Absolute Obedience land is a magical place of cold-war era shenanigans and special organs, so as one might expect there's political (and sometimes soul-hurting) things that go on in the background. For some of the characters it's just trying to keep one the crazy main characters from riding on the Berlin wall (s-sob), and others are members of the military and dealing with the specter of ww2 and have it more directly involve them. In Zhores's case it's definitely the latter, as he's well, a KGB spy. Now I'm not one to say "oh noes! Don't recognize my character for the spy/horrible person that he is!" TO THE CONTRARY, every day and in every way I loev having spy antics with people. So please, let me know if any of this pings your character, so funtimes can occur.
O-or if you don't want to get jumped by him/there's issues about being tagged by a character from a yaoi canon, please feel free to mention that too.
Zhores is:
a)Russian.
b)Been living in Frankfurt for... I'd guess a year or two.
c)A spy with at least one confirmed record of another agent knowing his identity (a member of the British SIS). In addition to this the previous Ice Queen had a bit of a reputation herself, it seems.
d)Most likely a "compromised" agent because of c. The KGB in his most recent job put him as the decoy for the main agent. It's unknown how much the British secret service has released to other agency's about Zhores, but there's a good chance rumors are floating around about him/the previous agent with this title. Zhores knows about the British agent getting taken to task for falling for his honey trap, so if anything THAT story is circulating around.
Like I said, even if my character might seem like he'd have a problem with a specific character/situation/exc, I almost always do not. If you have any concerns please
ask, to be honest I've never really vetoed anything before.

Personal LJ: basilmemories
Gtalk: basilmemories@gmail.com
AIM: basilmemory *
IRC: Zhores/Kuhn/exc*
Player timezone: Pacific. From what my friends tell me though, I have an active playing schedule that's convenient for, uh... people in Australia and Asia. Go me?
Thread dropping: My computer is made of fail. Any post that's over 500 comments? there's a good chance that it might not load. So if LJ decides to mess up comments or I lose your comment in a busy thread, I might accidentally drop our thread. If it's a slow/under 400 comments post, don't worry! I'll pick it up/check on it if a day goes by and nothing hits my inbox. I'm always glad to pick up a thread if someone sends me a pm/email about it, but I might ask for a link if it's in a large post.
AU: Yes! Depending on the character I might veto anything sexual, but in general AU's are an always thing.
Notes: * me and AIM have a... strained relationship. I have an account just for the people who only use AIM, but I'm honestly rarely on. I like to keep my chat programs down at about two at a time, and right now that's pretty much Gtalk and IRC. Seriously, if I'm not on IRC, then I'm on Gtalk. Also while it might seem like a bit of work, IRC is my forever girl. You can ping me on there and unless I'm away from the computer or in a coma, I'll respond right away. If the Zhores nick isn't on, try some of these (updated as needed):

Stats/permission
Mar. 30th, 2009 08:44 pmName: Zhores Barsoukova (Real name is Barskov, we don't know if it's the surname or not)
Age: 32
Race: Human
Height: 179 cm
Weight: “66kkg” whatever the hell that is
Eyes: Pinkish/red
Hair: White/grey.
Medical info: Normal human. He deals with damage just as well as anybody else in the series. Needs his glasses and probably burns more easily because of the skin tone. This possibly is hereditary as he inherited his code name of “ice queen” from his sister.
...you can stop laughing about the code name now
There’s no indicator that he is or isn’t albinistic, as he’s fine in normal sunlight for all that I can tell. Also there’s other characters in the game that have similar traits or strange eye/hair color.
Physical traits: White hair/red eyes/pale skin, not really anything else.
Abilities/eqipment:
-Poision needles: are supposedly impossible to find, even during the autopsy. (Then again I’m claiming that this was during the 70’s, so feel free for modern science to pick them up)
-Aerosol spray/pills: capable of paralyzing an adult
-Marksman/swordsmen: though the latter is just mentioned, he’s a damn good shot with a handgun.
- Self-defense skills: It’s never said what they are, but I’m pretty sure it’s some form of martial arts.
What's okay to mention around him: Pretty much anything, he’s a skeptic, so he’ll probably not believe you if you explain your wacky fifth-dimensional world or something.
Notes for the psychics: A lot of sarcasm there, and wanting to be free of his job, a bit deeper and there’s aspects of his past like his dead sister and his real name. He doesn’t have any blocks, so things about his past and growing up in communist Russia aren’t that hard to find out.
Can I shapeshift/bodyswitch/spit at/step on?: Sure just ask!
Hugging/kissing/other nonviolent physical contact: If there’s mutual flirting it shouldn’t be a problem. When it’s pushed on him however, he drops the politeness and most likely will fight back (which is to say, if you’re cool with possibly being punched/poisonneedled/gassed or slipped a pill, GO AHEAD >D)
Fighting: He’ll likely be woefully unmatched against the people here, but go ahead! Just ask first, ‘kay?
Maim/murder/death: AGAIN ‘tis cool, just ask.
Cooking: Probably has some skills, but nothing special.
