⟨ CHOI CHANHEE. CIS MALE. HE/HIM. ⟩ though the mist might prevent some from seeing it, SACHA BABICHEV is actually a descendent of H A D E S. it’s still a question of whether or not the TWENTY-ONE year old BUSINESS MAJOR from ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA has taken after their godly parent completely, but the demigod is still known to be quite CHARMING & HOT-HEADED.
alright let’s get this sacha party started!
sacha’s story really begins two generations in the past
his grandfather had an airplane parts business that he started with his partner alexi babichev
the babichev and the kim’s were both incredibly close
the kim’s had a daughter, haerim kim, and the babichev’s were never able to conceive, so both families doted on haerim
when young haerim was only eight years old, the kim’s passed away in a car accident leaving haerim in the babichev’s care
they took her in with heavy hearts but raised her to the upmost of their ability as their only daughter in their home in st. petersburg
when haerim graduated high school, she decided to go back to south korea for university
when she was twenty she came back to st. petersburg with her tail between her legs and a positive pregnancy test
she refused to talk about who the father was, and became more and more irate the further her pregnancy went along
when she finally gave birth, haerim packed her bags, left a note to her adoptive parents, then fled the hospital never to be seen again
so now the babichev’s were left with this baby they didn’t prepare for and the loss of their only daughter
so, the babichev’s adopted the abandoned child and dubbed him sacha, though the pain of losing haerim never left them
sacha was a lonely child. his adoptive parents were older and distant, and he spends most of the time locked up in their mansion far outside of the city
it’s one of the groundskeeper that gets sacha into hockey
hockey quickly became an escape for sacha, and he was good, like professional levels of good
he spends more time traveling around europe competing than he does back in russia
he enjoys it, enjoys his teammates, and wants to make a career out of it
but when sacha’s eleven, he receives two presents: one a letter from his mother, and one an ornate sword
the letter explains everything about his father. hades, the god of the underworld, who charmed his mother with his sad eyes and lovely words. but she didn’t want a child who would forever be doomed to a life of struggle as the son of a god, so she left him in the hands of real parents
the sword is clearly from his father, all dark metal and pulsing with some unknown energy. it’s an obvious claim
after this sacha becomes angry. angry for being abandoned, angry for his fate, angry for his father being such a disgraced god
he starts fighting his teammates more, getting in trouble on the ice more
he’s a talented player, but his teams start losing faith in him
he plays in different leagues in different teams all throughout his life until finally he’s sick of being the way he is
he decides to enroll in eonia when he’s twenty to try to connect with other demigods and have a fresh start, away from all of the anger and pain
he’s a business major because he knows his adoptive father wants him to take over the family company, and he plays on eonia’s hockey team to try to find a team he can feel accepted by
now sacha is just trying his best, though he still makes human connections in the most destructive of ways (cough cough man slut)
