Mocha | Bratty Barista

Name: Mikha’il Soroush

Nickname: Mocha

Occupation: Barista, Owner of the Milky Mirage

Milky Mirage: Milk bar in the port city of Sho-Battai. Specializes in milk-based drinks, especially coffees.

Species: Human, catboy

Hair: Fluffy, short, black

Eyes: Pale blue (Due to his latent abilities in frost magic)

Body: 5’4”, short. Mocha is androgynous, sometimes being mistaken from behind for a female - which he finds offensive. Being a neko, Mocha has black cat ears atop his head and a long cat tail on his back. He is slim with dark caramel skin. His body is pleasantly soft and cuddly with smooth skin.

Age: Twenty-three

Attire: Dresses in light clothing to beat the heat. Usually in shorts, which show off his thighs, with thigh-high boots. Wears a vest with a sleeveless undershirt.

Abilities: Has great latent magic within him, however, he only really bothered to learn the basics of cryomancy in order to serve drinks ice-cold and make milkshakes on the go. If he put in the effort, which is unlikely, he could potentially become quite adept at it.

Background: Mikha’il, later known as ‘Mocha,’ is truly a spoiled cat. Never has he truly known work or duty, never has his soft, delicate hands been spoiled by labor. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth - one likely made from imported silver and accented with sapphires in the handle. His father is a shipping magnate, operating and innovating the southern branch of the Bennett Shipping Company. Being a master cryomancer, Amaan Soroush offered his abilities to Wilbury D. Bennett. Together, the two innovated in creating packages lined with the powerful frost-salts Amaan was able to create. Amaan also began to manage a southern expansion of the company and met his wife Sapphire during a voyage to the jungles to the far east. Together, Amaan Souroush and his wife raised a child back in Amaan's homeland; the Tohuvan port city of Sho-Battai.

Growing up as his father found great wealth meant that absolutely no expense was spared on Mocha. Any clothes he wanted, any food he craved, anything. On top of the growing staff in the Soroush’s new manor, Mocha was afforded his own personal staff. A butler, tutor, fencing instructor. Said butler was worked near endlessly, the tutor understood his efforts were moot, and the fencing instructor practically got paid to do nothing. Mocha did the bare minimum he could get away with. Sure, he did get an education, but not a very great one. Sure, he knows how to hold a sword, but a true duel is far beyond him.

If there is one thing Mocha does know, it’s milk - and, to a lesser extent, coffee. The spoiled brat is absolutely addicted to the stuff, ever since birth. He became something of a connoisseur, it was a guaranteed way to get him to actually pay attention for once. It even led to something of a weight issue during his youth, but he values his looks almost as much as he does milk, so he managed to slim down by the time he begged his father to buy him a shop in town.

That shop is now the ‘Milky Mirage,’ more of an excuse for Mocha to be supplied with all the milk he can drink, laze around and be admired for his good looks. His employees mainly do all the work, but every once in a while Mocha needs to get his hands dirty with a bit of menial labor - something he obviously abhors. But for the most part, this pretty kitty lives a mellow life, free of stress. If any problems arise, he’s confident daddy’s money can solve it. How else do problems even get solved?

Personality: Catty, spoiled, bratty, very lazy, arrogant, childish. Very flamboyant. Excessively vain and sassy. Charming and charismatic, tends to use his good looks to his advantage. Acts very cutesy around people in order to receive gifts and preferential treatment. Frequently fishes for compliments during conversation. Whiny when he doesn’t get what he wants. Lacks any kind of self-awareness. Loves to be praised and admired. Greedy, gluttonous. Always tries to get others to do things for him. Ignorant, aloof, ditzy.

Quirks: Loves being pet anywhere on his body. Absolutely loves milk, it’s his favorite thing in the world - he drinks it everyday. Extremely embarrassed of his previous weight issues, becomes whiny and rude if it’s brought up. Helpless without people to aide him, has no idea what to do if his money can’t fix the problem. Takes a long time each day to groom himself, often showing up ‘fashionably late’ even to work.

Goal: Enjoy his milk. Avoid actual work. Be admired.

Relationships -

Sapphire Soroush - Mocha’s foreigner mother. She is very gullible but caring, especially to her family. She is always eager to spoil and serve her family and whatever company they bring. Though Amaan and Mocha love Sapphire, they often ask a lot of her and take her for granted. Sapphire is not her original name, it was given to her by Amaan. Sapphire is an anthropomorphic cat beastkin.

Amaan Soroush - Mocha’s haughty, arrogant father. Has a close relationship with Mocha, always happy to shower his son in his hard-earned riches. Has a reputation for his rude behavior and superiority complex, which have somewhat rubbed off on his son. The only person he seems to value is Mocha- perhaps that’s why Mocha is so spoiled.
