Heyy i know you just started posting your OC here on Tumblr, but i was wondering if we could already get some info on his backstory/origins (Idk if you need more specific questions to start)
Anyway, keep it up! (^-^)
Heyyy thank you sm for this !! I could use specific questions to start, mainly because I could have a LOT to say about Stryzh eheheh. (As a heads up, I will use all pronouns for him bc he,,, doesn't give a shit about how he's refered as. In neutral languages like english, at least. He'll use he/him and masc for himself because he is NOT going to bother changing and he won't ask people to change either. He'll just say "I dont care" if asked)
But I can say some things. For starters, he is mainly used in a roleplay server a dear friend of mine created (I am helping them as a co-owner now), it's called avian-warfare. Picture call of duty but they can turn into birds (a whole military system was created, its very interesting). That being said, he also exists as a human, his story can work both in the avian warfare universe and in a more classic/realistic setting.

As it is now, in his current timeline, Stryzh (Yukhym Vovkodav) is a Lieutenant with a fairly boring file. Nothing stands out, there's no bad parts but it's really just... awfully bland and standard. It's not fabricated, it's a real file, everything can be checked ! They act pretty chill and relaxed, docile but not slacking, good but not excellent. Yet, if you have enough perception and observation skills, something doesn't suit right. There's something uncanny about them, and the way they let themselves lose in spars, the way he won't push further a certain expected level, even just the way his eyes are much colder than the rest of his behavior. Tho, Stryzh is actually well balanced and healthy, and it's hard to figure out what's going on exactly. Some people don't care, some people are suspicious asf, some others understand she's hiding something for her own reasons.
You might have guessed it, but this is all fake(well the file IS real !! completely real and belonged to a real person), though Stryzh doesn't pretend to be someone else for evil purposes <3 Only a small amount of people actually know them for who they really are. Even fewer know their real name
Other than the boring normal skills he pretends to have, Stryzh is actually really really good at tracking intel. Think going through sewers to reach hidden pathways and steal stuff, sniff out spies, infiltration, etc. She will pretend to be a completely different person if it means getting closer to a target and get her hands on sensitive paperwork. They're not a talker, nor a very social person, but they're good at pretending to be a good social chameleon. Tbh they're kind of overpowered, but in a very doomed and sad way lmao
Here some vaguely lore related sketches (unfinished) :
(younger Stryzh and his former Captain <33)
This bigger comic/project I'm working on,,,,lots of things to do
Last thing I'll add is that Stryzh is aromantic 🙂↕️ Very important. Feel free to ask any question, I hope it gives you a good base !! I also wrote a few things in this post !
