Sheet! (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=1096310)<br/><br/>Name: Mikhail Volkov<br/><br/>Description: A man of above average height and in his twenties, Mikhail sports brown hair, a fair complexion, and green eyes with freckles dotting the bridge of his nose. He looks at things inquisitively and curiously at times, and as for clothes he prefers long coats or cloaks that might allow him easier use of the alchemical items he crafts and creates. (Picture TBD)<br/><br/>Personality: Good natured, friendly, and open – Mikhail has a yearning for freedom and the open skies. While a good man in general and one who has convictions to help others, he is not ‘soft’ when it comes to fighting his foes. A competitive drive for his craftsmanship compels him in both his work aboard the ship and should he find himself in battle, a place where he seems eager to test out his works whether they be to help his allies or burn his foes in alchemical flame. Surprisingly, he also enjoys cooking.<br/><br/>Background: In the city of Belgorond, the Volkov family name is a well respected one... For the most part. Born the middle child of his parents, Mikhail’s parents had the magical blood of sorcery flowing through them, and they hoped to produce a strong line of innately powerful children. Their eldest child was lucky, a daughter who received the gift of magic at an early age and could be trained. Mikhail was different – each year they would test him for magic, see where his aptitude laid. And every year was a disappointment to his family, as it seemed he lacked the gift of magic whatsoever. Not one to dwell on failure, they would have another child, yet another girl which left Mikhail as the only one without magic.<br/><br/>Or so it seemed. Mikhail was smart, he was clever in ways that were surprising. Being ‘cast aside’ out of the tutoring of his parents allowed him time to read, time to study, and time to work as he got older. Perhaps one of the few who noticed Mikhails craftsmanship was the elderly Arano, a good friend and once companion of Mikhails father before the sorcerer retired to raise his family. A potion here, crafting smokesticks out of basic materials there, and each further accidental success became less and less accidental. Perhaps the most... surprising creation led to the discovery of Mikhails true potential – potions that only he could truly imbibe and use, which could either change his body or be used to unlock the faint magic he held within himself. Where he was once treated as a weak link in the family, he had found a distant other and father becoming very supportive of his talents, furthering his learning.<br/><br/>And yet, a lingering resentment was left by the family who had saw him as ‘lesser’. He sought to outdo his family, to break away from them – to not be seen as a weak link made ‘proper’, but as his own man. There was ambition and drive within him that drove him into pursuing his reckless crafts and arts, and that further drew the attention of the odd elder man who visited his family every so often. While he seemed interested in both of the other children, it was the drive and unyielding nature of Mikhail that made Arano most interested in him. Eventually, Mikhail was an adult, twenty five summers old, and feeling as if he was still third rate in his parents eyes compared to their daughters.<br/><br/>But yet, his life would take a turn for the different as he found himself the recipient of a letter. Arano had died, and Mikhail was named a successor...<br/><br/>Airship role: With his focus on knowledge, crafts, and alchemic creations Mikhial would make an excellent engineer.<br/><br/>Ons/offs: I have my topic and my ons/offs page on my profile, but I can give a summary here. Mikhail is a straight male, interested in the ladies. I tend to play slightly more dominant characters, but I also don’t look to play D/S heavily with Mikhail or anything. I guess some slightly rougher stuff (Physical stuff is awesome!), and maybe light bondage – plenty of buxom ladies in skimpy attire is also great. I dunno, there's definitely more I could discuss.<br/><br/><br/>--<br/>
