• Additional Adjustments to include: I didn't really get into relationship specifics in my old app so I guess I'll do a little of that here. lol I think I basically wrote a whole fanfic on this exact premise like a year ago
Eleanor
Michael's relationship with Eleanor is one of the most important in his life. She's the one who kickstarted his entire development into a better person, first through becoming his nemesis by continually outsmarting him and then through becoming his friend. She was the first human he ever came to respect, even if it was a bit grudging. They're very similar people, so he's learned a lot from her; several of his personal turning points, such as giving up his place in the Bad Place in order to save the humans, were born from how much he genuinely enjoyed her company and didn't want to give her up.
Janet
Janet is Michael's closest friend, and the first taste he ever had of a positive relationship. Granted, he was lying to her for most of that time, but as a demon, having someone around who was unfailingly kind and supportive to him was a definite novelty. She was the first person he acknowledged as a friend, and the fact that he was forced to do that and subsequently decided to keep her alive at any cost was a pretty big personal breaking point for his old demonic attitude. At this point, he considers her a partner; she's involved in basically everything he works on, and he highly respects her expertise.
I'm also going to have several decades elapse between Michael returning from Deerington and setting out for Deer Country. Due to the very large timeskip between the second-to-last and last episode of the Good Place, this doesn't really change his canon point, per se; it just means that he's had some time to stabilize the afterlife situation and settle some of his personal affairs so that he'll be more easygoing about his return to Deer Country.
Deer Country Attributes
• Canon Powers: I'm planning to just sort of merge his existing reality warping abilities with his Darkblood abilities, as they seem to have pretty similar concepts. Also uhhhh we never really talked about this but I wanna keep the squid thing. His personal squid thing, not the regular common squid thing.
• Blood Type: Darkblood
• Omen: A microraptor! It's like his old crow dream guide, but now ancient and kinda weird!
• Blessed Day: November 30
• Patron Pthumerian: The Tower! Michael would definitely like the Tower as a person, but he's not really going to be taking the patronage part of this very seriously; he doesn't have a real birthday and given his own age and usual powerset, he's basically going to consider the Pthumerians like equals anyway. Like sure, they're stronger than he is, but so's the Judge and he's not running around worshipping her.
• Blood Power Manifestation: I'm planning to have this supplement his canon powers, which are basically just pure unlimited reality warping. Of course, he can't have all of that here, so I'm hoping to just focus on creation. Even though he's always been able to just snap his fingers and Make A Thing, I like the idea of him being slightly more restricted in this and actually having to engage more in the act of creation. Like having to physically sketch out and design the things he intends to make in order to get it right, rather than just effortlessly doing it, or being a lot more capable of making raw materials than a finished product. He can learn more arts and crafts to compensate!
