Being the son of a duke he was taught manners and how to be a refined gentleman though he seldom follows those teachings unless he feels absolutely pressed to but generally feels no need to try and keep up appearances just for his father’s sake. Thus he tends to have a grudge against nobles, especially those who tend to keep up an act like that. While he continues to insist and act like he doesn’t care about the people he travels with or that he knows he still always seems to go out of his way to protect them. Or sometimes he’ll risk his life to save the defenseless. He always claims that it’s because those ‘rats’ are so useless they can’t defend themselves and it pisses him off. But in truth there’s something about him that purposely does this to push him away from people. Almost like he’s scared to form relationships with people. His icy persona melts visibly when it comes to animals, in particular around the wyverns he is so fond of. [color=f7941d]Class:[/color] Noble [color=f7941d]History:[/color] Mikhail Feldunn, son of Duke Archibald Feldunn, grew up among the nobility of Faroth-En. His mother passed during childbirth and his father was almost always working so the only people that were constant in his life were his caretakers and his older brother Casimir. Cas was much frailer than Mik was, but also very gifted in magic. Whereas Mikhail had absolutely no magical talent to speak of. In their younger years the brothers would play together and Mikhail would often drag them both into trouble despite his father’s scolding. Mikhail was often seen as a wild and rebellious child. He would often volunteer, and sometimes sneak off to, take care of the wyverns his family became famous for raising and training or would often come home an absolute mess. He used to be loud, ecstatic and rambunctious. However Mikhail’s personality took a drastic change at the age of 15. His brother was 19 at the time and already an accomplished scholar. The two were walking home after an outing the two had to the nearby city. On the way back, they were accosted by a group of bandits. Casimir saw them about to hurt his brother as leverage and so he blasted one of them apart with his magic before the others descended on him. Mikhail tried to fight back but he was too weak and was forced to watch as his brother, one of the only lights in his life, was snuffed out before his eyes. He himself was beaten and left for dead and was only just saved by a merchant traveling to town. But he was scarred, both physically and emotionally. He now had a few scars, particularly one across his right cheek and a few on his arms and body. But he also watched one of the only people who cared for him get killed because he couldn’t save them. So afterwards he started distancing himself from people so as to not feel that pain again. Even though he couldn’t suppress his desire to help people he denied his feelings completely. After the events Mikhail got serious about his training. Dedicating all of his time to combat training. His father, however, got more strict and uptight on him. Without a proper heir he had to now rely on Mikhail to take his place eventually and the boy was nowhere near up to the task. The next few years were spent with this rigorous training that he suffered through until he eventually got his chance to train in the capital to be a knight about a year prior. It was here that he lived until the request went out to investigate this new disturbance. [/hider][/center]
