Mihascu

Mihascu is a Mage from the village of Longwhite during 31 BCE.

Overview

Mihascu has been hearing spirits as long as he's been alive, starting from before birth. Longwhite's previous shaman knew he was weakening in the years before Mihascu was born and repeatedly called on all his spirit allies and subjects to grant the village someone to take his place before he died. It worked. The old man lived just long enough to guide Mihascu through the first rites of initiation and see that the young shaman had some well-placed spirit allies. The life of a shaman is a busy one but it includes many actions that others don't see because the shaman's body is in a trance while his soul acts elsewhere, or the body accompanies the soul on some rare quests. Mihascu likes the people of his village, but feels understandably distanced from them.

Mihascu looks much older than he actually is, more like someone on the brink of death than just past thirty. He has the scars of someone who's fought both military battles and unarmed struggles against wild animals, and also the ritual tattooing and scarification that lets him open up his soil to the Upper and Lower Worlds where the spirits live. The energetic dancing of his rituals require make him sweat enough that he favors only a simple kilt and sandals for ceremonial occasions; other times he dresses in simple leather garments with an overcoat woven by the mother of a child he healed in a neighboring village. He has the classic distracted look of a shaman, since he is in fact constantly hearing voices from the other worlds and they often demand attention.
