Character Overview

Major Ivanov is the last soldier of a forgotten war—a man bred for duty, honor, and national pride. A former naval officer turned cosmonaut, his journey to Mars was not an ambition, but a posting. He took it out of duty, and perhaps because Earth no longer had any place left for men like him.

He was once a towering presence in Russian space command—disciplined, respected, unflinchingly loyal. But years on Mars, surrounded by broken infrastructure, fading flags, and unanswered requests from Moscow, have eroded the clear edges of his identity.

He commands what’s left of Vostok. Barely. The walls leak. Supplies are scarce. And the world he once defended now watches him with indifference.

Key Traits

Strengths

✔ Command Presence – Ivanov still carries authority in his voice and posture. People stand straighter when he enters. His leadership may be rigid, but it keeps morale from shattering.

✔ Veteran's Clarity – He sees through political performance and posturing. What matters is survival—everything else is background noise.

✔ Stubborn Patriot – His loyalty to Russia is both a strength and a weakness. He refuses to be a puppet to Earth’s shifting alliances.

✔ Dark Humor – Beneath the military stoicism lies a biting wit, often surfacing in sarcasm, barbs, or provocations meant to test others.

Flaws

✖ Pride to the Point of Ruin – Ivanov would rather let the station rot than beg for help. To him, dignity is worth dying for—even if others disagree.

✖ Distrust of Outsiders – Whether Chinese, American, or Martian-born, Ivanov assumes manipulation until proven otherwise.

✖ Tired and Bitter – He knows he’s becoming obsolete and resents the world for moving on without him.

✖ Poor Adaptability – While he endures, he doesn’t often evolve. Change doesn’t suit him—it threatens his identity.
