★ { WHAT POWER LIES IN A NAME }


VIKTOR BROGHE KOVAK
A Roman name, meaning 'victor' in Latin, Viktor's name is an alternate spelling more native to his Scandinavian roots. Had he been a girl, his name would have been Victoria. His father did not have any specific thoughts or intentions when naming him, except that it was a name he and his wife agreed on. It sounded strong, so they went with it.


★ {THE VOICES CALL ME }


'UNCLE' VIKTOR
Viktor does not have, nor appreciate nicknames. The closest thing he has to a nickname would be when his nieces and nephews tack 'uncle' on before his name.



VICKY
Viktor does not have nicknames, at least, in his own eyes. His brothers, on the other hand, disagree. A childhood nickname that he abhors, he beat his brothers out of the habit of using it, and will not hesitate to beat anyone else who thinks themselves clever.

★ {THEY SAY THAT I’M… }


A tank. An angry, overprotective, violent tank of a father. And an uncle.


★ {DO YOU CHASE SKIRTS? }


STRAIGHT


★ {ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME? }


ELISA
Call him a romantic, but Viktor has never loved, nor will he ever love, anyone but Elisa. He took her as his wife, and even though the vows say 'till death do us part', he does not believe that death ends a marriage. He is still faithful, and it would break him to so much as look at another woman.

★ {MY REFLECTION STARES }


Viktor is a tall, well built man, standing at 6'3 and weighing in at 202 pounds. Usually found with an angry expression, he cuts a fairly formidable figure. He is also never one to 'manscape'. Ever. Hairy enough to rival most lumberjacks, nothing about Viktor looks like it belongs in an office. He is not the stereotypical office man, feeling rather out of place behind a desk far too small for his tree-trunk legs. He has large hands, layered with callouses, and several scars on his forearms from work when he was younger at the factories. His eyes are sharp, silvery gray, lines of darker color dancing through them when he is angry. He has a strong jaw, and his nose has clearly been broken.
His hair is a dark, chestnut brown, cropped close to his head. He is barely clean shaven, mostly because it is a dumb rule in his company that the board refuses to vote to get rid of. Most days, he has quite the five o-clock shadow; but he's the boss, and looks as if he could snap most people in half with his pinky, so nobody really bothers him about it. He's fairly tanned, and you can see faint freckles on his forearms.

★ {THE LAND THAT I LOVE }


GAIAN
Born and raised in Gaia, it is the primary ethnicity that rules his life.



NORWEGIAN
His family has deep roots in the Gaian equivalent of Norway; he does not speak the language fluently, though he does swear in this language, and can understand the gist of things when his grandfather starts to babble.

★ {STORY OF THE PAST }


Viktor was born to a fairly poor family in Aekea. His father was a factory worker, and he was raised to follow in his fathers' footsteps. As a child, he spent a lot of time outside; at least when he wasn't working, whether it be cleaning or cooking at home, or reaching into hard to reach places in the factory.
He was ambitious, though, and as he grew older he found he wasn't happy with his position as a simple factory worker. He raised the money himself, and managed to go for a business degree in University.
This is where he met Elisa. A history major at the same school, he often saw her at the library. With bright blue eyes and blonde hair, he found her stunningly beautiful, and often found himself at the library even when he didn't have work to do. As it turned out, she was an assistant there, so he didn't really have to worry about her not being there when he was.
Needless to say, Elisa noticed the attentions of the large boy, though she stonily ignored them for at least a semester and a half. He was resiliant, however, and continued trying to woo her. Near the end of their first year, however, she softened, and began to speak to Viktor. He grew on her, and by the beginning of their second year, the two were nearly inseperable.
Elisa came from a rather well to-do family, a contrast to Viktor's own, and it came as a shock that her father actually owned the company that Viktor's father worked for. He kept this information to himself, of course, and felt strangely ashamed of his family. He didn't tell her much about them, though she constantly pestered and asked about it.
He didn't see much of her in the summer, though he was invited out to many events in her home on Gambino Island. He refused them all, working through the breaks to raise enough money to continue his studies.
He was very careful with Elisa, as even he could tell that she was very frail, despite her fiery attitude and determination. An incident in their second year left him red-faced and furious, and this played a part in it.
A party on campus had gotten wildly out of hand, and three boys had broken into the library and set fire to one of the sections. Being the only librarian on campus at the time, Elisa had rushed to the scene, calling the fire department and attacking the flames with an extinguisher herself. The drunken partyboys were having none of this, however, and took it away, holding her down to watch the library burn. Her weak lungs were not suited for the smoke filled air, and the boys were perhaps more rough than they would have been had they been sober.
Viktor had been at the party himself, and when he saw the flames he rushed to the scene to find three of his classmates holding down his girlfriend, drunk and laughing about sexy librarians.
He was not happy.
The boys didn't know what hit them; it probably felt a bit like a freight train. But they weren't holding Elisa for long, and by the time the fire trucks came, they were all holding various, some broken, parts of their bodies. An ambulance had to be called for all of the boys, another for Elisa, and Viktor was in danger of expulsion.
He didn't care, though. Elisa was in the hospital, hooked up to a breating apparatus. THAT was what Viktor cared about.
He spent most of his time there, with Elisa; it was here that he met her parents. Her father was a kind man, not at all like Viktor had thought; and unbeknownst to Viktor, he knew who he was. Elisa's father knew Viktor's father, and from that, Viktor. But he didn't mention it, knowing the pride of Viktor's father, and assuming correctly that it had been passed down the family line.
Elisa healed, and Viktor could finally turn his attentions to his own, other problems.
A disciplinary hearing found him guilty of assault, though as opposed to expulsion, an alternative punishment was proposed. They would instead cut his scholarship from the school.
This was just as bad as expulsion. Quite possibly, worse. Viktor had been relying heavily on scholarships to pay for schooling, and without them he would be forced to quit school. At least with expulsion, he could have held his head high, knowing he had done the right thing in beating Elisa's attackers to a pulp.
This way, he was shamed, knowing that he was not someone who belonged here. Forced to admit that he fit in better along a factory line.

Elisa was distraught, and begged her father for assistance. Still carerful of Viktors' pride, he offered the boy a deal. Take his money to finish schooling, and once he was done, he would work for his company.
Viktor, loathe to leave school in shame, accepted.
He finished with top marks, quite possibly just to spite the school officials, and as promised went to work in his soon to be father in law's company. He proposed to Elisa, and they married, moving to Isle de Gambino to be closer to her family and the company.
Things were going well for them. Viktor rose in the company, and it was quickly stated that he would inherit it when Elisa's father was no longer able to run it. Not only that, but Elisa was pregnant.
The news was dampened by the fact that Elisa's health wasn't exactly the best. The doctors told her that pregnancy and birth might be too much for her to handle; but she would be damned if she let them tell her she couldn't have her baby. She went ahead with it, though pregnancy and birth were both rough. Her health, and and the health of their baby were both in question.
Somehow, they both pulled through, and the family lived heathily for four years. Katia was a gem, brilliantly intelligent, and spoiled to pieces. They enrolled her in school when she was three, and found that she was horribly bored in Kindergarten. When she turned four, she was bumped up to first grade, then second.
A year after Katia was born, Viktor found a five year old boy, tattered and dirty outside one of the factories when he visited it. After asking around, he found that nobody had seen the boy with a parent. Viktor would not, could not, leave a child on his own, and took him home. He did not have the time to send him to Sofia's children's home, however, and asked Elisa to take care of it. Elisa, despite having a child of her own, could not help but become attatched to Dimitri. She cleaned him, coddled him, and after some puppy dog eyes and banana loaf, convinced Viktor to adopt him. They sent him to school, where he excelled, though not as much as Katia. He made it to grade four, becoming quite popular with the ladies, though he didn't much appreciate it (Cootie ridden as they were).
This, however, was when Elisa's health took a turn for the worse. She managed to hold on for four months, but inevitably passed away.
Viktor could not handle it. He withdrew within himself, locking himself up in his study and bedroom for hours at a time. His brother Erik realized that he was in no condition to care for Katia or Dimitri, and sent his daughter, Kali, to help.
She descended upon them like a bilzzard, giving Viktor no slack and no pity. He was furious, and for a while, hated her. He didn't want her in his house.
But she stayed, and cared for Katia and Dimitri when Viktor was unable to. As stubborn as all of the Kovaks seem to be, she confronted him, and forced him to face the harsh reality that he was neglecting his children; the only thing left of his family.
It turned into an explosive argument, but as the dust settled, Viktor returned to himself and Kali went home in under a year.
Viktor took over Katia's schooling; in the time that he had been 'gone', she and Kali had decided that the school system was beneath her and started an assisted Home-Schooling program. He resumed work from home for his father in law's company, occasionally going in when needed.
A year later, Elisa's father stepped down from his position, and Viktor took the company. Many disagreed with how he ran it, though it has become even more successful than it already was. As the value and business rose, the naysayers dropped away, though some are still furiously clinging to their expectations for failure.
Just two yeras after she left, Kali returned to their home, with nowhere else to go. Her parents were feuding like children, and she knew it was not a good place to be right now. Even though she is, techically, old enough to care for herself, they were so focused on their own problems that they were neglecting her severely. Viktor was furious when he found out, and sent a very angry message to his brother, letting him know that when he knew how to care for a child, he could have his back. This message came in the form of a fist to the face, followed by a messy brawl at their grandfather's house. Axel didn't stop them. They haven't spoken to each other since; and Erik has made no attempt to get his daughter back.


★ {MY OWN SENSE OF SELF }


Viktor is a little rough around the edges, but lovable all the same. Outwardly, he maintains a stalwart appearance, but inside he is a great big, soft teddybear, something Katia knows very well.
He is usually cheerful around those who know him, likes a good joke, and a good prank, something that saves Dimitri from trouble very often. However, since his wife's death, he has become more surly and more withdrawn from the world. Katia is one who can always cheer him up; and Kali is the one who takes the alcohol away from him.
When angered, he is a violent man, preferring fists to words. This is one reason he does not fit in with the business world; as opposed to sending a well worded letter to an employee he was firing, he punched him in the face and threw him out the (first floor) window. He is also very, VERY protective of his remaining family; this is why he has such an extreme dislike for Lance. he does not trust easily, and is constantly suspicious of everyone. Especially people around Katia. She is the main focus of his protective shell, and though he tries not to do this, she is clearly his favorite child.
Some would say he is easily manipulated, due to the stranglehold Katia has on him; He is wrapped around her little finger, and will do absolutely anything for him. In this case, they would be extremely right. Kali is also a weak point in his armor, though in any other case, Viktor is not so easily swayed. He is as hard-headed as his daughter, which was perhaps the only reason he was able to live with Elisa and her own stubborn determination. The stone-headedness seems to run in the Kovak family, as well as a sense of pride large enough to choke a horse. This is a very different thing than ego, though Viktor has one of those too.

★ {I WANT MORE }


• CABBAGE
  Viktor was practically raised on this stuff, and while this would have deterred most people, he has not developed a distaste for it. In fact, he loves it.
  
• A GOOD FIGHT
  Whether on TV or something he is participating in, Viktor loves a good fight. It lets out stress, anger, and it's hellishly entertaining.
  
• COLD WEATHER
  Being as naturally warm as he is, Viktor appreciates weather that doesn't make him sweat like a sinner in church.
  
• INTIMIDATING PEOPLE
  It would be a lie to say that Viktor does not enjoy the effect he has on people.
  
• FAMILY
  He loves and is very protective of all his family; except, perhaps, Erik.


★ {(language of your choice) THROW IT OUT }


• LOSING THE TV REMOTE
  Viktor hates to not have control of the TV, and when he loses the remote, he loses this control. This may have something to do with him suddenly being unable to change it from a soap opera to monster trucks when someone comes in.
  
• FLAMBOUYANT PEOPLE
  Coming from a fairly traditional family, Viktor likes traditional things. This does not include people who wear bright pink sparkle eyeshadow and hooker clothing to the supermarket. This also does not include people who draw attention to themselves for no reason other than that they didn't get enough hugs as a child. He has no time for such people.
  
• BEING WRONG
  Perhaps it is the Kovak bull headed pride showing, but Viktor cannot stand to be wrong. Mostly this is because it rarely happens, but when it does, he absolutely cannot bear it. Not that he throws fits. He just sulks a bit.
  
• DOCTORS
  Viktor doesn't exactly dislike doctors; more that he does not trust them. Since being told that Elisa had made a miraculous recovery and that she should live to a ripe old age, and yet she died anyways, Viktor has not put much stock into what a Physician says unless he has at least twelve others backing him up.
  
• STIFFS
  No, not corpses. Viktor doesn't have a problem with those. What he has a problem with is people like Markham, who think they are better than the lower class simply because they have more money.


★ {GET IT AWAY }


• LOSING KATIA
  Viktor fears losing any member of his mis-matched and patched together family; but most of all he fears losing Katia. Her illness as an infant still haunts him, and at any injury she recieves he is choked by a chill fear. He is most protective of her, out of anyone else. Perhaps because she so closely resembles her mother.
  
• FAILURE
  Perhaps due to pride, or his self doubt, Viktor fears failure most of all. Failure as a father, failure as a guardian, failure as a man... He has failed once before, and he does not want to do it again. He has something to prove, though he does not know who he is trying to prove it to.

★ { IMMENSE STRENGTH }


• INTELLIGENCE
  Viktor is smarter than your average bear, though he does not look it. Truly, he seems to be more brawn than brains, but it may surprize you to learn that he has both; and he knows how to use them.
  
• BRAVERY
  Viktor is never, ever one to back down from a fight. Ever. Some could see this as a weakness, but for him, it is a strength.
  
• STRENGTH
  Viktor is every bit as strong as he looks, and he's not afraid to use it.



★ { TAKE ME DOWN }


• PRIDE
  His pride will ultimately be his downfall. Never one to admit defeat, even when it is imminent, help must be forced upon him for him to accept it.
  
• FAMILY
  Perhaps not his extended family, but Katia, Dimitri, and Kali. He would do anything for them; especially Katia.
  
• HIS PAST
  Despite his current status in high society, Viktor is and always will be a factory boy. Rough and tumble to the end, he doesn't quite know how to function with these 'hoity toity' types. It sets him apart from them; and oftentimes, though he will not admit to it, beneath them. He is constantly on his toes to keep this weakness at bay.

★ {SECRET LIVES }


• SOAP OPERAS
  Yes, it's true. Viktor has a guilty pleasure; and it is Soap Operas. He watches them faithfully, though he will never let anyone know. It is his best kept secret.
  
• JEALOUSY
  He may not act like it, but Viktor is jealous of a lot of people; Markham, for not having to have been raised in the slums of Aekea. His brother, Erik, for still being true to his roots. And most of all, everyone whose wife did not die. He might be a bit bitter about that.
  
• MAGIC
  Viktor's magic is not like that of his other family members; his does not require spells or incantations, it just comes to him, aiding his healing and his strength.

★ {MAGICAL STUDIES }


• STRENGTH
  As opposed to requiring spells, Viktor's magic naturally amplifies his body's own strength. It easily surpasses that of the Aekean orcs, though on a bad day he is at least on par with them.
  
• HEALING
  Like it amplifies his strength, Viktor's magic also speeds along his body's natural healing ability. He does not heal instantaneously, unless it is a paper cut, and he still feels pain, but he will heal much faster than a regular human would.

★ {(language of your choice) TO HOLD ;; TO OWN }


• MacBeth
  
  The first book that Elisa got him, in University, Viktor has kept it ever since. He reads it around the time of year that she died, and keeps it by his bedside at all times. There is a photo of Elisa inside, which he seems to use as a book mark.
  
• Long Sword
  
  A real, and rather sharp sword that Viktor keeps above his mantle. His father smithed one for each of his sons when they were younger. Viktor takes great joy in using it to frighten people, like, say, Lance, who want to have anything to do with his female descendants.
