Personality:

A shy boy Ivan is softspoken and quiet scared of conversation and easy to upset he takes things the wrong way most times and will feel really down about it until its explained to him and then he just gets embarrassed about assuming wrong and being unable to come up and talk about it. Ivan has a soft heart doing  kind things because it feels nice even if hes very skittish he will always try to offer some sort of help even if it winds up getting him into shenanigans such as getting a cold in the rain when he was taking food to an animal shelter or  getting a broken leg when assisting his  fellow coworkers on site lifing things he couldnt carry. Ivan has a passion for science mainly trying to find cures to various diseases or ways to help further the progression of science as a whole he dedicates a lot of  his time to this maybe too much at times its one of his passions though and he loves it. Ivan is most happy when hes silently able to enjoy time working on stuff that hes passionate about and  before his incident he would be found humming and smiling as he worked on his projects. Overall Ivan is a  skittish quiet guy with a soft demeanor and heart who just wants to  do good things even if it ends up hurting him at times.

After the incident that turned him into an Oryx he is more anxious and easy to spook however he keeps that kindness in his heart albeit he has more moments of crying and  breaking down. He mentally tends to get a little overwhelmed and will need some sort of stimulation to calm him down most of the time being allowed to write and  read keeps him calm. Ivan holds great disdain for the persont hat did this to him and will glare at them behind their back but face to face he will not react simpy looking away with upset trying to keep it together when he really just wants to cry and  scream. Ivan does retain his overall skittish quiet demeanor he just has more stress now comapred to before.
