Mike Bellevue is the personification of Microsoft BASIC, a programming language first released for the Altair 8800 computer in 1975. It was the foundational product line of Microsoft, heralding its entry to the personal computer industry. During the home computer craze during the late-1970s and early-1980s, Microsoft BASIC was ported to and supplied with many home computer designs, with slight variations to add support for machine-specific functions, especially graphics. Currently, the latest incarnation of Microsoft BASIC line is Visual Basic.NET.

History

Mike's early concepts date back to 2017 and designed by SpacePuffer in 2019, making him the oldest UNIVER.SYS character by design, and has barely changed until now. In other words, Mike's creation singlehandedly started the development of UNIVER.SYS.

Character

As the eldest, Mike serves as a mentor figure to early Logiciel OS-tans such as Nix, Amy, and others. He loves tinkering with code and programs, and has written his own books about programming, which he has sold to different companies. Although he may appear reserved and distant, he is very protective of his successors and will do anything to support them.

Due to his revolutionary spirit and disregard for tradition, other OS-tans may perceive his way of thinking as irreverent or even blasphemous. Even though Mike prefers to deal with conflict logically, he is not above asserting himself and standing up against opposition. Since his debut in the 1970s until his current state in the 1980s, Mike has gone from a behind-the-scenes technologist to a more proactive figure among Logiciel's OS-tans.

 == Story ==
-Mike's early life began during the inception of Logiciel back in the early 1970s, at a time when it was allied with Alpha Enterprise (a parody of MITS). Although he originated from a simple tape of program, Mike displayed remarkable intelligence and a keen interest in computer programming. He developed a close bond with [[Altair 8800 (UNIVER.SYS)|Altea]], the Personal Computer of Alpha Enterprise, whom he regarded as someone like a sister to him, and drew inspiration from her dreams and aspirations, leading him to adopt a revolutionary attitude.
-Initially, Mike was closed off and guarded with his knowledge, and even charged others for access to it. However, he gradually became more open to those around him, thanks to interactions with other OS-tans like [[Apple II (UNIVER.SYS)|Alan]], [[Commodore PET (UNIVER.SYS)|Patrick]], and [[TRS-80 (UNIVER.SYS)|Terrence]]. Unfortunately, this period in his life was short-lived due to Logiciel's relocation to Emerald Lakes in the late 1970s, added by the dissolution of Alpha Enterprise, for which he blamed himself.
-Despite the setback, Mike's passion for computer programming persisted. During his time in Emerald Lakes, he spent most of it researching, writing, and publishing books and programs for various companies. He also mentored his new successors [[Xenix (UNIVER.SYS)|Nix]], [[MS-DOS (UNIVER.SYS)|Amy]], and [[Windows (UNIVER.SYS)|Mina]]. However, as Logiciel's ambitions grew, Mike found himself grappling with uncertainty between his passion and Logiciel's goals.
