Mycha Ichtorius II

**Mycha Ichtorius II** is a player character in the New Dawn Memories campaign.

## Backstory

Mycha was born on 8. 2. 828. in the Free Barony of Felshroun to Braha Ichtorius III and Galena Ornitolijus. He was named after his grandfather Mycha Ichtorius, who was the stable manager for every sitting baron during his lifespan. His son Braha, although not managing the stables of the baron, kept up with the family business.

He grew up in affluence, but often felt lonely, since most of the workers at the family estate and his parents as well didn't like the fact that Mycha played with their children. Despite this, Mycha developed a fairly strong friendship with Kvirc Haksli, a stable boy with whom he trained sword fighting.

His sister Myscha Ichtorius was born when Mycha was seven years old. He started ignoring Kvirc in favor of his sister, with whom he immediately developed a strong bond. As the years passed, Kvirc's jealousy grew for loosing Mycha to Myscha.

Around Myscha's 16th birthday (Mycha was 23) her brother started to train for his role in the family business. Myscha, who always remembered her mother Galena's words about "being discreet in everything they do" implemented this philosophy in her pastime of killing cats. Kvirc knew about this side of her, but he did not defer in making fun of her constitution with the other stable kids.

One night, after returning home with his father from a successful business meeting, Mycha was invited by his sister to take an evening stroll across the pasture. Myscha led the way, and they walked to the outskirt stables at the edge of their estate. Once they arrived, Mycha discovered Kvirc's tied up and mutilated body. As he started to try to save him, Myscha told him that it's too late and that "these things happen when you leave your best friend behind, and your sister on her own, and she gets bored".

Myscha then rammed her dagger into Mycha's throat. He managed to escape, however, and ran to his parents' house. The whole ordeal was covered up by saying how Kvirc tried to rape Myscha and that Mycha saved her. Kvirc's parents received a compensation and Myscha was sent to a sanatorium to recover.

It was decided that it would be best for the family business to send Mycha away from the estate. He became a bodyguard of the then current free baron Asher Sheridan. During this time, Mycha developed a few significant friendships with the other staff members of the baron.

When baron Sheridan was released of the position, the newly elected office holder Miarona Kalisto, a female wood-elf, didn't trust some of the current staff and sent them to be envoys at her outposts across the Border Kingdoms. Mycha was sent to Thur, where he started to attend to his new duties, which were far easier than the ones he had in Felshroun.

One day, a kid named Fooly Cooly (FC) came up to Mycha and started telling him about Myscha and how she took over the sanatorium Bhrams. He told him that she raised him like her own son. Mycha was dumbfounded. Fooly Cooly then told him about his associates Bronco and Morty, also from Bhrams, and described them as his closest friends. He also mentioned Fred the Naughty, but Mycha noticed that FC was not a big fan of him.

The most important thing he mentioned, however, was that Myscha bit off her own tongue and now rules Bhrams under the name Tooth Fairy. Julian and Julia were parent figures to FC, which he told Mycha about. He also mentioned Bronco being a barbarian and Morty a ranger looking out for him. FC added that he was now a scout for Bhrams before leaving.

Mycha spent his days training and drinking with Tommen Tambouri, a drummer and training partner of Mycha's. One day, Tommen brought a young man he saved from the shore to Mycha's outpost. Tommen left the young man in Mycha's care and left for Dapplegate. After the young man came to his senses, Mycha learned that his name was Kilijan Mecha and part of a pirate crew.

One night, when they were out drinking at the One-Legged Donkey, Mycha's and Kilijan's conversation about becoming independent was interrupted by a song from the bard residing.
