Biography:
Tatyana, born in 2026, is the daughter of Makari and Nadia Gorodetsky. Nadia died when Tatyana was two, and her father raised her from then on. Makari worked for The Vasiliv family as head of Security at Nebesa’s Gate Casino earning his protecting the Vasiliev family, their business interests, and putting pressure on high end clients and those who renege on their gambling debts. His hard work even earned him the friendship of the Vasiliev Patriarch, Konstantin.
From a young age, Makari began to train his daughter in martial arts and self defense. The Vasiliev’s, a rather sexist family, did not see this as appropriate, but Konstantin turned a blind eye to this. After all, Tatyana was not his child, and it did not interfere with Makari’s duties to the organization. Tatyana, thrilled to spend time with her father, learned these lessons and eventually would spend her free time in dojos learning tai kwan do, boxing, wrestling, muay thai, and aikido. When her father could spare time, they would have individual sessions where she would learn how to combine these styles together. Tatyana always expressed interest in following in her father’s footsteps and working security at the casino. It was a desire she was told constantly would never come to fruition.
Growing up at the Casino, Tatyana would often come into contact with the Vasiliev family - particularly the children. Not really a member of the Vasiliev family, they viewed Tatyana generally with indifference. The two outliers being Grisha, who was generally kind to her, making sure to say hello or smile when they passed each other, and Sofia, who viewed her with animosity. This came to a head during the Nebesa’s Gate Christmas Party of 2044. Sofia, 24, was trying to gain the favor of a young man, who would later ask Tatyana, 18, for a dance. Sofia, jealous, would remember this.
Shortly after the party, Makari would pass away in a tragic car accident. As a result of her father’s service to the family, Konstantin expressed his condolences to Tatyana, and offered her a position within the Casino restaurant as well as an apartment to live in. Disappointed, Tatyana would ask if she could join the security team. She offered a demonstration of her skills to prove herself. Konstantin, his eyes cold, refused and reminded Tatyana that that he was looking after her because of her father, that work was not suitable for her, and she should be grateful. Cowed, Tatyana began her mundane work for the family, but would often sneak around the club, sticking her nose in business she didn’t belong in. Sofia began to sow seeds of discord against Tatyana, and it began to ripple slowly through the family that Tatyana was both violent and ungrateful.
Something broke within Tatyana after that. She fell into a deep depression. Sensing her grief, Grisha would give her a first dose of a drug to calm her down. She began to medicate frequently, using the drug to deal with the loss of her father and disappointment in her work. . Sofia added untrustworthy junkie to her rumors. As words began to circulate, the people around her, Vasilievs and employees alike, would notice her grumbles a little more, contributing not only to Sofia’s rumors, but that Tatyana also harbored a grudge against Konstantin.
What she saw as an act of kindness, would cause her to develop feelings for Grisha. Sofia would notice this, and decided that now was the time to get rid of the young woman. The rumors she planted were circulating, which meant her father had been hearing them, all she needed was something that would show Tatyana was a lost cause.
When a knife disappeared from the armory, there was enough to suspect that Tatyana may have stolen it. When she was searched, the knife was found. Konstantin had had enough. She was dismissed from her job, and thrown out on the street with the words “You are a disgrace to your father’s name,” ringing in her ears.
Tatyana had nowhere to go and no one to go to. All she had to her name was the clothes on her back and the pills that Grisha had given her. Filled with grief from the loss of both her father and the only life she had ever known, Tatyana began to take the pills more often. Her first night out, she would find another beggar. He had a coat, blankets and food. High, she would try to steal them, the beggar fought back, but he had no training. Even drug addled, Tatyana’s instincts would have been enough to overpower him, but she hadn’t needed to fight. As she moved to fight, the beggar was sent back by an unseen force. Tatyana didn’t check on his crumpled body, just found another place to partake of the spoils.
The next morning, Tatyana would wake up, having no memory of the incident. She became violently ill, and was taken in by some red cross workers who nursed her back to health. When she was able to leave, she did, making sure they had not taken her pills. She wanted nothing of their kindness.
The next couple of years, Tatyana would learn how to live on the streets. It was a cutthroat world. Her fighting skills would be used to protect herself and to get what she needed. She would beg and steal, and she had no issues with stealing from the other homeless. Now fully addicted, money was used to buy drugs, if she lacked food, she’d steal it. She would soon become aware that Three Trinities Haven Church would offer food, clothing, and blankets. She became a frequent visitor there.
Her life would begin to take a different turn on a day she decided to take her food from the church to the nearby streets. She longed for solitude. She was followed by three men, who decided what she had belonged to them. A fight broke out, and they were unskilled, but Tatyana was high, and her reactions, even though instinctual, were slower. Two of the men grabbed her and acting on instinct, she moved back, trying to get to the wall. The third approached, she lifted her legs to kick him in the chest. She channeled for the second time and the last was thrown against the wall of the building opposite. The two men holding her loosened their grip, and she took advantage. Her elbow took one of them in the jaw, and she hit the other with a uppercut to the chin. She left the three men, unconscious and no longer a threat, and found a place to eat in silence. As she finished, her high beginning to wear off, her attention was drawn to a small clinking sound down the alley. Curious, she went to investigate and found on the ground a strange coin with a grinning face on it.
