From the frigid steppes of Glorious Mother Russia.
Loves 90's video games, Europop, kick-ass action movies, superhero films, medieval music, Renaissance, Baroque and Enlightenment literature and Scholastic philosophy.
Does not drink vodka.
Speaks surprisingly good English, and three more languages.
Is writing a boring thesis on three Spanish 18-th century authors you've never heard about.
A living subversion of many Russian tropes, дорогой товарищ.
This troper provides examples of the following tropes:
- Camp Straight: Engages in flamboyant and extravagant behaviour.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander
- Deadpan Snarker: Prides himself on his ability to wisecrack and engage in sarcastic banter while keeping a straight face.
- Dull Surprise / Large Ham: Does not have a "medium" mode, it's either mumbling and blank stares or over-the-top bombast.
- Genre Savvy
- My Country, Right or Wrong / Patriotic Fervor: Engages in this from time to time.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Adores big and unusual words...
- Sophisticated as Hell:... and mixes them with teenage lingo...
- Shlubb and Klump English:... meaning that sometimes he might sound like that.
- The Snark Knight: Treats everything with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
- Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Subverted. The troper's quirky mannerisms keep him from being Mr. Fanservice, despite belonging to this trope.
- Tall, Dark, and Snarky
- Unexpected Reactions to This Index: Is such a weird collection of tropes that frequently leaves people nonplussed about how to classify him.
- Younger Than He Looks / Older Than He Looks: Usually mistaken for being 5 years either older or younger than his actual age (go figure).
