toyhou.se created on 13 june 2020

intro

Mikhail is a charming man in his late 30s thriving in his career as a military officer, currently having the rank of lochagos (captain). He's charming, tall, gracefull, has a confident but soothing voice- and of course, he's filthy rich. He's known about his ability to capture people's attention and entertain them with his (made up) stories full of adventure.

personality

Attention is crucial for him, he basically doesn't exist when there're no eyes on him. One way to make sure he's at the center all the time besides making up stories about himself, is his flirtacious advances at anyone he deems attractive enough. He shows off every chance he gets and will info dump you about his possesions and wealth non-stop. Even though he makes sure to show a confident facade, in reality his self-esteem is basically non-existant and seeks validation from the praise of other.
When people get to know him better, he comes off as quite self-absorbed and grandiose. Always being judgemental of people he doesn't see as 'on his level' or above and reacts strongly when the same judgement is done to him by others. Seeing people wearing anything other than familiar brands, he will assume they're poor, uneducated, and generally of a low level. Unless it's Nebet of course, he's too biased towards her. Although without being self aware of it, he can become extremely abusing to his lovers.

history

He grew up in Patra, his family was the richest in whole of Peloponnese. His father was a famous architect that often traveled all over Hellas or even in Europe to work. His mother was a stay-at-home mom. Michael could have whatever he wanted with a snap of his fingers. Even so, up until his 17's, Mikhail suffered from severe sexual abuse from some of his father's friends who his mother trusted to look after him so she could go out– blaming his appearence. Since he was a little boy he was praised for being extremely pretty and cute, often misτaken for a girl. His mother would often dress him up as a girl, wearing him pretty dresses and letting his curly hair grow.

While he was in middle school he met Navy, a high schooler, under some bizzare circumstances, and at that momment they started to develop a strong friendship. Mikhail started to view her as an equal and actively tries to show his best self in front of her. Always admiring her, and feeling sickly jealous when her attention is towards another. Whenever he gets in trouble he relies on her to assist him in whatever he needs.

Result of the years of abuse, Mikhail has developed a nsrcissistic personality as a way to cope. He also suffers from anxiety, and often experiences anxiety attacks with unknown triggers, causing him to become restless, feel dizzy and tired among other symptoms. He tends to isolate himself when he has a 'crash'.
As time passes, it becomes more and more apparent to those close to him that something's wrong with Mikhail; random temper tantrums, aggressiveness, sloppiness at work, even longer dissociation episodes... but he refuses to get help.

Very talented at messing up his life, like- you think he can't do anything worse and he does.

other he often uses sophisticated words, not to show off (suprisingly) but because that's how he was taught to speak since young. when talking, he uses expressive, almost theatrical movement to emphasize whatever he's saying.
Because of extreme childhood abuse, he gets anxiety attacks with no obvious trigger, so he can't avoid it.
