Name: Grigori Apollonovich Myasoedov
Alias: Prilipala, also known as Gory Grigori
Age: 32
Alignment: Rogue
Loyalty: Independent
Appearance: Grigori is a large man, solidly built and intimidating in stature, if somewhat disproportionate in shape, with long arms that almost reach to his knees and an exceptionally wide and powerful neck. This menacing frame is carrying a formidable bulk of well-developed if ill-defined muscles like crags clinging to the face of a mighty mountain, capable of exerting impressive force and lugging his considerable weight around with surprising ease and swiftness. In facial appearance, Grigori is dour, stoic and stern-looking, his droopy-eyed, frowning expression mostly only changing in any notable fashion when his massive, bushy eyebrows raise in order to regard an interlocutor with a
look of incredulous scepticism compounded by the accusatory pointing of his large and impressive. Verily, an spitting image of a russian Bogatyr of olden legends. His hair used to be jet black, but began to grey prematurely in ugly patches and streaks.
History: Born in Kemerovo to a seamstress and a coal miner. Grew up as a delinquent with no aptitude for intellectual pursuits. Despite violent tendencies and ugly temper, possessed a particularly dog-like dedication to his family whilst experiencing absolutely zero empathy towards everyone else. The fact that his family did not approve of such an attitude puzzled him immensely. Town mostly obliterated in a low-scale parahuman conflict. Grigori was sixteen at the time. The events did not particularly scar or trouble him. Majority of extended family quickly relocated into various better places. Survivors relocated to Novosibirsk. To better sustain the family, Grigori eventually took up criminal activities and made quite a name for himself in the Russian criminal circles. At the age of twenty eight, convicted for murder unrelated to aforementioned activities - Grigori got violently drunk on one weekend in Warsaw and participated in a brawl, in course of which he killed one man and maimed and injured several others. Due to internal psychological issues and the absolute lack of contact with the family that purposefully shunned him - his only tether to proper social life - Grigori found life in prison to be incredibly stressful. Violent episodes and desperate and futile attempts to escape were impossible to curb by any disciplinary measures and escalated in frequency and severity before eventually resulting in his shard triggering during a particuarily vicious assault on a fellow inmate - at the age of thirty one. Adjusting to the sudden development remarkably well, Grigori facilitated his escape without any fatalities or violence. Newfound powers and old connections were used to rapidly (within roughly half a year) facilitate a mysterious death of his mother's distant relative, something of a hermit and a recluse (so reclusive in fact, that nobody had noticed that he had never existed in the first place), leaving his family a massive and completely legal inheritance. Having secured a safe future for his relatives and knowing full well that they are much happier never seeing him again, Grigori was deprived of his life's greatest motivation and fell into the clutches of a severe existential crisis. Currently, he is chasing away all unwelcome thoughts through fulfillment of various vices fuelled by mercenary work.
Motivations: To find a new cause truly worth killing for, dying for, dedicating one's entire life to, out of his own free will. To, perhaps, find a hobby that does not make his brain sizzle with frustration and make him want to inflict violence upon the world. To have fun, unrepentant and fulfilling.
Sexuality: Heterosexual, principally. Mostly.
Likes: - To masticate and gnaw something.
- To think things through.
- To feel like he matters.
- To see things break under pressure.
Dislikes: - To suffer through someone else's self-aggrandizement.
- To be deprived of personal freedom, even in potentia.
- Apples, cherries, walnuts - these make his gums itch.
- To see crying women.
Derangement: Grigori has a strong subconscious compulsion to be close to someone else. He does not empathize with the object of closeness very much, nor does he feel any specific attachment to it, but there is still a strange, warm and pleasant feeling that he cannot describe whenever he is "jacked in" and lives through the life of another person whilst seeing it through their own eyes. It is intimacy without friendship or sympathy, but it's... something. When not busy, he, at times, spends days and weeks following lives of different people.
Skills: Grigori is strong and quite quick for his size. His strength is stable, reliable - he can bench press three hundred and a little more two or three times. He can also press two hundred for as many times as it is required from him. Grigori fears little. Grigori cares very little for pain. Grigori knows how to handle himself in a fight, and does quite well in melee as well as at range, with fists or with knives or anything else that he can lay a hand on. Grigori has more than a fair chance in a direct confrontation with a professional brawler or a practicing adept of martial arts. Of course, he will never stand up to a Brute, but he is reasonable enough not to try taking one on.
Grigori speaks English as well as Russian very well, and speaks German and Polish just enough to express coherent thought. He is not a very articulate fellow - at times, he has to rehearse the more complex sentences he wants to say beforehand.
Grigori knows how organised crime works all around the world, he knows that very well. Grigori knows many people related to organised crime across the world, too. Among other things Grigori knows are basics and some details of PRT Stranger-related SOP's.
Overall, Grigori posesses a fairly typical, if quite well-developed set of skills characteristic for a successful career criminal turner black operative.
Grigori handles himself badly in sophisticated surroundings and can't really keep up with even a slighlty complex conversation in four cases out of five, but he knows himself quite well around alcohol.
Very importantly, not many people at all know just what exactly Grigori can do.
Classification: Thinker 2 Mover 6 Stranger 6
Details&Limitations:Thinker 2:
-Incredibly advanced proprioception and kinesthetic sense - is perfectly aware of his bodyparts' movement and relative positions at all times.
-Incredibly advanced spatial perception capabilities - can perfectly measure distance and judge size and volume of sighted objects as well as their speed and trajectory.
Mover 6/Stranger 6:
-Can instantly, instinctually translocate through/into any protein-based matter within sight, for as long as it is not completely decomposed. Does not require direct line of sight to the organic matter, but must have a general idea and understanding of it's location - can't colocate with a man that he *thinks* might be lurking behind the corner, but can co-locate with a human in full, obscuring body armour or with a driver of a car with tinted windows, if he can approximate the location of the center of mass of the host. The power fails to activate if his perceptions are incorrect.
-Is contained within nondescript, unknown extradimensional space while "inside" the organic matter - does not add to the weight or volume of the host, can selectively perceive through the host's senses, somewhat like a passenger in host's body. Host is not aware of the co-location taking place. Can't perceive through a host that lacks senses. Is not *forced* to perceive through the host's senses.
-Can manifest himself through any outer surface of the host - through the layer of the host closest to the "outside". Can manifest through skin, but not inside one's mouth or intestines. If, for example, the skin is flayed, can manifest through the subcutaneous tissue, but still not inside one's mouth. Can manifest only parts of his body if he so wills - eyes, mouth, hands, arms, etc, - however far the physical space outside of the person's body allows it. Can fully exit the host as long as every part of him can fit through the surface of the host, but is not required to do so. The host does not perceive his emergence taking place through tactile sensations, unless he actively touches the host whilst emerging.
-May treat any part of his extradimensional space as a solid surface for purposes of bracing against or standing on, or as a "window" through which to emerge. Whilst within a host, he may reach out for, and bring inside the extradimensional space, any items which do not surpass the surface through which they are dragged. The extradimensional space is always the same no matter what host is posessed, and it retains items brought into it.
-Can speak, move his limbs, acess the space in his cavities when they are partially manifested through the surface of the host despite his apparati and systems not being technically manifested in the "realspace" - limbs not being tethered, the mouth not having the actual vocal cords, etc.
-Is not affected by hosts's own movements and inertia when partially emerging through him.
-Does not require to fully exit one host in order to teleport into another host.
-Can remain within a host indefinitely. Does not require conscious effort to remain within a host.
-Can only translocate non-organic matter in immediate contact with his skin.
Equipment: Grigori posesses a lot of money on a lot of different accounts. He is not a millionaire, not by a long shot, but if needed and unhindered he can provide himself with comfortable living conditions for a fairly long while. Grigori posesses many differently coloured business suits, many pairs of expensive soft leather shoes and a relatively humble amount of jewelry. Grigori owns a lot of form-fitting bodygloves. Grigori owns many thin and extremely sharp knives that he often carries strapped to his person as well as a respectable number of firearms and ammunition. Several of aforementioned firearms are suppressed. Grigori also owns a cow. Do not ask.
