Background & Training ( still unsure )
Former Militia (Soviet/Russian police inspo) → Maybe he was once a police marksman or part of a Spetsnaz counter-terrorism inspired unit before going rogue. Could also be ex-FSB, GRU, or Vympel Unit.. Possibly betrayed or disillusioned by his government, leading him to become an assassin-for-hire. ( This either for T.A.S or not )
Combat Style & Weapons:
Sniper Rifle: Something like an ORSIS T-5000, SV-98, or Dragunov SVD fits his background. Sidearm: MP-443 Grach / Makarov PM for close-quarters. Combat Knife: A Russian NR-40 or Spetsnaz Ballistic Knife for silent kills. Stealth & Guerilla Warfare Tactics – Moves like a shadow, rarely seen, kills from a distance ( crow is required often )
Supernatural Element – His Crow & Tattoo ( bcz why tf not )
His pet crow is more than just a bird, it could be an omen of death, an extension of his own vision, or a spiritual familiar. The tattoo on his back acts as a summoning sigil; when activated, his crow can scout areas, blind enemies, or even attack weak targets. ( might make crow bigger later on ) Maybe the crow is tied to a curse or old Russian folklore, given to him by an occultist in Siberia ( to be renamed fiction wise ).
Personality & Morality:
Quiet, cold, and analytical when working | can be nice and more open when off work though – Rarely speaks unless necessary Ruthless but with personal rules – Doesn’t kill innocents, avoids unnecessary bloodshed. ( especially children ) Survivor’s mindset – Doesn’t care for politics, just his own survival? Deeply superstitious: Believes in omens, old Russian ( Sibirskaya, to be renamed ) folklore, and perhaps even dark prophecies.
Possible Nicknames & Callsigns:
Voron (Ворон) – Russian for "Raven" or "Crow"
Moroz (Мороз) – Meaning "Frost," taken from his surname Morozov
Short potential hook: a ghost sniper surface in underground circles, an assassin whose kills are never seen, only found. A man who walks with death on his shoulders. literally—his black crow always watching. keywords that came in head before writing: assassin ( now ), skilled sniper sibirskaya, russian former militian? dark blue hair pet crow ( has a crow tattoo on back where crow can be summoned )
