We need a Rasputin

We sure do, nonnie. Imagine how much drama that would cause, not just for Anya and Dimitri, but for the whole town.

BIOGRAPHY

To work in the palace was a great honor, or so Dimitri’s father kept telling him along with how lucky Dimitri was that he got him a job when such a thing was scarce. Nevermind that Dimitri was only a young boy when he started working in the kitchen. Still, in a way it was a magical childhood despite the harshness of the kitchen staff and his father’s constant drinking. Dimitri grew up around everything that glittered and shined though he was never permitted to touch or even stare at them too long, the young princess especially.

It was easy for Dimitri to get overlooked, in fact most of the time no one took notice of him at all which gave him leave to explore the palace. There wasn’t a soul alive who knew the palace better than Dimitri so when he saw the young princess and her grandmother get separated fleeing royals he knew he could get them out safely. The young girl may not have ever known his name let alone that he existed before that moment of pushing them through a secret passage, but he knew she didn’t deserve to die. Dimitri stayed behind to face the angry mob to buy them enough time to escape. Of course he was only a child and was easily knocked aside.

Dimitri never knew if the young princess made it out safely, he had only rumors of her fate. He held on to her golden box that she thought was worth risking her life to remember her by. Though, as he got older and the boyish crush wore off he told himself that he kept it to complete the ultimate con. After the fall of the Czar Dimitri only had his wit to get by on, and in order to survive he did whatever he needed to do.Stealing, forging, whatever he could. He had a knack for it after all. With the help Vladimir, a fellow conman and the best forger around, Dimitri made a name for himself in Saint Petersburg. Dimitri was the one to go to for forged papers or anything that someone might need.

Finally it came time to complete the greatest con in history, the con that would set him and Vlad up for life: returning the beloved Princess Anastasia to her grandmother. He had her golden music box, he had the inside knowledge to convince the Dowager, and he had three tickets to Paris. All he needed was the right girl to play the part. Finding her was difficult, of course, but when he did, she was amazing. But these things never go as planned no matter how carefully planned they are. First, he made the mistake of dancing with her and started to develop feelings for her. Second, she wasn’t pretending; she really was the lost princess. Third, she overheard about the money.

Before he could tell her the truth about who she was, the con, or even how he felt, she was slapping him across the face and running out of the ballet. He knew he couldn’t convince her that he never meant to hurt her, but he could at least make things right by reuniting her with her grandmother. At leas,t that was the plan. However, before he could, he was pulled into this new world. This world wasn’t all that different from what he knew, not really anyway. Dimitri saw a need for the right papers, though it wasn’t always easy getting people who were often suspicious to trust him enough. But everything is easier when you’re connected. He didn’t know if Anya was even in Fableton, but when he found her, he did what he should have done from the beginning and told her the truth. Much to his surprise she believed him and even forgave him, proving that maybe kitchen boys do end up with the princess.

CONNECTIONS

Anastasia Romanoff: He loves her that much he knows, but he can’t begin to understand what’s going on with her. Dimitri would do anything to keep her safe and to make her happy even if that means opening his mind to something otherworldly.

Megara Valis: He has no idea why his co-worker is hostile towards him, but he tries to stay away from her as much as possible. It makes it a bit lonely to work there, but he’s used to that.

Hades Drakos: Dimitri doesn’t trust him by any means, but they have an understanding. Hades gives him names of anyone who might be in need of official papers and Dimitri gives him a cut of the profit.

ALTERNATE FACECLAIMS: Aaron Tveit, Dave Franco

Anya: Idiot.

Dimitri: That fact is well established and adds nothing to the plot.

PAUL WESLEY? No, that’s DIMITRI BURKOV, HE is the 30 year old OWNER OF PAPER HEARTS DAYCARE and father of a 13 YEAR OLD BOY. They’re living in that quaint little cul-de-sac in Maple Bay, and are often referred to as the DAYCARE DAD. They’re usually described as CORDIAL, INTUITIVE but also HAUGHTY, IMPATIENT from what I hear. [KARA/26/ SHE/HER/CST]

ACCEPTED!

Dressed to the nines Dimitri often liked to look his best, but that desire only doubled when the chance to attend Hynne arrived. With such good company too. Regardless of who paid for the meal or when, Burkov already felt quite spoiled. To exist in the walls of a fine dining restaurant that required reservation, well, the man was enjoying old comforts. Without stepping foot outside of Maple Bay. Amazing.

“Their cheese assortment is great, but can’t compare to the tray they serve at The Biltmore in Coral Gables--with honeycomb, too.” He still savored that trip, the tastes and smells, days spent poolside. Then Dimitri had a sobering thought, “But with the hurricanes. Oh god.”

DIMITRI BURKOV

PLEASE USE CAUTION.  THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING MENTIONS OF ALCOHOLISM.

Upon arriving in Fableton it became clear to Dimitri that there was a great need for a forger and it wasn’t like he didn’t have experience. Working for Hades helped him know who was in need of a social security number or birth certificate. It wasn’t too hard really. Granted not having Vlad around made him have to work on his penmanship, but if anyone needed the appropriated papers Dimitri is the guy to come to at least if you can afford his price.

Dimitri has a pet allergy, mostly to dogs. It’s nothing serious just the case of sniffles and puffy eyes.

Despite being a bartender Dimitri doesn’t drink, his father was an alcoholic and he had struggled with it back in Russia. Vlad was the one who pulled him out of the gutter before and now Dimitri doesn’t touch the stuff so that he doesn’t fall down the same path of his father.

Dimitri can truly sleep anywhere, a skill he had to develop when he was a child. It doesn’t matter if it’s his bed or the Underworld’s storeroom. Though sometimes he does talk in his sleep usually only saying something ridiculous and incoherent.

He hates trains even more so since the train incident with Anya. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like he’ll ever have to board one again.

Even though he’ll admit there’s a lot of crazy things that happen in Fableton Dimitri doesn’t believe in magic or curses. Which considering how he got to Fableton is a bit odd, but he believes that there’s a perfectly logical reason for it all. Just don’t ask him what that logical reason is.

[notquitefableton]

Dimtiri: Quick, punch me in the face!

Meg: Punch you?

Dimitri: Yes, punch me, in the face. Didn't you hear me?

Meg: I always hear "punch me in the face" when you're speaking, but it's usually subtext.

[notquitefableton]

I don’t think I would go as far as to deliver someone’s baby or be in the room for the birth. At least not someone I didn’t cause the uh pregnancy, but then again I’m worried it would be like watching your favorite place burn down.”

Dimitri Burkov (to Rian Quillan)

[fabletongossip]

Anya doesn't remember Dimitri, Dimitri got drunk, got in a fight with Pierce, and now it looks like he's getting arrested. Anything I missed?

One little detail, nonnie. Dimitri and Anya are supposed to be getting drinks. I’m not sure he’ll be able to make that date considering he’s in jail… Yikes.

THE UNDERWORLD

It’s a bar, it’s a strip club, it’s a front for all kinds of shenanigans.  The only person who knows everything that goes on in its dark corners and back rooms is the proprietor, Hades Drakos.  Modeled after the Underworld he once ruled below the actual Olympus, different areas serve different purposes and he’s not too keen on intermixing. The bar portion is nice enough, especially by Olympus’ standards, and most people who come in will have no idea about the other goings on.  Some of the employees know, but have turned a blind eye or a deaf ear so long as no one gets hurt during their shift. 

Employees:

Hades Drakos: Owner Dimitri Burkov: Bartender Kamna Fang: Exotic Dancer Lauren “Lock” Camden: Busboy
