- Being looked down on
- A messy appearance
- 'Shit movies' as he puts it
Strengths ►
- Due to living in a rather secluded, backwoods mansion as a boy, Viktor grew up around guns, and is an amazing marksmen. Hey, when you've got math homework to procrastinate on and your dad left the gun room's door unlocked... The neighbor's goat gets shot. Life happens.
- His sometimes charismatic personality helps him sway other's into doing his bidding, and this has helped him many a time in the past.
- Willing to tear close to anyone down to get what he wants, no matter who it is. Vladislav has very few social limitations, and he will break them if they stand in his way.
- Pride - with Viktor's massive pride, he makes his word dependable, least, in his mind, he fail at being a proper man and the other's around him that depend on him.
Weaknesses ►
- Self-absorbance - Viktor really DOES think that he, and the people he deems worthy (which isn't alot of people, and even then, is rather controlling over the ones he likes) enough to be around him for long periods of time are the only things that matters. He cares nothing for others unless he sees a bit of himself in them, and could sincerely be classified as a narcissist.
- Poor health - due to his poor eating habits (really, the only healthy thing the man eats is raspberries) and his heavy drinking, Viktor is in rather poor health -- the only thing that keeps him from getting a beer belly is from the constant exorcise he enforces on himself.
- pride - His pride is really Viktor's double-edged sword, as, although it drives him to succeed, it also makes him utterly refuse to accept help of any kind.
- Greed - To put it simply; Viktor is like a like an appetite -- if he stops taking he dies.
Dreams ►
- To have a family of some sort one day -- or an heir, legit or not. This is mostly due to his status as a wealthy, but observant and ever-thinking man - he's seen many a children be passed up from their chuck of their deceased father's (or mother's) inheritance, and it seems entirely unfair to him. That, and he rather likes children, so much so that Viktor has been debating adoption.
- To go on vacation - Never, ever, once in his life has Viktor allowed himself something like a vacation. Well, except that one time in Vegas, where, when he woke up from a drunken night he ended up in Paris with ...several hookers in his bed... somehow...
- Reach the top of the social latter and be praised by his upper-crust peers - Although his family was once rich, and respected, due to an incident with a she-werewolf a few decades back, the family was in a poor social standing, and with little chances to invest. However, this changed now that Viktor has taken the lead in the family business. And with his 'rough'n'tumble' personality and appearance, Viktor has managed to sway most of the more fluttery noble women (and their husbands) to fund/aide several of the family's (formally failing) companies and stocks. However, Viktor has a long way to go in the upper-crust's social circle in order to become respected again.
- To re-establish ties with his more estranged family members - due to his personality and father's equally nasty demeanor, Viktor barely speaks with the rest of the family. However, he wishes to change this, and often writes to his cousins. Results vary.
Fears ►
- Dying young - his father and brother having passed away rather young, Viktor can't help but have the nagging fear that he's next in line for a cruise on the Styx. And he sure as hell don't want that boat ride.
- Being forgotten or hated when he IS dead - Since he's grouchy, mean, and rather crude to 70% of the people and creatures Viktor comes into contact with, he has this fear that no one will miss him when he's gone.
- Being used for his money - yes, he is a bit of a hypocrite for wanting and using people for their money and connections, but he knows how much it hurts, and wishes to never be hurt in that way.
- Not being allowed to eat raspberries at least once a day - yes, i am serious. Viktor is obsessed with the tiny berries and will do literally anything for them.
Personality ►
Viktor is a grouchy, and sometimes militant-minded man with too much pride for his own good. Head strong and determined, nothing stands in his way for long, and if it does, he WILL eventually tear it down -- that's a damn promise. Viktor has a high sense of self-preservation and self-fulfillment, which often leads to him using and manipulating people to get what he wants and sometimes, what he thinks he needs. However, this does not, and usually doesn't come out with his favor in mind -- his crude and selfish personality has earned him alot of enemies in his social class along with very little friends for his part. However, this does not mean that he is rude all of the time, and to everyone he meets -- Viktor can actually be rather generous and caring toward the people (and sometimes even creatures) he takes under his wing.
A bit of a closet metrosexual, Viktor's tastes are rather...questionable. He goes for anything flashy and sometimes, gaudy, however, this shows up more so in his 'pets' and home then in his actual wardrobe, often thinking of things he should wear as a business man. Work comes before play, in his mind, but before anything comes family -- even if his family is rather fractured. A man of many wants and vices, Viktor is not the kindest or nicest person around -- his behavior almost bordering on socially awkward -- but he does not mean direct ill will. That is, unless you're on his shitlist, in which case -- you are in the direct path of his social and mind games. Well. Most of the time. A witty, well-read, and sarcastic man, Viktor tends to come off as a loner, and indeed he is -- he prefers to read or paint, doing solitary activities then interact with people, and so, he tends to see the majority of the population as pawns or leeches to some extent or another.
History ►
Viktor was born to a wealthy, old-money, but socially marked family of Serbian decent. His family owning several firms and shares of small businesses, they did moderately well, although steadily declining thanks to social stigma that was associated with his family. This came from an incident concerning his grandfather and a she-werewolf - more specifically, his grandfather engaging in lewd activities with the werewolf that eventually was found out by the public, causing a massive uproar that such a respected individual would commit such a filthy sin. This caused many of the family's investors and brokers to withdraw, sending them into steady decline and causing Viktor's own father to become resentful and indigent to most other people -- only marrying out of necessity, not love. And therefore, Viktor was born into a stress ridden, and cold household.
However, his childhood was not a particularly unhappy one -- he got everything he asked for, and his mother was a warm and caring individual - however, she passed away when he was about ten years old due to a bad case of hypothermia. And although he was homeschooled and taught survival training by his uncle (who was in the army at the time, and spent much time with the boy), he was rather confident and at peace with other children. Though he did not knowing how to deal with the immaturity level of some of them, as Viktor was taught at a young age to grow up and be polite to everyone, even if you do not like them. This caused him to be more withdrawn to other's his age, often clinging to his uncle and father's more rough crowd. However, Viktor's father had a distaste for him, and pushed him constantly to succeed, even through his tender childhood years.
His adolescents was more or less the same, as his early childhood. The one change is, however is that his father's cold behavior soon changed to outright harshness, and basically dangled his 'love' over Viktor in order to drive him to succeed and be a proper gentlemen. The added stress caused Viktor to turn to booze, which, although his grades did not suffer, did turn into mild abuse -- and as the time for him to go to collage rolled around, Viktor started to become wilder. Eventually, however, as soon as he finished his bachelor's degree, Viktor was shipped off to serve in the military. And, although he never saw active serve, by his mid twenties Viktor was alot more disciplined and hardworking then he was before he left home. However, even after a few years of running the family business with his father, Viktor could tell that the old man's methods were out-dated. The two constantly fought over company plans and family movements, and, eventually, the older man passed away when Viktor was 38. But by that time, however, Viktor was already head of the family for three years, though not making big changes until the old man passed away.
And after that, although he did slip into his old drinking and womanizing ways, Viktor had a goal now; to rebuild the family. And during this time and up until the present, Viktor has been dedicated to his 'family' (however loose it is), and to the expansion and success of his companies and his personal wealth.
Monster, how should I feel? Creatures lie here, looking through the window…
Roleplay Sample ►
A gentle stroke of the brush, yes, that was it -- just a little more pink around the lids... thought Viktor as he studied his latest little creation. It was his secretary -- he figured, since the poor woman put up with his crap the rest of the year, he might as well do something nice. A homemade painting and a little bonus would do, wouldn't it? Yet, Viktor feared it wouldn't be done in time -- there was just something so OFF about it. yet he couldn't put his finger on it. Was it the lips, or the eyes...? Perhaps he should try fixing both!
With a small flick of his wrist, and a gentle swishing motion, the ruby red lips were turned into a softer, more earthy shade, and the eyelashes where slightly, if only slightly lessened in thickness. A sigh; perhaps he should just give up for the day. Get a drink and finish that Lewis book that he had started a month ago. However, his fingers and hands itched for draw or paint; to do something with his hands. Another soft sigh, and he decided that yes, that portrait was good enough -- it's not like that silly little airhead knew much about art anyways, and would think it was the best thing ever despite the flaws that Viktor's combing eyes spotted.
"And now, for booze!" he almost sang, covering his excess paint and cleaning out his brushes, and hoped the paint will dry soon. Ohohoho, there was even that new bottle that just came in from Moldova -- it was supposed to be of a very good stalk too! Ohhhh damn, this would be a good night, even if it was void of a 'lady-friend'.
