Private Mikki waz ere!

[Mikki]

Mikki wondered throughout the strange village hidden underground, a village where everyone looked rich (they were) and lazy (they were), as if they didnt have to worry about thieves or ninjas or the like (they didnt). Was this what the world looked like if there wasnt, well, ninjas? A place where people just... did stuff and got rich?

BORING.

One thing he still could do effectively was...erm... borrow items that people seemed to not care about anymore. Gems, rings, coins - so carelessly left around as if they were not important. As a former Tsukumogami it was Mikkis responsibility, well... an unconscious drive, to ensure that no items felt lost or afraid so he continued his mission by ensuring that these items were taken care of. What happened was that he had a windfall of cash after a single day of strolling around, borrowing things, and trading them at the local shops. No one expected a small boy with an oversized brown jacket to be a criminal mastermind.

Ok, so he wasnt a criminal mastermind. He just happened to find a place without repercussions because it seemed that no-one was watching!

And so, Myakashi Mikki, criminal mastermind, would line his pockets with some of the valuables of this 'Arcadia'. Migoya would be proud!

[Mikki]

Now you see, Mikki had always been fascinated by the art of blacksmithing, spending hours watching both Migoya and the Myakashi blacksmiths at work, mesmerized by the way they could turn raw metal into beautiful and functional weapons, particularly puppets. His interest in blacksmithing and weaponmaking was not just a passing hobby. You see, Mikki was a former tsukumogami - a spirit that had taken possession of a puppet, and whilst he could not remember most of what that actually meant, it did mean he still had a... feeling - an ability to converse with 'inanimate objects' (OOC: Former CRPJ 'Mikki's chats - now not needing approval...).

Now, as a real boy, Mikki was left without a guiding purpose other than the 'mission' Migoya had given to him. He had wandered aimlessly until he stumbled upon an underground city called Arcadia in Earth Country. Here, he found a community of skilled blacksmiths who were creating advanced weaponry unlike anything he had ever seen before. They were pretty! Mikki was in awe of their skills and immediately felt a sense of belonging in this city. He offered his services as an apprentice, eager to learn and improve his own skills.

The blacksmiths were hesitant at first, unsure of what to make of this small and strange-looking boy. But when they saw the precision and finesse with which Mikki handled the tools and materials, they were impressed. Mikki's knowledge and understanding of blacksmithing techniques, combined with his innate talent and centuries of experience (unknown to him how of course!), quickly made him stand out among the other apprentices. He became a master blacksmith in no time, creating weapons and armor that were not only beautiful but also incredibly powerful. Thus the path of the Battlesmith resonated with him, enabling him to create and master weaponry like no-one else!

TREMBLE BEFORE MIKKI!
