#cod rodion

And for fun, the initial sketches which are from an AU we have with @shadowscommand <3 (nikto's not older he's just blonde. yes Krueger looks terrifying wearing normal civilian clothes. and yes rodion is an angel)

Is the peak definition of a CSGO streamer. Literally born with a voice gifted by the angels that is wasted by playing first-person shooter games. Unfortunately, he's really good at CSGO and R6. If someone introduces him to Payday, he'll have a field day with it.

He unironically believes he can handle a Latina baddie based on some action movies he watched. His views on this will slightly changed after meeting one.

Bisexual with a preference towards women. Unfortunately, he does have some internalized homophobia due to his background being an Orthodox Christian and Russia's heavy anti LGBTQ+ laws/views.

Rodion definitely is a middle or youngest child and the only son. This led to him forming a deep bond with his father and even inspired to be like his father. And yes, he was heavily favored by both of his parents growing up.

The reasons for joining the military are generally the respect he has for his father and all the action movies he consumed growing up. The movies that he watched always had a good guy and a bad guy where the good guy wins and gets a good-looking wife. That's quite literally what he wants out of the military. Plus, his father shared stories about him and his platoon, either it being a mission or some stupid thing that none of them are letting go, just only made him dead set on joining the military.

... He's disappointed that most of the time he's doing paperwork instead of kicking ass.

Rodion and Yegor were siblings in a previous life. No duh, but considering my last point about him being the only son within his household. Rodion genuinely looks up to Yegor as sort of an older brother figure, as he quite literally never had such a figure before. However, he'd never admit it.

Can not take anything serious for the life of him, nor can he ever shut up. He just has to make snarky remarks for everything. The only time he'd take anything remotely serious is if he's with Bale, but that's only cause he wants to look good in front of his idol.

I'd imagine when the Armistance was first formed, he'd be around the American operatives the most. They're like real life Archie, Troy, and Chief Elgin to him.

Likes to imagine Bale as some cool, old authority figure that you'd see in movies that teaches the subordinates wisdom about the harsh realities of the world. Yet, at the same time Rodion sees a bit of his father within him.

Rodion's relationship with Minotaur is similar to that of Yegor's. The only difference is that Rodion doesn't pull the old card as much as he does with Yegor.

Nikto genuinely does not like Rodion and is not just only praying on his downfall, but is actively trying to make it happen.
