Casimir Sukhoi

**Casimir Kirila Sukhoi** *(キャシミア・キリラー・サクホイ Kyashimia Kirirā Sakuhoi)* is a student of Class A in HPEBS and a participant of Killing Student Exchange in *Danganronpa: Hope Noir**. My friend said "Oh he's russian? More like russian to finish that drawing." and I thought that was pretty insulting. Let me know what y'all think down below in the comments.*

After discovering an ancient tomb in Egypt with the Ultimate Explorer, his knowledge and abilities in anatomical pathology clarified when and why did the discovered pharaoh die. This particular event convinced Hope's Peak Academy to invite Casimir to participate in Ultimate Talent Promotion Program and enrolled him to HPEBS as the **Ultimate Anatomical Pathologist**.

## History

### Early Life

Prior to the killing game he was living in his home in Yakutsk, Russia, with his four younger sisters and three younger brothers. As his father was working long hours, he had to take his place and take care of his siblings, and thus had little to no time to do other, more interesting things. He genuinely hated the cold of his city and always dreamed of going somewhere warmer, and thus his passion towards Egypt was born, which he shared with girlfriend, Sasha Jerpylowa. She loved travelling around the world, and once a year they were going on trips together, which was a blessing for the homestuck Casimir, cus he could travel with his best friend and beloved, as well as study anatomical pathology, his favorite subject along with the history of Egypt.

Once they took a trip to their beloved country - and their plane has crushed. They had to go on foot through many kilometers of the desert, eventually accidentally discovering an ancient temple, which after their investigation revealed itself to be an unknown pharaoh's tomb. Casimir's medical knowledge helped in determining the time and cause of his death. They got quite popular and by 2010 Hope's Peak Academy, while inviting them to HPEBS, aknowledged them as the Ultimate Anatomical Pathologist and Ultimate Explorer.

At some point of his life Casimir got diagnosed with a terminal lung illness and not giving him much more time than living to a bit more than 20 years. He and Sasha promised each other they will hold hands when he dies.

## Creation and Development

An idea for a sad Russian doctor came up at one night. Soon Casimir was born.

### Name

Both his names (Casimir and Sukhoi) are references to characters from the Metro 2033 Universe, specifically to Casimir from *The Wanderer* by Suren Tsormudian and Artem Sukhoi from the *Metro 2033* and *2035* by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Kirila came up randomly to the author's mind while writing this article.

## Appearance

Casimir is almost 2 meters tall and very muscular, being the biggest person among the killing game participants. He has dark blue hair and very thick eyebrows, as well as well shaped face and body. His eyes are, same as hair, dark blue.

He wears a gray pullover with sew-on Star of Life badge, dark jeans with a black belt (with a shiny buckle) and leather boots. He is always seen with his stethoscope.

Casimir's full appearance.
## Personality

Casimir is seemingly just tired and unaffective, but he does indeed care about people around him and despite his static personality and no will to even look at people he talks with, he is always willing to talk or help with his knowledge or muscle. Don't even try to use somebody's weakness to your advantage when he's around - his big brother instinct kicks in and you may regret everything, as he often had to take care of his siblings' fights.

He is really addicted to nicotine ever since he was 14 and doesn't want anyone to lecture him about cigarettes and lung diseases (especially after someone's death), since he already has one terminal illness and will die because of it.

All the time during the killing game he is very worried not only about his family, but Sasha, who was supposed to be with him in HPEBS, but was nowhere to be seen among the partcipants. Getting an idea she might be on the other side of the wall makes him kinda desperated, to the point of accepting Oscar's certain offer, which evetually led to their demise. He parted with the rest of class in peace.

## Talent and Abilities

### Ultimate Anatomical Pathologist

As the Ultimate Anatomical Pathologist, Casimir has a great knowledge in medicine and anatomy, specifically about any abnormalities about it.

#### Translations

Since *Hope Noir* is written in Polish, titles appear in two languages: Polish in text, English in illustrations and other resources, including this Wiki.

## Relationships

### Girlfriend:

#### Sasha Jerpylowa

Their relationship isn't particularly extended over the course of plot, but it is known Sasha was his girlfriend for a few years before attending HPEBS and they loved each other dearly. They were spending a lot of time together and once every year they were traveling around the world in search of adventures, eventually finding one in Egypt and earning their talents. Knowing Casimir's condition, the two agreed they will hold hands when he dies. The promise and Sasha were so important to Sukhoi he agreed to Oscar's crazy murder plan to have a chance to see Sasha alive again and only guilt and feeling of friendship prevented him from achieving this plan, as he decided to confess. Ironically, his death lead to the reveal of Sasha being the winner of a killing game behind the wall because she had similar idea, but she actually won the trial as the Blackened. Information about his death mixed with a strong survivor guilt convinced her to commit suicide.

### Classmates:

#### Samantha Kirschbaum

Casimir was very inspired by Samantha's leading abilites. They often conversed on the beginning of the killing game, as they both were keen on people's health and anatomy. She even convinced him to try and quit smoking and swap to something healthier, like drinking water. After her death Casimir was very sad about losing someone so inspiring in such a cruel way and came back to smoking.

#### Vincent Havel

Vincent respects Casimir's medical abilities, but heavily disapproves his smoking habits. As Casimir refuses to quit smoking, in exchange they start working out together every night in the school gym. They don't talk much, sometimes Casimir was telling his stories of traveling the world with his girlfriend, but they seem to like spending time together. Casimir gets very downbeat after Vincent's death.

#### Oscar Maura

After the second motive they both realized they shared a passion towards false snuff movies and restarted watching them regularly. They seem to get along well, with Oscar being a ball of energy in their duo and Casimir being his protector from doing something stupid. They talk a lot during their movie nights and reveal their secrets in act of trust. Oscar is very dedicated to Casimir, especially after learning how much love is important in the pathologist's life. So much he came up with a plan giving Casimir a chance to reunite with Sasha, a plan that included Oscar's death. After that happened and Casimir has been found guilty on a trial, he asked everyone to remember Oscar as a good man.

#### Elle van der Linde

Connected by losing several friends over the course of the game, Casimir and Elle develop a friendship based on mutual support, common interests and casual spending time together, often with Oscar. Casimir deeply respects Elle for her strength, especially after helping her resisting temptation to try again drugs after Inge's death, and Elle is impressed by Casimir's wisdom and big brother/father-like attitude towards others. At one point Elle even decided that if she is to die in this school, she wants to fulfill her womanliness by give herself over to Casimir. He kindly declined, stating he has a girlfriend, and convinced her she and the others will survive this game, so she can devote herself to someone she really wants to. After Casimir was found guilty in the fourth trial, she lost hope for a moment and got insanely mad and distraught, but soon got over it and forgave him.

#### Veikko Paavola

Veikko and Casimir are generally fond of each other, they respect each other for their dedication and usefulness. They often accompany Vincent during his late night excercises, but unlike Brenda and Gabrielle, they were excercising with him. Casimir was genuinely displeased upon realizing Veikko's guilt of killing Vincent, but the carpenter apologized and did his best to shed Vincent's legacy upon the rest of surviving participants. Casimir appreciated, though was still very sad.

#### James Rhodes

They both hate salt. Some say their friendship lasts even in the afterlife.
