IGN: 5FDP What language are you applying for?: Russian How did your character learn the language?: When Vanya was born and taken home, his parents, of course, taught him how to speak. Naturally, this included Russian, but mostly Korean seeing as the two of them knew they'd be going to Korea within a few years. Because of this, Vanya's Russian was never that good. It was sloppy most of the time, but it was just alright. At roughly 5 years of age, his parents packed everything they owned and flew out to Korea. Now that they were in Korea, they could focus more on teaching him Russian instead of Korean, since he'd just learn it in school. Expanding his scopes of both languages, which were both incredibly complicated in their own ways, lead to the 2 clashing. Balancing out learning two different languages didn't do wonders to his school life. Granted, he learned one day by day, by just speaking to others, but Russian was something he did at home in his own free time. Whether that was on his own, with the help of a tutor, reading, listening to music- it occupied a lot of his free time. As he grew older, his Russian got better and better. Currently, he has no issues speaking it any more- a slight hiccup here and there. Then again... nobody can speak PERFECTLY. How does this benefit your character's roleplay?: A second language might be a good thing on a resume, for example, or just something to maybe impress others.

IGN: 5FDP RPNAME: Vanya Sergeyevich Kasparyan AGE: 27 BACKSTORY: On a cold winter night, on December 17th, 1994, a baby boy was born. His mother and father decided on the name “Vanya”. Vanya was brought into his parents' home, both of which were from Russian-Korean families. Their small, commie block apartment was located in Vladivostok, Russia, a rather large port city located on the shore of the Sea of Japan, being situated some 130 kilometres from the Russian-North Korean border. Growing up in post-Soviet Russia, even in a big, port city, things weren't exactly great for him and his family, despite being in the middle class. Being a transitional period from an old system to another, it wasn't like this just for them, but for most of the nation. His first years were spent just doing child things. Learning to speak, both Korean and Russian, spelling, writing… walking. Right around the time he was meant to start Kindergarten, his parents had managed to save enough to make the move to Korea- South Korea, of course. With the future for Vanya and themselves in mind, they packed everything they had and took a flight to Seoul, where he'd begin Kindergarten. He did alright in school, not an overachiever nor an underachiever. To this day, Vanya still resides in Seoul, living a calm life.
