## Biography

### Backstory

Dima was born and raised in Barnaul, Russia. During his childhood he found a hobby in playing video games and creating DYOM mission packs. However, his home country did not offer him the best opportunities in pursuing a DYOM career, which is why he decided to move to the United States right at the start of his young adult life.

### Events of Dima Stories

#### Act 1

Dima first appears when he arrives to the Los Santos International Airport after his long flight from Russia. Shortly after getting a taxi, he engages in conversation with the driver who tells him that despite the US having a reputation for being "the land of freedom", life might not be much easier here than back home. Dima shrugs this off, and after arriving to his rented house in Grove Street, he is greeted by Geddy who appears to be the landlord of the property. After Geddy shows him around, Dima agrees to a monthly obligation of $1000 despite not being fully satisfied with the house.

After getting settled in, Dima reaffirms his financial goals: funding his college education, paying off his rent and also purchasing a PS5 in the future. Knowing this, he decides to get two jobs and begins his trip by stealing a vehicle nearby. After visiting both the Cluckin' Bell in Willowfield and The Well Stacked Pizza in Idlewood, he gets hired at both fast food restaurants. Dima then concludes that stealing vehicles is not a sustainable way of transportation, after which he makes his way to Verona Beach where he purchases the most expensive mountain bike right before driving back home with it.

The next day, Dima goes to Switzerland College for the first time. After asking around, he is directed to the principal's office where he meets Walter. Principal Walter reviews Dima's enrollment papers and finally admits him to the college, despite it being the last week before summer break. Dima then makes his way to Classroom 8D where he is greeted by Teacher and a group of students. Teacher assesses that some of his students are from the Baltics, and whilst acknowledging the tense relations between the Baltics and Russia, Teacher suggests that Dima is welcomed by the other students regardless.

After class, Dima then makes his way to DYOM Class with the other students. DYOM Teacher, who is the supervisor of the class, assigns the students to make some gang-themed missions, which Dima shrugs off as easy due to having made a gang-themed mission pack before. After DYOM Teacher dismisses everyone at the end of his class, the students go to have lunch at the cafeteria. Dima purchases a plate of food and decides to go sit next to the table where the students from the Baltics are. Dima engages in conversation with Kovas, Laucube and Martin. After discussing their preferred video games, Dima states to the group that the PS5 is the best console despite not yet being released, to which the group laughs. After coming back home, Geddy meets Dima again and asks him about his first day at college. Geddy also mentions that Kovas is Geddy's brother, after which Dima describes Kovas in a positive light.

After classes the next day, Dima once again sits at lunch with Kovas' group and strikes in more conversation, after which the group is becoming more fond of having him around. Shortly after leaving the college, Dima goes to work where he serves food at the counter. During his shift, Chris makes a surprise visit to Dima at the counter. Chris explains that he knew where Dima works through Martin Strada, and shortly afterward threatens Dima to give him some money. Although enraged, Dima complies and Chris leaves the area. After work, Dima decides to go to the nearby stadium where he watches a car racing event before eventually coming back home.

The next day Kovas, Laucube and Martin are in DYOM Class and decide to play *Counter-Strike: Global Offensive* on their PC's. Although it breaks the rules, Dima agrees to play along and they have a competitive match. After playing through most of the game, Dima stands with a better in-game score than Martin and this is loudly pointed out by Laucube, which enrages Martin. After Martin loses a critical round which results in a team defeat, he resorts to insulting Dima. Dima in turn offers Martin a real fight. Martin tries to avoid it, but is eventually pressured to accept by Kovas.

After Teacher announces the exam results, it becomes apparent that the whole group of students received the highest grade, including Dima. Teacher compliments Dima for his result considering he's been at the college only for a week. After this, the summer break is announced.

Few hours later, Dima and most of Teacher's students find themselves at the Ganton Gym, where the fight between Dima and Martin is planned to take place. Most of the crowd seems to be in support for Dima, cheering him on as Kovas introduces both fighters. Kovas gives Dima the nickname "PS5 Menace", while Martin is labeled "The Future E-Sports Player". Shortly afterwards, both of them fight. Martin puts up a fierce resistance, but the fight eventually ends with a vicious knockout victory for Dima.

After the fight, Dima meets Kovas outside, who congralutates him for his victory and invites him to KCO, the group lead by Kovas. Dima accepts the invitation and effectively becomes a new member of the group.

KCO later meets at Grove Street, where Dima is offered to participate in a bicycle race hosted by the Vagos to win some money. Dima accepts the offer and is guided by Laucube to the race. After arriving, Dima gets into position with a few other cyclists. The Vagos host explains that victory will be secured if the record time is beaten. Shortly afterwards, the race begins. While driving through most of East Los Santos, Dima manages to ride his bike fast enough to arrive first at the finish line. The Vagos host gives him a whopping $700, which Dima claims is more than he earns at his jobs. Dima calls Tong to notify him of the win and after that he leaves the area.

The next day, Dima goes to the Green Bottles bar in Ganton to meet with Geddy. Dima asks him for more high-paying legal work, to which Geddy replies that there is not much legal opportunity where he's concerned. Geddy, however, offers him to participate in a shooting range to win some money in a bet. Dima is reluctant at first, but decides to try it. They make their way to the range in Willowfield where they meet Clyde, the local owner of the range. Dima places two consecutively increasing bets and successfully takes out multiple targets in a timed window, winning the bets and earning even more money. After this, Geddy offers him his car to drive back home which Dima does.

#### Act 2

Now two weeks after he first arrived to Los Santos, Dima once again participates in Clyde's shooting range, this time without Geddy. Dima bets $100 and Clyde tasks him to destroy a vehicle in under a minute. After doing so, Dima wins and receives his money, but is criticized by Clyde for using his range as a new regular method of income. Clyde offers Dima to work for one of his clients, Ford, who owns a farm in the countryside and usually comes to the range to buy guns. Dima considers the offer and then goes to Geddy and Kovas, who are at the skate park. Dima gives Geddy his rent money and tells him he no longer needs his accomodation as he is leaving for the countryside. Kovas directs him to a bus which can take him to Palomino Creek. Dima goes there, gets on a bus and departs for the countryside.

After arrival, Dima makes his way to Ford's farm where he meets him whilst he is farming mangoes. Dima tells Ford that he is looking for work and was sent by Clyde, who Ford recognizes and soon after accepts Dima's offer for work. He also offers Dima a room to live in during his work, which Dima accepts.

The following day Dima is woken up early in the morning by Ford. The farmer explains to him that he should get used to the new schedule, and he gives Dima a lot of work, in the form of harvesting wheat, collecting mangoes and delivering them to town. After finishing all of his work, Dima earns $30. The following day after some work, he meets Eva Roberts, who appears to be Ford's wife. Mrs. Roberts offers Dima to go on a ride to catch some fish. Dima agrees to it, and after spending roughly half an hour at the spot, Dima earns some more money for the day.

After some more work the next day, Ford leaves the farm for reasons unbeknownst to the rest. Dima asks Mrs. Roberts whether he can go see the PS5 reveal at the local Internet Cafe, to which she agrees. After arriving, Dima and a few other anticipating fans of the console are impatiently waiting for the console to be revealed. After the people finally see the console, Dima is satisfied and is even more interested in getting it.

While Dima and Mrs. Roberts are working at the farm, Ford's wife hears on the news that there has been a robbery at a bank in Las Venturas. She presumes that her husband might have been involved in this, fearing that he might have been killed or busted. However, Ford coincidentally appears soon after these words and Dima immediately learns that his employer is a bank robber. Ford gives Dima one last job - to burn down the ranch with a flamethrower. Dima is shocked at the news, but proceeds to do as he is told. At the end of it, Dima is paid 80 thousand dollars for helping burn down the farm. Soon after, Ford's accomplice Andrew comes to the farm to pick up Dima and take him back to Grove Street.

The next day after his return to Los Santos, Dima decides to get his driver's license at the nearest driving school. Dima gets in on the exam, doing various unconventional driving lessons such as drifting and stunt-jumping, and then a timed drive to the end of the city. After all of this, Dima finally acquires his driver's license.

After getting his license, Dima decides to buy a motorbike. He drives to East Los Santos where he meets a Mexican selling various bikes. Dima picks out a blue BF-400 and uses some of the money he got from Ford to pay for it. After this, Dima moves out of Geddy's rental house and drives to a new apartment building in Downtown Los Santos. There he is shown around by a manager and decides to buy the apartment. Later, Dima meets Clyde at the Well Stacked Pizza in Idlewood where he used to work and tells Clyde that he should come to a party in Dima's new apartment, to which Clyde agrees.

### Events of Dario Stories

#### Chapter 1

A year later during the new school year after the summer break, Dima is seen in Classroom 8D soon after Dario arrives to Switzerland College and is greeted by Teacher.

Sometime later, Dima participates in Rudy's PE class where the fight between Dario and Laucube takes place in a similar fashion seen before between Dima and Martin. Just like the others, Dima laughs at Dario for crying at his corner before the fight.

After Dario's departure from Los Santos after his house is burned down, Dima is seen in DYOM Class while Kovas, Laucube and Martin are playing *Counter-Strike* again. This time, however, Dima did not participate in the gaming session as he was seen sitting remotely further from the group, probably performing tasks given to the class by DYOM Teacher.

Sometime after Dario finishes his class with Teacher, he sees Chris ambush Dima at the hallway in an attempt to steal some of Dima's money that he is saving up for the PS5. Dima complies shortly after Chris reveals a knife.

The next day, Dima is among Kovas' group when Tong and AznKei approach them about Dario robbing AznKei's YouTube earnings again. The group conversation is interrupted when Principal Walter tells the group to get ready for the Shady Creeks trip. Dima is enthusiastic about the trip and swears in the process, shortly before being shut down by Walter, who says he will "clean his mouth with soap". Just like the rest of KCO, Dima plans to go on the trip.

Dima and the group later get on a bus near the college and are transported to Angel Pine, where they seperate from the rest of the students and are now supervised by Teacher. They take a hiking trip towards a bridge in Shady Creeks and, upon arrival, are ambushed by Dario and his hired Serbian Sailors. The group is held at gunpoint. While Tong and AznKei are taken by Dario, the Sailors are about to open fire on Dima and the group, however, the Sailors are ambushed by Geddy and Mario. Dima, Kovas, Laucube and Razor successfully jump down into the river below the bridge and escape the scene.

#### Chapter 2

After the group of four find themselves washed up and collapsed on a shore next morning in the middle of Shady Creeks, Kovas decides to embark on a mission to somehow find Tong, AznKei and Dario. Meanwhile, Dima is the last one to get off the ground before announcing that he lost his wallet that contained the money for his PS5. Kovas shrugs this off and tells him to get up and move on.

The same day after sunset, Dima, Laucube and Razor are at a campfire they built in the woods, talking about Dima's obsession with the PS5. Laucube and Razor question Dima's reasoning for getting the console, as Dima intends to play the same games again. While Dima struggles to find an answer, he also says that he's hungry, however Razor dismisses this, incinuating that they will not find food here. The conversation is interrupted when Kovas brings the Serbian Sailors' leader he captured in the woods back to the camp. While Kovas has him at gunpoint with his own AK-47, the sailor explains that Dario had organized the ambush when asked by Dima. After the group learns of Tong's and AznKei's location being San Fierro, Kovas knocks out the leader and the group leave him at the campfire to go after the remaining sailor escapees.

After the group arrive at the gas station and spot the remaining group of sailors, Kovas suggests that he should kill them to ensure the sailors do not come after KCO later on. Dima is skeptical of the idea, questioning Kovas' decision to murder someone, but Kovas moves on with his choice and kills the sailors. Shortly afterward, the group secretly get in the back of a truck and are en route to San Fierro unbeknownst to the driver.

After arrival to the Eastern Basin Docks, Dima and the group come across a garage with a significant amount of illegally imported cars. Kovas is slightly hinting at stealing a vehicle, therefore Dima once again questions whether it is smart to steal a vehicle as that could result in them being sent to prison. Razor dismisses Dima's theory as he reaffirms that the cars are illegal imports. After Kovas locates an unlocked car, Dima and the rest are ambushed by security guards who found them trying to rob the garage. A huge brawl ensues, but KCO manage to hold their own and make off with the vehicle after beating up the security guards. Kovas drives Dima, Laucube and Razor to the north of San Fierro where they finally meet Mario, who explains to the group that it was he and Geddy who saved them on the Shady Creeks bridge.

A few days later with the help of Lionel, KCO finally locate Tong's and AznKei's location, which appears to be an abandoned factory in Doherty. While the group is gearing up with the weapons Kovas and Seygull acquired in a van, Dima surprisingly finds a PS5 console inside of it and is overly enthusiastic about it. However, Mario interrupts the scene by kicking the console right out of Dima's hands, making Dima burst out of emotion. Soon after, Dima and the group leave for the factory heavily armed.

After they had come to the factory, Lionel, Dima and the rest of KCO are met with an underestimated amount of enemies, as the warehouse had been guarded by the Gay Gang which had been employed by Dario through Bukas The Cringelord. Despite the outnumbering force, Dima and the rest manage to deal with all of the enemies outside and inside of the factory, finally rescuing Tong and AznKei.

After returning to Mario's garage, the group finally decides to return to Los Santos in an effort to continue their studies, thus Dima, Kovas, Laucube, Tong, Razor and AznKei go to the airport in San Fierro where Dima takes the first flight alongside Razor and AznKei and departs, although Kovas, Laucube and Tong stay behind because of the secret phonecall they had received to go to Tierra Robada.

#### Chapter 3

Dima, the rest of KCO, Detective Lionel, several students and teachers from Switzerland College attend the funeral of Martin Strada and Teacher in Los Santos after news had struck that they have been killed by Dario and Nicholas shortly after the events of San Fierro. During the funeral, Bukas and his gang of hitmen ambush the scene in an effort to kill Kovas and his friends. Dima, alongside the rest of KCO, and Lionel repel the enemy attack, wounding Bukas and slaying most of his hitmen. As Bukas escapes the scene with one of his goons in a car, Kovas, Laucube, Tong and AznKei chase after them. Meanwhile, Dima and the rest have probably fled the area soon after the shootout to avoid law enforcement.

A few days later, Dima is with Kovas, Laucube, Tong, AznKei and Razor at a volleyball field in Vinewood. Dima says that the group should get some food together, but Laucube dismisses this as Dima is not even playing with the rest. The group are soon interrupted by Dario who suddenly showcases a series of photoshopped projector screens on a billboard. These projections show fabricated photographs of KCO being involved in the murder of Teacher and Detective Norris. Dima himself is seen standing over Teacher's body next to Kovas and Laucube. Lionel, who just arrived to the area guided by Spyder, quickly marks Dima and the rest of KCO as suspects. Shortly after, the police attempt to gun down KCO but the group fire back, killing several police officers. This eventually results in everyone escaping the scene except for Dima, who is tackled and handcuffed by Lionel and immediately arrested.

While Kovas, Laucube, Tong and AznKei are residing in a hideout in Fort Carson, Dima is seen interrogated by Lionel in a police department back in Los Santos. Dima attempts to reason that he was not behind the killing of Teacher and Norris, however, Lionel does not believe his statements and promises charges that could result in 20 years to life in prison. Dima reacts to this by crying.

Sometime later, Dima goes through a court hearing where he is sentenced to imprisonment. While he is being transported with a prison bus, Razor and Seygull ambush it after finding it's location with the help of a stolen prison transfer schedule. Dima is broken out of the prison bus and taken by Razor and Seygull to supposedly safe location where Dima thanks his saviors for rescuing him. Shortly after, the police ambushes the trio and Razor and Seygull are forced to fend off the attackers while Dima hides out in the car. After having cleared most of the attackers, Razor and Seygull get back in the vehicle and flee the scene. Seygull concludes that him, Razor and Dima must come up with a plan to show the state that Dario's projections were nothing but lies.

Sometime after acquiring a projector of their own, Dima, Seygull and Razor ambush Dario's speech back in Vinewood with projections of Dario's malicious activities, showcasing how Dario is the one with toxic tendencies. Lionel then announces the arrest of Dario shortly before the latter manages to escape the scene with Nicholas. Meanwhile, Dima, Seygull and Razor are ambushed by several cringedeviants at the projector. After successfully defending themselves, they flee the scene.

#### Chapter 4

The next day after Dario escapes to Las Venturas, Dima, the rest of KCO and Lionel secretly meet in the parking lot of a shopping mall in the city. Lionel explains to the team that despite Dario being the provocator of the conflict, Dima and the others are still effectively wanted by the police for the murder of multiple officers back in Vinewood during Lionel's attempted arrest. Lionel, however, provides the group with an opportunity to help him finish Dario and Nicholas while Lionel ensures that he is promoted and then he would secure transportation for the group out of San Andreas to flee the law. The group accepts the offer.

Not long after Spyder flees the city with a plane and Geddy following right behind him, the group now knows of Dario's location, which is at the Caligulas' Casino. Back at the parking lot, Lionel reaffirms his conditions for the deal with KCO, but Kovas insists that he shall be the one to personally take down Bukas. Dima volunteers to join Kovas in the venture and they both head to a railyard where they ambush a cringedeviant group. After intense fighting, Bukas appears at the scene with his Hunter attack helicopter and presses Kovas and Dima with aerial attacks. Eventually, while Dima is firing at Bukas' helicopter, he is ambushed from the back and incapacitated in a surprise attack by a cringedeviant. Several of Bukas' goons then put on a beatdown on Dima, severely injuring him. Kovas is held at gunpoint and is about to be executed.

    The scene is, however, interrupted by a rocket strike from Walter and Rudy at Bukas' attack helicopter. After the chopper is downed and the goons are taken out by the pair, Kovas is released and Dima is left lying on the ground. Kovas, Walter and Rudy approach Dima and they realize that he needs serious medical help. Rudy insists that Kovas should return back to Tong to participate in the battle against Dario and Nicholas, while him and Walter promise to take Dima to the hospital. After putting Dima in a station wagon, Walter and Rudy drive away while Kovas goes back to his group.

After KCO successfully assaulted the Caligulas' Casino and got Dario and Nicholas arrested, Kovas and Laucube pay a visit to the hospital in Las Venturas where Dima is being treated. The doctor explains that Dima has not yet recovered from his injuries as he is still in a coma. While visiting him, Laucube ominously notices that there had been a PS5 gifted by Dima's parents left on the table. He wastes no time and kicks it off the table before fleeing the room with Dima. After the visit, Dima's condition remains unknown.
