Miron

### Relatives

Father deceased, mother handed him over to the Order of Moonlight at a young age

## History

Born to a single mother- his father having died during a raid against the Lost Zone- Miron didn't have much growing up. Rather, his mother worked tirelessly to provide him some measure of comforts, but caring for a single child was not easy. This was made all the more poignant with the way he occasionally seemed to distort things around him. Sometimes things slowed, sometimes they sped up... While occasionally this was beneficial- a cup slowing down it's descent, making it easier to catch... Often it was counter-productive, where the same cup might speed up, shattering on the ground with far more force.

His mother didn't know what to make of this, so he was brought before the court of the Order of Moonlight at the tender age of 7 per the decision of the matchers she brought Miron before. In essen, this was an order dedicated to the understanding and ministrations to the world by the divine goddess Shizuru and her lover Tsukiyo. Paladins were trained to uphold order and become beacons of good in the world. Due to his particular talents and the connection to divine energies Miron seemed to possess, it was believed that this was an ideal situation. His mother was not happy about this decision, but in the end she had little choice. She could not care for him, and so she passed him on to those who could, before retreating from the capitol in shame.

The training was strict and harsh, and Miron constantly faltered during this. His bladework was immaculate, and his power over divine energies proved to be far greater than many of the other paladins of his age... However it quickly became apparent that what they once thought to be a blessing was truly a curse, as divine energies reacted caustically with the young boy. Some of the instructors believed that perhaps he would have better fared as a kitsune oracle, channeling those divine whims productively as many others do... But at this point, what was done was done, and the matchers' will was not to be denied. They knew better, with their divine insight, and as such it was only proper that Miron be raised a paladin.

As he grew older, he began to become more uncontrollable. It wasn't quite that he didn't stick to the tenets- rather, he did pretty well in this regard- but he did not conduct himself properly. Frequently, he would escape the grounds and go off to find 'fun' things to do. Feasting, flirting... He wasn't very subtle with his actions, and this angered the order's heads. At roughly the age of 20, this came to a head as the master of the order called him in to demand he reconsider- he was showing a poor face for the order, and it was his responsibility to present properly. They were the ones that took him in when he had nowhere else to go, after all.

Miron snapped. He hadn't been given the option nor opportunity to decide his path, instead having been thrown here by what he saw to be an uncaring mother, disinterested matchers, and was being forced to act 'appropriately' in spite of all this? He'd played there little game for far too long, and this was enough. He angrily spoke to the head of the order about this, venting his long-built frustrations... And in so doing, insulted the 'honor' he had been given. The grandmaster drew his sword.

What happened next could only be described as a mockery. Miron, still young and training, was no match for a seasoned veteran who had fought in many wars. The grandmaster showed no mercy, and it was all Miron could do to survive as the man attempted to take his life, as was his 'right' by their society. Realizing how bad a position he was in, Miron shot one last retort at him, before frantically escaping. He hitched to one of the wagons, never to return.

Five years later, he arrives in Akere, finding himself in a small town of Aber. A Young Woman found him taking part in the current festival there, and began showing him around, teaching him about the new place he found himself in and their ways. The way that Akere operated was... not one he fully agreed with... And he was rather wary of the Mercanarium. After having been brought up in the military against his will for a cause he didn't believe in, he hardly wanted to step into this just for some political favor. He was looking for a way to live easily and do what he wanted for a change, not what others wanted of him.

Soon after this, an Inuba showed him to her home, giving him a place to stay, and in spite of a very rocky introduction to her sister Miron quickly grew fond of the two rabbits, spending much of his time at their villa and slowly beginning to grow a small number of women that would choose to stick to him. During this time, he went through many trials and tribulations, the only part of his home he kept to him being the cold iron blade he had been trained with, which normally would have been taken from him... But after a while, this, too, he set aside. He was finally willing to put down the past. He was building a new future in Aber, one that old scars hardly had a reason to stick around with. Hefting his new weapon, the warhammer Destruction that he had taken off the body of a facsimile of one of the four horsemen, he now seeks to defend this new life he has forged for himself.

## Appearance

Miron is roughly average height for a kitsune, which places him as slightly shorter than many other men. He has a lean yet powerful frame that is built more for agility. His apple-red hair is cut somewhat short, and usually has a slightly unkempt manner that comes off as more charming than unclean. Rather, he is pretty regular in his maintenance, keeping himself clean and well cared for. He is simply more focused on comfort than being presentable, to a degree, however he still cuts a rather cutting edge as a result. He wears a mithril breastplate, and of recent has taken to wielding a modified warhammer he took off of the Horseman of Destruction after aiding in their defeat during a challenge- while this may not be a true rendition of one of the four horsemen, it was still a chillingly difficult fight that he takes some measure of pride in. He has also recently taken to wielding a shield, having started to want to push a bit more defensive ability to keep those he cares about safe as opposed to his previous fighting style.

Lately, this has become a bit more maleable. For a time, his eyes seemed to shine when the light hit them, for instance, only lasting a short time. While it's not really known what is causing this, if someone asks, Miron simply smiles.

## Personality

Miron often seems a little flighty at times, being quick to flirt or compliment others, and often insists that people simply 'don't compliment each other nearly enough.' It's rare that he receives compliments back, and sometimes this is misconstrued as more than the gentle fun that he intends, which has lead to a few fights in the past... But typically he really does mean it innocently. While he is the sort that wouldn't complain if it went further than a little playful flirting or compliments, he also very much isn't the sort to be upset if it doesn't, and usually won't push much further. Typically, he's a fairly gentle and nice person, smiling readily and quick to flirt or joke, with a warmth he tends to share readily with others.

Things change drastically once combat starts, almost to the point where he seems a different person. While he'll still flirt with people occasionally during this time, it's usually quick jibes more than anything. He is a lot more focused and resolute... But the moment that someone harms one of those he cares for, things change entirely. He becomes a force of terror, single-mindedly carving his way through the battlefield in a rather hot-blooded and enraged manner. It becomes somewhat harder to reason with him in this state- it's either they drop or he does... And he becomes a lot more terrifying as a result.

## Loves

At this time, Miron mainly has developed love for his harem, but also has certain *Things* he is attached to as well, such as chocolate and a good beer. Rather, it would be easier to say that Miron has grown something of a love for the simple things in life. Currently, his harem includes some interesting types, including three forlarren fey from the harem of a fey prince he defeated during a quest by DJ Whoserdaddy, the three of them handed over to him, and joining him in his little harem... As well as a pair of naga constructs that had been painted into reality, who play biwas similarly to him.

He also has taken both of the usagi who had once taken him in, although the relationship there is a little odd... And more recently has been courting a kitsune named Megan.

## Fears

Miron has gotten a taste of his own personal freedom and likes. Now that he has these kinds of enjoyment and ability to taste the freedom he had been denied, losing it is something he greatly fears. As a result of this, he has grown very protective over his harem, and rather possessive. He usually doesn't take fights seriously unless this is something brought up. When it is, he very quickly becomes quite scary...

## Hobbies

Miron's Biwa is likely one of the greatest examples of a 'hobby' he has. While he often uses it as a way of socializing and making money, he has a passion for music, with string instruments being something he is particularly adept at. It's not uncommon to find him filling idle time playing with his biwa, his tail twitching in time like a metronome as he does.

Beyond this, he also frequently enjoys speaking with people, working with them, and flirting with cute girls.

## Family

Outside of his harem, Miron tends to avoid speaking about his original 'family.' He has developed some level of feelings of abandonment as a result of his mother leaving him, and this is something of an insecurity of his. For him, those he has taken in, his group of loved ones, is about as much a 'family' as he can get, and that's perfectly fine by him.

While he accepts that it's possible his mother could have ended up making a new family wherever she went, finding new relationships and love, he tries not to think of it. The idea that he would be dropped off for training and left, only for his mother to make a whole new family like he had never mattered was something that truly struck him to the core, and was a matter he greatly detested, and he didn't want to become bitter.

## Friends

Barring his harem, he has been endeavoring to make friends with some of the catfolk of Akere and others in the area. The young crafter catgirl, Pinuh, is one such friend that he frequently returns to for more improvements on his work, for instance. He gets along with most people fairly easily, so it's not uncommon for him to make fast friends with most people in the area that he has met. In either case, he often finds interesting predicaments where he has few issues finding a group to spend time with regardless of where he goes.

## Enemies

So far, Miron hasn't gathered much more in the ways of enemies. He has been rather confrontational with some of the evil fey around Aber, however hasn't been outright aggressive toward any fey period. Due to his willingness to work, he has been gathering some level of acclaim in Aber, although his unwillingness to work in the Mercenarium has soured that somewhat. He still holds some level of resentment toward his former home, but not to the point of considering anyone except for his original order as 'enemies.'

## Aspirations

At this point, while it wasn't originally in his plans, Miron has grown to rather enjoy being surrounded by his own personal harem. As a result, he has been rather eager to gather people with relatively similar ideologies to him in order to build his harem. He isn't really desiring to gain any positions of power, however if one of the Nunh does cause issues, he also has no qualms with challenging them as per their own laws and taking their role for himself.
