* Misha, the protagonist of several short stories from Creator/SergeyLukyanenko's sci-fi collection ''The Beautiful Faraway'', is a teenager[=/=]young man who was genetically engineered to have a [[SuperSenses supremely acute sense of smell]] - so acute, in fact, that his own brain cannot fully interpret the vast variety of scents his nose can pick, and it overflows into his other senses. Thus, Misha perceives smells as combinations of visual, audio and tactile data (sometimes including pain), and may describe a particular smell as "purple, coarse and rattling". He's intended to become the world's greatest chemist who would be able to synthesize most complex substances, most importantly a compound that is theorized to enhance the abilities of the setting's psyonics up to PsychicSurgery levels. A flashback reveals he's actually already managed to synthesize it - only to discover that to him, said compound just happens to smell like ''agony''.
