Voin

Sergei Grekov, also known as Voin was an alt who was the leader of the Kremlin's Slava Rossii unit that it used as a superpowered elite force both home and away. Voin was known for his calm demeanour, patient attitude and known for being one of the most stable alts ever created. Voin became the everyday poster boy for Slava Rossii.

### **History**

Sergei was born in Moscow in 1980 into a military family who were always close with the Kremlin, the Grekovs had served Russia's military for decades as far back as the Decemberist Revolt, it was fair to say that war was in Sergei's blood; His father Kirill was a member of the KGB and his mother Yulia a Spetznaz operative. He grew up learning from a very young age about tactics, war and it's history, and weapon usage,

By 1999 Sergei became a Spetznaz agent, and one of the best ever trained, especially excelling in unarmed combat and tactical expertise that he quickly became the youngest colonel in the Russian Forces at 21 just a few years later, so young that many older members had trouble following his orders.

In 2005 Sergei was recruited by the Kremlin's Slava Rossii programme to become something even greater as part of the "Voin Naroda" (lit- "Warrior of the People") project, though they warned him the experience would be painful and he may not even survive; should he, Sergei would become something beyond human.

Scientists Nestor Kuznetsov and Theodore Lind started work genetically altering Sergei's DNA using Dedov Chemlab's facilities, using some of the most brutal and painful chemical methods ever created, so much so that Sergei had to be resuscitated three times during the intense "activation" process that forced the alterations to activate by what was essentially physical torture combined with intensive exercise.

Despite everything, Sergei's remarkable willpower and determination pulled him through and Kuznetsov and Lind agreed that Grekov had one of the most focused and strongest minds, and after the success of the gene therapy, showed very little signs of permanent mental trauma. Lind believes that this may have had an indirect chemical result on the stability of his alterations, requiring only a small NHX stability supplement once every 6 months.

During training with his newfound powers the Kremlin were so impressed with his skills and abilities they replaced Bora as the leader of Slava Rossii with Voin, something Bora did not take likely.

Voin led attacks on VALER in Crimea in 2014 and later in 2015 led a spying mission to internally hack the Pentagon from a shopping mall Apple store, using Bora as bait; it was Voin's decision to leave him to eventually be incarcerated in Tartarus while they got away.

Sergei became Rossii's unwavering leader for years until in 2020 Voin's healing ability began to take an unusual turn, leaving him scarred; though these scars would be virtually indestructible, seemed to affect his self-image, causing Sergei to become unusually insular. He later took to renaming himself Schram (Scar) and taking secret missions for private contractors.

Eventually he seemed to vanish all together, forcing what remained of Rossii to turn back to Bora, still imprisoned at Tartarus, and tried to have him released to hunt down Sergei who may have fled to America.

Dedov Chemlab already had a backup, however, and began to invest instead in what they called the Champion Project.

### **Appearance**

Sergei was a tall, well-built young-faced Caucasian man, clean shaven with well-defined facial features, pale skin, brown eyes and short hair dark brown hair, he often wore sports tracksuits denoting his 'gopnik' subculture; though he himself was not from a particularly poor or ill-educated background, in fact quite the opposite, many of his old army friend were. He is often said as having very little facial expression and having an unblinking stare of pure concentration at all times as if analysing everything continuously.

### **Personality**

Even from a young age Sergei was independent, highly intelligent, resourceful, naturally fearless and analytical. He is known for his calm demeanour and has never been seen flustered or overtly angry in any circumstance; his alt powers have simply enhanced this to unparalleled levels, leading to some members of Slava Rossii to view him as almost emotionless and stone-like; the Kremlin in particular seemed to like this about him.

### **Powers and Abilities**

#### **Powers**

Sergei was an alt, genetically enhanced by Dr Kuznetsov and Lind to possess superhuman abilities, he was one of the more successful and stable alts ever created.

**Enhanced Condition:** Sergei possessed an enhancement of almost every physical and mental ability possessed by him as a normal human to just-above-peak conditions; these abilities were not massively superhuman, but enough to allow him to have more than the edge in almost any situation. Some of these aspects seemed to be enhanced more than others, some of these abilities included:

* ***Enhanced Accuracy:*** The activity in his brain centre for aim and accuracy drastically improved he can precisely hit targets from extreme distances and at increased reflex and only needs need only to aim for an instant before he can accurately hit a target with a projectile.
* ***Enhanced Agility, Dexterity and Athleticism:*** He can fluidly move with speed and finesse from one motion to the next almost without thinking, enabling to have the edge in physical combat and avoidance and allowing him to preform superhuman acrobatic manoeuvres as if second-nature. He can precisely control all of his muscles almost mechanically with limited or no strain on tendons.
* ***Enhanced Awareness and Senses:*** Both his senses, and his mental awareness of his surroundings through these enhanced senses are dramatically increased, allowing him to even detect and process movement in air and sense people or objects in his near vicinity. He can analyse scents from the atmosphere, hear broader and crisper ranges of sound and process more light than the average human, giving him night vision.
* ***Enhanced Balance:*** He had an incredibly steady sense of equilibrium and could balance and move upon thin surfaces or edges, this also gave him immunity to disorientation and counter destabilisation with ease.
* ***Enhanced Charisma:*** Despite his nearly emotionless personality and serious demeanour at all times, he is credited with having such a charm with others that he can easily gain their trust and loyalty, even in the face of multiple betrayals, almost every time
* ***Enhanced Concentration:*** His overall concentration is dialled up to allow him to preform to maximum efficiency in nearly all areas, be it in combat or more mundane tasks, and allows him to ignore distractions or be ware of surrounding changes without sacrificing what he is concentrating on at the time.

* ***Enhanced Durability*:** He could survive blunt impacts, falls and generally being thrown about much easier than any normal human.
* ***Enhanced Flexibility:*** He could move, contort and flex his body in almost impossible ways, painlessly dislocate joints and reconnect them at will, enabling him to bend his joints in ways no other normal human can.
* ***Enhanced Health and Healing:*** Both in terms of physical and mental health and and accelerated healing factor, this was one of Voin's most powerful abilities and could recover from serious injury much faster than any normal human. He was highly resistant to toxins and poisons, radiation, infections and diseases.
* ***Enhanced Intelligence:*** Sergei's brain functions faster and more precisely than most humans, allowing him a number of increased mental capabilities, including memory, calculation, perception, increased wits and cunning.
* ***Enhanced Stamina:*** He can preform exercise and physical actions much longer than any normal human, producing minimal toxins that cause muscular pain and balancing out his cardiovascular system at all times.
* ***Enhanced Strength:*** While not enormously superhuman compared to some, Voin's strength is still considered above peak, allowing him to lift roughly 2090 to 3000 lbs, enough to lift a medium-sized car with full effort.

#### **Abilities**

* ***Spetznaz Training:*** He spent years in the Russian military and special forces becoming one of their most brilliant soldiers where he learned a great deal about tactics, fighting and military manoeuvres.
* **Military Connections:** He has a number of connections, particularly military procurement and contractors that allow him various resources without relying on the Kremlin.
* ***Weaponsmaster:*** He was highly skilled in the use of multiple firearms, from handguns to sniper rifles, as well as knives and daggers.
* ***Martial Artist:*** He was a supremely proficient hand-to-hand combatant, and a master at several styles of kung fu.
* ***Brilliant Tactician:*** He was an incredibly skilled tactician and battle analyst
* ***Computer and Software Master:*** One of his most surprising skills was that he had something of an intuition for understanding computers and became one of Russian's greatest hackers; a lot of his missions actually involved hacking networks on-site,
* **Infiltration Expert and Spymaster:** He was extremely efficient and skilled at gaining access to areas and domains most can't through technical expertise, connections or general charm. He was highly adept at gathering secret information without the knowledge of others or governments.
