hey everyone, i'm ella and i'm brand new to valkyrie. this is my girl ksenia sakahrov. so i want to keep this short and sweet, okay? okay.

like i said her name is ksenia and she's from moscow, russia. she's with the russian mob killing and doing stuff for them. her family is pretty much dead to her since they let her be forceably intitiated into 'the life'. kay, as i call her, has been doing this for two years but has picked up a lot in that time. right now she's twenty and single though i have a final requested HERE.

so anyway, kay's a bit of bitch because she doesn't trust people easily and tends to be a little more quiet than other people. some people think she's a snob because she has money but she's not, she's quite the opposite in fact. kay can be nice to the people she feels deserve her compassion and has a particular love for children.

kay can pretty much be plotted with anyone but if you're stuck for ideas she'd be well suited to plot with someone from the russian mob or anyone who has any ties with them. enemies of the mob are always good and maybe even forbidden friends? kay's loyalty to the mob is a bit shakey at the moment because of her half sister being declared a traitor.

also, for picture's sake, she can be plotted with anyone from vamp diaries xD

so plot darlings! because i'm new and c.accola is gorgeous!

[RUBY !]

in true AA fashion. hi, i'm ruby. hello ruby. lol kidding. i'm ruby and i play a bunch of characters that could be plotted with kay, namely my girl carly sutton.

carly and kay were best friends back when asia played her so i see no reason why they shouldn't remain as such. carly's a 'normal' person for description's sake though she's a celebrity. anyways her association with a russian as a friend brought about a hit on her head by a rival mob and as such jamie's her bodyguard. carly's a really nice girl, really not one to judge people, and though the mob ties that jamie has scares the daylights out of her she tries her best to see him for the person he is around her, not for his past, so she's really good at looking past things to see the people right in front of her. the lack of judgment i could see as being a reason why kay likes hanging out with carly? because she knows she won't just look at her in fear as some killer or whatnot. idk. it's up to you.

kat's my russian bebe. she's a cold, ruthless killer and she's famous throughout the russian mob as having killed off all of her relatives (save one) because they were disloyal and she had to prove herself. she's your average ruski but with absolutely no issues killing someone should staz or any other head honcho demand it and she's a part of his inner circle for that very reason. she hates everything that isn't russian. oh, and she's my resident bombs expert. she steals them, she sells them, and she makes them. i could see these two having done a couple grab runs in the past or something. just the fact that she's russian means that kat won't want to off her immediately so that's a start. i could see them being friends though kat's definition isn't hugs, giggles, and shopping runs. her definition is maybe a few smiles and drinks and she won't kill you.

maggie and j.r. are my mexican babies with marriage ties to the italians. j.r.'s not really involved with the gios, he's more like a drunken rogue nowadays, but he's tied to them through his sister. maggie's as deep in the italian mob as a non-blood relative and female can get. she heads the drug branch of the italian's business, owns the m lounge, and she's an all-around female mastermind. but maggie's not the type to go out looking for trouble. if kay doesn't bring a shitstorm to her doorstep or cause her any intentional headaches then maggie's got no qualms with her. it's just how maggie is. now get on her bad side and she'll retaliate like it's no one's business. she's the type to break your hand if she catches you stealing and she'll hit you where it hurts the most with family and friends. she's not one to be fucked with. anyways i could see maybe polite rivals here? like they're civil to one another as long as no one screws with the other? like an unspoken truce or something.

ryan's my irish fighter boy though he's no where near involved with the irish. he fights in their underground rings and he's been a sought after money pot for the irish since he'd started fighting but ryan's got no desire to fight on command. he just does it when he feels the need to vent. aside from all that he's a total manwhore and will sleep with any woman who doesn't want to marry him or turn him into some honest man or something. as long as you don't want to change him or marry him you can lay with him. that's basically his lot in life. no emotional connections whatsoever.

other than those mentioned above i have evan mccall who's my only normal character. he's a p.i. and he's pretty boring in comparison to the criminals i have above but if you're interested let me know.

[ksenia]

hey ruby! i love your characters, especially maggie <3 she's so gorgeous!

anyyywaaayyy. so i love the idea of kay and carly being best friends because i think it would be great to have someone 'normal' in her life and also because of their ties to jamie. carly can be kay's tenuous hold to the world outside of the mob and can force her into doing 'normal' things now and then. it would be nice to see kay watching a movie or going out to brunch or even just going out clubbing instead of always slicing and dicing people. i like that carly doesn't judge people because kay will certainly need someone understanding to be there when she comes back from a job and just wants to relax with someone. i don't think kay would ever tell her exactly what she does when she goes away but carly should probably know that she works for the russian mob. i was thinking maybe they could have known each other through jamie and since kay got into town after the earthquake. so this would make them friends for about three months or so and in that time they just got really close or something? i can't think of anything else at the moment mainly because kay has never been to america prior to now. but tell me what you think.

as for kat and kay, i can totally see them drinking in a pub somewhere and evil eyeing any guy who tries to come near them and hit on them. it would be really nice for kay to have someone inside the mob she can drink with and stuff because at the moment all she has is jamie and i think asia and i will make him as more of a big brother than a friend. so i'm thinking drinking buddies, past colleagues and general fun timers? i don't think kay would really trust her mainly because of her devotion to the mob but there could still be some fun times out there for the two of them.

ohmygod i love maggie. she's gorgeous and fiery and i'm pretty sure kay would reluctantly look up to her. after she's heard who maggie is and what she's been through she'll probably be like 'hey this chick is mad. i like her'. i like your idea of polite rivals. i don't see them as being full on hate mainly because kay is forced to do what she does. i don't see how they would know each other, or even find a chance to speak to each other unless kay is friends with j.r or something. then the two would eventually meet and be all cautious of each other. like i said, i was thinking about something along the line of drinking buddies or something? they could meet at a bar, start drinking and become friends over that? not a very interesting plot but we could develop it haha xD

as for ryan and kay, i'm not really sure. maybe he could hit on her, they flirt and then she leaves him hanging. i can just see her doing that to someone coz she's a bitch <3 OORRRR they could totally meet up at a fight! she could be there to watch, ends up watching him win against a guy, they get talking, go for a drink yadda yadda yadda. not very good but it's a place to start. i also think maybe they could sleep together and be really casual about it since kay is definately not one for commitment. she'd probably laugh if someone asked her out on an actual date.

so that's my ideas dumped on you haha, pick and add and take away what you want. ooohhh and i saw evan has a sister up for grabs. is she still open? because i was thinking of taking her but i wasn't sure...

[asia ?!]

sooo, yesyes! i'm so glad you took ksenia<3 i really do adore her character, rofl. and obviiiiiously we have plenty of plotting to do. we'll have a hardcore plot sesh one day. hopefully this isn't too...yeah. i never have really solid ideas, because i suck. but let's see. xD

fiiirst, we totally have to plot her and jules. i love how you put that kay has a twisted bit of loyalty to her. because the verrentenikovs - the bravata leaders - have two rules: loyalty and blood. there have been a lot of bad results of disloyalty. seriously, russian internal affairs are messier than anything that have going on outside. xD but yeah. we all know jules had a bit of a lame reason for betraying the bravata in the first place, but it really has grown since then. the verrentenikovs we have on the site - i play staz, and becs play sasha. who had to kill her twin sister valentina to prove her loyalty. anyway, val was actually a traitorous bitch before she was caught and killed. her and jules were tight, actually. so that sort of solidified her hatred of all things ruski. despite her weird loyalty. i almost think she'd be trying to push ksenia's loyalty away. she'd care about her in her weird way. but she wouldn't know why - i mean, her father ditched her for his other family. she's so weird. xD like if they were ever in public somewhere, she'd threaten to shoot her in the knee unless she left. more in the "i already have a price on my head. i don't want one on yours." kay was brought into the life against everything, while jules was basically raised in it. and the shit she's had to endure from being on the run, i think deep down she wouldn't want any of that to be on kay. not to say she wouldn't be a bitch sometimes. xD especially in some scary ruski showdown. something about her being daddy's obvious favorite. ugh, i have no real ideas. i suck. but yeah, those stem from this stuff. i really suck, yeah.

aaand, we gotta do her and jamie. obviously they can be on better terms, hah. he's training her after all. you got it right down, they've spent the past like year and a half or two years together. you have to get along after that. since he hates his own family in the same way ksenia does, i imagine they bonded a little over that? because of her sort of 'talent' or whatever it is for the life, she definitely would never have irritated him. although he's being a bit impossible lately. maybe something from that? he's usually scary and hardended. but lately he's had a bit of an emotional break, or the beginning of one. he's always drunk or being a mess, dying of boredum. like if he got his hands on some italian, he'd be one scary bastard. and he's got some disasterous inferiority issues going on, mostly from his family. hm. maybe he just sort of slacks off, or something? like, he stops bothering to help her out at all. he's got a lot of contacts and they've been working together mostly, so yeah. idk. xD perhaps a bit of a rift comes up? because he's an impossible waste of oxygen. in a future plot he does have an actual emotional break, but that's long off. uhhh, hm. i mostly just know he's getting messy and careless with his work, which is definitely not something the bravata approves of. nor is it good while working with a newbie like ksenia. xD 'cause she's awesome, i can see staz - bravata heir - developing some sort of impression of her, a real respect. which is a lot coming from him. he's only ever had issues with his own family, but what if some of it leaks into ksenia being awesome? how would she react to him being an impossible douche, even toward her? idk. xD feel free to shoot all of this down.

those are the biggest connections i have to her. <3 althooough, i have a town of ruskis here. jamie's little sister, temperance, is a recent release from prison. i think she would like ksenia a lot, considering. find her a nice breath of fresh air, since her relationship with her immediate family is in shambles. like jamie, she hates pierce too. it was actually his fault she was arrested in the first place. so yeah, they should be cool. i also have svetlana novikova, who is kat's little sister. she's a bit of a random these days, after what happened. she's laying low because the verrens don't really like loose canon bravata members. you belong to a brigade with your family, or your kicked out, sorry. she'd like ksenia too. i also play miikka sakahrov, although he's rejected the life. so he's not really connected.xD uh...yeah. i hope there is something a little bit useful in here.

[carson]

yo asia!

so i loovvvveee jamie just coz he's an emotional mess right now and that usually leads to fighting haha. like i said before: drama = love = muse. so i'm thinking he gets sloppy in his work and kay has to start cleaning up after him. she gets extremely pissed off at him after a while and when one day she goes to his apartment she rips him a new one coz he's drunk and sulking. kay will probably kick his ass into the shower, make him some food and clean up his apartment while yelling at him at the top of her voice just to make his hangover or whatever worse. she'd probably get a good laugh at it to. well afterwards anyway haha. oorrrr he could call her up, he's drunk and he's lost his keys so she drives in, picks him up, swearing under her breath as she drags him home and gets him into bed. either way she'd be uber pissed at his lack of proffessionalism and since she does care for him, it'd come out in a kind of gruff sort of way haha.

and then there's jules. her half sister. it's gonna be complicated for them haha, i can see that now especially because kay's so naive about the wrath of the bravata. she doesn't know what it's like to be on the outside especially since she didn't grow up in the life and there will always be a sort of jealousy from her towards jules because jules got way more attention from her father than she ever did. kay's parents are basically living statues who gave her about as much emotional support as a rock, probably even less. and i like how that gruff caringness will come out of jules because kay will definately try to get closer to that one person in her immidiate family that knows how her father works. plus, if she's ever in trouble and jamie doesn't pick up, i can see her running to jules for help even though i can see jules being all like 'get the fuck outta here you idiot'. though she seems tough kay's a little teddy bear and doesn't realise just how vulnerable she is. plus you know there's the whole loyalty thing so that can come into conflict with them. ooohh maybe jules can tell kay to leave her alone but kay just keeps coming back?

yah, staz! it'd be interesting for them to meet because even though she'd have to be polite to him she'd slip up now and again and say something spiteful against his doucheness. i can see some fireworks between these two and maybe he could have a respect for her because she stands up to him? he could even hit on her and she shove it back in his face. or wait, are they related? i keep forgetting who's related to who. if not, he should make her go out somewhere with him and she'll stamp on his foot as many times as she can or she'll be glaring at him the whole time. she's very disrespectful i know and i hope staz doesn't want to shoot her in the head by the end of it hehe. i can also see kay not trusting him at all. she'll know about everything he's done and be all like 'not trusting you as far as i can throw you mister'.

friends! yay! yes and yes for friends, obviously, for svetlana and temperance. kay could have met them over the last two years and gotten friendly with them. i don't have a whole lot of plotting ideas for them but just say so and i can probably think up something.

as for mikka, he has kids doesn't he? they could bond over that since kay's weakspot is kids. she could offer to baby sit - though i don't think he'd trust her - or just i don't know, meet them through someone else and become friends with him? i'm not totally sure. i'm just throwing ideas out there for you.

anyhhhoooo, so yah, add, minus, multiply etc etc : D
