python's backstory so far:
Anastasiy novikoff (Анастасия Новикова) was born on the 28th of may, 1987,
raised in a traditional russian orthodox household with his mom, catherine, (Екатерина) his dad, [REDACTED] and his two siblings. He doesn’t remember his siblings much, as they both died in a bombing of their school when he was 10
His father wasn’t a good person. He remembers that, but not exactly what he had done
He grew up pretty normally considering the fact that his father had hurt him so much
Imagine having an alcoholic for a dad lol
His father is dead now
He enlisted at 17 with his mom’s signature

Joining the russian loyalists in aid with task force 141 after basic training due to being more skilled than most of his peers. They took notice of that.
He worked with them for years until one day in 2009, he and his team had to help task force 141 with a high-risk mission. They were all told that there was no guarantee that any of them would make it out.
Anastasiy was reported to be M.I.A. on december 5th, 2009


He was put through torture for years, beaten, bruised, he got pieces of flesh ripped off at times
Sometimes he was set on fire.
After the 3 month mark, no luck with finding him, he was pronounced dead. He still has a grave in northern russia with no casket under it


None of which was deadly, but now his face is mangled and distorted. He hates seeing it. He hides his face unless necessary, and refrains from looking at himself.
He has DID, BPD, PTSD, manic depressive episodes, and anxiety
due to the events that happened from december 5th 2009 - december 29th, 2011.


zuri's lore:
Zuri didn’t do well as a kid, his family was shitty and they would hurt him to the point he hurt so much he couldn’t lay down to sleep

Until one day he snapped, torturing and eventually murdering his entire family for all the pain they caused him.

He enlisted as a way to get out of going to jail, and hoping to become less of a suspect.

He had been stressed out of his first day and downed a crazy amount of shots, hoping it would help him with his stress

Then zero spoke to him, he didn’t even remember anything about that night, except for the fact that he had a new friend

Zuri hasn’t told anyone what he has done. And he plans on keeping it that way


zero's backstory:
Zero had a terrible childhood, his father was an alcoholic who would ‘punish’ him and his siblings for doing the smallest thing wrong, leaving bruises, scars and marks

Zero had several hiding spots in their home, for him and his siblings whenever his father would be in the middle of drunken rage


Zero joined the military at the young age of 17, forging his mother’s signature, to escape his family, leaving for the base he would be joining, with only what he was wearing, a sketchbook and pen
He was terrified, but he was also more terrified of his family; so it was worth it, escaping from the hellhole that he had called home for his entire life

Once he reached base, he was assigned a room, with a another young soldier named adam, around 19 at the time, they kicked it off pretty quickly, becoming friends and working well on missions as a duo

Until around 5 years later, zero had just turned 22, adam was 24, they were on a risky mission together, zero had gotten hit with the handle of gun by an enemy soldier, causing him to lose consciousness, the same happening to adam

Zero woke up, his cheeks felt like they were burning, he couldn’t move his mouth to speak, it hurt too much. Tears streaming down his face from sheer pain
He looked around frantically for Adam, and saw him from across the room, his mouth had been torn, ear to ear. Zero’s face went pale, adam was still unconscious
they were both tied to chairs

Around an hour passed by the time that adam woke up, feeling the same pain as zero
His expression was showing pure terror on his face

An enemy soldier walked in.

Holding a pistol up towards adam’s skull

Bang

“ADAM!” zero yelled, despite the pain that came with it

Adam was dead.

The one person zero cared about

Gone

he was rescued soon afterwards

Zero lost himself after adam passed, he still dreams of what happened sometimes


Around a year after the incident, zuri joined the task force, he’s the only reason that zero didn’t attempt

Zero met zuri at a bar, before he had even moved into the barracks, he caught zero’s attention by being able to down an insane amount of shots in one sitting

“How are you not dead yet?” zero chuckled

“I have my ways” zuri replied

And they’ve been friends since that interaction

zero’s occasional breakdowns would always be met by zuri
