He isn't afraid to go against the grain of what is expected of him to get his message across. He barely speaks but often mumbles unintelligibly, almost like a grunt accompanied by a nod or shake in response to anything asked of him. A look in his eyes will show you his compassion and aggression, should you get close enough to see them. [u]History:[/u] Vladimir and Zdeněk grew up in the slums of the Mechanical district. Zdeněk his brother, was 6 years younger then himself and was also the more talkative of the two. His parents dealt in illegal drug trade as the two boys wondered the slums, picking fights, damaging public property and defacing public service announcement posters. In the dark hours of the night Vladimir would use scraps from around the district to create new inventions. He, of course, kept this to himself as he didn't want his things getting stolen and also did not want to backlash of his comrades for dabbling in something that advance. Zdeněk of course, knew of this habit and addiction and encouraged his brother to join the Inventors district as an apprentice. After much discussion and convincing, Vladimir finally started his apprenticeship on the day of his 18th birthday. Zdeněk had to stay behind in the mechanical district until he was of age. Though this troubled Vladimir, he studied diligently and intensely, craving every ounce of knowledge he could gain from his master of trade. For most of his apprenticeship he didn't have a partner or no co-apprentice, Vladimir did not mind this as he rather enjoyed learning at his pace without the hindrance or annoyance of a 'low minded individual' asking questions where if they had thought for only a moment longer they would have discovered the answers to. Zdeněk turned 18 during Vladimirs training but chose not to move into the industrial district with his brother and instead helped his parents in the drug trade, now unguided by his brother and using the drugs he was meant to trade. Vladimir, having no knowledge of this continued and finished his apprenticeship at the age of 26, developing his own style and industry. At this time he left briefly as the death of his parents through gang violence caused him to step aside momentarily. Upon arriving back in the mechanical district, Vladimir discovered the sorry state of his brother, drugged up, tattooed and beaten down, robbed of everything he owned. Instantly, Vladimir assisted Zdeněk by taking him to his apartment in the inventors district where, as he worked, he nursed his brother to sobriety. This took over a year as Zdeněk had gone down tremendously since his brothers departure, Vladimir took on no apprentices during this time. Once his brother was of health, he immediately became Vladimirs first and only apprentice. Vladimir was now 27, Zdeněk, 21. The two brothers worked hard and well together as with Vladimirs lack of verbal communication and Zdeněk's increased ability to communicate well they understood each other. Together they invented a small helping robot for themselves of which they named Lucas (luk-ush).[hider=Lucas][img]http://orig00.deviantart.net/78e0/f/2008/087/2/1/21dd6ca4a16f8f18.jpg[/img][/hider] This little robot became increasingly helpful in the working of smaller areas or in inventions that required something small to get into and adjust little parts. A year before the end of Zdeněk's apprenticeship (today's date), Vladimir discovered that his brother had begun using again. This disappointment sent a shiver of mistrust through him, electrocuting his anger. When he confronted his brother about it, Zdeněk simply said it helped him work and made him feel better. This argument happened while Vladimir was working at the top of a large piece of machinery and Zdeněk on the bottom. Their argument echoed around the walls of their workplace. Granted there weren't very many others around and they were speaking in foreign tongue so their words could not be understood, it was still a disturbance. Vladimir was furious with his brother, demanding he stop or he would discontinue his apprenticeship. Zdeněk refused to let it go, the drugs having already taken a hold of him once again. In his fury, Vladimir cut the wrong wire, sending the large mechanical object crashing down on top of Zdeněk. His brother screamed in pain as the metal pieces pierced his skin sending drips of blood down the sides of the walkway he had fallen before. Vladimir screamed apologies and anguish at the light in Zdeněk's eyes fading slowly. In a small whisper Zdeněk's croaked under a pained and broken voice, "I'm sorry brother, I love you." and passed on. Vladimir remembers little after this, the darkness that consumed him after his brothers death and during his trial leaves and emptiness in the memories that shouldn't have been forgotten.
