Personality
If one word could be used to describe Arman, it would be the word "Humble." In everything he does, he would always be quiet and courteous about it. If he were to achieve something great, Arman would act as if nothing had happened. Though there are people who take pride in their actions and accomplishments, Arman is one of those people who do not practice it. He dislikes the idea of showing off and boasting. Doing so would attract attention and attracting attention is something he does not enjoy. However, he is very much capable of interacting with others. It is just that he personally enjoys being alone. Arman creates this impression for others that he is this very kind, down to earth person. Arman is relieved people see him this way but in reality, he is very problematic and unstable. He will do everything to make sure nobody sees him this way.
Positive: Creative, Empathetic, Observant
Negative: Apprehensive, Directionless, Pride-less,
Background
Arman was born and raised in one of the poorest cities in Russia. He grew up as an only child in a tiny apartment with his lone, abusive mother. Almost everyday, Arman's mother would physically and verbally abuse him. His mother constantly reminds him that his very existence is the reason why they live so terribly. Apparently, his father had left his mother after learning that she was pregnant with him.
Arman was also born with congenital anosmia, a lifelong condition that granted him the inability to smell. Though it was not that much of an issue in comparison to what he has experienced in his upbringing, he still had to face its disadvantages.
When he was only thirteen years old, Arman's mother passed away. He was then sent to an orphanage. There, he would live amongst other children. Some who were just like him. But rather than sitting around and being traumatized by the things his mother did to him, he acted as a good big brother to them. He made it his mission that each child in the orphanage was feeling happy and safe. It got to the point where Arman would purposefully avoid being adopted just so he can help take care of the children that were still in the orphanage. Arman had found a sense of purpose. But at the same time he was doing all this, he was sacrificing his own well-being.
Years pass and eventually, the orphanage was shutdown and the children, including Arman, were sent away. But by this time, he was considered as an independant adult so he had to start looking for a job. He jumped from one career to another but could not find the same satisfaction he had when helping the children at the orphanage. Though later on in his life, Arman discovers a new passion. That being photography. He eventually makes a career out of it and earned himself a fair lifestyle. But even then, he felt that there was a big part of him that was missing.
Nowadays, Arman works as a freelance photographer. During his last commission, he was given a VR set in addition to his payment. The VR set just so happens to have a copy of Terrasphere. Though aware of its controversies and bans, Arman decided to give the game a try. Maybe he will find that piece to fill up the void that had stuck with him for so long.
