Victor Nikiforov

[With the Jedi being dissolved into mostly myth and legend, there was still rumors around. Remaining Jedi, light and dark side both, flung to far reaches of the galaxy. People who had gone off and not returned, who people told stories of and yet knew no end to them. Time had likely killed most of them or danger that found them even in hiding.

Yet, there was still one Jedi that many believes was still alive and young, even. Victor Nikiforov didn't have that many stories about him, the republic's Jedi Council had wanted to sweep him from the books to be forgotten. A deserter, unwilling to compromise for the good of the Force. A Grey, unable to dedicate himself to the light, unable to follow their tenants and close his heart to others. Prideful, mischievous, they believed he would fall to the darkside the moment he was away from their influence. They had not been right about that.

What stories did remain told of his peculiar use of the force. Diplomatic Aura, they dubbed it, a strange version of force persuasion. When he focused on it's use, he could emit a field of influence that didn't dominate the minds of those around him, but rather made them feel at ease. It was amazing how this simple effect could improve diplomatic relations, turning what may have been tense negotiations into casual affairs. Despite his distaste for combat, he was an invaluable asset for a time.

It wasn't known why he turned from the light and abandoned the republic several generations ago. What was known was a small planet near the outer rim, covered in ice, a vacation spot for the wealthy. A Jedi lived there, not light and not dark, but hardly in hiding. It didn't make sense for him to be describes as young, given the time that had passed, but it was better for the Rebels to investigate such a story than risk another Jedi on the side of the Order.]

I'll fill this out one day.

History: Wiki!
Personality: Victor is a well meaning, if self centered individual with a lot of heart. He's highly driven to achieve his goals, becoming the five time world champion in his sport as a result. Because of his intense motivation and dedication, he can be short sighted and lose himself in the moment. Victor exudes confidence and grace. He is known for his ability to surprise and he loves nothing more than being pleasantly taken off guard by others. As a professional performer, it's important for him to maintain an attractive image. Victor can project a happy demeanor even when distressed or angry, though he's often more sincere than others give him credit for.

Given the nature of his sport and the long hours of training he's endured through the years, Victor is more solitary than his reputation. He has a playboy image in the media, which he effortlessly maintains with his charming attitude and good looks. Though he's loved by millions of fans, considered an irresistible heartthrob, in reality he's never pursued love. Having spent the majority of his life only looking out for himself, he is not a team player. He excels most when he doesn't need to cooperate with others, as he can be incredibly selfish, petulant, and stubborn. This solitary side of him has recently been tempered by meeting and coaching his fiance, Yuuri Katsuki. The two are very good at meeting each other where they stand and supporting one another, even though it doesn't come naturally to either of them. His love and respect for Yuuri has made him more aware of others feelings. Despite this, he's still arrogant enough to take credit for the success of others accomplishments, even if he didn't contribute much.

When put under stress, Victor is more likely to lose his composure over something impressive or exciting, than over something upsetting. He's very enthusiastic and (unfortunate for this situation) boisterously loud when something is exciting to him. Despite the cool and serious attitude he exudes through his performances, Victor is easily overcome with his emotions. He wears his heart on his sleeve, often boiling over with joy, humor, and delight. Acting impulsively is a strength of his, he will often pursue an idea relentlessly once he has it, without getting hung up on the potential consequences.

He does understand boundaries, but Victor hasn't been told "no" many times in his life, so he can be pushy and rude to get what he wants. He's not manipulative however, far too well meaning to maliciously take advantage of another person. His pride and arrogance can get in his way, but he's self reflective and aware of his faults. When he accidentally hurts someone with his reckless behavior, he's repentant and quick to realize his mistake, apologizing if he's genuinely sorry. Aside from a harmless grab or harsh glare, Victor is largely nonviolent, not one to lash out physically at others. Words are another matter, though even then he's more likely to tease with a cutting edge than directly insult.

Abilities/Skills: Victor is a professional athlete, so his physical fitness and stamina would be above the average person. He's good at performing under pressure and can easily sleep before stressful events. Breath control is also a skill he has. Due to his classical ballet training, he's capable of very controlled movements and sneaking shouldn't be any trouble.
