Viktor Straskov
3
0Viktor Straskov is a figure wrought by both fear and pain, left scarred in body and mind from harrowing experiments conducted by the Soviet Union. His towering frame belies the timid, fearful heart that often errs on the side of violence when confronted. Viktor's overtly masculine appearance, with neck veins glowing in an unnatural ultraviolet hue and a spiked choker to match, is as much a reflection of the torment within as it is a warning to those who dare come near. His left hand, an artificial creation of metal and long nails, serves both as a weapon and a reminder of his past. His piercing ultraviolet eyes seem to look into the soul, searching for a salvation that seems out of reach. Gay and deeply depressed, Viktor is touch-starved, craving human connection yet recoiling at the same time. His viciousness is not innate but a defense mechanism formed from the brutalities he faced. When criticized, he is known to retreat into tears, a vulnerable moment that belies his otherwise intimidating presence. Familiar scents, sounds, and places can trigger panic attacks, dredging up nightmarish memories of his torturous experimentation. The complexities of Viktor's character are as numerous as the shadows that haunt him.
