Name: Iyu Aksanevich Ony
Age: the story follows him from ages 16-40 (it’s a weird 40)
Gender: Male
Height: Tops out at around 5’8” or 5’9”
Job: Professional menace? As Pavel says, he’s never had a real job in his life. But kind of ghost hunter, teacher.
Hobbies: Fishing, drinking, doing jerry-rigged science experiments that might kill himself and those around him, making new friends, flirting with old women, tormenting loved ones, causing trouble
Fashion Statement: Calfskin boots and there’s a very good reason he has ten pairs of them, he swears
Favorite Food: syrniki
Favorite Dessert: syrniki, but he doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, otherwise
Favorite Song: Some kind of rousing balalaika tune, I’m sure
Name: Aleksandr Artyomovich Okhotnikov
Age: also 16-40 (it’s a normal 40—to a point)
Gender: Male
Height: Very controversial topic. Either Iyu’s height or slightly taller, depending on who you ask.
Job: Ghost hunter
Hobbies: Sanya doesn’t have hobbies, he has solemn obligations. So like… being on time, being prepared, always having his buttons done up correctly, going to bed at a reasonable hour, praying, cleaning
Fashion Statement: Furs but he wouldn’t notice if you replaced his entire wardrobe
Favorite Food: kasha. I don’t think you can call this his favorite food, but it is the food that he eats. His mother thinks his favorite food is kholodets, and he will not correct her. Kholodets is also fine.
Favorite Dessert: Pass.
Favorite Song: something serious with no frivolous musical instruments and only baritone chanting
