Heh, what can I say? Mikhail calls them as he sees them.

Mikhail Fuast

During the quiet descent into the mausoleum, Mikhail didn’t know what to expect from their instructor, especially after the old man’s warning. He had of course heard of the Straizo’s right hand, but he had never met, much less seen, the girl himself. The cavalier ran a hand through his emerald hair, finding the musty smell of their surroundings to be stifling. Rollo, his horse, had obviously not been allowed to join them. Part of him was relieved, as the damn thing managed to be a nuisance wherever it went, but another part of him was missing the horsey stench that he was starting to find strangely comforting as each day passed.

With an ever so slight shake of his head, Mikhail refocused on the matter at hand. They had just reached the entrance to the mausoleum, but before anyone in the group had a chance to say or do anything, the shirtless brute, Claude, kicked open the door. He then proceeded to live up to every unfortunate expectation Mikhail had made for the man. Mikhail could only hope that his boisterous attitude would be matched by his prowess with a sword, but seeing him knocked out on the floor, he knew better than to hold his breath.

With that said, the Lieutenant Commander was turning out to be nothing like Mikhail had expected. Having served in Jotenvarr’s military, the cavalier had of course heard about Illian’s shy and odd nature, but never had he anticipated the odd child before him. As she explained her role as their instructor, Mikhail took a quick second to size up the rest of his squad mates. A small sigh of exasperation escaped him as it dawned on him that he had ended up in a truly rag tag group. ’Could be worse I guess’, he told himself, ’I could be surrounded by braindead greenhorns’. This uncharacteristic “optimism” caused a little grin to creep into his expression.

”Mikhail Faust”, he offered indifferently, ready to see how this all would turn out.

@Light, I do actually and even for PS4. I just killed story mode Oryx with my baby Hunter.

Took way longer than I'm proud of to add the last few paragraphs, but my CS is done now. By the way @Light, the sprites are all fantastic. Thanks for your hard work.

Alrighty, just have to finish up the bio and touch up the personality, but other than that mine is finished. I'll be on later today to get it done.

Mikhail Faust

"Don’t worry, the cavalry has arrived. Now we can all die together."

Sprite:

Name: Mikhail Faust

Nicknames/Title: The Emerald Lancer, The Sour Knight

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Single

Age: 20

Sexuality: Straight

Family Ties: Son of a minor noble of Jotenvarr

Class: Cavalier

Weapon Mastery(ies): Lances and swords

Inventory: Silver Lance, Iron Sword, Vulneraries

Personality: There are very few people as blunt and honest as Mikhail in this world. This stems from the fact that he sees lies, even kind ones, to be a waste of time and thus wants nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, this often results in him coming off as a harsh or even heartless individual, even though that couldn’t be further from the truth.

On top of being painfully honest, Mikhail also has a penchant for being snarky. There is very little that escapes his sarcasm, much to the dismay of those around him. Of any given group, he is the one to play the devil’s advocate, mostly just to see how people justify their stances on things. And it is important to note, that while he is snarky, he is not necessarily dismissive of others in most cases.

But if one is able to get past his sardonic exterior, they will find a man that is fiercely loyal and capable of being truly kind to those he cares about. Yet his kindness is something that can be difficult for most people to appreciate.

Biography: Mikhail’s early life was simple and predictable. He was of minor nobility, so he was exempt from many concerns that others had to face. As he grew up and saw firsthand the lengths others had to go just to put food on the table, the boy began to resent the unfairness of it all. While this was one of the primary causes of his sour personality, it also led his desire to improve things for those not as lucky as himself.

However, being the third son to a noble with little land left Mikhail with few options. He could either grow old in the tiny shadow of his eldest brother or join the military and try and make a name for himself. Needless to say, he joined the military as soon as he turned 16.

Four years passed and Mikhail had found his calling in life. Mounted combat had come naturally to the noble as did lance play. The war with Alistaf left him with new scars, but also some renown. So when the King’s call for new recruits reached him, Mikhail knew that he had to answer.

@Light True that. Green cavalier inbound.

Fire Emblem: A Tale Of Two Swords

I should have mine up either late tonight or tomorrow afternoon.

I'm currently a little stuck between making either a blood knight Myrmidon or deadpan snarker Cavalier. Decisions, decisions.

Fire Emblem: A Tale Of Two Swords

Hey there, I'd like to throw in my interest as well. Quick question though, can you shed a bit more light on this selection process? Specifically, will the focus be on some big tournament or will it be something completely different?
