Mikhail Miroslavovich Cliamovsky

Mikhail Cliamovsky was a Vulpur dyntoi who originated from Eldham. Born into a small Vulpur clan, Mikhail never had a place to truly call his homeland other than the unknown and unidentified clan. After the passing of his wife of 28 years, Amelia Lynnxion, Mikhail decided to leave Eldham and go to Rathnir with what little stuff he had. With support from his two sons, Krasota and Alexsei, he was able to afford a boat to move to Rathnir.

Mikhail Miroslavovich Cliamovsky
Mikhail was born into a small Vulpur clan in Eldham, outcast from the rest of Vulpur society for a mutation that changed the fur colors of the outcasts into varied, wild colors. This clan was under constant threat, as it always intruded on land claimed by one nation or another. Mikhail never knew peace, and quickly learned the danger of the world when he watched his father, Miroslav D. Cliamovsky, die from an attack from a local militia.

It would take him and the clan many years to finally hide away safely, but once he did, he could finally settle down and relax for a while. It was when he was 26 that he married his wife, Amelia Lynnxion, that he finally closed the chapter on his life of paranoid terror. During the 28 years he was married, he had two children named Krasota and Alexsei. However, tragedy struck when Amelia died of a bacterial infection in her lungs.

As a widower, Mikhail had many mental troubles. His mental health declined rapidly, and his stress grew immensely. He knew things had to change if he were to survive, and so, 3 years after his wife had passed, he and his sons pooled some valuables together and sold them to a wandering trader. With the money gathered, he paid to travel to Rathnir via boat. However, once he arrived, he never came back to Eldham.

Early Rathnir Life
Early on, Mikhail was a simple miner. His most reliable source of money was taking a pickaxe and going down into the mines and finding iron, gold, diamonds, etc.. Originally living in Valron City, Mikhail had difficulty in making good money. He tried fishing, brewing, and even tried participating in Sirradra politics, all to no avail. Eventually, he began blacksmithing and found his craft in it. Blacksmithing made him enough money where he could finally direct his attention towards more pressing matters.

One of the first things he did once he had secured enough money was look into starting his own town. At first, he intended on making one from the ground up with permission from the Autokrator of Sirradra, Yida Bakura, who he believed would grant him access to the ability to make a town. He asked Yida what he had to do to start his own town, who directed him to Sima, the king of Valrôn. After a long time of planning and inquiry, Sima and Mikhail met together, along with Alex echo Boarisa, and agreed to let Mikhail take over control of Dragonsguard.

Life as Dyntoi of Dragonsguard
Prior to becoming dyntoi of Dragonsguard, Mikhail attended two major events in Valrôn, the king’s speech, and Queen Alvara’s funeral, which marked a major change in Mikhail. Mikhail had grown to favor the king due to these events and his brief meetings with the king. Shortly after an event, the king met with Mikhail and, after some discussion, king Sima declared Mikhail the dyntoi of Dragonsguard.

Once in charge of Dragonsguard, one of his first moves was to develop Dragonsguard into a commerce hub. With help from Alex, who had become a cherished friend of Mikhail over the course of Mikhail’s time in Rathnir, they began to upgrade Dragonsguard housing, fix up any broken or unfinished structures, build new buildings, etc..

The Dragonsguard Reinstitution Program
The Dragonsguard Reinstitution Program is a program developed by Mikhail M. Cliamovsky that seeks to improve the city government of Dragonsguard. The program outlines several government roles and their responsibilities. These roles make up the Dragonsguard City Council. The roles and their responsibilities are as follows:

Dragonsguard Dyntoi
The Dragonsguard Dyntoi reports to the king with requests, questions, projects, events, etc.. They also appoint and remove members of the Dragonsguard City Council, endorse goals or missions proposed by members of the city, export goods to the king, manage imported goods. The dyntoi must also approve projects from other members of the council and approve events.

Dragonsguard Architectural Manager
The Dragonsguard Architectural Manager must approve building projects, report all building activity to the dyntoi, and act as a creative visionary for the city. They also receive and respond to complaints about buildings, plan and issue building orders, and can demolish and update buildings and zones, so long as they have the approval of the dyntoi to do such acts.

Dragonsguard City Clerk
The Dragonsguard City Clerk receives complaints, requests, questions, event plans, projects, etc. and reports them to the proper authority. They also act as a mediator in neighborly conflicts and in place of the dyntoi for representative jobs if the dyntoi is unavailable. The clerk also passes messages between different officials if necessary.

Dragonsguard Housing Agent
The Dragonsguard Housing Agent receives and responds to rehousing requests, new members seeking housing, and members who wish to move out of the city. They work with requesters to find them a suitable house, and record payments from them. The agent then sends the payment to either the finance operator or the dyntoi.

Dragonsguard Storage Auditor
The Dragonsguard Storage Auditor records storage requests and any major storage changes. They also alert the dyntoi of unexpected changes in storage, keep a weekly audit of all important exports, package all exports, sorts the storage regularly, and adds imports into the storage. The auditor must also confirm if Dragonsguard’s production is performing normally, overperforming, or underperforming.

Dragonsguard Finance Operator
The Dragonsguard Finance Operator records all transactions, audits other city councilman's transactions in regards to city spending, and then reports any overspending and other financial information to the dyntoi. They also keep track of all government salaries and warn other city councilmen when they are close to overspending, or are currently overspending.

Death
As the time passed, Mikhail grew older and more tired. Eventually, Alex Borisa passed away. Mikhail arranged the funeral, which saw Wraith Yurei, Sima Bakura, and Alan Grey Rat attend. In the following days, Mikhail's life slowed down and he spent most of his time writing letters and playing his piano.

Mikhail died on the 21st of November, 2023. A heart attack caused his death, and was a result of stress. In the Valron discord, Mikhail's death was announced with the short story titled "Flatlined."

Flatlined
It happened suddenly, without warning. Time appeared to move slowly at first. Mikhail, a vulpur who had climbed the ranks and had blossomed in Valrôn despite his migration from Eldham (with the support of his sons), sat quietly in his beloved hobby room. He pawed at his precious piano, filling the air with a peaceful melody, as he desired nothing short of pure solace in the moment. Mikhail had just finished writing heartfelt letters to his sons, Krasota and Alexsei. On top of that, he had just written his first (albeit short) classical piece in his native tongue.

Suddenly, time resumed its quick pace. The elderly vulpur felt a sharp pain seize his chest, forcing him to cry out in anguish. Tumbling from his stool, he fell to the ground and lay there, dying. Exhausted from a lifetime of beating, his heart finally surrendered to the Reaper. The vulpur's eyes watered from the pain, but he did not scream in fear. He sank to the floor, accepting the reality of his fate. Mikhail thought of his letters, how he would never be able to send them to his sons, and how the precious song he penned would never find those he held dear.

Mikhail took his last breath. High above in Paradise, he was to finally reunite with his beloved wife, Amelia, and his loyal friend, Alex. Still, amidst this bliss, a lingering thought remained unpondered; someone would have inevitably unearthed his precious letters and would send them to their intended recipient… But who? Who would find him, find his letters?

Would it be Wraith, his friend and colleague, who sought him out to ask about a project? Maybe it would be King Sima, who'd seek out Mikhail, hoping for a conversation, only to find a fox whose heart finally broke. Perhaps Alan would discover him, ready to ask more about his father?

However, none of this mattered to Mikhail. He did not mind if Wraith found his corpse, if Sima bore witness to his body, if Alan discovered his remains. He didn't care; he was back in peace with his wife and dear friend. He was happy.

Mikhail's Funeral
Mikhail's funeral was planned and prepared by Alan.
