APPEARANCE

Ivan stands at a height of 6’2’’, with a lanky body type. He slouches all the time, giving him a rather careless appearance about him. His hair is a blazing, unnatural red with emerald green eyes.

He’s always seen with something in his mouth, whether it be a cigarette or a toothpick. His clothing usually consists of dark colours such as shades of red, grey and black. They’re casual, but still have a somewhat formal appearance to them depending on what he wears. Accessories include black combat boots and leather fingerless gloves to match. What he brings along with him are light and portable for travel.

There is always a smile on Ivan’s face, small or large, it’s there. Some people like it, thinking he is a easy going guy that can become a quick friend and others find it frustrating, thinking he finds everything a joke. The second opinion would be more accurate; Ivan takes more situations very light hearted. Almost views life like a movie, where nothing is permanent and nothing will truly affect him. So, he is always seen with a sly smile and something devious in his eyes, like he’s scheming up to know good.

PERSONALITY

Ivan has a natural born talent to act, which makes him a very dangerous person to be around. It would take another talented actor to see his ways, how he smiles and laughs when he doesn’t mean it and when he looks concerned when he could really not give a damn about anything. He’s always in some kind of role that is never his own, playing up the situation and the people around him just to see what would happen next. It’s this that makes Ivan unpredictable and more or less confusing to those around him.

As said earlier, Ivan is carless and can even be described as reckless. It seems he could care less about putting himself in danger. His recklessness in a way is the reason why he is so successful in the things in pursue in, because he isn’t afraid to be defeated.

People have said they think Ivan may have a some kind of disorder. He says things most people would keep to themselves and makes comments that may hurt someone without knowing or caring. Some would say it comes with the bold and fearless personality he has, others would say he is just a blunt, callous ass.

In conclusion, Ivan is a confusing person and is often referred as a Cheshire in human form. He’s more or less like a puzzle you have to put together, and when you do, the picture becomes very clear for the person to see just who exactly he is.

HISTORY

Ivan was born and raised on the streets of Goldenrod, taken under the wing of his eldest brother along with his other brother. Their father didn’t come around often, in fact, he never did, though Ivan does have a faint image of him in his head while his mother was a drug addict. When she OD’d, she passed away, leaving her children to fend for themselves on the street.

His brother did everything he could to make sure they all stayed together, even if it meant taking part in illegal operations on the street. Ivan was taught to be tough, to not let anyone take advantage of them and to instead do the same. It was a dog eat dog world, which Ivan learned the hard when when his eldest brother, the man who was more like a father to him then his own father ever was, was shot and killed during a drug trade. His small family of now two was devastated and left with no place to go or no one to turn to.

The streets were still their home until one day his remaining brother turned around and told Ivan he couldn’t live this life anymore. A life that always involved running from others, whether it be the police of gang members. A life where you couldn’t go to sleep without wondering if you were going to wake up in the morning. It wasn’t the life for him and it was something he realized when he was offered a roof over his head and a job until he could get off his own head. When he offered Ivan to come with him, Ivan refused and stormed away, never seeing his brother again.

Ivan left the city after that and drifted from place to place, staying as long as possible until he ran out of resources and had to keep moving again. While he was traveling he experienced his own taste of addiction to drugs and alcohol until he OD’d and was sent to a hospital. He stayed there until he recovered and then was sent to a rehab clinic until he was deemed ‘clean’ before being released. He hasn’t touched drugs since, but has and still gets cravings for them. He’s continued his travels, not really searching for something yet not wandering around aimlessly either.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE

“No, I wasn’t familiar with the term,” He said, filling the silence that had formed between them after she spoke. It’d given him enough time to control his tone, but there was still a clear sound of frustration in it. “I suppose you’re replaceable, though, to your people, am I correct? Or you wouldn’t be in this situation with a possible murderer,” He then shook his head and turned his feet to walk down the side of the building without any warning. “I hate to waste your time, but until I can seen as an equal with your Aecus, I don’t want anything to play this game of telephone. Have yourself a good night.”

He took his hands out of his pockets and began to march back in the direction where his vehicle would be waiting for him. What a shame, he thought, Looks like I’m just dealing with another pair of jokers yet again.. As far as he was concerned, their relationship was over unless he would get some serious answers. Talking with the messenger wasn’t going to fly with him very well. It’s all just been one big joke.

ooc; taken from root, just a bit from one really long post. Hope it’s okay.
