## Personality and Traits

Those who are not close enough to Vitomir often describe him as rude, self-centred. He either keeps himself quiet or in more extreme cases bosses them around, viewing himself as the leader. Yet if you're alone with him or if he knows you better, he seems to be completely different. He's caring and a logical thinker. He likes to give out advice to those who need it.

He appears to have a natural trait for keeping calm in the most extreme situations, using his wit and logical thinking to be a step ahead of his obstacles. This comes from a deep-rooted fear of failure, which in his culture is seen as a weakness; unacceptable.

## Physical appearance

Standing at 180 centimeters and being rather broad makes him stand out from the average person. His skin is pale, which often curses with his black hair and brown eyes. He does not seem to have any scars on his body.

He's often seen wearing the uniform of Durmstrang as his opinion on the Manor is having a lack in rules. Not only that, but it also appears to chill down the spines of people as he seems like he's from some sort of military group. Furthermore he wears a golden necklace with his family crest engraved into it. This is because he's from a prominent pure-blood wizarding family.

## Biography

I can recall my father woke me up. I saw rays of sunlight entering through my window. It appears to be dawn. I lived in a small, tribal village in the Asian part of Russia called Siberia. We lived near a frozen lake surrounded by woods. That very day, I went hunting with the men of the tribe in a ceremonial manner as it was my 11th birthday. I did not know what was going on, yet soon I learned why it was a 'ceremonial' birthday.

I had gained a letter from a school located in the Western part of Russia. Up to my surprise, I had been invited to the Durmstrang Institute for Magic. I remember my father telling me we are a wizarding family, which I did not expect due to the muggle life style we followed. As soon as the summer started, I went to Moscow with my family to buy my equipment necessary for school.

A few years past by at Durmstrang. I've not made that much friends over time.. but who needs them? I'm being taught in a lot of different classes, and in my upcoming year.. the 5th year.. I get to choose electives. Perhaps I shall choose even more classes dedicated to the Dark Arts..? I feel at home there. The classes were made in different aspects of the Dark Arts. I liked artifacts the most by far, you can do a lot with it. Though I suggest alchemy is also nice to have here.

My last year went was the craziest I have ever experienced. We're getting homework to brew potions.. test them.. but we cannot test them on students. Well, perhaps I should not have taken an illegal potion as my project. I hope that first year wakes up someday..

## Magical abilities

Vitomir knows his basics of magical practise. Yet his strength does not come from spells, it comes from raw knowledge. He appears to have a knack for theory, the Dark Arts in particular.
