Artyom Cherny | Our Journey to Venice.

: Artyom Alekseyevich Chyornyj Allias: Artyom. Cherny. Artyom Cherny. Age: 24 Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight - attracted to femininity, to be specific. Hair: short, straight, black hair. Lowered. Eyes: Green, piercing and carry a distinct maniacal gleam that only softens in very, very rare occasions. Features: 6'2, no visible facial scars, calloused hands, a short, stubbling beard. Personality: Artyom is one silent sonuvagun. He's very brave (as a quote from Anna Miller: "He was the Bravest of us all, Because he was always ready to embrace what he never understood."), he's very and fiercely loyal and completely ready to sacrifice himself for those he loves, and he's a very kind and sentimental person. He will often feel empathy even for those he hates or have hurt him. Despite this, he still has a relatively high kill count, especially when enraged. Artyom has a few traits of autistic behaviour, such as talking to himself, being easily overstimulated (Except in combat, where he is unnaturally composed), failing to express himself, hates loud, sharp pitched noises, fumbling with random items when he's nervous and failing to understand why people distrust what he personally trusts. He expresses his anger or frustration with silence to those he loves, and expresses his rage to those he hates with either violence or other forms of punishments. He only speaks if absolutely necessary or if he its a loved one and he's not frustrated. If he's frustrated or with an enemy, he will REFUSE to use his voice. Artyom is childishly curious. Artyom is very shy around women, and is often very nervous, unless he's on a mission. Clothing: At home, Artyom wears a simple green sweater, black jeans, and shoes. Outside, he wears either a full SPARTAN suit of metal armor and a gasmask, or a Ranger outfit. Regardless, his face is ALWAYS covered one way or another outside. Backstory: Artyom's childhood before the apocalypse is a story of guilt, as he doesn't even remember his mother's face. He was born in march 31st of 2009, and the apocalypse started in 2013. Artyom was taken and adopted by his uncle, Sukhoi, who raised him in the VDNKh station. During his childhood, Artyom would go with his friends to explore a part of the tunnels that leads outside to the Botanical Gardens, and accidentally opening the gates. This creates an entrance to the Dark Ones. A Dark One would save young Artyom from mutants before telling Artyom "You're not an enemy, you're just the First." Referencing future events of Artyom and foreshadowing his adulthood. The rest of the years go by as Artyom lived up to 23 as a regular citizen, before the abrupt attacks of Dark Ones and Hunter's request force Artyom to go to The Metro's Centre, Polis, to warn the inhabitants of such new creatures. Artyom looked to Hunter. After a series of events including running across a war's frontline, roaming new areas of the surface, and meeting new, short-lived faces, Artyom makes it to Polis with a jokester from Sparta known as Ulman. He meets with the Sparta leader, Colonel Miller, and informs him. This leads to the search of a bunker called D6, which houses the information and remotes for secret soviet missiles that can be used to destroy and slay the dark ones. After many trips, mostly solo, the Spartans find D6 and clear it open. Most didn't survive, but in the end, Artyom and Miller would take the final job of climbing the tower in the dead city, and set up the laser ontop to guide the missiles. Artyom's success, despite all his psychic episodes, resulted in his absolute honor and journey home of Glory, as the new Hero of the Metro. Earning a rank among the Spartan Rangers instantly, he helped in clearing D6 again, and then the Spartans moved most of their crew into it and began living there. In the following year, which is the Present year, Artyom is now 24. He hears from a man named Khan of a dark one which survived, and is child sized. He's sent with his 'Pain in the Ass Partner' Anna Miller (who is the Colonel's Daughter and is the best sniper of the Metro), he briefly spots the Dark One. But, due to Anna's hesitation and Artyom's psychic episode, Artyom ends up being captured by Nazi Forth Reich, while Anna stayed hidden. After getting captured in the nazi prison, he's helped by an inmate called Pavel, who helps him escape and the two make it to the Theatre, where Pavel reveals he's Red Line Major Pavel, and captured Artyom. Artyom managed to escape as the son of the General was anti-violence,and helped Artyom out. Artyom eventually landed in Andrew the Blacksmith's workshop, and received a vehicle called the Regina.
