Aw this girl I know loves that stuff. I'm actually finishing up a graphic novel, and designs for a beat-em-up style game for PSN/360Arcade(KOFXIII style 2D) with that theme-called "Epidemic of Violence". Its about these two brothers who are separated at birth because of a satanic gang(one is called "Rage of the Fallen"). One of them-the older one (Gavriil 28) is actually taken to Russia and raised by a middle aged mafia boss who trains him and raises him as a son. I kinda modeled him after Uri Boyka from Undisputed II/III though I did not give him the mustache but the goatee and heavy stubble ha.
Younger brother (Michael 23) grows up in the States, but in an orphanage but is taken in by a martial artist at 9 and begins his training. The two brothers actually do meet each other for the first time in prison, they don't know each other obviously or even suspect that they are brothers since one is all Russian lol. They also do not get along too well at first, but when they find out and all the older one becomes very protective of the other one. I kind of made their relationship as brothers after David and Johnathan, there's a lot of biblical influence in the story actually. HA I designed the younger brother after the dude Christian Howard who plays Ken in the Street Fighter Legacy fan made movie.
The older brother doesn't even like when the younger one swears too much though of course the older one swears a hell of a lot. He also often calls his younger brother "Misha" which is the affectionate or pet name version of Mikhail/Michael (he pronounces both their names in Russian form). The younger one also takes the last name of the older one (they don't know their birth given last names since both of them had suffered severe memory loss, and only remembered their first names because of a dream). The older one was given the name Urivich which is a nod to the character Uri Boyka in Undisputed II/III, in Hebrew it also means "My Light". The name also reminds him of the brief period of piece had growing up on a farm when he briefly tried to hide from his killers, and before he went to prison lol
The younger one has a respectful fear of the older one because of his past and his skill. At the same time because of the past of the older brother-the younger one often goes out of his way to accommodate the older one because he feels he had a much harder life. They also have a playful rivalry, though cautious on the younger brother's side because of the respectful fear.
The older brother sometimes acts fatherly to the younger one, since he didn't have one growing up, he also constantly keeps the younger brother's temper in check as well lol. He'll also read his bible to him which the younger one cannot read since it is in Russian ha. The younger brother likes the sound of his brother's voice while he's reading/translating because it reminds him of what their father would have been like, though he speaks a different language, and has a heavy accent its the tone that reminds him of such-but yeah the story is so influenced from the bible, and martial arts. The two brothers are also not entirely human, they are Nephilim (offspring of angel). |
