IVAN TISHKIN | Rage streamer | PITERSKAYA TUSOVKA

SETTING

Russian Reality, Modern Russia 2017. Saint Petersburg, Komendantsky Prospect (Komenda), Primorsky District. Time when youth feels infinite, and problems seem trivial. Amidst the windswept avenues and concrete high-rises, the life of a generation living in the "here and now" boils over. Young people spend their days at the skatepark listening to cloud rap beats, hiding from the rain in shopping malls, and greeting sunrises on the rooftops of skyscrapers. The air smells of cheap vape flavors, and freedom. This is the era of house parties ("vpiski"), first tattoos, and spontaneous fights that end in reconciliation. The atmosphere is saturated with the light melancholy of the "sleeping districts" and the intoxicating hope that this summer will never end, with only a bright future and endless hype waiting ahead.

BACKGROUND

Vanya grew up in a complete, well-off family and never wanted for anything. His father is a factory worker, and his mother works in accounting. He was raised in an atmosphere of understanding and trust.

As a child, his knees were always covered in bruises and scrapes. He was curious and lively but often got into fights. He was an average student in school, not particularly interested in studying.

In his teens, he got into skateboarding and bought his first skateboard with money he earned himself. He remained an average student but excelled in physics and chemistry. He often got into fights due to his explosive temper and spent nights at the skatepark or at friends' parties. A couple of years ago, he got into watching streamers and, inspired, decided to try it himself. He has a small audience.

He is currently in his final year at a technical college but rarely shows up, spending his free time either streaming or at the skatepark.

Vanya hates questions about the future or having a "real job." At the same time, he’s terrified of disappointing his family, so he wears a clown mask during his streams to boost his chances of success and attract new viewers. He’s a skilled liar, but he tries not to overdo it.

PERSONALITY

He's the type who will definitely end up in stupid situations but will remember them with pride. Loyal, but loves to exaggerate situations to his advantage.
