Hero: Mishka Kosolapij
(Russian expression: “Mishka Kosolapy” – a folk nickname for a bear, literally "Pigeon-toed Bear")
Alt spellings: Mishka Kosolapyyj, Mishka Kosolapij

Role: Bruiser / Initiator / Aura Frontliner
Style: A physically imposing, beastlike character with a touch of ironic "dad energy" and terrifying primal strength.

Mishka Kosolapij is a man who forgot where the beast ends and the man begins. In his human form, he’s a broad-shouldered figure draped in a rough, worn-out bearskin. A bear’s head acts as his hood, shadowing fierce, knowing eyes. His gait carries the weight of Soviet forests, and his voice rumbles like a growl from the heart of the taiga.

But when he channels the full force of his inner spirit — the man disappears. What remains is a massive brown bear, cloaked in soul-essence, its paws steaming against the ground, and each strike falling like an ancient ancestral hammer.

He’s not just a beast — he’s a father. A protector. A wrath-bringer. A force that never charges alone, but always with the spiritual echoes of his children.

Human form:
- Burly frame in a heavy fur cloak
- Bear’s skull as a hood
- Eyes full of purpose
- Dark red linen shirt, heavy boots and leather trousers
- An ancient beast's horn hanging from his neck

Bear form (R):
- Muscular, shaggy brown-furred beast
- Spirit power radiates subtly from claws
- Visibly larger than human form — think ABRAMS with fur

Mishka represents the Russian archetype of the silent, unbreakable guardian — the kind of man who endures wounds, crowds, cold, and chaos to press forward.

He stands at the crossroad between beast and father, instinct and self-sacrifice.
Perfect for players who want to initiate, buff allies, outlive everyone, and look terrifying doing it.

- Leads the charge, with form switching and mobility
- Enables teammates via movement auras and buffs
- Punishes clustering with proximity pressure
- Scales with Boon through Medvedetki
- Pairs well with zone-control heroes, pushing soft frontline and soaking attention

In human form: calm, gruff, lightly accented Russian. Think cold wisdom and dry threat.
Example lines (spoken in Russian with translit — suggestion: use actual Russian profanity/мат if allowed in VO!):

«Deti moi… ne lezte pod pulyu.» (My children… don’t walk into bullets.)
«Kosolapyy, no ne slepoy.» (Pigeon-toed, not blind.)
«Skoro budet bol'no. Ne vam — im.» (Pain’s coming. Not for you — for them.)

In bear form: mostly guttural snarls, with the occasional terrifying utterance, like:
«Mishka… idyot.» (Mishka… is coming.)
«Za stayu!» (For the pack!)
«Ya — burya!» (I am the storm!)

1 – Skorobeg (translit: “Skorobeg” – literally “fast run”)
Mechanic: Activates a movement speed aura around Mishka that accelerates all nearby allies. It’s not a buff — it’s a field.

Visual: Mishka drops to all fours, charging forward like a bear. His limbs blur slightly from speed, and an earthy, brown mist coils around him. Allies in the aura see glowing “pawprints” ripple beneath their feet as they move.

2 – Medvedzhij VOJ (translit: “Medvedzhij VOJ” – “Bear’s Howl”)
Mechanic: While active, deals periodic Spirit damage per second to nearby enemies and grants Mishka a buff to attack speed and damage.

Visual: Mishka pounds his chest with both fists like a brutal Slavic Kong, releasing shockwaves and roars with each strike. Every hit sends a half-circle blast outward from his position, rippling the screen ever so slightly.

3 – Medvedetki (translit: “Medvedetki” – “Little Bears” / “Bear Cubs”)
Mechanic: Summons spirit bear cubs that passively boost Mishka's power.

- Starts with 1 cub
- Gains +1 cub per 5 Boon
- Up to 5 total

Each cub is untargetable, uncommandable, and grants Mishka:
- Bonus max health
- Bonus base damage

Visual: Upon cast, a bear cub bursts into frame from behind the camera and hops onto Mishka’s back or runs beside him. Each one emits a faint golden glow and leaves a soft glowing trail on the ground.

4 – Voploshchenie (translit: “Voploshchenie” – “Embodiment”)
Mechanic: Transforms instantly into a massive brown bear for 12 seconds. In this form, Mishka gains increased base stats — HP, armor, damage, and attack animation speed. No AoE pulses, no gimmicks — just raw power.

Visual: Mishka drops to a crouch as his body surges outward with fur and muscle. His limbs crack and reform into paws. A primal roar erupts from his chest, and his fur glows subtly with gold and shadow. Camera zooms slightly and shakes just enough to let players feel the weight.

P.S.
The post will be updated if something else comes to my mind.

The idea was thought up entirely by me, inspired by the idea that the character I came up with could be realized in a game.
I was also inspired by a couple of heroes from other games and various works, I used chatgpt for easier layout and formatting.
