<strong>Name:</strong>Mikko Aleksey Kivimäki<br/><strong>Age:</strong>28<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>Finnish/Russian (mostly Finnish with Russian roots)<br/><strong>Height:</strong>6'0'ft<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>190lb<br/><strong>Appearance</strong>(http://www.mmajunkie.com/files/large/8055)<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat Training&amp;Style</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br/><strong>Combat</strong> <br/>Han Mo Do (world leader) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Mu_Do)<br/>Muay Thai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muay_Thai)<br/>Jujutsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu)<br/>Capoeira (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira)<br/><br/>Mikko started his martial art career in practicing Han Mo Do and also learning JuJutsu from his father. JuJutsu is grandfather of many martial arts; Judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu example are based on teachings of JuJutsu. Han Mo Do is based on hapkido but it's far more expansive and flexible than hapkido is. Not to mention philosophy itself is different and training methods also. Han Mo Do gave roots of prowess which from to expand and grow as Han Mo Do embraces complexity and learning wide variety of techniques from numerous styles. Scrap the surface and pick the best parts of multiple korean styles. Weapon training also is far more practical as it does not teach rigid forms but fluid forms which can be changed less than blink of eye in conflict situations.<br/><br/>But most of all Han Mo Do also practices Ki techniques and it's basis where from Mikko mastered his Ki flows. After achieving early mastery in youth he then started by Han Mo Do's tradition study and learn other styles. He studied Muay Thai for it's intensity, energy and learning use whole body as a weapon. While as truck driver who also often was in US and even crossing borders on Florida and Mexico he learned Capoeira from his friends and associates what he made. Not becoming master but expert and learning how deceive and lure enemies to attack him so he gets openings for using deadly JuJutsu counters and submission locks.<br/><br/>Han Mo Do is not competition sport nor it's masters fight each other for competition but for enlightenment if anything else. So publicly he is not know as one grandmasters who had even surpassed the founder who is still alive, but in fight once you start see how fluidly and gracefully he mixes techniques, how well his weapon techniques work and also how well developed his Ki techniques are only testaments for his prowess than fame.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Signature Attacks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Signature Attacks:</strong><br/><em>Dive of Phoenix:</em> In this technique Mikko ascends above the clouds during zenith of the day and starts charge up on technique. In this technique he enters into complete still deep meditation and simply soaks and gathers solar energy on and around his body. He opens his ki channels and starts with ki manipulate the solar energy around him and increase to high levels. It slowly builds up his body temperature and he adapts his body follow and it can reach point where he literally becomes a center of a intense heat of solar energy.<br/><br/>Once preparation is done, he is wreathed in golden hued flames and he then focus with his Ki detection to locate his enemy instead seeing him. In this escalated power state his ki detection accuracy increases a lot. Once located he waits patiently like a falcon high in sky waiting scurrying movement, moment of weakness, to strike down to it's prey and catch it. Once moment of weakness occurs, when target is vulnerable, instant Mikko dives on the target and moves with incredible speed towards the target and strike on his talons and full power of wreathing collected solar energy as intense Ki energy impact (than just fire or heat).<br/><br/><em>Flowing Peacock Kata:</em> This deceptive movement combines tricks from Capoeira, Jujutsu and Muay Thai. It is ki energy intensive to perform it's counter but does not spend ki when making passive movements. Overall it's flowing dancing motion which is meant to create a false looking combat moves and taunt foes and look flashy. But instant foe gives any effort to strike Mikko then he takes each and every advantage of the attack to throw foe off guard with little effort and then launch barrage of quick attacks aimed on enemy's vulnerable spots and then retreat back to dancing around in confusing manner which makes foe second guess when there is opening and when not.<br/><br/><em>Scorpion Pincher Parry:</em> This technique is founded on central philosophy of Jujutsu to 'turn foe's energy upon against him'. So it literally turns any Ki projected physical techniques against foes. However it is always a guess and luck work for Mikko to channel appropriate amount of Ki energy (around 50% to coming attack's Ki power) to make it work. More so as he needs prepare advance to use it than instead as reaction to someone's attack. So it asks lot of guess work. If he gives too little Ki the technique fails and he gets hit by the attack as he is literally trying parry with his hands. He cannot try dodge while using this technique. Give too much and he wastes Ki. But if calculation goes right then this technique can surprise enemy and if Ki technique in question has nasty effect, even bit overcost spending Ki to counter it back on foe is worth the price.<br/><br/><em>Sunwalker Kata:</em> This attack looks more dance routine when watched in slow motion but it's attack which combines uncanny fluid movement of Capoeira and intensity of Muay Thai. In short it's attack pattern which allows use all eight attack parts of Muay Thai in quick dance sequence, but following teachings of Jujutsu it does not have preset pattern how attack comes expect once it starts the all eight steps are completed on foe in rhythm and purpose to throw enemy off guard. But also attack leaves openings in Mikko's own defense as it's highly offensive than no defense besides misleading enemy attacks away from him because of confusing movement of the kata.<br/><br/><em>Kylmä Kalle Ote (Cold Jack Grip):</em> Where Dive of Phoenix gathers solar energy and builds up body heat to produce greater quantity of Ki energy like nuclear reactor. The Kylmä Kalle Ote creates opposite effect on foe which is gripped by Mikko's hand. It's simple technique to send chill and cold on foe's muscles, cause cold sweat and cause loss of Ki on foe (Mikko does not transfer foe's Ki on himself, he just pushes it away from foe's body upon contact). Not great amounts but over long fight it can slow foe down and even cause shakes from building up hypothermia. The technique is most deadliest if Mikko gets extended submission hold on foe and he can start slowly sap their energy and cause them freeze over in his grip. Mikko's embrace and grip is not warm at all.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Backstory:</strong><br/><br/>Mikko Aleksey Kivimäki is son of Russian sport reporter and a Finnish martial artist guru who competed in MMA and was renowned talent. However all did not know his father, Jarkko Kivimäki, had tapped to forgotten potential of Ki on his body and through diligent self-study and experiments had mastered it through meditations what shaolin monks and other ancient masters did in past. However despite this he was not spiritualist, he saw Ki only as tool help him win fights by using Ki enhance his body reflexes, strength and stamina. He was movie star, made lots of money from fights and became famous enough draw world wide publicity. He then caught eye on Mikko's mother and had child with her.<br/><br/>But Jarkko had no time for fatherly love as his career was rising up and he was soaring. He started only care about Mikko as he discovered he had same potential, if not greater, than he did and so started harsh training regime which did not make them close but Mikko starting detest his father who made him suffer daily from harsh training regime. The training did indeed push Mikko on limits and achieve results in weeks what father had worked for years to achieve, but fact remained it felt more purposeful child abuse than caring for him. As teenager Mikko got into fights and because of his advanced martial arts training he beated bullies easily and father did nothing to stop it despite school councilors breathing on his neck. Until one day in student party someone pissed him off major way and he killed him cold blood. He had turned sixteen and by Finnish laws he was full grown man and so he was judged as a adult by the court.<br/><br/>He ended up into jail short time because he was first time offender, his father could had talked him out from not going prison but he wanted get away from his father. So prison was summer break from harsh training for Mikko. In there he went deep self-study about himself and what he wanted to do with his life and he started study there and finish his education and study even a profession. In age of nineteen he had become a truck driver with a driving license earned in prison. So once he got out and when father tried pull him back to practice and get to MMA with him. But they had serious argument which led Mikko head out angrily from house and become independent contractor as driver on trucks and live on road and on freedom what it gave him. Despite dislike on father's training regime he kept himself shape with self-training and practices and still embraced entirely Han Mo Do which philosophy builded up his personality and character. When Mikko turned 22 mother had died, at this point Jarkko stopped completely from all competing and in funeral tried reform lost father and son relationship but Mikko rejected the offer and left after funeral continue his own life.<br/><br/>Jarkko disappeared from public eye (out of depression and heavy drinking) until Radzit arrived, as Jarkko was one the five martial artists who beated Radzit down but with cost of Jarkko's life. He had written final testament just short before the final battle with Radzit along with letter which was sealed only for Mikko to read and in letter read; <em>"I had done many mistakes in my life, biggest was to forget to be a father. So I for first and last time acted like proper father in helping protecting the world and my son who lives in it. This does not forgive my sins, but I hope it means something for Mikko. However, more Saiyans are coming and I hope Mikko is ready when they come.....I trust world's future into your hands now my son."</em><br/><br/>Mikko was touched by the letter, and the importance of conflict what he took against the monster and felt proud he in death had helped bring him down. However his dire warning for more Saiyans meant he had no time to waste and so he picked up his training full speed to both return full shape and surpass what condition he was before he quit father's merciless regime. So by the time the two new saiyans landed Mikko had practiced and prepared to face them with same devotion and readiness for sacrifice like his father had before him.</div></div>
