## Profile

Kliment "Tailwind" Novikov is a student at Jericho Heights Secondary School. He is a low-performing student in terms of academics, but excels in the fields of music, sport, and critical thinking. He is a Petty Officer 1st Class at Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps 361 "Kitsilano," and specialises in marksmanship and sail. He is high achieving throughout the Cadet program.

Known as a very calm decision maker, he often finds himself pushing along choices for other people, similar to how the wind may push a boat forward without the need to paddle, earning him the name "Tailwind."

It is rumoured that Kliment is related to a Russian war hero.

## Appearance

Kliment is a young boy with blue eyes, brown hair, and of short stature. He is often seen wearing jeans, printed T-shirts, as well as a black and white varsity jacket with the symbols of his hockey team on it.

During the evenings when he's attending Cadets, you can find him wearing the signature white top, black uniform, and shiny boots in which the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets wear. He has recently gotten a new shirt and tie following the change in dress code.

He also wears a pair of golden glasses. Usually, they're circular in shape, but may change in style depending on the time of day, and activities he has planned.

## Personality

He is quiet.

Kliment does not talk unless he needs to talk. He often spends his time listening to others, rather than giving his own input. He finds it calming to find out what others think, rather than spending his time arguing about what's right and what's wrong.

This does not mean he's chill with breaking rules. He WILL intervene if what he finds either goes against the word of law, or is morally incorrect. He will find a suitable punishment, even if that means you're getting beat up.

## Background

Kliment Kasparnovich Novikov was born on February 24th, 1996, to Alyona and Kaspar Novikov, two immigrants from Estonia to Canada. His birth was registered at the BC Women's Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is often noted by his brothers, Gavril (b. 1981) and Roman (b. 1991) that Kliment may have been an accident. This is neither confirmed nor denied by his parents.

Kliment's parents had immigrated to Canada following the Fall of the Soviet Union, some time in 1993. Prior to that, they had been living in Tallinn, until 1990, when they moved to Moscow. As tensions in the East got worse with the Russian Constitutional Crisis, they had taken the opportunity to flee to the United Kingdom, then eventually to Canada. They settled in the West End, before quickly assimilating into the Eastern European population in Vancouver.

During his childhood, he often spent his days at Granville Island, playing near the docks while chasing seagulls and other various birds near the Water Taxi area.

Kliment graduated as Valedictorian of his elementary school class, and was eventually accepted into Jericho Heights Secondary School. It was around this time that he also joined the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, before transferring to the Sea Cadets a year later.

## Relations

This might just be his grandfather. Artyom visits his grandfather regularly whenever he flies back to Russia.
