FAMILY LIFE:  the eldest child of bollywood superstars viaan and riya acharya, the pressure on viknan started young. his first moments were plastered across magazines and news reels, millions of people knew his name before he did. his parents did at least try, at first. sure, their work and the fame always came first, but they always made sure that at least one of them made it to the big events in his life. {tw: homophobia} when he was twelve, he was photographed kissing a boy by a tabloid reporter, and suddenly his first kiss was plastered everywhere and his parents were shipping their disgraced son off to boarding school in england. {end tw} he almost never saw them after that, having to learn about his father’s affair and second family with an american woman from the gossip of the boys at his school. he immediately reached out to his newfound siblings, determined to protect them from the world that had ripped his family apart.

PRE-SUNHOLLOW: despite his family’s money and fame in their corner of the world, boarding school was not easy, so as soon as he graduated, he took off to new york city to enroll in university. gifted with a love of learning and the privilege that came in the form of guilty parents’ bank accounts, he threw himself into his schooling. he couldn’t tell you much of his new york life, as is life had been entirely consumed by two things. marine biology and her. if you ask viknan what his greatest accomplishment in his life is, there would be no hesitation in admitting it would be the fact that natalie once loved him, even if for a moment. he loved her with every part of himself, no matter how difficult it was sometimes. she didn’t make loving her easy, but he would have done anything for her. he still would. and, of course, since natalie was a charming, beautiful woman, his parents loved her. suddenly their family was reunited and the pressure was on for vik to propose. so he did. and they planned a huge, beautiful multi-faith wedding. he cried as she walked down the aisle, and again as she left him standing there in stunned silence as she ran from their union. he couldn’t even blame her. he wished he could run too.

SINCE MOVING TO TOWN: once he had cleaned the messes caused by the very public explosion of his relationship, he poured himself back into school. he completed his doctorate and accepted a job in sunhollow. it was the perfect city for him, right on the water and not somewhere he’d likely be recognized. not that he ever tried to hide his identity. it was the arrangement he’d made with his parents. he’d visit occasionally and play the perfect son a couple of times a year, and in return, they left him alone and made sure his bank account never ran low. while the money mostly sits untouched, viknan will often dip into it to help the community he’s come to love. he is an anonymous patron of the aquarium at which he works, and is one of their largest donors. now he is just trying to live his life and be as normal as possible.

DREAMS & GOALS: viknan wants one thing in his life and one thing only. to settle down with the love of his life and enjoy the quiet life he’s built for himself. while he still dreams of having natalie back in his life, he realizes now that likely will never happen. he is trying to move on, but finds it difficult to let people in. aside from this, he’s accomplished everything he wanted to in life, and is now trying to find something new to explore.
