hi !! i’m j, here to play a fake faith healer turned medik (konstantin) and a rough handed brigadier who admittedly fell in love with an anonymous letter sender (sorin).
i wrote some tidbits about ‘em below, as well as provided some wanted connections too !

always love to plot, but if you want to get a feel of how your muse reacts to either of them that’s totally fine with me too !
𝐋𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐆𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐀𝐑 , YURY LENKOV , the FIGHTER AT THE DEN is seen traversing the streets of moscow , but the volki swear that he is originally from KASIMOV, RUSSIA ; perhaps it’s THE NEED TO EARN MONEY, AND PERHAPS MAKE SOMETHING OF HIMSELF that brought them here . fellow residents liken their resemblance to WOLFGANG NOVOGRATZ . the TWENTY-TWO year old MALE was FRIENDLY &. ENTHUSIASTIC before the war’s ruination , but in the aftermath have become REPRESSED &. NAIVE. rumours throughout eastern europe have given them a reputation of ROUGH, BLOODY HANDS WRAPPED IN BOXING TAPE THAT CONTRAST YOUR SOFT, GENTLE BEATING HEART ; SEWING UP YOUR WORN OUT, THREADBARE CLOTHES LIKE YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS TAUGHT YOU TO ; BOUNDING WITH EXCITEMENT AND ENERGY THAT GLITTERS IN THE COLD POST WAR CITY OF MOSCOW ; A DESIRE TO DO SOMETHING MORE THAN YOUR FAMILY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO DO STARTING TO SEEP THROUGH INTO YOUR YEARNING HEART ; PACKING UP AND LEAVING EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER KNOWN BEFORE IS EASIER AFTER YOU END UP COMPLETELY ALONE IN THE WORLD .
Ayo Ayo I am Sarah (she/her) and I am playing Yury here. He's a big teddy bear who has never done anything wrong in his entire life, and he fights at the Den. You can read more about him here (it's a wip but the important stuff is there)! And you can continue reading to find some basic wanted connections! I'm very hyped to get the ball rolling here!
- Anyone who works at the Den. Love him. He's still pretty green, but he's learning.
- Yury isn't super competitive, but he's started to enjoy some friendly competition and fun ribbing with the other fighters. So some competition and rivalries would be a lot of fun.
- Yury concerns himself more with friendships, than he does with romantic relationships since he's ... pretty much never had one. So, it'd be interesting to see something happen there. I think he'd be pretty oblivious, unless someone was super blatant about it so I think that could be really fun. Oh yeah he's gay also so keep that in mind.
- Like I said He's pretty oblivious, and is the same way to any crime related things going on as well, period. It's not even something that happens in his brain. So, it'd be fun to see him get close with some volki and not even you know realize, or care who they are because he just doesn't know.
- Ah, Yury moved to Moscow not knowing anyone, and with no one back home because both his parents are dead. So, it'd be good to have some close friends who he has started to consider more family over the year he's been in the city.
- I'm up for anything my dudes. HMU

born the daughter of a wealthy tradesman , it was clear from a young age that yulianna’s life would be golden . each facet of her life was planned & prepared for - - the golden girl would be educated to be a little lady , all to make a golden wife out of her . cunning even in her youth , yulya knew that to be golden meant to be controlled . to be pawned off & encouraged to become a wife that would increase her family’s standing . so , she played her part . she received what education she could . she smiled politely , laughed at jokes she couldn’t find the humour in . she waited . for to be golden meant to live in a gilded cage , and yulianna wanted nothing more than to fly free .
so she waited . independence quelled only temporarily , until it was time to ‘finish’ her education by way of an extended stay with her aunt who would prepare her for the market of marriage . an opportunity . an exchanged train ticket & several trunks later saw yulianna in moscow alone . knowing her father would see her departer as her ruin , she left a note for her siblings , an apology to her mother , and did not turn back . a single room in a boarding house replaced the lush walls of her family home - all she had known uprooted , but she was free .
what little savings she had soon ran dry , and searching for jobs with no work experience felt fruitless . she had no inclination when she entered the garnizon that it would alter the course of her life forever . clever words & charming smiles at the handsome proprietor saw her receive a position on a temporary basis as a barmaid. through conversation & working in close proximity with mikhail , the two grew close . he learned of her charmed past , and she worked to break down a rather frigid exterior. friendship quickly turned to romance , and a hasty elopement opened a door to a completely different world. THE VOLKI . the garnizon , yulianna learned , was the door to so much more . it was a meeting place , a safe house for the prolific group . not only that , but her husband was a member of such a group .
clever as she was , yulianna was quick to learn the ropes. she upheld the business while also assisting with volki dealings . fearless , she ran the garnizon while her husband was away on ‘business’. she became familiar with the bratva . life was exciting - and yulianna was finally growing into the person she was & meant to be .
FEARLESS , until war erupted. FEARLESS , until her husband enlisted . FEARLESS , until a few months into her husband’s duty , she discovered she was pregnant . she had been pregnant before - - each one lost , one able to take its first breaths for a few hours before ascending to heaven . terror set in , and the funds of the garnizon , affected by war , began to run dry . yulianna fought harder than she had ever fought in her life . to save her business - to keep her child - to maintain a grip on the life she built.
baby katya was born , but her father did not live to see her grow . death ravaged the men at war , and it took her mischa as well . the world seemed to crumble underneath her . the garnizon threatened to follow . she looked at her daughter , and despite the love she knew she held in her heart for the infant , she could not muster it into tenderness . the world seemed a void . one she would rather escape from than succumb to . a visit from her brother ( unfit for service ) pulled her from her despair long enough to view the situation as she always had , pragmatically . she had a daughter to care for , a husband’s legacy to preserve . she had to move FORWARD .
the sustainment of the garnizon was the mixture of yulianna’s savvy , & a deal with the volki’s pakhan . she was familiar with their ways , their members ( and what was left of them ) and knew how to keep tight lipped . she knew how to lie , how to transfer information , and how to keep a safe house safe . it was agreed that the garnizon would remain as it was - in her hands . it slowly became yulianna’s purpose once more .
now , in the aftermath of the war , yulianna is much changed. her shine has seemed to dull , her compassion is masked by grief - - but it is still there . she is still kind . she is still cunning. she is still FEARLESS, though the definition has changed. she is striving to move forward , to find a purpose in her work - - to serve an organization that her husband lived & died for . she thinks little of herself , only of what she can do to secure a brighter future for others . she fights , she fights , she FIGHTS .
CHARACTER TIES / POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS
POTENTIAL LOVE INTEREST / PINING (0/1) : in the years following her husband’s death , yulianna has thought very little of romance . she cannot admit her loneliness to herself , but it eats at her . she thinks love is out of the question for her , but she is so full of love for others . she needs someone to trust - to share her burdens - to care for her. this character would be the closest she has come in quite some time.
FLINGS / FWBS ( 0 / ? ) : while she may not consider love - she certainly is not averse to finding company to keep the loneliness at bay .
SIBLING TYPE RELATIONSHIP ( 0 / ) : yulianna is an extremely nurturing type ( though it is often masked by layers of stern exterior ) she needs people to care for , and people to care for her . while her family lives so far away , and largely refutes her existence ( barring her brothers ) , she needs to find family of her own .
CLOSE FRIENDS ( 0/ ) : self explanatory ! please be her friend !
VOLKI CONNECTIONS : contacts that yulianna would regularly see with the volki, likely in varying capacities.
at parties i point to my body and say ⸺
this is where love comes to die .
welcome , come in , make yourself at home .
everyone laughs , they think i’m joking .

hello ! lovely to meet all of you , kyoto ( nineteen , she / her , gmt+3 ) here , with evgenia zinovieva : prodigal pianist , sovietnik , gimlet - eyed strategist + spy & perpetual liar . linked below is some info about her ( subject to change as i sort things out , ) but please feel free to ask me for the tl;dr via ims or on discord , though i may be a bit slow to respond due to being trapped in finals season for the next little while .
𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑰𝑴𝑬 𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝑹𝑶𝑼𝑵𝑫 𝑻𝑾𝑶 ! quinn again , and here we have resident somewhat rough around the edges but secretly a romantic den dad . his bio is still in the works ( aka it currently cuts off around 1915 bc while my brain knows what has to happen , it sometimes refuses to do it ) . however , i will also give you a tl;dr of what’s in it plus some bullet points of what is yet to come ! the tl;dr is fyodor’s father ran the den before him , and he grew up knowing little else besides the life of a boxer . when he was twenty four , he had a whirlwind romance with a woman named doroteya that quickly turned sour once they were married . in possibly the shittiest six month streak anyone has ever had , ( tw. parental death ) fyodor lost his father , his wife decided she wanted to separate , and wwi started . shrugging and saying well this might as well happen and also likely using it as a way to avoid his problems , fyodor enlisted , hoping that when he returned that the space between him and doroteya would solve some of their problems . he insisted that she stay in the apartment they shared and , making the choice between that and the den keeping its doors open ( though this choice would likely be made for him eventually given how many of the fighters at the time enlisted or were conscripted ) , sent home part of his salary each month to make sure she had a place to live . about six months in he started sending letters home as well . and ! that’s where the bio leaves off , so under the cut you can find some bullets of the sections i still need to write ( tw. gun shot wound , spinal injury , chronic pain , drug and alcohol mentions / dependency )
his full introduction can be found here and plots are at the bottom of the page , however i’d love to brainstorm if anything doesn’t strike your fancy !
in 1917 , fyodor was shot in such a way that resulted in an incomplete spinal injury ( meaning he retained motor and sensory function below the injury , but it was reduced compared to what it used to be ) . fyodor can no longer box competitively , and sometimes walks with a cane ( there’s a proud streak in him that tries to avoid doing so when he can , but there are days he cannot help it ) , however he still does his best to continue to practice , though at a reduced rate . he also suffers from chronic pain due to this injury , which he self medicates for .
after his injury , he was discharged and allowed to return to moscow . when he opened the door to the apartment he found the letters had fallen through the mail slot and onto the floor , never to be opened . doroteya had moved out long ago , despite the fact that he’d been paying for the apartment .
feeling as though he had little left except for the den , fyodor began trying to restore it to what it was before the war and , since he couldn’t compete himself , began training new boxers . however , like most things , it was struggling after the war . needing to hold onto something , fyodor struck a deal with the volki to return the den to its former glory , albeit for a price .
the weird dad of the fighters / boxers , honestly : stern but cares about his boys , passionate about the sport , etc . everything else might be gone but at least he has this , and so he does his best to make sure things run as best they can .
