⚘ APPEARANCE ⚘
Given their astounding height, you are surprised you hadn’t noticed them before: a brown-haired viera with long, soft-looking ears and a short, pointed bob of a tail. Warm, watchful hazel eyes ringed with a pulsing lavender light peer curiously through a pair of surprisingly thick, carefully crafted glasses that rest on his darkened, sloped nose. Most notably, a pair of scarlet, wing-like tattoos crest either cheek, their elegant tips elongated by a slightly lighter crimson face paint that terminates near the center of his face.The clothes he wears are layered, well-worn, and lightly marred with the dust and grime of travel, though it seems that a conscious effort has been made to keep them passably clean. Similarly, his tousled brown hair appears to have been insistently combed into submission, making it somewhat presentable… for the time being, at least.⚘ PERSONALITY ⚘
A gentle, empathetic character, he has recently relearned how to bear his heart to his fellow man, and to care without fear of retribution. As such, he treasures friends and strangers alike, and while he is wary of those who have betrayed his kindness, he is more often forgiving than not. Yet do not let his soft heart fool you: a sharp, clever mind rests behind his gentle, open smile, inclined towards mischief and serious matters both.Quiet by nature, he prefers to listen rather than speak, though has no scruples with sharing his mind when necessary. He is resolute in his convictions, and while curious and open-minded, he is not easily swayed from his chosen path.A wanderer at heart, his seemingly aimless travels are driven by a couple of things: first, his insatiable curiosity to see all that the world has to offer. Second, a creeping sense of unease and discomfort should he remain in one place for what his gut arbitrarily decides is "too long".
Notable Attributes
Nearsighted. Mishka is heavily nearsighted, greatly limiting his ability to see things from afar. Before he was introduced to glasses by the Garleans, he relied heavily on his familiarity with his surroundings, his keen hearing, and the guidance of his family to help him navigate his surroundings.
Sound Sensitivity. Mishka is very sensitive to sound, and is easily overwhelmed in locations where there is lots of it: large crowds, battlefields, etc. In these situations, he uses meditation to help put him self at ease, though may have difficulty grounding himself in the first place.
------- Among other things, this impacts how he fights when taking certain jobs; for example, he equips his noisier MCH and GNB weapons with silencers to avoid damaging his hearing or even briefly stunning or deafening himself.Silent as the Grave. Always one for light steps, Mishka became a master of stealth -- both passive and active -- when he learned the ways of the shinobi, and has taken to naturally speaking in calm, hushed tones. As such, few notice when he passes by or stops to listen to a conversation until he makes himself known, which often results in startled faces and exclamations of surprise and confusion.

History
Even before the events of A Realm Reborn and beyond took place, Mishka was dragged into a storied, adventurous life full of change and hardship. Mishka's full, detailed history is still a work in progress, so for now, enjoy a brief summary of his life before the story of FFXIV takes place!
Before A Realm Reborn
The Golmore Jungle. Mishka Fyth was born in the secluded Rava village of Fyth beneath the shaded boughs of Golmore Jungle to Reena Fyth and Fairen Djt-dvre, second to their elder sibling Brey Fyth and later joined by little Deere Fyth. They lived a quiet life under their mother's tutelage, their education focused on the arts of archery, smithing, and botany until age thirteen, when he was determined to be male. Thrust into the dangers of the jungle to become a Wood Warder, Mishka was guided by Brey -- who was determined male a few years prior -- and mentored by their father for a number of Migrations... until Fairen vanished without a trace. The brothers were devistated, yet, as the Jungle's balance must be maintained, Mishka was given the surname of "Djt-dvre" or "thunderstrike" in his place.
-------However, this achievement was short lived, as Mishka, Brey, and a few other Wood Warders were later captured by a contingent of soldiers loyal to the Garlean Empire. While the imperials' sight was ultimately set on the Kingdom of Dalmasca, the young viera was whisked away as a IVth Legion conscript, forever exiled from his woodland home.The Vassal-State of Doma. For Mishka's skill as a soft-footed hunter and Brey's resolute, martial prowess, both were transferred to the XIIth Legion in Doma to learn the ways of the shinobi and samurai, respectively. The two were kept largely separate, and eventually, Brey was assigned to serve less as the bodyguard to Zenos yae Galvus and more as a tool for the crown prince to screen the strength of his enemies, hoping that one would be deemed worth his time.
-------Not wanting to associate his actions done on the Empire's behalf with his beloved culture, Mishka adopted the Garlean name Silvius oen Tacitus, his middle name denoting his status as a Legionarius, and later, Duplicarius.The Battle at Cartenou. Upon learning of Archon Louisoix's plans to harness the power of The Twelve and thrust Dalamud from the heavens, the Empire sent Mishka on a crucial mission to assassinate the prophet before he could thwart their plans weeks before they were to be put into motion. However, Mishka was delayed by raging storms, and instead met his target on the field of Cartenou, mere moments before he was to enact his plan... yet the Archon recognized the face of the hero he had long prophesied as Eorzea's savior.
-------Louisoix held off Mishka's dogged attacks until Bahamut broke free of Dalamud's shell, released its Teraflare attack, and awoke the shinobi's Echo. As images of Louisoix's grandchildren flitted through Mishka's mind, Louisoix bade he protect them, and seized the opportunity he needed to teleport Mishka to safety of the rift between realms.
