♡KitKat♡

His lore goes as follows; after college he gets a GF who he marries later in life, does absolutely nothing to contribute around the house, divorce happens and he moves in with Calensk.

Because he's the favorite child of the two and Calensk kind of needs him to keep his job, Cal isn't able to kick him out or threaten to do so. Dominik knows this and usually acts like he holds some authority over his older brother.

But Dominik isn't a complete asshole. He appreciates what his brother does for him and is very accepting of his relationship with Alexie

Manya is fascinated by Vonel to a point it's become an obsession, she wants him all to herself but doesn't love or hate him, she just wants to push him to his limits and break him, just wanting to see what would happen.

She's learned a lot about his personal life, from what audit he did that day to where he lives and who he speaks to. Vonel has made many attempts to stop her but she keeps coming back and sending dead woodland creatures to his house on weekends

Dr. Miu (She/Her and He/Him)

Miu is a mad scientist who lives in her underground lair, her eye color is a side effect of experimentation she did on herself, one which has also given her the ability to grow a giant mouth on her stomach at will along with growing spiked vines from her back. She's not only dangerous but incredibly smart to a point where it becomes a little creepy.

Babii (She/Her)

Babii is a shut-in phone addict who could be best described as braindead. She's got a constant nosebleed and drools alot. Because of her phone addiction she can't function much without it and probably doesn't understand half of the english dictionary anymore.

Cerulean (She/Her)

Cerulean is, well, a crybaby. She's afraid of everything and has the emotional stability of a card tower. The constant flow of tears not only effected the look of her eyes but gave her once brown hair a blue tone.

Forsaken (He/Him)

Forsaken is a business man who thinks too highly of himself, often referring himself as "Greyson but better" and gives his money to his siblings for whatever they do in their lives. Despite his high and mighty attitude, he really does look up to his father and hopes that he can be a pocket dimension host like him someday.

Boss (He/Him)

Boss is Forsaken's housemate who's a tryhard in the gaming world, he's always giving it his all and is usually raging at the usual troubles a gamer can have. His hands are usually bandaged because of this bad habit and he probably has a lot of money spent more on repairs than his games.

Nerine (She/Her)

Nerine is the only sibling that's a different age, she's 3 years older than the others and spends her time travelling the world and being with nature, that being mentioned, she left home at age 14 to go and live her own life. Maybe some day she'll reunite with her siblings. Other than the fact that she's gone all the time, not much is really known about her.

Alexie: Hello there, pleased to see one of you Paradizna fellows around here! I'm Alexie, Chief of Border Security!

Mykhaylo: Ah- H-Hello, I am from the MOI's Paradizna Division. Here's my information, I-I am here to meet with Mr. Vonel?

Alexie: [Alexie looks over his MOI badge] Nice to meet you, Miss Smirnoy! Right this way and I'll lead you to him! Oh, have I mentioned that you remind me of a friend I know?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alexie: Hello, Hello! You must be the new inspector, I'm so happy to meet you!!

Olek: Hey There, Nice to meet you too. I'm Olek.

Alexie: I'm Alexie! The chief of security! We'll do everything we can to keep you safe! You know, my best friend used to work here before you, so I'll be able to guide you through things with what he taught me!

Olek: Okay. you are very energetic..

Alexie: Did you say something?

I got into Papers, Please a few days prior to his creation, thanks to my friends Chief and Swanno!

Now for the man himself, Alexie wasn't green at first, nor was he as kind as he is 2day

This was his rough draft in a way, I was just mixing in ideas and seeing what sticked. What hasn't changed is his nationality, Alexie is both Russian and German!

The reason why I made him red at first was because his original plot was that he would be The Man in Red, a head guard that would prove to be trouble for the EZIC and you would have to make the choice of killing him for the order or sparing him for the sake of friendship.

But overtime I got more attached to him and just made him the guard that stands with Calensk on the outer walls, I changed his color palette to fit more into the Paper's, Please artstyle!

This is also where I realized he and Dimitri looked a bit similar and decided to go with it as a gag they have where people confuse them with eachother.

Then there's Milky-way! Alexie's rescue cat! He probably isn't exactly supposed to have a cat in his house but he takes the risk of getting kicked out for this lil guy!

Now I'm not gonna say much else bc I don't wanna spoil anything for Hope or Glory, but if you got any more questions ab him feel free 2 ask away!!

Thanks 4 readin and happy birthday 2 my very special boy :3

It was after work hours and Alexie had gotten his recent paperwork done faster than usual. He was just about to head back home when he was approached by his two co-worker's, Dimitri and Vonel.

"Hey, Alexie!" Dimitri called. "Do you want to join me and Vonel for dinner? I found this new place near Altan."

Alexie politely declined while he got on his boots. "Sorry, I can't. I got lots of work to do this week!" He smiled as he thought about his projects back home. Vonel then inquired; "What do you mean? You've been on track with work and, last I heard, you called off some of the border shifts this week."

Alexie answered with a smile. "Not that work, Von. I mean prepping things for the holidays! It's almost Christmas and I need to pick up the pace!"

"Ah, I see. Well, we wish you luck on whatever you're working on." Vonel replied. Alexie waved them goodbye as he ran back home. when he got back, Alexie dressed into his casual clothes but with a change of a leather apron and woodworking gloves. "Alright. I just got Inspector's family gifts, then I can get to wrapping!" He looked over at his paint-encrusted desk, which at the moment was occupied by his tool box and a pile of various wooden objects. His current work was a little wooden car, a gift for the inspector's son (who Alexie thought of as his own nephew.)

Alexie sat at the desk and began sanding down the car's wheels. he was careful to make them extra smooth so the kid wouldn't get splinters. When he was done with that it was onto painting. "Now, what color did he like again?" Alexie muttered to himself as he opened his drawer and brought out a notepad. He flipped the pages to a small list that contained bits of information about his friend's recent interests. he then spot the things he wrote down for Inspector's son, he liked toy cars, drawing, and the color blue.

"Ah, Perfect!" He beamed, putting his notepad back down and got a small paint bucket from his closet. Alexie was great at a lot of art forms but what he excelled in the most was painting. He's been working with such things since he was in high school and has always been sharpening his skills whenever he could. As he began to paint the toy, he couldn't help but grin, thinking about how happy the kid was going to be once he got this gift.

It was now Christmas Day, early in the morning and Alexie was especially excited. he had gotten all the gifts for his friends done the day before, each decorated beautifully and different so he wouldn't mix up any of them! Alexie got all of them into a red bag as he dressed up, ready to go spread some Christmas cheer!

First up were his two youthful friends, Elisa and Sergiu! Alexie knocked on their front door and awaited for an answer. when Elisa greeted him, she was surprised when he handed her two gifts for her and her lover. Elisa had gotten a cast-iron pan along with a set of handmade spatulas and ladles, Alexie choose this since she was getting into cooking lately. Sergiu was gifted a scarf and some gloves, both handmade by Alexie himself. it also came with a note that said; "Since I've always seen you cold during work, I wanted to help you bundle up with these!" Next up was Dimitri and Vonel. Since he knew they were probably out together, he dropped off his gifts in their mail and moved along. their gifts were some fancy wine glasses and a bottle of fine aged wine (which he got from Impor a few months back) to go with.

Now was time for the big delivery, Inspector's house! Alexie walked up to the front door and knocked a little loudly, as he could tell the house was noisy today. after a bit of waiting, Inspector answered joyfully. "Oh, Alexie! Didn't think you'd be here buddy!" The two embraced each other with a quick hug and pat on the back. Alexie then replied "Yeah, I'm just here to drop off a few things and I'll be heading on my way!"

Inspector welcomed his friend in, Alexie was greeted by many hugs and his excited little nephew. when everything settled, Alexie had finally shown what he was here for; the gifts he made. "Oh, Alexie, You didn't have to go through all this trouble!" Inspector's wife said sheepishly, Alexie reassured her while handing the gifts out to everyone. "It's not a big deal, besides I love to spread a little joy every now and then!"

The Inspector's son, Arseni, was opening his gift. he jumped with joy when he held the little blue car in his hands, he ran to his uncle and hugged his leg. "Thanks, Uncle Alexie! I love it!!" Alexie was glad that he enjoyed his gift, he gave the kid a pat on the head before Arseni left to the living room to play with his new toy. Inspector then asked; "Do you want to join me and my family for dinner? we made a lot of food thanks to the new holiday bonus." Alexie, after a bit of consideration, decided to stay for a little while.

When the clock hit 7, Alexie was off again. He ran to his next destination as he had lost track at time with the Inspector. He needed to make one last stop at Calensk's place. He slipped and tripped many times but he finally got there with the gift still in perfect condition. he knocked lazily, a bit out of breath from all the traveling he did around the streets today. Calensk wasn't the one to answer the door, instead it was a man who looked similar to his friend. Alexie looked up as the man asked, filled with confusion; "Uhh.. Do you need anything?"

Right. Alexie forgot that Calensk was living with his brother. He answered as he straightened his back. "Oh, I'm here for Calensk, I believe he lives here?" The man responded. "Oh, Hang on, I'll go call him for you."

He ran back inside and yelled. "HEY CAL! YOU GOT A GUEST!!" Alexie could hear the annoyed shout back; "STOP FUCKIN' YELLING, DOMINIK, I CAN HEAR YOU JUST FINE!" Alexie was a bit startled when Dominik suddenly poked his head back out the door. "He should be heading down now."

Soon enough, Calensk had answered the door. "Oh, Alexie. Sorry about that, my brother seems to not care for indoor voices." Alexie waved away his apology. "Don't worry about it! besides," Alexie paused as he took the gift out of his bag. "-I got you a little something!" Calensk, like everyone else Alexie had gotten a gift for, was pleasantly surprised. He opened his gift to see that it was a toolbox, colored a dull teal, inside was screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers and many other hardware. Alexie then spoke up, turning his gaze as he got a bit bashful. "I-I know that you've been working on that car project of yours for a while now, so I wanted to give you something to help you out, even just a little.."

Calensk was admiring them, he knew only Alexie would come up with something so thoughtful. He looked up at his boss while shutting the toolbox, giving a small smile. "Thank you Alexie. This means a lot to me." Alexie nodded and was about to leave until Calensk took his hand. "Wait- You're not too busy this evening, are you?" The kind man thought for a moment before answering; "No, I was just gonna head home for the day. Was there anything you needed?"

Calensk shook his head. "No, I just was wondering if you'd like to stay for the night." Alexie took a moment to process his request, then his face got red. "Oh! Well, I uh, could spend the night here, I-If that's what you want." Cal smiled again, he always loved how flustered he gets. "Then come on in, I'll get us some drinks." The two walked inside as snowflakes began to fall outside. today was truly Alexie's best Christmas yet. ♡

Writers Note ♡◇♡

This was meant to be written and uploaded on Christmas but things didn't work out, tried New Years and I was still late. But hey, better late than never right?

I wanted to try something new with this one, went easier on myself with timing, tried to make it more clear who was talking and overall just tried to make it shorter since I seemed to be hard on myself with how long a fic could be, I'll test this out more often so hopefully I can get more done with my project (no promises)
