He speaks with a distinct Russian accent for example:Man from UNCLE clip He prefers dark clothing, casual is turtlenecks and slacks with a leather jacket, formal is a Tuxedo, business casual is designer suits. Because of his scars and Vor tattoos, you will never see him in shorts or short sleeved shirts. IDENTIFYING MARKS: Illya got into several fights while in prison and killed other inmates on three different occasions. He has a scar on his neck where another inmate attempted to slit his throat with a straight razor and a > shaped scar at the outer edge of his right eye, also earned in a prison fight. As tradition he got several prison tattoos. They don't go below his knees or elbows or above his neck line. Which gives him the freedom to interact with 'polite' society'. He has the Spetsnaz bat emblem on his right hip and GRU emblem on his left - these two are of higher quality and older and may predate his involvement in the Vor. On his knees and shoulders are the eight pointed stars of a Vor leader. On his right thigh, there is a tattoo of a sniper rifle, in a band on his R arm are 13 crosses - indicating his 13 kills during his Spetsnaz career, on the left bicep are four coffins one of which has the GRU symbol on it (for the officer he killed) the other three are black for the prison inmates he is known to have killed. He has other tattoos including a crucifix on his chest, a grim reaper carrying a sniper rifle instead of a scythe on his right flank, on his inner left wrist he has the name 'Hammer', in cyrillic "Хаммер" which was his nickname in prison. He has the words "Вы не можете обогнать пулю" which reads "You cannot outrun a bullet" beneath it. On his back are etched the words "Если вы слышите выстрел моя пуля была предназначена не для вас" which reads "If you hear gunshot my bullet was not meant for you" he also has markings that indicate he was in a military prison in Siberia and that he attempted escape on several occasions. His last escape was successful. ABILITIES No one knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes STRENGTHS: Illya is quite strong and muscular. For a large man, he is agile and can move very fast. He is also very intelligent. Because of his size and his anger issues, many people overlook this quality and see him as a thug. He has been known to take advantage of the misconception. SKILLS: In the Spetsnaz, he trained as a sniper, but he is proficient in the use of many weapons, including knives, he is an expert in hand to hand combat, and in the use of explosives. Illya has earned a black belt (4th dan) in Judo, and Russian martial art, Sambo. Other skills: he is an excellent tailor and artist. PERSONALITY No one bites back as hard on their anger, none of my pain and woe can show through Illya is a quiet yet passionate man. Which comes from his difficult and isolated childhood and being a spy for so long. He is very physically active. Lifting weights, running, swimming and parkour. In school as a boy, he excelled in gymnastics. Illya loves extreme sports and has been known to participate in them occasionally. Though he doesn't want to worry his girlfriend too much. He misses the adrenaline rush of working in a dangerous vocation. He sometimes has a difficult time expressing his feelings and will hold them in until they erupt. Illya explodes and things get broken. He is in therapy for this and is learning how to be more open with his feelings. He is truly honest with them usually only with Sinthia, his girlfriend. He will never blow up in front of anyone, not even Sinthia. But has been known to act out destructively when he is alone. He does love Sinthia and is affectionate only with her. Illya tells her as often as possible. It is something they have both been lacking for so long. HISTORY No one knows what it's like to be hated, to be fated, to telling only lies Born in Moscow, Russia, to Nicolai Kuryakin, a physics professor and Anyanka Kuryakin, former fashion model and later designer. After the death of his father when he was seven years old, his mother supported them by working as a seamstress. It was rumored that in the collapse of the Soviet Union, to keep their home and make sure they had food, she occasionally turned to prostitution. She later started designing clothing and using her contacts in the industry to make a living as a designer. She taught Illya how to sew and helped him find himself as an artist. His parents grew up in the USSR before the dissolution. His father died while he was still a child and he was raised by his single mother. He was seven years old when the government of the USSR collapsed. Illya grew up in the resulting chaos. His childhood was not idyllic by any means. When he turned eighteen he joined the army figuring it was something to do, regular pay, regular meals, etc... And he did exceedingly well there. He was recruited from there into Spetsnaz (the GRU's special forces) at the age of twenty and was one of the youngest soldiers ever recruited. During his years there, he studied and became an expert in Judo, Karate, Sambo, marksmanship, surveillance, anti-terrorism tactics and demolitions. He holds a black belt in Judo 4th Dan (Yondan). His talents were brought to the attention of the FSB, he was recruited by the agency at the age of 22 and he became one of the top field agents within three years. Then something appeared to have gone terribly wrong. The FSB never heard of him. He was dishonorably discharged from the Spetsnaz and imprisoned in Siberia for insubordination and the murder of a superior officer. In prison he became involved with the Vor v Zakone (the Russian mafia.) After he escaped prison he was hired by Ivan Ivanovich, a mafia boss, to be his bodyguard, perform acts of general thuggery, and the occasional assassination (this is actually his main occupation. He works as a bodyguard or appears to work as a bodyguard because of his intimidating size, at 6'5" and with his training and qualifications, seriously who wouldn't be intimidated?) When Ivan returned to New York, where he owns several holdings including a restaurant that serves traditional Russian cuisine, he took Illya with him. Occasionally, people remark upon how handsome he is and how he can't have had the career his tattoos proclaim and still be so 'pretty.' Anyone who makes the mistake of saying that to his face however, will learn how he earned them the hard way. However, Illya is still working for the FSB in an effort to infiltrate and bring down the criminal organization in the form of a joint effort between the government of Russia and the US. Thanks to Illya's work they will have enough information to arrest Ivan and most of the higher ranking men in his organization. |  ILLYA But my dreams they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be FULL NAME: ILLYA KURYAKIN VERSE: Modern AU NICKNAMES: Red Peril, Bear, Hammer CURRENT AGE: 32 DATE OF BIRTH: July 25, 1983 SIGNIFICANT OTHERS: Sinthia Schmidt and Napoleon Solo SEXUALITY: Bisexual OCCUPATION: Fashion designer CURRENT RESIDENCE: New York & Paris  I have hours, only lonely, my love is vengeance that's never free •Illya is an accomplished musician.
