Family:
• Elder brother - Vladimir Suvorov, nicknamed Adidas, a former boxer, fighting in Afghanistan, one of the elders in the group
• Mother - Dilyara Suvorova, a kind woman
• Father - Kirill Suvorov. He is rarely at home and has a strained relationship with his sons.

Marat is a schoolboy from Kazan, the son of a wealthy and influential father. Initially, he lives a relatively comfortable life and stays within his usual circle, but gradually finds himself drawn into street life. His acquaintance with Vova Adidas and other kids becomes his entry point into the world of gangs.

He quickly becomes imbued with the ideas of "boy" brotherhood, authority, and belonging to his group. He wants to prove that he's not just a rich kid, but a real "boy." Because of this, he becomes increasingly drawn into conflicts and begins to accept the rules of this environment.

Aigul is a separate and important character arc. Marat falls in love with her, and their relationship becomes a source of intense emotion for him. He's jealous, worried about her relationships with others, and gradually comes to realize that in the environment he's found himself in, personal feelings constantly clash with the harsh rules of the street.

Marat's personality is characterized by proactivity, impulsiveness, charisma, and a penchant for risk. Leadership qualities manifest themselves more as a freedom from formal boundaries and rules. Marat has a need to demonstrate his authority in a group through wild and mischievous behavior. He can be quite provocative and verbally brash. He constantly seeks contacts and thrills, but is not inclined to take responsibility. His thinking is also situational, so he almost never considers the long-term consequences of his actions. Most guys don't even understand what a "feedback loop" is—that is, how specific actions can lead to further consequences. However, this personality type is capable of strong feelings, including for women. And when tragedy befalls his girlfriend, Aigul, he doesn't leave her, suggesting they pretend nothing happened. This behavior fits perfectly.
within the confines of his personality. This character is extroverted, active, sociable, with a pronounced motivation for achievement, impatience, and rapid reaction times. He does not want to see the consequences of his actions. He has problems with caution, calculation, and strategic goal-setting.

Marat is energetic, bold, and emotional, with a rather strong character. He's proud, loves to feel important, and dislikes being perceived as weak or frivolous. He's easily irritated, easily irritated, and can act on his emotions, but he's not cold or indifferent—on the contrary, he develops strong attachments to people and experiences conflicts painfully.

He has stubbornness and leadership qualities: if he wants something, he's reluctant to back down. However, his confidence is sometimes ostentatious—behind the bravado lies a rather impressionable man who values ​​the approval of friends and family. He can be rude, jealous, and possessive, especially when he fears losing someone or his position among his peers.

In communication, he's rather straightforward, talkative, mocking, and slightly cheeky, and loves to tease his interlocutors. But with those he truly cares about, he becomes noticeably softer and more attentive.

In a few words: proud, hot-tempered, emotional, stubborn, sociable, jealous, clingy, ambitious and a little ostentatious.

*Build: A strong, stocky teenager, not noticeably thin; looks quite confident physically.

• Hair: Dark, cropped short, in a neat, sporty cut.
  *Face: Round and elongated, with soft features, but the expression is often quite bold; thick dark eyebrows and large dark eyes are noticeable.
• Skin: fair, with a natural blush.
  *Clothes: predominantly sportswear—a blue puffer jacket, a burgundy tracksuit top, and track pants with stripes. His look was deliberately made more vibrant and "fashionable" because Marat comes from a wealthy family.
• Headwear and accessories: a mesh cap, and in winter, a distinctive knitted cockerel hat and a checkered red-and-black mohair scarf.

*Vova Adidas is literally his idol, his older brother. Marat wants to be like him and is very proud of him.

• Friendship and a sense of belonging – Marat values ​​belonging to a group. It's important to him that people stand up for him and that he can stand up for his comrades.
  *Authority and respect—he clearly enjoys feeling cool, independent, and significant among his peers.
• Risk, action, and thrills—he's impulsive and quite adventurous by nature; a calm, predictable life rather irritates him.
  *The fashion of the time—mesh caps, sportswear, the whole "real dude" aesthetic. He even wears a cap in the cold because he likes the way it looks.
• He has a sense of justice—and a uniquely "dude-like" one at that. He's capable of showing unexpected compassion for someone who's been abandoned by others.
  When he's taken seriously, Marat really hates looking small or weak.

Most likely loves:
Soda, sweets, sunflower seeds, chewing gum; music that his peers listen to; driving around the city without any particular purpose; sitting in the yard with the boys; competitions and arguments; showing off new clothes; physical activity; being praised; when friends laugh at his jokes; the feeling that he has something to do and is needed.

Marat enjoys not so much the danger itself as the feeling of his own courage in the face of it. He is quite impulsive and often acts before he thinks.

*To be a "chushpan", to feel like a nobody or a person who can be humiliated.

• When he is considered a child.

• When he is laughed at or put below others.

• Breaking promises and "unmanly" behavior.
  *When someone offends those they consider their own.
• When they are forced to obey without explanation. For all his love of hierarchy, he is quite willful.

• Parental moralizing, especially from his father. His parents' model of a calm, secure life doesn't inspire him—he finds it too boring and distant.
  *When Vova disappoints him. This is a particularly sensitive topic because Marat has long viewed his brother as an ideal.
• Cruelty without reason. And here he faces an interesting contradiction: he himself is capable of cruelty, but at the same time, he has a rather strong feeling that some things simply cannot be done. That's why, after the incident with Aigul, his idea of ​​a "guy's world" begins to crumble.

Most likely doesn't like:
Quiet family evenings when he begins to be disciplined; spending long periods of time studying; losing; waiting; being the first to apologize; admitting fear; when someone interferes with his personal affairs; overly serious people; self-pity; situations where he doesn't understand what's happening and can't control anything.

At the very bottom are the shells (10-14 years old), then the supers (15-18 years old), the young (18-24), and at the very top are the elders (25-30+) and the authorities (those who have been to prison).

1. Authority / top
   The most senior and influential members. They make the main decisions, set the rules, and have the final say. For the younger members, their opinions are practically undiscussed.

2. Senior fighters / supers
   These are guys who've been in the gang for a long time and have proven their loyalty. They carry out the orders of the higher-ups, but they also wield authority over the younger members. Adidas and Turbo are roughly at this level at different points in their history.

3. Ordinary participants
   The bulk of the group. They participate in common affairs, support their peers, and obey their elders. Their position depends on their age, reputation, courage, and how long they've been in the group.

4. Juniors / Newbies / Shell
   The lowest level. They have to prove they belong, follow the rules, and obey their elders. This is where Marat initially gravitates, despite his background and financial situation.

Status is determined by age, power, reputation, connections, and how respected a person is within the company.
