Mischa Bachinski

"My gangster persona is just armor to conceal that I am naked child wandering the wilderness, holding in my hands my wounded, fragile heart."

• Mischa's Catchphrase

Mischa Bachinski is one of the six main characters from Ride the Cyclone. He is described as "the angriest boy in town" and is viewed as a problematic individual by Ocean (another member of the choir).

-- History:

Mischa was conceived in a little town outside Odesa in Ukraine by a factory worker named Tamara. His mother, after being part of the clean up crew in Chernobyl, was dying of prolonged exposure to Uranium. Wanting her son to be safe, she decided to put him up for adoption—forging his birth certificate, she claimed he was two years old, and was recently potty trained. When Mischa came to Canada, his adoptive parents were surprised to see their toddler had five o’clock shadow, and a slight trace of alcohol on his breath. They put him in the basement, and his adoptive mother would prepare food and leave it for him on the top of the stairs. On the rare occasion he would run into his new parents—the mother would weep, and the father would shoo him away like a horsefly. So began an inexhaustible rage. He turned to the last bastion of pure strength and masculinity in society: self-aggrandizing commercialized hip-hop. This is how Mischa became, the angriest boy in town.

-- Outfits:

Mischa's school uniform is a red sleeveless jumper over a white shirt with long sleeves that he has rolled up to his elbows. He also wears a backwards cap.

During "Noel's Lament" (noel's song), he plays the role of one of Monique's (Noel's imaginative persona) lovers. He replaces his backwards cap for a black beret.

In his own song, "This Song is Awesome", Mischa removes his red jumper and halfway through the song rips his shirt open.

In his second song, "Talia" (the song about his online fiancé), he is dressed in traditional Ukrainian clothing in most productions.

In "Space Age Bachelor Man" (Ricky's song), he dons a cat tail along with a strange shaped hat.

In "The Ballad of Jane Doe" (Jane Doe, aka Penny Lamb's song), Mischa wears a black hat and a black trench coat.
