One of my older and well-known characters from DA and Youtube... had this guy since 03-04 and he has gone through a ridic amount of changes, I'll have to make him a timeline one day. I've tweaked his design slightly and given him the name Misha, keeping Kirn as the name of his other soul since it sounds more gutteral and not really fitting with a happy doggu. Also people misspell it as Kirin like 75% of the time so idk what that's about x3

Misha is the main catalyst (c wut i did thar) for the story which involves him, Kaylink, Shemal, and many others. Basically in the story-world he's a part of, each individual life form has a small piece of the soul that has a residual elemental connection from way olden times. It can be pretty much anything - water, mist, silt, thorns, sparks, whatever. Misha starts out with his "element" being Light, which is pretty rare (though not unheard of). Basically he gets caught up in some bad juju and ends up accidentally wandering too close to a residual shadow soul (Kirn), which was left behind by its body and has just been kind of chilling out and festering for a while. Souls are drawn to living bodies, so it sort of infuses into him (entering through his right eye, which splits open the skin around it, causing the scar, and corrupts the appearance of - the design is based off a goat's eye, which is one of the traditional animals of Hell). But because his own soul was Light, being the polar opposite of shadow, neither one is able to fully stay in control, leaving him basically with two souls and a shitload of problems that become more and more crippling as the story goes on.

Misha is generally a good guy, a little overly sarcastic and slow to trust, but has his heart in the right place; he is extremely close and protective over his brother Luka. Kirn, on the other hand, is not quite right in the head, having been corrupted and driven fairly insane from isolation. When Kirn is in control (he has much more influence the more adrenaline and fear is in Misha's systems), he's not terribly good at fine motor skills, and will tend to stagger, twitch, salivate, stumble, and talks very loudly (he's an A-grade douchebag). After Misha and Kirn fuse, the old, happy Misha ceases to exist and is replaced by this rather traumatized, sickly personality, as he is unaware of what is and is not real. He sticks by Luka's side like glue, although Kirn hates Luka and tends to try and drive him away. Though, Kirn hates mostly everyone.

I could write pretty much a whole novel on this guy but I won't because... well because x3 Nonetheless, he's a pet favorite character of mine. Will be working on refs of Luka and Shemal next.
