Although, Igor will wear whatever is available for him from whoever/wherever he’s at. He does not carry clothes of his own apart from the ones on his back. He's messy, his clothes and hair out of order and flecks of dirt noticeable on him

TRIVIA AND NOTES

• Igor is obsessed with cartoons, even if its just an image of a cartoon character on an item. Turning on the tv to cartoons or giving him an item with a cartoon character on it will instantly make him stand completely still and silently stare at it- for hours. It is one of the only times he can ever stay still..and silent. In this stage, everything from the outside world is muted, background noise that is not awknowldged, and the only way to bring him back to reality is by taking it away.
• He can easily fall blindly for lies and games. Such as thinking a person geniunely disappears in "Peek-a-boo.
• Igor will create "identities" where he has a fake name and job for different situtations. For example, if he were in a hospital, he would pretend to be a doctor, and even go as far as to steal their clothes and actually try to assess patients.
• His biggest enemy is a child who would not give him a cereal box with a cartoon on it.
• As a child, Igor would watch cartoons played on a TV through a TV/electronics store display window. He would stand outside all day watching, until the shop closed, he's forcefully moved, or the channel is changed.
• Being in the cirucs is one of his fondest and most important memories in life, it holds a special place to him.

PERSONALITY

Upon getting to know Igor, it is noticeable he isn’t average.

Having no education whatsoever, Igor lacks much knowledge a normal person would possess. He is illiterate, he can’t read or write in neither his native language or english. As english is not his native language (nor is he fluent at it), he speaks broken and very simple english with a noticeably thick accent. With the addition of his extremely low IQ, Igors mind could be compared to one of young child- though most children are smarter than him. To others, it is noticeable through his wants and actions, which appear very child-like.

Igor has no self-control and will instantly act on impulse with no regards to its consequences on himself or others. He also has no sense of danger, often doing things that could put him in grave danger. His impulses and curiosity can make him dangerous, he can harm others and go even further without feeling remorse. This is due to his inability to critically think, low empathy, and inability to understand or process its effects. Though his movements are fast paced, he often pauses between each action or event to process it before moving on- unless its "urgent" to him, where he just acts abruptly. Opposite to others, he acts with no thought process, which makes him incredibly unpredictable.

HISTORY

Igor was born and raised in a poor rural town in Lithuania. He grew up in a poor household, barely having enough to support the family of 3. Having no access to education, Igor never learnt how to read or write in his own language, but he can speak and understand it when spoken. Both of his parents are present in his life but hold no importance in his story. They have no emotional connection to each other and contribute nothing apart from providing the physical necessities that they can afford.

Igor is unable to form connections as others do, therefore he is able to leave everything behind without a second of hesitation. At a young age, Igor did exactly that. He left home and snuck into a train he found in the tracks, which happened to be a moving circus. As the crew discovered him, his fascination with circus life and general behavior earned him compassion and a place within the crew. He helped around as a chore boy, doing small tasks such as cleaning, setting up, feeding the animals, etc. around the circus until it ran out of business. Those years were the most prominent ones in Igors life, his favorite.

His adventure did not stop when the circus did, instead he would sneak into other trains, buses, and even boats and go wherever they were headed; not a single dime in his pocket or a care in the world, just out of impulse and pure curiosity. (LOOK AT LITERATURE FOR MORE DETAILS).

RELATIONSHIPS

Reggie

Reggie is the closest thing Igor has had as a "friend", even if the thought isn't reciprocated or the concept of friendship isn't well understood.

Emilis

A 60 year old clown Igor met at the circus. He took him in under his wing, taught him some english, and let him stay with the circus as a chore boy.Igor has always been facinated with him due to to his interest in clowns, he got a little more obedience than usual in result. Noticing the interest, Emilis sat Igor down, painted his face, and gave him a costume to wear. A clown himself. It was the greatest day of Igors life.
