<strong>Player Name:</strong>Tokyorose627<br/><br/><strong>Character Name/Identity:</strong>Koschei, Peter Romanov (Alias)<br/><br/><strong>Tale of Origin:</strong>Koschei the Deathless<br/><br/>Personality: Koschei can seem like a cold and calculating individual, serious looking and someone that would look as if they would not wished to be bothered with at any moment. He's calculating and observing, but usually is quiet unless otherwise told to speak, or has something on his mind. He doesn't like when others dance around their questions, and usually speaks straight forwards in order to get whatever someone wants from him out of their mouths so he can give them an answer or not. However, despite him being in such a way, Koschei does have humanity still left in him. He can still feel hope, empathy, sorrow, happiness, and even love, but such feelings had never been given to him by his parents, and as a result, such feelings dwindle away inside him, swallowed by the darkness of his parents abuse, and his own actions against them, that he has been through.<br/><br/><strong>Backstory:</strong>Koschei's life growing up was anything but happy. Born to a wealthy mother and father that were both versed in magic, Koschei was equally bound by family tradition to take on the responsibilities of learning the craft like they had. He originally didn't want to, but from the strict teachings of his parents, which even include beatings or starvation, Koschei was forced into the family tradition of learning the magical arts, unwillingly. Lessons were hard for Koschei, as he could tell that his parents wanted him to become a great wizard and magic user, going to extremes to make sure he would get spells and incantations down correctly. Beating him, verbally abusing him, even going so far as to not let him eat or sleep until they were satisfied, Koschei kept going despite what he was put through, his mind starting to warp tremendously down a dark path of wanting revenge, his thoughts aiming towards his parents and wanting nothing more then to make them stop; permanently. His childhood was soon taken from him, and as he grew older, his magic improved like his parents had wanted. Becoming a well versed magic user himself, he was made to use spells and magic for others to get money for his parents, who had squandered their wealth for frivolous purposes, leaving them with almost nothing. Night after night, day after day, Koschei would spend his time being forced to do work for his parents, until at the age of a young man, a dream had given him the inspiration to enact his revenge, a voice in his nightmares telling him to finally take what he wanted.<br/><br/>While they slept on night, Koschei took his magic out on his parents, using the darkest of arts to torture them for hours on end, to make them suffer for what they had put him through, and then ended their lives as soon as his revenge had been finished. Burning their bodies, Koschei was free to do what he wished, but the damage form his parents had been done. Having not felt one ounce of love or trust from his family, Koschei began to spend his life doing terrible things just as his parents had, from stealing coin and jewels, to killing bandits and other filth that dared get in his way to try to kill him. Escaping death every time from people who tried to oppose him, and killing anyone who tried to end his life, he was given the title "Koschei the Deathless", for no warrior or hero had been able to kill the man. Even the heoric Ivan from his home of Russia had come to kill him after Koschei dare kidnap his wife, however the Hero had died from underestimating Koschei's abilities, and after, killed Ivan's friends, sisters, and even his wife soon after, so none would dare try to stop him.<br/><br/>Stories of what he had done had become stories to other, unable to comprehend that such a man could not be killed by some lone hero. Described in stories to be a ugly, disgusting vile man, Koschei lets the stories wonder villages and cities, now reveling in such recognition at the fact that people are afraid of his power and what he has done. Only the bravest would come to find him, and only the most idiotic of people would come to ask for his services, yet he still travels the world for some form of purpose.<br/><br/>However, despite everything that had happened, in the back of Koschei's mind, he wonders why he had become such a vile person, despite his morals still remaining; he has killed others that have gotten in his way, yet he does not harm women or children, and if a sickly person were to wander on his doorstep, he would take them in to give them medicine and rest until they had fully recovered. He secretly longs for companionship, but the darkness has warped his mind for far too long; only someone of extreme kindness could help his poor soul see the light in things, rather then darkness.<br/><br/><strong>Orientation:</strong>Heterosexual<br/><br/><strong>Appearance: </strong>Koschei, unlike the stories and tales told of him, is a handsome young man, with short blonde hair, and with piercing ocean blue eyes. Not wanting to show his face to people that he does not know or trust, he wears a long black cloak with a hood, as well as a mask made of pure metal carved in the shape of a skull, with holes for his eyes; the outfit itself is what gave him the title, "Koschei the Deathless", and "The Dark One". Along his right forearm is an inked mark of a skull releasing a serpent from it's mouth, the marking Koschei's family crest given to him by his father. Made by magic, it reminds Koschei of his family and his beginnings, and now uses it on his victims as a calling card for others that wish to kill him, even going so far as to put the mark on others he has killed.<br/><br/>(https://images.pottermore.com/bxd3o8b291gf/2EykcsjRssY8aiKCgGgO2U/67c28c246b5c7f146f755d8bd225d0e4/DracoMalfoy_WB_F8_DracoMalfoyPromoShot_Promo_100615_Port.jpg?w=1200)<br/>
