SPIRIT INFORMATION

FIRST SPIRIT 

Name: Vissza
Element: Light
Vissza's spirit shape is that of a mirror. More specifcially, the concept of a mirror. He will systematically take on Miska's appearance, whatever the latter will look like at that given time (with the exception of his light-based colour scheme). Vissza is a kind and caring spirit, with an endless amount of patience and devotion to his wizard. Very nurturing and fiercely loyal, he will follow Miska's lead without hesitation, no matter what dubious business the wizard might be up to. He has a strong belief and confidence in Miska and will jump into the fray in a second.

Vissza appeared to Miska in orb form when he was nearly seventeen, when Miska ran from his foster center and his wizard needed him most. Due to Miska's initially frightened and wary reaction, it took two years before Vissza took shape and they formed the pact. Having only had each other for years, Vissza and Miska share a very strong connection. He is mute to everyone except his wizard. 

|| SPELLS ||

Spell One: Mirror Shatter (offense)

Miska positions replicas of himself, who will then blow up and shower any opponents in the vicinity with sharp shards of mirror glass. The replicas maintain the stance Miska left them in; they are basically like an imprint he left in that space. They do not move independently like his support duplicates do.

Level Two || He can install 5 replicas. A little easier to control at this stage, Miska can control the timing of the explosion for two replicas. The others will set off within unpredicatable time margin between one and five minutes. If he tries really hard, he can maybe command the third, but he's at risk of over-exertion which will make the remaining replicas collapse into pieces harmlessly. The explosion spans a 5 meter/yard radius.
Level Three (Locked) || He can install 10 replicas. They will shatter upon Miska’s command, or when attacked. He can release the triggers on them seperately, so they don't shatter all at once, unless he wants them to. The explosion spans an 8 meter/yard radius.

Spell Two: Mirror Image (defense)

Miska creates a physical mirror illusion and turns into a mirror image of the person he's facing. He mirrors their moves to block them and cancel them out. He can’t do anything that the foe isn’t doing. Being hit from another source cancels out this ability.

Level One || Miska can keep the defense streak up for 5 minutes.
Level Two || (Locked) Miska can keep the defense streak up for 15 minutes.
Level Three || (Locked) Miska can keep the defense streak up for 30 minutes.

Spell Three: Duplication (support) - MAXED 

Miska can create duplicates of himself, which all move independently. Miska more or less splits his consciousness amongst the duplicates. Timespan of keeping the duplicates up depends on how many he has produced at that time. The more there are, the more draining it becomes. The duplicates will disappear either by their choice, or when damage is inflicted upon them. This is his most preferred move and therefore most well-practiced.

Miska can create up to 20 duplicates.

Spell Four: It's Not Me It's You (support) 

Miska can morph into someone’s spitting image. He needs to physically see the person he wants to change into, literally becoming their mirror image. Once he has memory of them, he can change into that person at any given moment. Other than his defense spell, when being hit, he does not revert back to normal, unless he goes unconscious, or he’s hit in the head, causing him to go dizzy or disorientated, so it’s harder for him to keep up the spell. Otherwise the spell runs out when he runs out of energy. Also other than his defense spell, he can walk around and talk about freely.

- Level one: He can keep up the disguise for about 1 hour.
- Level two: He can keep up the disguise for about 3 hours.
- Level three: He can keep up the disguise for about 6 hours.

Spell Five: Mirror Coat (support) 

The light is bent in such a way that Miska appears invisible. The space in front of him reflects the area around him, to make it appear as if he is not there. Being heavily hit cancels out the effect. He can move around, but he needs to be careful, since going too fast can cause small ripples to betray that he's there.

- Level one: He can keep up the disguise for about 30 minutes.
- Level two: He can keep up the disguise for about 1 hour.
- Level three: He can keep up the disguise for about 2 hours.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

PERSONALITY 

Miska tends to portray himself as a very sociable and outgoing character, an all-people's friend. Cunning and sly, he easily talks his way out of things fast, which he prefers rather than using any kind of force since he's not particularly strong. He has a very mischievous streak and is something of a trickster, for which he likes to use his five-finger swiftness. He can cover this up quite nicely with a large dose of charm, which he will use at any given opportunity, coming off as a very "hello ladies" kind of guy. He will, however, remain perfectly polite, adding more to his charming facade. Facade indeed, as underneath it all Miska is a complex person, with his fair share of insecurities and difficulty to commit to people. He's easy to talk to and befriend, but one could wonder how well they actually do know him.

HISTORY

 
Miska was spirit born to two moms, Femi Redstone and Olivia Tuma, who were also pacted as Wizard and Praetor, in Lake Worth, Florida. When Miska was two years old, his mothers suspected they were on the Knights' radar. Wishing to throw the Knights off their trail and making sure they didn't find out about Miska, his mothers left Miska in his grandfather Maximilian's (Olivia's father) care. Being an ordinary mortal, his grandfather has little knowledge of magic and the wizard community, aside from what he has learned from his Praetor daugher. He was told by his daughter to wait a week and had they not returned, he had to leave state and keep Miska hidden. Femi and Olivia did not return, so Maximilian acted upon his daughter's request and moved to Los Angeles, California instead. Here he raised Miska on his own, as his mothers never returned, having mostly likely fallen victim to Knights. It left Maximilian quite heartbroken, but he lived up to his daughter's wish as best as he could, and raised Miska as clandestine as he could. As such, he never mentioned to Miska anything of his wizard heritage, in fear someone or something might pick up on it.

Ten years later, disaster struck again, and Maximilian suffered from a fatal heart attack. This left Miska all on his own, so he was left in foster care. This system, however, did not suit him well. The death of his parents, and then later his grandfather, made him hesitant to attach himself to other people. As such, he had a hard time fitting in with other families and shut himself out from them, often running away. When he neared seventeen, Miska had enough from the switching around foster homes and foster centres, so he ran. It was when he was like this, on his own and nowhere to go, that Vissza, his birth spirit, appeared to him in his orb-form. Needless to say, it freaked Miska out quite a bit, having no idea spirits even existed. It was an extensive process that spanned a good chunk of time before Miska warmed up to Vissza and made sure he wasn't going bananas. Vissza sensed he had to be patient with Miska, so he didn't take shape until Miska was 19 and they formed a pact. He received his Dulcedomum letter at this point, which he was extremely distrusting about and ignored, because he thought it sounded too much like people coming to pick him up again like they did with foster care, or someone trying to recruit him into a cult. 

During his time on the street after running from his foster centre, Miska sought refuge in different squatters' dens while doing odd jobs here and there. He was eventually introduced do sleight of hand tricks and other con tricks that would raise him money faster, as well as getting involved with other dodgy business. When he pacted with Vissza, he got familiar with his wizard abilities and he learned to use them for his con tricks. He prefers his duplication abilities to throw people off track or to make a successful escape. Over this course of time, he grew very close and attached to Vissza, the latter often helping him with his trick performances. He spent years like this, also moving from place to place whenever it was time for him to leave, like when people he owed money to got too close on his heels.

This was his life up until he was picked up by Vanguard apprentices (they were sent to fetch him after seeing Miska had appeared on the Knights' radar) and got acquainted with Dulcedomum. It turns out the wizard family in Dulcedomum had been keeping sporadic tabs on him. While feeling no particular attachment to the house or its inhabitants, he saw the concept of a moving house as a more selfish opportunity to leave his current whereabouts and throw people off his track. For now, the concept of all these people being related to him is very weird to him, and doesn't feel any familial attachment to them. As such, the idea it is expected of him to ever bond with a Praetor is very surreal to him.
