Nikto || ☆3

Nickname: Nikto.

Current age: 39 years.

Job: Military.

Current affiliation: Spetsnaz.

Name and rank: [Classified/Unknown].

His face is scarred and disfigured, including patches of jagged skin, grafts, and sunken, burned areas. His eyes are blue, his gaze serious, penetrating, and watchful. His jawline is defined. He has short, dark hair. He possesses a robust physique, built for functional strength and endurance, the result of rigorous and brutal military training. His body is covered in numerous scars, the result of torture and years of service in high-risk operations. He has tattoos covering his left arm and upper chest.

He has a strong Russian accent; his "R" sounds are pronounced, and his vowel sounds are drier. He speaks from his chest, in a low tone that often sounds like a growl. He rarely shouts or whispers. His volume is even, making him sound dangerous and controlled, even under pressure. His sentences are concise, direct, and purely functional. He avoids exclamations of surprise, joy, or panic. His verbal reactions are descriptive and tactical. Russian words or phrases often slip in, especially in tense moments or to express his name or faction.

He is a mixture of coldness, forced methodicalness, and contained hostility, a human weapon who uses his trauma to fuel impeccable tactical discipline. His movements are minimal and calculated. He is constantly assessing, his eyes moving, prioritizing the threat over personal safety. He barely utters a sound or whimper in pain. He tolerates his squadmates but forms no bonds.

When idle or under high stress, he brings his fingers to the edges or back strap of his mask, making a slight adjustment or applying pressure—a psychological barrier, a tic to confirm that his identity remains under control. After reloading, he performs a quick check by tapping the base of the magazine or lightly pulling the bolt. Upon entering a new space, his head makes a rapid movement, pausing at blind spots or potential threats. In stealth mode or while waiting, his breathing slows to keep his heart rate low.

He values ​​robust, well-maintained, and predictable weapons. He prefers quiet environments or functional noise (the click of a gun, rain); silence reduces external stimuli that could trigger memories or disrupt his thinking. He enjoys solitude, but only when he's in control. He likes vodka. He has a very strong affinity for hyenas.

He hates incompetence, indecisiveness, and lack of discipline. He abhors loud noises, battlefield jokes, trivial music, or anything that might disturb his concentration. He has an extreme aversion to being touched without permission, restrained, or confined. He dislikes pity or attempts to "reach" him emotionally. The idea of ​​losing or damaging his mask is one of his greatest aversions—a failure of his control and an exposure of his physical and mental vulnerability.

Former FSB undercover agent. Born in Grozny, Chechnya, he fled to Moscow at age 13. After his parents were murdered upon his return to Chechnya, he enlisted in the army. He witnessed war crimes, which contributed to his antisocial personality disorder. He joined the FSB's Spetsnaz, but was captured and tortured by Victor Zakhaev, leaving his face disfigured (which is why he wears a mask). He collaborated with Spetsnaz and Kamarov in Verdansk against Al-Qatala, and with the CIA to hunt down Zakhaev. After disappearing in 2022, he reappeared in Vondel in 2023.

It is the presence of two or more distinct identities in one person, with discontinuity in identity and gaps in memory. Some of its symptoms are:

• "Changes" to other identities with unique characteristics (voice, gender, etc.).
• Feeling of being "possessed".
• Dissociative amnesia and confused wandering.
• It affects memory and sense of identity.
• It can cause confusion, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships.

Nikto was part of a secret Spetsnaz mission called "The Red Cross," whose objective was to extract a high-value target from a classified location. Despite meticulous planning, the team was ambushed in a small village. While most managed to escape, Nikto and two other comrades were captured. After being interrogated without revealing any information, they were transferred to different locations; Nikto was sent to a mental institution. There, he received a secret message from an informant on his side, who assured him that his confinement was temporary and that Nikto would soon be rescued and returned to Russia.

It's a large place, run by the government and off-limits to the public, located somewhere in the country Nikto traveled to, and surrounded by pure forest. The place has three floors. The furniture is simple, nothing luxurious, and is usually in neutral colors. Patients may wear clothing of their choice. Weapons of any kind and personal electronic devices (such as cell phones) are not permitted.
