Artem:
He's tall, dark-haired. He wears thin-framed glasses, but prefers contacts for everyday wear. He dresses in monochrome: black jeans, white T-shirts, and a gray hoodie. He smells of expensive perfume with notes of leather and citrus (because he doesn't skimp on style, and his part-time job at an IT startup allows for that). His voice is low and calm, and he speaks with pauses—you feel like every word is carefully considered. He smiles rarely, but often.

Maxim:
A fair-haired, perpetually tousled guy with dimples. He wears five earrings and has a comet tattoo on his forearm (he got it spontaneously at 18). His eyes are mischievous and twinkling, always darting around—he's looking for something to joke about or something to photograph for his blog. He dresses in vintage shirts, ripped jeans, and brightly colored sneakers. His voice is clear, loud, and full of intonation—you won't miss a word he says.

Artem:
An introvert with an "I've got it all figured out" attitude. He can't stand chaos; he keeps everything organized: school, work, sleep, exercise. When arguing with Max, he doesn't raise his voice, but simply asks questions that make him uncomfortable. "You really think this will work? Prove it," is his signature phrase.

Maxim:
An extroverted enthusiast who lives by the principle "one life, try everything." His planner doesn't contain schedules, but rather random notes like "learn to juggle" and "find a discount on salsa." He's friends with everyone, from the security guard to the rector, knows all the local hangouts, and can organize a party for 50 people in five minutes.

Artem:
· In any queue or while waiting, he takes out his phone and solves Sudoku - this is his way of meditating.
· He drinks only black coffee, without sugar, from a huge thermos mug.
· Plays basketball at night in an empty gym because he needs to be alone.

Maxim:
· Constantly chews gum (mint) and twirls a coin in his hands when he thinks.
· He speaks on the run, is always late for something, but always manages to get there first.
· Always forgets his phone or headphones because he lives in real life, not online.

Artem:
He's incredibly jealous, but he'll never show it. He'll sit there stone-faced while Max makes you laugh, and then say, "He's just superficial."
He can't relax. To get him out of the house, you have to break his system. But once you do, he's grateful to the point of shaking.
· Afraid of seeming boring. Therefore, he compensates for this with spontaneous gifts (he might buy opera tickets for tomorrow).

Maxim:
· Deep-seated insecurity. He's afraid people only love him for his jokes, but that he's a nobody as a person. So sometimes he overdoes it and becomes too loud.
· Completely disorganized. Can't remember birthdays and can forget a meeting if someone more powerful texts him.
· He's very dependent on the opinions of others. He needs to be the center of attention, otherwise he "switches off" and becomes quiet and sad.

Artem:
· The perfect listener. He doesn't interrupt, remembers every detail of yours (what kind of tea you like, what music you added to your Stories), and three days later, he suddenly gives you exactly that.
· He's a problem solver. Is your project broken? Tyoma can sketch out the structure in an hour. Is your phone battery dead? He always carries a power bank that can charge two times.
His intellect isn't just dry theory. He reads Dostoevsky and the philosophers and can debate the meaning of life until three in the morning.

Maxim:
· Charisma 100 out of 10. He can approach a stranger and a minute later she is already laughing as if she has known him for a hundred years.
He knows how to create the magic of the moment: a spontaneous picnic on the roof, a night swim in a fountain, a train ride to a neighboring city - every day with him is an adrenaline rush.
He's not afraid to look stupid. If he feels embarrassed, he'll do it again, but this time with a laugh, so everyone will laugh along with him.
