Ilya

patient . kind . eccentric

If you ask about his background, he would probably just laugh and tell you and he’s not a very interesting person. Patient, mild, funny, and just generally a nice man, Ilya is humble and reserved. He genuinely just wants to help people however he can. Beneath his plain and boring exterior, he is similarly plain and boring. However, he does have some secrets.

For one thing, he is also secretly an alien investigator. He has always been fascinated by the mysterious and paranormal, and he has been quietly collating data on extraterrestrials in his spare time. He is naturally curious and a bit eccentric at times.

For another thing, he is also very lonely. He has little biological family to speak of, with his mother having passed away at a young age and a father who was pretty abysmal at being a father. He values the friends he does have very highly, and is loyal to a fault. He struggles with self-esteem, though, and he tends not to value himself–something that can have negative consequences on his relationships with other people. Ultimately, all he wants is to bring something good to the world. He wants to believe that he can leave things a better place than when he got here--that there is more to himself and his life than his trauma.
