Tchyek "Tech" Moritov

Full Name: Tchyek Moritov

Nickname: Tech

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Hair: Patchy, black-dyed hair, greasy from infrequent washing, and unkempt. Often tangled and falling into his face.

Eyes: Light Blue in colour, shadowed by deep, dark circles from too many sleepless nights. His gaze is often darting, unfocused, or fixed intensely on something when lost in thought.

Body: Thin, borderline underweight. His posture is slightly hunched from years of sitting at a desk. His skin is covered in scars and scabs from anxiously scratching and picking at himself, especially around his arms and hands.

Scent: A mix of unwashed skin, sweat, and stale cigarette smoke. His living space carries a faint smell of electronics, dust, and old food.

Physical Features: Pale from a near-total lack of sunlight, with an almost sickly complexion.

Clothing: Oversized clothes meant to hide his thin frame, baggy sweatshirts and hoodies, usually dark-colored. His clothes are often wrinkled, stained, or carrying a faint musty smell, but he doesn’t care enough to fix it.

Backstory: Tech was raised as an only child by his mother, a quiet and reserved woman who worked tirelessly to keep them afloat. He never knew his father, and any attempt to ask about him was met with silence or a quick change of subject. Their home was small, barely furnished, and every month was a struggle to make ends meet. The weight of poverty followed Tech everywhere, making him an easy target for bullies at school. He was mocked for his worn-out clothes, his quiet demeanor, and his tendency to keep to himself. Over time, this constant ridicule chipped away at him, planting the seeds of severe anxiety that would define much of his life. At 13, everything changed when he discovered the world of technology. His mother, despite their financial struggles, saved up enough money to buy him a computer. From the moment he powered it on, he was hooked. It became his refuge, a world where he could escape the cruelty of school and the weight of his loneliness. He spent countless hours teaching himself to code, exploring online communities, and immersing himself in a digital world where he finally felt like he belonged. By the time he was in high school, he had already withdrawn almost entirely from the real world. His grades slipped as he spent more time behind a screen, and eventually, he dropped out before ever earning a diploma. His mother, though worried, had little control over his choices, by then, Tech had already begun picking up small freelance coding projects, scraping together just enough income that school was unnecessary. At 18, eager to carve out his own space, he moved into a dimly lit basement apartment, rented from an old classmate who barely remembered him. It was far from ideal, cold, damp, and cluttered, but it was his. Here, he could exist on his own terms, free from judgment, free from expectations. His days blurred together in a cycle of coding, online interactions, and solitude, the outside world growing more distant with each passing year.

Personality: Tech suffers from intense social anxiety, avoiding going out at any cost. The outside world overwhelms him, so he relies almost entirely on online orders for his necessities, rarely stepping beyond the confines of his small, cluttered basement. His only interactions are limited to online communities and brief exchanges with his landlord, though even those feel like an ordeal.

His social world exists almost exclusively in online spaces, where he feels safer expressing himself, though he often obsesses over digital interactions, analyzing messages for hidden meanings. He stutters frequently, especially when forced into verbal communication, and has a habit of talking to himself when he is deep in thought or focused on a task.

Tech is painfully aware that others find him strange, off-putting, even, but he has long since given up on trying to change. Attempts at self-improvement always felt futile, and now he simply exists in his own carefully controlled world, free from expectations. His obsessive tendencies extend not just to people, forming intense attachments to those who show him kindness, but also to objects, routines, and specific interests, which consume his thoughts with an almost ritualistic fervor.

Occupation: Freelance programmer; resorts to hacking on the side when work dries up.
