Mishka
He is mortal. And I'll prove it!
Mishka is a participant of Crab 3, as part of Odyssey. Originally a noble’s servant from Russia, after death she became an incarnated spirit working for the Ouroboros guild - possessing the body of a Lamia as well as the curse of an eternal, neverending life through conscious reincarnation.
Appearance
Personality
Mishka is rather witty and guileful, but this is hard to perceive by others due to her thick Russian accent making most of her wisecracks sound cheesy. She shows some level of stoicism regarding what happens around her and initially does not seem too enthralled regarding the tournament, choosing to seek refuge on drinking.
Events of the tournament ultimately motivate her to join the Rebellion, showing Mishka feels great contempt over divine figures such as the Gamemaster, wishing to expose his weakness. In this regard she shows herself to be entirely determined, willing to throw her life away for the Rebellion’s cause.
Mishka expresses some isolation issues as well, as she acted outside of her team then and then after reincarnation felt shy about rejoining the surviving Crabs in celebration, having to be goaded to by Berbie.
Powers and Abilities
Her Lamia body allows her to constrict around opponents, as well as she possesses venom from her fangs. Despite seeming like the “brute” of her team however, she is not particularly strong and prefers to rely on charisma and guile.
During the final round and her rebellion, she dons a special armor which makes her completely immune to fire attacks - which she uses to effectively tank the Gamemaster’s explosions and fireballs.
Mishka’s main ability however is the fact that she will reincarnate immediately after death - on a fixed spot outside her control and in another kind of body of her choice. Her appearance will stay similar however, keeping her slanted eyes and turned up nose.
Background
History
Round 1
Mishka (lost, entry) vs Micheal and Noot (won, entry). Match page: C3 R1 - Mishka vs Micheal and Noot
Both Mishka and Micheal joined the Forest alliance.
In Mishka’s reality, she was invited by the Alliance to compete in Taylon Tshoh, a dancing event, so she shyly asked Frankie for help to learn how to dance. Frankie happily accepted and all Odyssey members joined into teaching her. Once the event began, she competed with dancing against Micheal’s instrument playing and ultimately won with an almost-perfect score (all 10’s except for a 9.5 by Harry who is a certified ass.) On a separate reality from it, Mishka had her whole reality burn down as she learned someone had cheated in the tournament through sabotaging her creator’s computer.
In Micheal’s canon reality, a wandering Micheal found himself invited into a tavern by a quaint village, where he saw Mishka dancing. Joining in to play the tagelharpa alongside her dancing, Micheal accidentally caused Mishka to slip and lose the veil the villagers had put on her to control her. A now released Mishka requested Micheal to play something more upbeat as she slaughtered the villagers, revealed to be ghouls using objects like the veil to control and drain the life-force of unsuspecting visitors, with both Crabs celebrating the victory.
Round 2
Mishka (won) vs Morgan O’Reilly (lost, entry) in Karaoke. Match page: C3 R2 - Mishka vs Morgan O’Reilly
Having drunk the kemono potion (turning into a snake cat girl now) Mishka faced Morgan in a Karaoke battle.
In Morgan’s reality, Morgan secured a swift victory through the use of the stand granted to her by her potion, Funky Dealer, allowing her to sing her choice to perfection.
In Mishka’s canon reality, a Mishka wandering alongside a drunk Sentimia and Frankie was confronted by Davok, who tried to kill the monster-girl. Being affected by Sentimia’s alcoholism empathy-wave (alcohol stank), Davok dropped drunk, and a disapproving Morgan chose instead to solve the crab battle through karaoke. Using Funky Dealer to pick the best songs to herself Morgan began by singing Metal Gear songs - Sentimia, Frankie, Davok, and the competitors participated, yet the night ended in all of them drunkenly sleeping in a big pile.
Round 3
Mishka (won, entry) vs Harry Chamberland (lost). Match page: C3 R3 - Mishka vs Harry
In Round 3, Mishka joined the Rebellion efforts against the Gamemaster, even participating in the assault at Nuremberg and the rescue of the prisoners. Using Harry’s support and cameras, she declared to the entire Tournament the desire to prove the Gamemaster’s mortality and attack him. Arrested by the gnomes, Harry and Mishka confronted the wizard with files involving his lust for Frankie, his hatless endeavors and other dirt, but the Gamemaster slapped Harry. They then detonated the Gamemaster’s tower alongside many gnomes. As the battles went and Mishka confronted the Gamemaster, he offered her a spot at his side if she quit the rebellion, but Mishka bluntly refused. The wizard responded by siccing Bodycount on her, but before she was eaten, she was saved by the timely intervention of Origami Samurai. Recalling her experiences during the tournament, Mishka ultimately used the Magai Ball given to her by the rebels to destroy Bodycount and the tower and herself with it in an act of rebellion.
After Crab 3
After her death in Round 3, Mishka reincarnated as a young elf girl. She remained by Berbie’s side until he encouraged her to join again her team and the rest of the Crabs. No wish of her to the Bratheon is known, but she can be seen staying at Lenard’s place as a gift from Kome during the latter’s epilogue.
In Dylan’s Epilogue I “Paradise Lost”, she is shown to be fetched by Sunny who explained to her what happened. Mishka expresses her intent not to rejoin the Odyssey but Sunny rejects this and promptly tells her that it will take time for them to go back to their worlds. Sunny then invites Mishka to go back to their home, the Odyssey Airship.
After CRAB Mishka with much goading from Sunny assisted the undead rabbit in opening up a gameshop complete with their own Crab Trading Card Game. A resurrected Mr Overkill can be seen assisting the two in their shop likely compelled to do so by the necrobunny. Mishka’s role in the shop is card balancing and “handling” customer complaints.
Relationships
Life Within CRAB
While on the airship, it is rumored that her and Dylan had intercourse during one of their trainings, both parties deny this. Mishka was also the first one to discover Sunny as a stowaway, the two have a vitriolic frenemy like relationship. Despite this, the two would sometimes prank the crew together or go together and do hobbies like card games and cooking.
Before Round 3 started, Mishka left the Odyssey Airship to join the Nuremberg rebellion. Causing the Odyssey to fracture further.
