This was not at all what Michael had been thinking when he had gone job hunting. He had been turned away at the hospital. Which was honestly to be expected. No one really wanted a vampire working on them, no matter how skilled. It just took one bout of hunger and Morbius could rip someone's throat out. No one wanted that. It had been the security worker who had stopped him and handed him a flyer for the Coliseum.

Was he embarrassed? Yes. Still, he needed money and it beat some of the other options. The Coliseum was less picky about his affliction and offered him both to work as a medic for the fighters who got hurt, and to be a fighter as well. Both would help him get by. Some fighters were demons, other humans, sometimes meta-humans or mutants. It was a far cry from what he wanted to be doing, but he's spent so many years since his accident fighting that it's become second nature.

Floating out from the left side, after being introduced simply as 'Morbius'. He never hid his name, which had always been an issue. Morbius was dressed in his suit from home. At first he was worried, but he hid it well. He just needed to win, and he could pay for his blood with ease for a few weeks. An addiction was a powerful thing, this he knew well, he had done terrible things in the past to feed his addiction in the past. This was at least an honest way to make a living.

When he wasn't fighting, he was in the back with a lab coat over his suit, stitching up and helping the fighters who came back harmed. Sometimes he had caused the harm, usually not but even bruised and hurt himself, he wanted to help.
