Personality:

Ivan, from a distance, comes off as a burly stoic man who can frighten small children with just a look. Until you speak to him. His normally cheery voice and demeanor tend to confuse people that judge him from his appearance. Ivan does have a dark side and he tends to keep in wrapped up under his cheery facade.

Ivan truly loves his little sister Natalia and doesn't want any harm to come to her. Truth be known, he is very protective over both of his sisters and would put himself in danger to protect them.

Ivan enjoys drinking his vodka and snowboarding. Occasionally at the same time. He gets himself into trouble doing so. When Ivan gets drunk he can get loud and overly friendly. But part of his drunken friendliness, includes provoking a good old fashioned fist fight. Which he enjoys and is always in good fun, to him.
He sometimes wakes up the next day to find that he has lost a friend, though he can never figure out why.

History:

Ivan grew up in a home with two sisters, himself being the middle child. His younger sister always had clung to him, even in the face of his protests. After some years it occurred to him that her affection for him was a bit more than that of a sister for her brother.

And after some time, she had stopped coming around him at all. Which, to him, was good and bad all at the same time. Though he hated the way she felt for him, he did love her and enjoyed spending time with her, when she was trying to act like a stalker.

Ivan had dreams of becoming a professional snowboarder. He had gotten to the prelims of an expo that would ahve acquired him his wish, but during the final round one of the other boarders fell and took him down as well.

Ivan was in the hospital for sometime, broken and lacerated. But that set back didn't stop Ivan from getting back up and continuing to snowboard once he made a full recovery. Though his dreams of a pro career are shot, he is still a good snowboarder and has decided to pass his knowledge onto new boarders.

Roleplay Sample:

Ivan took a step toward the building. It appeared to him that it was hotel part of the resort. He had to report there for check in. He had a new job instructing the students new to snowboarding. They had offered him a job after he had recovered from the wreck that took his professional dreams from him. He sighed and pushed open the door to the building.

Ivan looked around, the warmth hitting his face like a wall. He strode towards the front desk, his snowboard bag slung over his shoulder easily. He leaned over and peered behind the counter, not seeing anyone. And at that moment the bell for service made itself know to him as he was pressing it with his body.

Ivan quickly straightened himself up, not wanting to look like a big idiot already. Nobody saw that. You are ok, Ivan. Da...you are ok.... He thought to himself. Yes, he had this under control. He had to tell himself that.
