Your Age: I've decided I won't be coy about my age: I'm 32.

Country/Time Zone: ECT - And since it's going to come up sooner or later anyway: I'm from Germany

A short introduction: I studied with Ricky and Chris, and Ricky has charmingly press-ganged me into joining the game. She knows I can't really resist an interesting character in an interesting situation. One other thing I should probably mention is that most other posts will probably be written be my Secretary Dragon, a little red Chinese dragon who jumps up and down on the keyboard to my dictation unless he gets his own ideas. (I use Dragon Naturally Speaking) I'll always proofread but I might not always catch some of Dragon's weirder ideas. So if anything in my posts is really, really weird, ASK ME.

Any previous RPGs: I guess the answer to that one is "Not really", apart from one session of a German pen and paper roleplaying game and some one-on-ones with Ricky.

Fanfic you've written: I'm not a writer, I'm a reader.
 Other references: I do naalbinding and origami sometimes, but as of yet no pictures. Maybe I'll upload a pair of not-quite-matching socks later.

Your character: "Just Driver" - Nikolai Luzhin

Fandom he's from: Eastern Promises.

Why did you pick him: He's an interesting guy. Or should that be "interesting"? I also asked Ms. Marple, but she was too busy pushing up the daisies. She said she couldn't be spared.

How did he get to Lower Tadfield: He's looking for a real estate - His boss believes that the Transsiberian restaurant needs to branch out and took a liking to the manor. Nikolai is supposed to convince Adam to sell.

What will he do when he gets there?: He'll look around, assess things and the inhabitants. 
Anything else you'd like to tell us: Nikolai is an FSB agent who's currently on loan to Scotland Yard to investigate the Russian Mafia in London undercover. He is/was the driver of the boss's son but managed to maneuver the boss into prison and is now in fact acting chief, although nominally still his boss's (i.e. the former boss's son's) junior partner.
Like all vory, he wears the story of his life and crimes on his body in the form of tattoos, though they probably were somewhat prettier before they got cut up rather badly in a knife fight. For those who can read them, his tattoos mark him as king of the thieves and an accomplished assassin. The only tattoos that are visible when he's fully dressed are the ones on the knuckles and back of his hands.
He wears immaculate Armani suits at all times and usually matching sunglasses.
He drives a sleek, black Mercedes. Don't ask me about the model. Ask him. He knows.
