Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Theau Novikov

Nickname: none

Gender/Pronoun: male; he/him/his

Age: 20

Birthday: 11/14/2002

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: topaz

Blood Type: O+

Fav. Food: medium rare steak and loaded baked potato

Hated Food: salad

School/Occupation: graduated Romano’s; mostly does handy odd jobs, but still lives with his parents and little brother

Hobbies:
handy - Spends a lot of time with his “man’s man” father, so Theau has budding mechanic and carpentry skills. Picks up odd jobs for various types of yard work and simple house fixes. Will reshingle your roof, paint your walls, build ramps for your stairs, and promises to “figure it out” if he doesn’t already know what he’s doing. Has a good grasp of mechanical equipment, but still manages to look like he is one bad decision away from hurting himself. Doesn’t play with electrical, though.

food truck - his actual ambition is to have his own meat-inspired food truck. He thinks he is already a top-tier barbequer and smoker, thanks to all his hunting acquisitions. Spends a stupid amount of time reading about what “the best way to cook a steak is,” and especially loves preparing weird meats and experimenting with cooking techniques.

guns - Has a collection of pistols and rifles. Only some of them are actually for shooting. Likes to go hunting and has even been on exotic hunts. It’s a whole camping event that is actually mostly just peace, quiet, and serenity, except for the few minutes that it’s not, and he honestly thinks it is the exact perfect amount of relaxing and adrenaline. Makes his own ammo.

Virtues:
brave - Doesn’t really have many fear triggers, so Theau acts boldly and openly and without hesitation (not to be mistaken for courageous, which is acting despite fear- he just doesn’t have any). Not afraid of speaking his mind, even through adversity. Not afraid of starting and finishing fights. Doesn’t care if people judge or ridicule him. But he’s not aloof about it, so it tends to garner more respect than disgust. Sometimes.

dreamer - Has high hopes for a living, impossible optimism and wonder. Theau doesn’t spend much time planning for events and outcomes, but he is still mesmerized by the “ideal” perfect world, perfect life. Very supportive of his friends and their goals and fawns over the endless possibilities. He doesn’t know what his own life goal is, yet, but he has ideas for a few.

Flaws:
impulsive - He doesn’t have a pause to think button and just helplessly acts on whatever he’s compelled to do. Sometimes it’s spending egregious amounts of money on food. Sometimes it’s sticking his hand down that dirt tunnel under the house to try and figure out what’s in there. He gets mixed results, but many people act all aghast at his brazenness/stupidity. Gets told he’s setting “a bad example” a lot.

rebellious - Doesn’t want to go with the flow and will do the wrong thing out of spite toward people who seem like they’re condescendingly explaining at him. Or just regular explaining. He’s an ADULT, and he KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING, so don’t you worry about him, okay. Mind your own business. Resists authority and attempts to control him, even when headed to obvious danger.
