Physical Strengths: Rion is fairly physical fit though not overly muscular. He has done a lot of manual labor during his lifetime, mostly hauling wood back and forth for his family’s business. He is a good runner in both his human and caribou form though at times his weak left ankle can slow him down. He has 20/20 eyesight along with most average strengths and abilities pertaining to the human race.
Physical Weaknesses: Rion injured his left ankle during his childhood. It did not heal properly and still gives him trouble to this day. The doctors diagnosed him with a weakened heart when he was just a young boy but as he grew older he hasn’t really been troubled with it.
Magical Abilities: Rion has the ability to shift into the shape of a caribou at will.
Personal Skills & Training: Rion can speak Russian, Ukranian, a little Polish and English. He can also communicate with other deer-related animals while in his caribou form. Up until the age of sixteen Rion worked with his father and older brother in his family’s woodworking business. Thus, he is very skilled at carving and working with all manner of tools related to woodworking. He also has an extensive knowledge of trees and plants.
Personal Weaknesses: His family and their profession. He takes his family name, heritage and craft very serious. Nature, animals, the need to help those that are weaker than himself. Although he’s often quiet and aloof he longs for friendship and the moment someone opens themselves up to them he’s theirs. He often commits himself to someone, whether in love or friendship, way too soon and ends up scaring them off or not having his feelings reciprocated.
Personality: Rion is the kind of person that would jump to anyone’s aid should they appear to be in danger. While he is quiet and often keeps to himself that is immediately put aside if he sees that he can be of assistance to someone. He prefers quiet spaces away from crowds and big cities. Most of his spare time is spent in the woods, just walking or exploring. He keeps a journal with him at all time where he sketches out designs for wood crafts and any plants or animals that he sees. In some ways Rion can be very logical and scientific in the way that he approaches the world and his dealings with others. Yet, he also has a more artistic free-flowing side to him as well that shows mostly through his compliant spirit and his artistic creations.
Rion is slow to anger and prefers to discuss things in a well thought-out and calm manner. He will stand up for what he thinks is right, but he chooses his battles wisely and often tries to avoid all manners of conflict. Rion feels a greater connection with nature and animals than he does with most other humans. This mildly alienated feeling manifests itself in the enormous amount of time he spends in the woods and alone on his carvings.

History:
Illarion Petrov was born to Andriy and Kira Petrov five years after the birth of his older brother Fedir. Fedir and him were opposites in temperament and character from the very beginning. Illarion was a very mild mannered child. As an infant he very rarely cried and somehow he almost always listened to everything his parents told him. Though they shared a great love for each other they were never as close as Illarion wanted them to be. It was Fedir that gave Illarion the nickname Rion. His parents disliked it at first, saying that a person should only be called by their full name in respect for their family. Despite their misgivings the more modern sounding nickname stuck, and eventually even his parents were only calling him Rion unless he was in some sort of trouble.

Everyone in Rion’s family was a caribou Theriantrope. They shared their abilities and family history with Rion at a very young age so that once he was able to shift he was completely comfortable with the idea. The tight knit, supportive family made it so that Rion never felt like an outsider for his abilities. Fedir was able to shift by the time Rion was born and he would often give the young Rion rides on his back when he was in his caribou form.

The family had a fairly lucrative wood carving business. Their talents were renowned in Kiev and the surrounding areas and their clientele came from every class. The boys were brought up in the wood shaping business and quickly became comfortable with the tools of the trade, the types of wood and the quiet patience that carving by hand required. Rion took to the quiet work immediately and fell to work fervently at his father’s side. Once he was done with his education he decided not to go to college but instead work alongside his father. Unlike Rion, Fedir did not take to the wood carving business. He left town for college in Russia as soon as he was old enough. Rion and his parents heard nothing from Fedir after he left town for college. This devastated Rion’s parents. Rion was gravely disappointed in his brother and simply could not understand his discontent with their family.

The years passed and rumors circulated about unrest within the world. Rion’s parents were both killed in a fire that consumed their entire wood-working shop. Luckily Rion had been away with some relatives in a neighboring town. The police said it was a homicidal-arson. Whoever had burned the shop had had a deep grudge against his parents. Rion couldn’t believe that anyone would have such a grudge against his parents. He tried desperately to get a hold of his brother but failed. After a few months the police contacted Rion with the news that his parents had been in a deep debt to some lenders involved with the Russian mafia. They’d failed to pay their dues in time and had paid the price. Rion was filled with rage and for the first time in his life a need for revenge. The police told him that he was lucky that he wasn’t killed as well, and that they would do everything they could to bring the killers to justice. Yet, everyone who had two wits about them knew that there was no way justice would be served when the mafia was involved.

Rion was left to scrape a life out of what was left from the family savings he inherited. He worked a few odd jobs and try to re-shape an identity for himself that was devoid of everything he’d known before. Though he was quiet and docile by nature his need for revenge was not sated by anything and the poverty in which he was now forced to live did nothing but fuel his anger. He was also bitter towards his brother for deserting everyone and leaving Rion to pick up the pieces. He bought himself a gun on the black market with what little cash he could scrape up. He trained himself to use it in the countryside where he wouldn’t be bothered. The police had given him the names of those thought to be associated with his parent’s killers.

A year later, just as Rion arrived in Odessa to exact the revenge on his parents’ killers, that would surely claim his life as well, the world truly started to fall apart. There had been endless news reports and growing chaos in the streets concerning a new virus that was rapidly spreading itself around the world. Rion had let most of it fall onto a deaf ear as his entire focus was on finding the right men and pulling the trigger.

It wasn’t long after Rion arrived in Odessa that all travel had been suspended leaving him stuck in Odessa. Still he managed to sneak into the penthouse of the men he intended to kill. What he found was certainly not what he expected, but in the end his search for revenge had saved his life.

The two men he’d come to kill were dead along with a few of the staff that had attended them. However there was one girl around Rion’s age that was still alive. She was running around the house gathering money, clothes, and other objects and shoving them into a suitcase. When she turned and saw Rion she dropped all of it and whipped a gun out of his skirt. They stood there for what seemed like an eternity with their guns pointed at each other.

Eventually Rion confessed to her the reason he’d come to Odessa and why he was standing there before her. He broke down and let his gun fall from his hand. She lowered hers and neared him, taking his gun. She put a free hand on his shoulder. She told him her name was Anya and that anyone who’d come to kill her corrupt boss’ was a friend in her book. She smiled at him and told him that she was leaving for some place safe. He didn’t quite understand what she meant.

She explained the virus and everything that had been going on in the world that he’d been so oblivious to the last couple of weeks. She also explained that different people were immune to the virus and that they had created a safe place for others like them where the foolish acts of the human race could not harm them. After she shared what she was with him he only felt it fair to tell her of his abilities. Rion agreed to follow her, for what else did he have to lose?

The next week was total chaos. A series of moving from one covered truck to another, to walking for miles in bleak empty countryside, to boats and rafts. To this day he hardly remembers a thing about his journey to Elysium. It was almost as if he awoke one day from a dream to the beautiful mountain sanctuary. He of course learned all about the destruction that ensued in the outside world very soon after their arrival. He was able to set himself up in a small cottage in the forest near the Van'taurë Lake.

With the help of Anya, Rion settled quite nicely into life at Elysium. Of course the noise of the outside world was enough to drive anyone mad and he spent his first few weeks there thinking of nothing other than the person he’d become after his parents’ deaths and the fact that his brother was still out there.

Rion is still trying to forgive himself for the murders he never committed. Although he was never able to pull the trigger on the two men he’d linked to the murder of his parents he still felt guilty for letting himself get to that point. It was so contrary to everything that Rion was and it scared him that he let himself go to such an extent. Because deep inside, he knows that if he had found those men alive he would have not hesitated a second to pull the trigger.

Rion has since found a job as an assistant at the wood shaper’s shop. He’s found comfort in the work he used to hold so dear and share with his parents. Slowly, he has regained the person he once was. Though he still searches for forgiveness for a crime he never committed.
