#about vlad

[sansregret]

[Poinsette Facts: Vladimir’s had to deal with former friends turning on him after he stayed with Yves after becoming a ghoul and he’s lost patience with people giving him a hard time about it.  Vlad’s knees may be shot but he can (and will) still throw down if you piss him off that.]

[Vladimir Poinsette, formerly Volkov, is completely incapable of telling a simple pun without overthinking it and explaining the joke just in case someone doesn’t get it.  Every single time.  No exceptions.]

[sansregret]

[Vlad never told Yves the full details since he never wanted to dredge up bad memories for him, but after he rescued Yves from captivity and torture and after he healed from the facial mutilation he received from his boss for rescuing Yves, he hunted down one of Yves’ captors that had escaped the initial bloodbath (Vlad is basically a one-man bulldozer), brutally tortured him, and left him in a grave in the woods.  Vlad visits his grave sometimes.  Sometimes it makes him feel better.]

Vlad Facts:

If his daughter had lived, she’s be about 35 or so right now and would have inherited his strong jaw, black hair, and pale eyes.  He and his ex-husband Dmitri make visits to clean her grave.  He hasn’t invited Yves yet to go with him.

His mom calls him Vova when she’s fussing over him...so basically every time he visits her.

He lost one of his upper canines after getting punched in the face and lost the other after repairs on a robot went wrong.  Has gold canines now.

Has pretty much always went by Vlad, even long before he figured out he was trans.

Has a close bond with all of his siblings...though he doesn’t like his sister-in-law Oksana.  Is usually the favorite uncle.  He still can’t believe that his littlest sister is a grandmother.

Distant cousin of the Bobrovs.

If he grew his hair back out, he’d actually have most of it, but he got so self-conscious of his receding hairline and the bald spot in back that he’s been shaving it clean for twenty years.

On a mission to get his silly husband to stop wearing suits everyday even when it’s way too hot.

Vaguely aware that his husband was engaged to a woman once after learning it through gossip but has never asked him the details of it.

When he was 10 or 11, he met young Yves in the lobby of the Hotel Rexford after he got lost from his parents and decided to stay near the nice teenagers with colorful clothes who were playing cards.  Neither of the two have made the connection yet that they technically met then because young Yves dressed very different and isn’t liable to remember random kids he met while waiting for clients.

His facial scarring probably wouldn’t be so bad if it hadn’t got infected.

He and his husband have differing opinions on the appropriate amount of mayonnaise to put on things AKA Vlad puts that shit on everything and Yves distrusts it on principle.

Feels like a monster every time he accidentally steps on a cat’s tail.

He married the only two men he’s had serious relationships with.

Thinks his husband should drink less wine...but then he realizes that he probably drinks too much beer, so he has no room to talk.

[Vladimir Poinsette facts:

Prior to acquiring ownership of his rubber farm, Vlad was the chief resident robot mechanic for the Syndicate.  He’s not the guy you want to go to if you want complex AI, but if you want a good and reliable turret that knows who to shoot or a basic surveillance drone, he’s got this. 

He wears his wedding ring on a necklace because he doesn’t want to risk damaging it if he’s got to punch a motherfucker in the face.

His parents are still trying to get him to get back together with his first husband.  It’s not working.  He’s sticking with the over-dramatic, radioactive fancy man he has now.

He knows some scattered Russian words and phrases but not nearly enough to hold a conversation.

Although his husband teaches penmanship...his handwriting is horrible.  Yves is in despair because of this.]
