ORLOV 18 | HETEROSEXUAL | UNEMPLOYED | HS STUDENT | ANTON YELCHIN a little back story... ivan orlov was a dangerous man, really he still is, he was in charge of a lot of dangerous men, dangerous men who where a part of the russian mafia. never had he once considered the possibility of having a family, his job was far to dangerous for that. at least that was until he met miss anya shastin. she was a beautiful blonde beauty that captured his heart and from the moment he won her heart he could see himself spending the rest of his life with her and having a family with her. he hadn't felt this way about another in his life, sure he had had his flings and such, really he wouldn't be surprised if he had children somewhere in the world. after three short months of dating, and keeping his life a secret from her, he proposed and she said yes. they married a few short months later. a month after the wedding she announced that she was pregnant and ivan was overjoyed. he knew that he couldn't keep his life a secret from her any longer, she was already suspicious about where he went and where he got all the money from. he had expected her to up and leave him when he told her but she accepted it and was happy that he finally came out and told her. from that moment she was rather involved with his contribution into the business, to the extent that she actually made some fairly important decisions for him, though of course the rest of the mafia didn't know that. december third came along and a bouncing baby boy was brought into the world, they named him dimitri after her grandfather and vowed to never let anything bad happen to him. they were overjoyed and more than excited to start their life as parents. little did they know what would happen in their future and his. the early years... from a young age dimitri showed enormous curiosity and intelligence. as a baby he would crawl into places that he shouldn't and would often be found with random objects in his mouth. once he managed to find a gun that his father had hidden in the house for emergencies and their was a wild panic around the house, as well as a lot of yelling and blaming. but everything turned out fine and they were a loving, yet dangerous, family once again. really there were many more dangers surrounding the innocent boy's life than a simple gun, there were mafia enemies and such always out to get his father and there was always the possibility that he himself could be used against the man. despite all these things his childhood was fairly uneventful. he was kept as far away from his father's dealings as possible, his mother made sure of that as she didn't want him to be involved despite ivan's intentions of bringing his son into the business. such a thing was made a whole lot easier when dimitri's mother died. it wasn't the kind of death that you are probably expecting, there were no gunshots, not stabbings or poison, there was no foul play at all involved in the woman's death. dimitri was nine at the time, he and his mother were on their way to a screening of a new childrens movie when a truck collided with the car. it was all a simple mistake, though not so simple when you think about it as a life was taken from this world. she died on impact and dimitri spent two months in the hospital recovering from his injuries. his father visited him everyday, read him stories and told him about his day, at least the non-mafia parts of his day. when he was discharged and allowed to go home ivan made sure that he made time for his son, he spent a lot more time at home and despite the fact that he hired someone to help look after his son he was a very hands on father from that moment on. almost every moment that he wasn't working was spent doing something with his son, whether it be helping with homework or playing a silly little game, if his son wanted to do it then they would do it. the pair grew closer every moment they spent together and it wasn't long before ivan introduced his son to his future in the russian mafia. teenage years until present... he was fourteen when his father revealed what he did for a living. at first he was rather intrigued and was quick to ask all sorts of questions including "how many people have you killed?" of course ivan wasn't going to answer that, at least not at this stage, maybe when his son was a little older. after about a year of knowing this information he began to realise that his father was a very dangerous man, he had an awful lot of men at his disposal and he was sure that he had been the cause of many a man's death. he wondered if his mother had known all this, would she have been okay with their little boy being exposed to all these things. for the next few years he pushed the thoughts to the side and got on with his life. his early teenage years were fun for him, he enjoyed doing school work and studying, yes he was something of a nerd. he had a fair amount of friends and he spent a lot of time away from home and doing all sorts of things with them. there was one of his friends in particular that he became super close with, they did almost everything together, in a way they were good for one another. this friend of his had been through a lot in his life, he had been in something of a foster child system since he was young and he had been tossed from family to family since, though he was sure that the family he was with during those years was going to be the last, though he wouldn't tell dimitri why he though as much. the majority of his teenage years were actually rather boring, despite who his father was nothing really fascinating actually happened. he was sixteen when it happened. he was shot and by none other than this friend that he had become so close to. it turned out that the last foster home that he had been put in were some sort of rivals to dimitri's father and wanted him gone, apparently that meant getting rid of dimitri as well. no, the wound wasn't severe, for some reason his friend had failed to make it fatal and later on dimitri wondered if that was intentional. but anyway, to put a long story short (because not much really happened) the friend and his family were killed by some men that were at ivan's disposal and this was when dimitri discovered just how dangerous this line of business could be. before that moment he had considered asking his father about the business, at least asking more about it anyway. he was curious as to how he was to get into it and all that jazz. but now he wasn't too sure if he actually wanted that. in the following year, shortly after dimitri's seventeenth birthday, ivan asked his son to accompany him to the room that was often referred to as the business room for a chat. he told him that once he was eighteen he was going to have the same power as ivan himself had, it was a shock to the teenager as he had wanted that up until the shooting and now he was unsure. at the time he didn't know how to tell his father that he wasn't sure if he wanted it and he simply nodded and left. over the next year he focused on his schooling as well as doing things within the mafia that his father asked him to. these things included (but were not limited to) threatening and hurting people, even killing them, he was asked to beat a woman once and he refused as he believed that such a thing was wrong and shouldn't be done, he was taken out of the room and given a good talking to from his father while the woman was beaten by someone else as she had betrayed them and some other crap. he was more than sure that he wanted nothing to do with this mafia crap when his eighteenth was nearing. ivan knew this, but he didn't want his son to take a different path, he really wanted him to take his place. but at the same time he really didn't want him to do something that he really didn't want to do. so he placed a great deal of money in a safe that he knew dimitri knew the code for and mentioned it to his son one day, just so he knew that it was there. ivan knew what was going to happen next, his son was going to leave him with the money. and that was exactly what happened. dimitri took off, at first moving around russia as he didn't know where to go. after a month he found his way to america and lived in new york for a small time. by the time he was eighteen he had found his way to a town called brunswick and made it his home. at this point he has lived there for about two months and has enrolled himself in the local high school as his education is still important to him. he bought a small apartment for himself with the money that he stole from his father, the rest of the money has been slowly put into a bank account that he set up for himself upon arrival to the states. he is always extremely cautious about who he talks to, though he is fairly sure that there's no-one at school that might rat him out. you see he thinks that he did really steal the money from his father and that the man will be sending people out to look for him. but really ivan informed everyone to leave him be, let him live out his life as he pleases, he loves his son and missed him greatly but he wants what is best for him and he feels that that is what dimitri wants.
