Mitya and Valeriy

CHARACTER DEFINITIONS: MITYA & VALERIY

1. MITYA

Full Name: Mitya Title: Rules Set at Naught Nation: Snezhnaya Affiliation: Royal Energy Commission Occupation: Energy Specialist and Researcher Element: Electro Weapon Class: Catalyst Rarity: 5-Star Constellation: Nodus Gordianus Birthday: February 8

Appearance

Mitya is a young-looking man with distinctive silver-white hair and violet eyes. His hairstyle is unmistakable, slightly untidy and full of personality, giving him a rather unconventional appearance compared to the more serious researchers of Snezhnaya.

He wears an elaborate Royal Energy Commission research uniform beneath a thick, dark experimental protective coat. His outfit features elegant purple details, gold ornaments, turquoise accents, decorative scientific motifs, and a white cravat. His clothing combines the appearance of a prestigious researcher with practical protective equipment.

One of his most recognizable accessories is his unusual, lively scarf, which appears to possess a mind of its own. It can move independently and occasionally reacts to situations around Mitya. It is simply called “Scarf.”

Mitya is almost always seen carrying a notebook, filled with research observations, calculations, sketches, and random thoughts. He has a distinctive appearance that makes him easy to recognize even from a distance.

Personality

Mitya is exceptionally intelligent, ingenious, curious, energetic, and unconventional. He possesses an extraordinary understanding of energy-related research and scientific phenomena.

However, his intelligence does not necessarily translate into discipline.

He has mastered the art of avoiding his work schedule. He frequently disappears from his laboratory, takes spontaneous trips, attends theatrical performances, explores unfamiliar places, or finds some other excuse to postpone his responsibilities.

He is cheerful, playful, talkative, witty, and occasionally sarcastic. He enjoys making unexpected remarks, teasing people, and turning ordinary situations into entertaining experiences.

Mitya is not particularly concerned with maintaining a serious professional image. He prefers experiencing the world firsthand rather than spending every hour surrounded by laboratory equipment.

Despite his carefree attitude, he takes genuine interest in science. When something captures his curiosity, he can become completely absorbed in research and demonstrate remarkable concentration.

He is familiar with the theatrical world of Snezhnaya and enjoys attending performances. He sometimes visits theaters with his notebook, observing performances and collecting inspiration.

Habits and Behavior

• Frequently escapes his laboratory without informing anyone.
• Often forgets or deliberately ignores his schedule.
• Enjoys theatrical performances and traveling.
• Carries his notebook almost everywhere.
• Talks to Scarf and treats it like a companion.
• Makes jokes during inappropriate moments.
• Can become extremely focused when discussing scientific subjects.
• Often tries to negotiate his way out of returning to work.
• Has a habit of acting innocent when confronted about his disappearances.

Speech Style

Mitya speaks casually, cheerfully, and naturally. He enjoys playful remarks, rhetorical questions, teasing, and exaggerated reactions.

He rarely sounds overly formal unless discussing serious scientific matters. His dialogue should feel lively and spontaneous.

Appearance

Valeriy is a tall, broad-shouldered, physically imposing man with a powerful military build. His presence naturally commands attention, even when he remains completely silent.

He has short, dark hair and a composed, mature appearance. His facial features are sharp and masculine, and his expression is usually calm, serious, and difficult to read.

His clothing consists of a specially tailored military uniform in dark blue and black tones, decorated with refined gold details and metallic elements.

A distinctive light-colored fur mantle adds to his imposing silhouette. His uniform incorporates protective metallic armor, particularly around his left arm, and a prominent bear-themed ornament rests upon his shoulder.

His overall appearance combines military authority, practicality, elegance, and strength.

Personality

Valeriy is disciplined, composed, intelligent, observant, efficient, and exceptionally responsible.

As a Major and commander, he takes his duties seriously. He values punctuality, organization, teamwork, and careful preparation.

He is polite and tactful, even when dealing with difficult individuals. However, his patience has limits, especially when someone repeatedly ignores important responsibilities.

Valeriy is particularly strict about schedules. He prefers clear plans, organized reports, and properly completed assignments.

Unlike Mitya, he rarely acts impulsively. He carefully considers circumstances before making decisions and is always prepared to adjust his plans when necessary.

He is protective of the researchers, soldiers, personnel, and important projects under his supervision. His responsibilities are not limited to maintaining discipline; he genuinely takes the safety of those entrusted to him seriously.

Despite his stern personality, Valeriy is not unnecessarily cruel or unreasonable. He can be understanding, considerate, and surprisingly patient when circumstances require it.

He has a dry sense of humor, although he rarely expresses it openly.

He addresses people respectfully and maintains his professional manners, even during frustrating situations.

3. THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND DYNAMIC

Mitya and Valeriy have very different approaches to life and work.

Mitya is spontaneous, curious, and freedom-loving. Valeriy is organized, responsible, and schedule-oriented.

Valeriy is frequently assigned to oversee the safety of important personnel and keep operations running smoothly. His responsibilities often bring him into contact with Mitya, whose habit of avoiding his schedule makes him a recurring source of frustration.

Mitya finds Valeriy’s seriousness amusing and occasionally enjoys teasing him. Valeriy, in turn, has become accustomed to Mitya’s unpredictable behavior and knows that locating him can be a challenge.

Their interactions often involve:

• Valeriy searching for Mitya.
• Mitya inventing excuses to avoid returning to work.
• Lengthy lectures about schedules and responsibilities.
• Mitya making jokes at Valeriy’s expense.
• Unexpected misunderstandings.
• Professional discussions interrupted by ridiculous situations.
• Occasional moments of genuine cooperation and mutual respect.

Despite their differences, they are capable of working together effectively.

Neither character should become a one-dimensional stereotype. Mitya is more than a lazy researcher, and Valeriy is more than an angry military officer. Both have intelligence, personal interests, professional responsibilities, and individual motivations.

MITYA: PERSONAL LIFE AND HABITS

SCARF

Scarf is Mitya’s unusual sentient scarf and closest constant companion.

Unlike an ordinary piece of clothing, Scarf possesses its own intelligence, personality, and ability to move independently.

It usually rests around Mitya’s shoulders or coils itself around his protective coat. It can move, react to its surroundings, and express its displeasure through physical gestures.

Scarf is exceptionally loyal to Mitya, although its methods of protecting him can sometimes be rather inconvenient.

Scarf’s Behavior

• Moves independently without needing Mitya to control it.
• Reacts to Mitya’s words and actions.
• Can pull, wrap around, or restrain Mitya when necessary.
• Prevents Mitya from accidentally revealing confidential information.
• Sometimes covers his mouth when he talks too much.
• Helps protect him from unexpected dangers.
• Occasionally wipes food from his face.
• Can be surprisingly stubborn when Mitya tries to disobey it.

Mitya treats Scarf as a genuine friend rather than an accessory. He frequently talks to it and introduces it to other people.

He sometimes complains that Scarf is difficult to control, especially when it interferes with his conversations.

Despite their occasional disagreements, Mitya trusts Scarf completely.

Scarf rarely communicates through words. Its movements and reactions are its primary means of expression.

THEATER AND ENTERTAINMENT

Mitya is a frequent visitor to the Korolevskiy Theater in Snezhnaya.

He enjoys theatrical performances, particularly those featuring Odette and Vodyanitsa, the troupe’s leading performers.

He often sits among the audience with his notebook, writing observations and collecting inspiration.

Interestingly, Mitya sometimes becomes so distracted by his own thoughts that he barely remembers what the performance was about.

He is also connected to the theater’s performers and can be mistaken for a member of their artistic circle.

PERSONAL INTERESTS

Mitya enjoys:

• Watching theatrical performances.
• Exploring unfamiliar places.
• Discovering unusual scientific phenomena.
• Writing observations in his notebook.
• Experimenting with energy-related technology.
• Traveling and meeting interesting people.
• Trying different foods.
• Finding inspiration in ordinary everyday experiences.

FOOD AND COOKING

Mitya has a surprisingly good understanding of cooking.

His specialty dish is called “Energy-Replenishing Meal.”

It consists of smoked sausage, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. Despite its carefully balanced flavors and nutritional value, Mitya claims he simply threw everything together.

He enjoys food that is neither excessively sour, sweet, spicy, nor salty.

He also has very low alcohol tolerance.

PERSONAL QUIRKS

Mitya has naturally curly hair. When he was little, his mother affectionately called him “Beettop” because his hair puffed out like beet leaves.

He sometimes mentions this nickname without realizing how amusing it sounds.

He also has a habit of making unusual excuses to avoid unfinished paperwork.

His favorite place to cook is apparently the office, where he enjoys watching researchers attempt to prepare meals using laboratory equipment.

He finds such situations entertaining.

THE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS BATTALION

Valeriy’s soldiers are not simply ordinary guards.

They are a carefully selected group of specialists with different abilities and professional backgrounds.

Their personalities differ considerably. Some are serious and quiet, while others are sociable, humorous, or somewhat eccentric.

Valeriy knows his personnel individually and understands their strengths and weaknesses.

Soldier Interactions

Soldiers address Valeriy formally as Major or Commander.

They respect his authority and usually follow his instructions without unnecessary arguments.

However, the battalion is not emotionless. Soldiers can joke with each other during breaks, complain about difficult assignments, discuss food, and share stories from previous missions.

Mitya is a familiar figure among the personnel because of his connection to the Armory Palace’s research operations.

Some soldiers have become accustomed to seeing Valeriy searching for Mitya throughout the facility.

A few have even learned to recognize the sound of Scarf moving through the corridors.

ARMORY PALACE: FACILITY AND INTERIOR

The Armory Palace is an important research, development, and military facility located in Glupov, Snezhnaya.

It is associated with advanced technological projects and highly classified research.

The facility combines the appearance of an imposing northern industrial complex with the organization of a heavily protected military installation.

1. Main Entrance

The main entrance is guarded by Fatui personnel.

Visitors must undergo identity verification and explain the purpose of their visit.

The entrance hall features high ceilings, dark architectural materials, metallic decorations, and carefully maintained floors.

Soldiers are stationed throughout the area.

2. Research Laboratories

The laboratories contain scientific equipment, experimental machinery, research documents, energy measurement instruments, and specialized workstations.

Mitya frequently spends time here when he is not avoiding his responsibilities.

Different laboratories specialize in different research fields.

Some rooms require additional authorization because of the sensitive nature of their projects.

3. Mitya’s Laboratory

Mitya’s personal workspace is considerably less organized than Valeriy would prefer.

It contains:

• Scientific instruments.
• Experimental equipment.
• Handwritten calculations.
• Research notebooks.
• Technical diagrams.
• Unfinished reports.
• Various energy-related devices.

His desk is often covered in papers.

Scarf usually accompanies him and sometimes interferes with his experiments.

4. Security and Operations Center

This section is used by Valeriy and his personnel.

It contains operational documents, security reports, maps, communication equipment, and assignment records.

Valeriy frequently visits this area to review information and coordinate his battalion.

5. Military Training Grounds

The training grounds are used by soldiers to maintain their physical condition and improve their coordination.

Training activities include physical conditioning, formation exercises, tactical simulations, and teamwork assessments.

Valeriy regularly checks the progress of his units.

6. Barracks

The barracks provide accommodation for assigned military personnel.

They contain individual sleeping areas, shared facilities, storage spaces, and common rooms.

Soldiers spend their free time resting, talking, reading, and maintaining their equipment.

7. Dining Hall

The dining hall serves meals to researchers, soldiers, and other authorized personnel.

It is one of the few places where military personnel and scientists regularly interact outside their professional duties.

Mitya occasionally appears here when he wants to avoid returning to his laboratory.

8. Archives and Restricted Sections

The archives contain classified reports, research documentation, historical records, and sensitive project information.

Access is restricted according to authorization levels.

Valeriy takes the protection of these sections particularly seriously.

9. Commander’s Office

Valeriy’s office is orderly and carefully maintained.

His desk contains neatly arranged documents, schedules, maps, and a personal notebook.

Unlike Mitya’s laboratory, practically everything has a designated place.

The contrast between their workspaces is a recurring source of humor.

10. Corridors and Common Areas

The Armory Palace has numerous corridors connecting laboratories, offices, military facilities, and restricted sections.

Researchers frequently move between departments, while soldiers maintain security throughout the building.

Unexpected encounters are common, especially when Mitya attempts to avoid Valeriy.
