001.   Philosophy     Mischa does not believe in moral absolutes. He believes that lies and manipulation are just one more tool in his arsenal, and one that he employs when he sees fit without guilt. He will not lie about things related to his own romantic life, but professionally? He's absolutely willing to, to anyone, at any time, for any reason he deems worthy.

002.   Vibe     Speaks with an incongruous mix of modern slang and cursing, paired with old-fashioned turns of phrase. Type of guy who unironically will use the term "canoodle" in casual conversation, and then immediately follow it with "fuck". Clothes, if period allows, follow suit-- some days dressed in corseted waistcoats, other days in a giant hoodie and sneakers.

003.   Conflict     Loves drama. Other people's drama. Regards people who try to track unreasonable or childish drama into his life with a mix of disdain and dismissal. Highly efficient at political maneuvering and making startlingly accurate assessments and predictions of other people's actions and behaviors...cannot for the life of him assess his own interpersonal relationships with the same acuity. More likely to assume the absolute worst case scenario, and then operate under this assumption without ever mentioning it to someone else. In an argument, tends to have intense emotions that he controls tightly behind an icy wall of logic.

004.   Intimacy     A consummate bottom with little to no interest in topping. A 'switch', nominally, though he would describe himself as a 'sub'. He's more of a power bottom, extremely controlling and picky about what he wants, how his lover is allowed to touch him. Has both a maternal streak and a mean streak that tend to come out at the same time, especially around more boyish/golden retriever-y partners. Kinks: biting til blood is drawn, religious symbolism/roleplay, breeding.

005.   Gender/Sexuality     High femme trans gay man. Has been out since he was in his teens (in settings that allow). Doesn't have any interest in playing typical gender presentation for men, likes his body how it is (top surgery, no bottom, pear shaped). Loves his heels and makeup and dresses, thinks he's incredibly attractive and won't hear anything from anyone about it. (Author's Note: Thus, only interested in historical inspired or historical RPs that allow for his gender and sexuality to just exist rather than being constantly justified.) Uses He/Him pronouns but also uses female gendered language for himself interchangeably with male.

006.   Autonomy     Unlikely to be maneuvered against his knowledge into impulsivity or cruelty. Out-thinking him isn't impossible, but difficult. Would rather lose his life than his right to choose. (Author's note, for this reason, if you're trying to pull something -- talk to me. I'm completely willing to play along and help design ways that he might be blind sided).

007.   Power Dynamics     He enjoys power dynamics, but only thoughtful takes on them. If one half of the dynamic is only half interested while he's giving away his soul, that's not gonna work for him. Shared obsession is how power dynamics work for him-- he's totally cool with sleeping with his boss, so long as he's getting obsession back. He also likes the inversion of dynamics, especially intimidating partners being soft and sweet and needy with him.
