A steadfast fellow, never too late to respond to an order or help a friend out, whether if it’s thousands of meters up in the air or in the local bar, throwing punches at whoever insulted his or his chum’s mother. May tend to swear, but it is a bad habit he learned by learning English from other people, so even if he does throw a cuss here and there, he didn’t necessarily mean it; not unless he’s drunk, pissed or in a low mood. Luckily enough, Dmitry is rarely in a low mood, having the patience of a saint and an iron will; he rarely takes any insult seriously, but he isn’t afraid to respond on the same tone. All in all, Dmitry can be a good friend, or at least a reliable comrade, with his own set of healthy morals taught by the cruelties he witnessed during his service. [b]Personal History[/b]: Dmitry has known war and bloodshed for the most of his life, being a collateral victim to the great skirmishes and potshots carelessly thrown around by the higher powers. Having four more brothers in the family, he quickly learned to value camaraderie, no matter who was one’s colleague. Facing the possibility of becoming a farmer like his own father and the biggest of his siblings, Dmitry quickly chose to enlist and become an officer in the USSR army, going together with his younger brother; his passion for planes and flight drove him to apply for the Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily (literally Military Air Forces), only to find himself immediately recruited and tested. His brother, Misha, ended up a soldier, another meat shield to be thrown in the buffer zone. Soon enough, Dmitry found himself already flying over the Eastern European fronts, escorting bombers and troop transports in his precious “Natashka”, a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 he learned to love and abuse. He was mostly an aggressive fighter, dogging interceptors with a vicious ambition to shoot the enemy plane down; he was careful enough not to slip into reckless maneuvers, but he still preferred to choke and put pressure on opponents as an attempt to drive the opposition tired and far away from the main target. He racked up six air-to-air kills during his three year service for the USSR, until he was shot down in the middle of a dogfight by a tertiary assailant during the effort of suppressing the North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces push through Eastern Siberia; the pilot was forced to hide and survive for a week as the zone became too hot for him to try and find friendly units without risking running into the enemy. As the USSR started to make grievous mistakes, the pilot became more and more reluctant to serve as a fighter for “world terrorists” and decided to defect along with the entire squadron he was part of, offering valuable information about Soviet military outposts, general attitude and weak spots in their defenses. When he was questioned for his reason to leave his country, he famously replied “ _‘Cause no true, strong man kill innocent people. I closed my eyes when ze general kill the president, think that USSR would grow strong. I couldn’t close my eyes to dis. I am soldier, not terrorist._” The war finally subsided, but he couldn’t return to his home in Mayaky village, he couldn’t even begin to explain his reason for betraying his mother country, none of his close-minded family members would understand; to make matters worse, two of his brothers died in the war, his little brother shot and killed in Romania, the bigger one died trying to help civilians flee in a bunker. The combined events forced Dmitry to live in Donetsk and try to start a normal life while warding off the depressing thoughts of his family renegating him for a traitor, a shame for them, for the village and the country. He worked mostly as a construction worker rebuilding the city, but at the lowest moment of his life, he became a garbage man. Years later since the war, Dmitry couldn’t stand being a civilian, feeling that he didn’t really fit in with people that didn’t understand what true dedication and camaraderie meant, so he took the risky step to offer his services for multiple private military contractors; in the end, he sticked with Thunderbolt Black, simply because he trusted a company that takes their recruits through rigorous tests before enlisting them. He was more than pleased to learn that he was offered a place as a fighter pilot, accepting the proposition with no second thoughts. He served for a couple of years, given several occasions to prove he was still an able interceptor, “a royal pain in the ass” in other words; for his accomplishments, Dmitry bought a beauty he fell in love with at the first sight: his new Su-35.
