MUSE: Artyom Chechyotikov

50% — THE ADVOCATE

The Advocate is the one everyone wants on their side. In the name of justice, they are not afraid to challenge authority or speak up for others.

31% — THE ATHLETE

The Athlete's focus and drive are unparalleled. Staying healthy and being fit are paramount to them (as for winning, that doesn't hurt, either).

19% — THE ROYAL

When the Royal walks into a room, they command attention. They are the one in charge, and they enjoy reaping the rewards of their hard work.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After getting over my initial surprise at Artyom being considered an advocate, I can see why it makes sense for him. These results are pretty accurate to how I want to portray him!

While the justice part of his advocacy is... questionable, given his allegiances, he is very much a team player. There's a reason Makarov chose him to be a commander over Konni's infantry. Why Makarov chose him to be one of his closest guards. Artyom is dutiful to Makarov's cause, and fully believes that they're doing the right thing. Well... mostly. He has his questions, but does well to address those in his own time.

As for athleticism, that's just a given. To be a juggernaut of his stature, he has to be tough. His armor is 150 pounds (minimum), his minigun is roughlu 80 pounds, and he not only has to continually carry it all... He has to be able to move fast. To run and jump in that shit. He's very proud of the fat he's put on while strength changing.

And that sense of royalty almost entirely comes from Makarov. From him being selected and promoted. To becoming a trusted confidante. He gained a good sense of confidence while working for Spetsnaz, but it really flourished under Konni's banner.

BONUS MUSE: Marina Chechyotikov

38% — THE VISIONARY

Leave it to others to live by the status quo. The Visionary is interested in new ways of seeing, solutions not yet imagined, products not yet built.

33% — THE INTELLECTUAL

The Intellectual is the ultimate dinner-party guest. Engaging questions and thoughtful debate are their trademarks.

29% — THE ROYAL

When the Royal walks into a room, they command attention. They are the one in charge, and they enjoy reaping the rewards of their hard work.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Also accurate to how I'm envisioning her whilst creating her and Artyom. The two of them are very similar, but they like... it's kinda shown with their results, but they fall into that "brains versus brawn; two sides of the same coin" dynamic. Their personalities are just, like that. There's also the traditionalist values of the society and environments that come into play, and the difference in expectation between Marina and Artyom that have led to accentuating those differences between them. Anyway—

Marina being considered a visionary is... the best way to summarize her. She sees the world around her as a collection of puzzle pieces, or maybe building blocks. She wants to twist and turn everything to fully understand it. To see what can change, what can't, and what needs to be cast aside or torn down in order to build the "better picture". It's what inspired her work for the government, and then for Makarov.

And a lot of that plays into her intellectualism. Like Artyom, she isn't shy to challenging authority or putting her foot down. She's just more willing to stab at every angle of the problem and dig to uncomfortable depths. That passion for it is why she's become the "master interrogator", and earned a bit of a reputation outside of Konni for being something to fear id one is captured alive.

Naturally, like with Artyom, this led to a high sense of self-confidence. Marina knows what she wants and what she doesn't. She knows her worth, and she fought for her place at the table. Damned be anybody who dares question it or try to take it away.

MEET THE CHECHYOTIKOVS

So I've talked a bit about Artyom, and now I'm working on his actual biography... but did y'all know he also has a sister? Her name is Marina Andreyevna Chechyotikov, and she's the older of the duo. Just as asocial and intimidating, she (like Artyom) is ex-Spetsnaz. The pair of them entered the Russian military together, worked their way up through command, and then left to join the ranks of Makarov after a series of incidents/wave of disillusion. Artyom is the juggernaut. Marina is the interrogation specialist/torturer.

ARTYOM CHECHYOTIKOV — THE JUGGERNAUT

Juggernauts are heavily protected by explosive ordnance disposal armor, requiring excessive amounts of damage to kill.

Because of their armor, these mercenaries do not bother to take cover; their only concern is to get as close as possible to their targets.
