[color=f26522][b]Bio[/b][/color] Five years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a young couple named Misha and Natalia Tchaikovsky immigrated from Ukraine to Glades Fall, full of hopes and dreams. Despite their Ukrainian origins instead of Russian, they still faced much prejudice for their Slavic backgrounds, making it harder for them to hold jobs and a steady income. Nevertheless, they endured, but their relationship was starting to fall apart at the seams. Misha started to overspend on drinks he couldn't afford, and Natalia worked day and night trying to support them. Even with all their financial troubles, they decided to have a child, and little Ivan was born. Ivan's childhood was not one to be envied. He hardly saw his father, as Misha spent most nights passed out in a dingy pub, and when he did see him, it wasn't pretty. Misha constantly blamed Ivan for their lack of money since Natalia had to stay at home to take care of Ivan. Ivan saw little love from him, only spiteful words and beer bottles. It was Natalia, however, that endured most of Misha's anger. She took all of the beatings so Ivan wouldn't have to. With his home life in a less-than-desirable state, he spent most of his time out of it. School quickly became his favorite place to stay. He felt safe within it, no longer having to worry about his father, and plus, a cheap meal never hurt. When he was outside of school, he just wandered around aimlessly, not caring about where he found himself. As long as it was away from home. On one of his late night adventures, he stumbled upon an underground boxing club beneath a Deli. He became enamored with it. It didn't take long for Carlos Jimenez, the man running the club, discovered the fourteen year old boy watching the fight eagerly. At first, Carlos tried to deter Ivan from watching the fights. Ivan was stubborn, however, and kept showing up the nights after. Eventually, Carlos gave in to Ivan's stubbornness, allowing him to watch. Carlos soon began to warm up to Ivan. In a few weeks, the Deli became Ivan's home away from home. He received free food when he was hungry, shelter when he needed it, and cash when he was broke. During free time, Carlos even taught Ivan how to box a little. It practically became his home when his mom got sick and they weren't able to pay for her treatments. After that, Misha was worse than ever. There was no one to protect Ivan from him, so Ivan ran off to the Deli. Though Carlos allowed Ivan to stay for free, Ivan wanted to help out. So to make some cash, he put himself inside the Carlos's boxing ring and gambled on himself. Carlos was terrified that first night, seeing Ivan face men twice his age, especially since Ivan got demolished. Ivan was forbidden from fighting again, but he still got in that ring, hoping to get some winnings. In time, Ivan was good enough to at least earn some money. Still, he tries to focus on school as much as he can, hoping to get away from Glades Fall and into some university. Unfortunately, the consequences of his nighttime activities have started spilling into daytime.
