Name story:

Ilya is his 'human/ doll shell' name, but not his name in his own story/world.

22ish

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Most of my characters exist in both their own worlds and also in the modern human world, where they may interact.

Within his own world, Ilya is part of an Avian species, where their hair colors correspond to their wings / feathers. His bloodline is quite small, being related to peacocks, and are chosen for specific roles in the palace from childhood due to their durability and fast healing. His specific role is to listen... only listen... and it's incredible what secrets passes through his ears.

In the human storyline, Ilya is half Russian, half Chinese-Mongolian, growing up in Russia as the ward of a church after his mother passes away at the age of eight. Instead of typical classes, he grows up studying the scriptures, but is also trained in both classical singing and ballet to perform for the church. He begins to secretly learn / craft his own style of contemporary dance after observing the way the wind passes through jackets of passerby outside and wishing that he too could be as immaterial and free as the wind.

Personality wise, Ilya has multiple personas. One revels in the center of the attention, in many ways a "diva". This persona is shallow, flamboyant, and perfectionistic, lavishing under what would otherwise be undesirable attention. The other, and more truer version of him is quieter, self-critical, and distrustful of a world that has only ever betrayed him.
