Childhood
Life until age 12 (dragon maturity)
Vasili did not have a very horrible upbringing. He was born into a very rich family when they decided they wanted a child in a moments decision. This phase did not last long however, because as the young sweethearts spent more time with a child, it became apparent that they were not ready for the responsibility.
Vasili was simply ignored and given what he wanted as a dragonet because his parents couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to make parental decisions. He got by every day with mediocre education and neglectful rich parents. Vasili came to the realization that he was not getting anything out of this life, and left once he was able to take care of himself. His parents gave him some money as a parting gift (and to keep him out of their lives) and that was the last he saw from his parents. He did not purposefully cut contact, but they ignored every effort he made.
Adult Life
Life from age 12 to current day
After Vasili left his home and was evicted from then on, he found another well-off home in Divium that he used the extra money he had to buy. He couldn't be left on the streets, gods no! He had money to spare after buying a home, and began buying jewelry. He'd always had an interest in jewelry and expression through it; the golden jewelry fascinated him most. He bought a lot of jewelry, spending heaps of money on different golden pieces of jewelry and adorning himself in it consistently. It was not long until his attraction to golden jewelry (along with his flawless appearance), he was met with a modeling contractor.
Through this modeling contractor, he was met with an offer to model for a company working through connections with the black market. Vasili was blissfully unaware and took the contract, modeling for this agency for insane amounts of money due to the risks surrounding work with the black market. Vasili would wear enchanted pieces of jewelry, and while wearing them, he could model and simultaneously carry out tasks with no memory linked to the events that happened. Being a good-natured dragon, he would be upset if he found this out, but currently he is oblivious and his contractors are grateful and intend to keep it this way. In the future he eventually figures this out however and goes to make his own modeling company, funded by his heinous amounts of cash. He gets his revenge, but for now, he enjoys his career.
