into Cal
Tech, attended on Air Force ROTC Scholarship.  Awarded BS in Computer
Sciences.  Served six years in U.S.A.F. as a pilot of A-10 II 
Thunderbolts, used call-sign "Muck."  Left active service with rank
of Captain (O-3).  Returned to Cal Tech and earned an MS in Physics
and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Mathematics.  Landed a research grant into
the study of teleportation.  Pressured to prove his theories or loose
funding, he demonstrated the technology on himself, teleporting
into a lab where his supervisor was working on a robotic 
interplanetary probe. Micheal was merged with the robotic probe in an
explosion that destroyed the lab and forced his resignation.
Although normally dormant, in times of stress or when summoned,
his body becomes that of the robotic probe.  This form bears great
(O.K., TOTAL) resemblance to the humanoid form of a Veritech fighter
from the MACROSS series (VF-1S Super, for those familiar with that
series).  Sought out by a former instructor, he harnesses his destiny
and, for the next year lives the life of a super-hero, and adopts
the name "Star Ranger" as his super-hero identity.  Tracking a mad 
scientist known as the Tinkerer to his lair, Muck discovers the 
Tinkerer's master plan; to take over the world by using a 
teleportation device to replace world leaders with robotic 
duplicates.  In the battle with the Tinkerer, the controls to the 
teleportation device were damaged, causing the teleporter to self 
distruct, creating a dimensional breach through which Micheal and the
Tinkerer both were drawn.  Now adrift in space and time, he hops from
dimension to dimension, his only traveling companion an artificial
intelligence, hoping the next jump will be the one that takes him 
Home.

Personality: Outwardly quiet and pensive, beneath his facade burns
the soul of a hero.  He has made many friends in his travels, yet 
prefers not to let them know how close they are, for in the end he 
must leave them behind when he jumps again.
