Biography

RP: Mishka grew up in a monastery, and simply couldn't stand it there. He'd constantly sneak out, go to the taverns, and cause all kinds of chaos and mischief. When he was old enough, he took it upon himself to go in a "general that way direction" because he had nothing better to do. As he wandered around, he picked up stories and songs from the traveling minstrels he came across, and found a love for bow making. One day he woke up drunk on the outskirts of a growing town called "Ironwood". He figured it was as good a place as any, and decided to live there. He can now be seen screwing something up here or there in the outskirts of Ironwood, because even he knows it'd be a disaster to go into town! He's burnt his hut down four separate times through the mixing up of spells.

Throughout his adventures and trials, Mishka's mental stability has slowly been breaking down. He's teetering on the edge of insanity, and every trouble pushes him closer and closer to the edge. Mishka believes he has a brother named Ghede, although it's debatable whether he actually exists.

Mundane: Mishka started playing in 2009 when Kentigern S'rendi would come to a local park to show him and his friends how to hit each other with foam weapons. He never got any credits or went to official parks because he didn't know it all existed. After a four year absence where he completely forgot about the game, Mishka came back to Ironwood looking for a place to nerd out. He enjoys entertaining the people at park and keeping everything light hearted, as you can tell by the fact that he will routinely do acrobatic flips on the field for no reason other than to make people wonder what the hell is wrong with him. He enjoys playing Bard over any other class, and will routinely cackle in glee in the middle of Kingdom battlegames after hitting some poor bastard with Lost...

Mishka loves archery. Like, REALLY loves it. He routinely has three or four bows on hand. He spends his free time making bows. Longbows. Short bows. Mongolian bows. Experimental bows that make you go "why?". No one has as many friends as the man with many bows.
