Post by Vladimir Stukov on Jun 13, 2008 6:34:32 GMT 1
Name: Vladimir Stukov.
Nationality: Russian-American.
Ethnicity: Caucasian.
Attended School: The Paragon Institute.
Age: 16 – Sophomore.
Weight: 163 pounds.
Height: 5’9”
Appearance: This is in two parts, your body and your cosmetic appearance:
Body: Thin, wirey. Vladimir posesses a natural strength, rather than one gained through extensive training. As such, his muscles, while still easily visible, are hardly large or overly developed. His back is covered in long, thin scars, to the point where several overlap. Vladimir’s fingernails and canine teeth have been filed into a much sharper form, and are maintained weekly by his guardian.
Cosmetic: Typically dressed in very plain clothing. T-shirt, jeans, sneakers. Vladimir prefers to wear shorts and muscle shirts, as he hates the feel of fabric on his skin, however he is trained to obey his guardian.
Eye color: Dark green.
Hair: Naturally black. Almost always dishevelled and messy, hanging loosely over his face. Reaches his shoulders.
Habits: Incredibly sharp nails and teeth, which are also quite strong. Has a very scratchy and haggard-sounding voice, due to its lack of use during his developing years.
Other Information
Personality: Very aggressive and hot-tempered. Vladimir has no concept of self-control or turning the other cheek, and as such, reacts poorly to any sort of teasing or bullying. When faced with conflict, he has been known to go much too far, attacking his opponent well after they cannot defend themselves. However, this is not to say that Vladimir is a particularly evil person, as quite frankly he doesn’t know any better. His upbringing has taught him that if he were to allow his enemy the ability to move after a fight, then it will hurt him afterwards.
On another note, his lifestyle has forced him to be completely dependant on others to take care of him. Vladimir’s mentality is very close to that of a small child, and as such, he has been known to latch onto people he comes into contact with; becoming very protective and submissive towards them. This behaviour can seem random at times, and those who have studied Vladimir have sometimes theorized that he bases it on his superior sense of smell.
Hobbies: Vladimir does not have any hobbies or interests, per se, although he does enjoy experiencing new things.
Extracurricular: None.
Important Details
History:
Dimitri and Helen Stukov had always been deeply in love. From the very first moment they had met in high school, there was a special connection between the two, one that could not be broken by anything else in the world. When Helen lost her job, Dimitri stuck by her, working extra shifts at the steel factory in order for the two of them to get by, although admittedly, they were barely able to. As with most couples, their love took on a physical form from time to time, and eventually, the product of their union was born; Vladimir. The infant’s birth was an incredible strain on the entire family, as Helen’s malnourished body fell ill immediately after her son’s birth, and Dimitri struggled to both feed the family and pay for her medication. What meager funds the family had saved up were quickly disappearing, and it seemed that Dimitri would need to make a choice; pay for his wife’s medication, or feed his only son.
And so, six-months old Vladimir Stukov found himself placed within the interior of a dumpster at four A.M. in a back alley of the city of Tver, left to perish in the wee hours of the morning sun. As fate would have it, Dimitri had abandoned his son in the very alley a homeless man had chosen to forage in that morning, and upon discovering the child, he brought it to a nearby shelter. Vladimir stayed in the shelter for another twelve months, until at the tender age of one and a half years old, he was adopted by Mr. Dugalle. At first, it seemed as if Vladimir’s luck had finally changed for the better, however this feeling was quickly chased away once he was brought to his room inside Mr. Dugalle’s home. The boy’s room consisted of a chain-link cage, with a pile of straw in the far corner. The boy, barely able to walk, hesitated at the doorway, unsure of his new surroundings, before being pushed in by his new guardian.
The following six years passed as a blur for young Vladimir. His early days had been mostly solitary, the only contact he was given was when food was brought to his cage. Whenever he tried to interact with those who gave him his meals, the boy would be punished, swatted away like a common fly. Soon, Vladimir began to shy away from human contact, eating only when the other person would leave. Mr. Dugalle noticed this fact, however, as it was a behavior that occurred in all the children he brought home from orphanages, and once Vladimir was seven years old, another boy was brought into his cage as well. While the two were similiar in their attitude of non-interaction, the boys were forced into competition, as there was only enough food brought for one of them to survive off of. As the boys grew hungrier, they began to fight over the food when it was brought, tearing and clawing at each other, until finally the stronger boy was victorious.
Now that Vladimir was big enough and strong enough, Mr. Dugalle was prepared to use him for his true purpose. Dugalle’s sole job in life was to adopt and prepare young orphans to fight each other in underground sporting events, entertainment for the rich and twisted. When the children wouldn’t fight, they would be whipped, literally into a frenzy of hate and blood. Only once one child was beaten to the point of near-death would the fight be stopped. Fortunately for Vladimir, he managed to survive this brutal lifestyle for five more years, when finally, his life would change once more.
Dugalle and his charge were running late to their fight, arriving a full half hour after the allotted time. Upon their arrival, Dugalle was shocked to discover several police cars stationed outside of the warehouse, taking several key-customers into custody. Sensing that his time was near, Dugalle took Vladimir with him overseas, fleeing to America.
Despite his best efforts, Dugalle was unable to find a similiar setup to what he had in Russia. There were no underground fights using sponsored children, at least, not to the extent he was used to. In an attempt to better cover his tracks, he began to teach Vladimir the English language, using the same methods the boy had become accustomed to; when he failed, he was whipped. At the age of fifteen, Dugalle deemed the boy fit to attend high school, to further his education in the American way of life, as well as the way normal humans interacted.
Vladimir’s freshman year didn’t quite go as planned, however. The boy was wild, fighting over the littlest incidents with others, and mauling them well beyond what could be considered self-defence. Even with the school system’s tolerance, Vladimir was well on his way to being banned from schools altogether. During a suspension period from school, Dugalle was contacted by school authorities from another board, proposing he send the boy to an institute more suited to Vladimir’s needs.
There, Vladimir would be free to do as he wish, and serve as yet another distraction for San Francisco’s students.
Fighting Style: Pure instinct. Much as his appearance would suggest, Vladimir fights like an animal, using his teeth and nails to draw as much blood from his foe as possible. Seeing a punch from Vladimir is extremely unlikely, as the boy quite simply has no knowledge on how to throw one. Instead, Vladimir relies on grapples, bites, clawing, and kicking to defeat those he is up against.
Strengths: Vladimir has what could be considered an animalistic speed, one that has yet to be matched by any he has come across so far. His unorthodox fighting style can be difficult to predict, especially for one who is used to more conventional opponents. The fact that Vladimir never thinks about his attacks virtually guarantees that he will never hesitate during a fight. Fairly high stamina. When injured, Vladimir becomes much more desperate in his attacks.
Weaknesses: Vladimir’s strength, while decent for his size and stature, hardly compares to any who are larger than him. If an opponent is able to draw out the battle for a length of time, Vladimir will soon appear to be fairly predictable, as he lacks the mental capacity to form a plan or set a trap. As Vladimir is still new to many things, he can be easily distracted, even to the point where he will lose interest in a fight.
