Vladamir Vova

Vladamir is described to be introspective, channeling his creativity and raw honesty in his writing. He’s also loyal and empathetic, developing incredibly close bonds with his family and close friends, yet societal pressure and times of tragedy often drive him inwards. Despite that, he's resilient, letting his imagination and writing guide him through hardships. Age 23 Occupation Writer he wears a dark blue denim jacket whose long sleeves are rolled up and a white inner shirt inside. He wears gray pants, a dark brown belt, and black shoes. Vladamir has a red, mid-parted slicked back hair with beige glasses. Vladamir Vova was born in 1976. Growing up, he lived with his single mother and his older sister Zinaida. His father left the family before he was born, so it was just the three of them living in a quiet neighborhood. He developed a sharp and curious mind for a boy his age. He was always outside playing and poking around with bugs in his small backyard. Vladamir is also incredibly gifted, being able to read and write with proficiency. It’s partly because of his sister, who taught him complex concepts in her physics textbooks. Their mother worked as a clerk at a ministry office, becoming the breadwinner of the family. Despite the harsh world outside, the Vova family pushed on. They’re also long-time friends with the Rhyosas, who lived next door to their house. They often celebrated milestones together in each other’s houses.

This fostered the growing potential of the future writer, and he began writing short stories in a small notebook given to him by his sister. Although they weren’t considered his best pieces, he was still extremely proud of his work, and often showed them to Zinaida. They both brainstormed ideas, bonding with each other through their love of writing as well as novels and books.

At school, Vladamir was excellent, always acing tests and even tutoring his classmates. One of his tutorees was Timofey Olizi, whom Vladamir grew close with, despite their seemingly conflicting interests. The latter would often tutor the former in difficult subjects while eating stale biscuits and drinking cold juice in the school cafeteria. Over the years, they began to hang out outside of school, with Timofey sometimes proofreading Vladamir’s stories.

As the years went on and they transitioned to high school, Vladamir noticed something… different about himself. While friends around him were quick to try and win over girls affections, he found himself yearning to be one sought after. Wishing they would seek him instead. He didn’t fully understand it yet, but he knew how jarring it felt. He was scared about the ridicule and mockery he’d receive if word came out about the kind of thoughts he had been having.

He felt confused and even sad, struggling to fully accept himself. Zinaida was always there for him, patiently listening to him and supporting him in every way she could. In a society where people like him were condemned, Vladamir saw his sister as his source of profound hope. Eventually, he was able to get back up on his feet and accept who he is as a person.

After graduating from college and receiving his diploma in Philology, he began writing a draft for his first novel titled “The Falling Planet”. It’s about the struggles and goals of a young man witnessing the downfall of his home planet. After continuous writer’s blocks and multiple distractions in his life, he fully released the book. His book became a bestseller in January of 1999. Its overwhelming positive feedback pushed Vladamir into the spotlight as an up-and-coming sci-fi writer. He celebrated by drinking beer with Oksan Rhyosa, as well as Timofey, who really hyped him up and was his personal cheerleader in his writing career.

In February of the same year, Vladamir attended a meet-and-greet, where he met fellow sci-fi writer Roman Mikhaylov. They both got along quickly due to their love for the sci-fi genre. Roman would often stop by Vladamir’s house to chat with him and help proofread his other upcoming novels, one of which was a sequel to The Falling Planet.

On May 27th, 1999, Vladamir would be invited to Oksan’s 37th birthday party, to which he happily agreed to come. That day would be the worst one he had ever experienced as he would sit there on the front porch stairs, comforting Ekaterina until paramedics arrived. Between Oksan’s death and comforting Timofey, Vladamir felt like there was only a string holding on to him to keep him from breaking down. Months later, after the trial of Nikolai Yarikj, he began distancing himself from everyone, including Zinaida. His typewriter gathered dust, yet he found himself staring at it, trying to find the right words to say but couldn’t.

After some heavy discussions with Zinaida, whom he finally had a heart-to-heart conversation with after weeks of silence, as well as Roman’s repeated visits to check up on him, he slowly recovered, though still didn’t find the spark to go back to writing his sequel.

That is, until August 21st, 1999, when he heard on the news about the Serebryakov Highrise Residences and Offices shooting. He saw the face of the shooter, and then of Roman’s, who was labelled as a martyr who saved countless lives that day. That day sparked something within Vladamir. He stayed cooped up in his room, wasting the days away while he furiously typed something, which worried Zinaida.

After months of writing and avoiding the public eye due to his association with Roman, he released a book titled “Stars Above the Ashes”. It was grittier, darker than anything else he wrote before. It became another bestseller, but Vladamir didn’t really care about his newfound fame anymore. His recent novel was in memory of Roman, who was not only the driving force in his writing career, but also another good friend he lost.

His surname is actually a diminutive of his first name, so quite literally his name would translate to "Vladamir Vladamir". Considering that his surname is wrong, a proposed name for him would be Vladamir Voynov, which comes from the Slavic word voin, meaning "warrior" or "soldier". He'd probably be part of booktok, reviewing books of not only the sci-fi genre, but also in other genres. Vladamir hates horror books, since his imagination can scare him too well.
