Normal [Cheerful | Optimistic | Open Minded | Easy Going | Confident]
Soviet keeps an optimistic outlook on life, and is usually a cheerful and easy going individual. Due to his past, he keeps an open mind to everything, his curiosity and imaginative nature encouraging him to try out new things, even going out of his comfort zone. As a result of this and his past, Soviet feels comfortable in taking any disguises, even wearing make up and cross-dressing. He draws the line at wearing female underwear though.
He has become a kleptomaniac over his years as a thief that stealing has become an unconscious action for him to do. It may happen anytime or anywhere from talking to people or simply passing by. At the end of the day, his pockets and bag is filled to the brim with stolen items while people find themselves lighter and bereft of their possessions.
He likes his freedom and independence, and dislikes anything that would take it away from him. He likes keeping his options open and finds it difficult to make a definite choice. He has the tendency to overthink things, wondering what would happen if he had chosen or acted different, and often complicating things even when they had the simplest solution.
Work [ Observant | Adaptive | Flexible | Swift | Alert ]
People often double take when they see Soviet at work, as he can suddenly change his appearance and personality at the drop of a hat. They often mistook him for having Bipolar or Multiple Personality disorder because of this.
He is constantly aware and observant of his surroundings. He is in the belief that there are no irrelevant actions, that everything is part of something bigger. His observations has become keen and intuition sharp that he can tell anything about a person from their clothes, their movements and their personality. People often find it creepy or intimidating, so he keeps his findings to himself, unless prompted to or if he feels the information can help someone.
He is confident on himself and his abilities but there are times where he gets too overconfident, underestimating the situation or his opponent. It has always landed him into trouble, which he barely gets out of in one piece.
He has learned to be adaptable and be flexible in any situations, responding quicky and taking action to whatever life throws at him.

[ S U M M A R Y ]
Soviet was born as James White, from a bunny mother and a human father, who left them behind to live his life. The pregnancy caused scandal, his mother lost her job and he grew up with poverty.
His mother fell ill from overworking and James started stealing in order to buy medicine. Years passed, he became proficient but was soon caught by an old rabbit named Mr. Raynolds, a fellow and more experienced thief, who took him under his wing.
His mother passed away soon after and Mr. Raynolds took him in and trained him. James became Soviet. When he turned 18, they caught the attention of POSRA during Martial Law. Mr. Raynolds gave himself up and took all the crimes, sparing Soviet.
Soviet laid low but disobeyed the orders, searching for Mr. Raynolds while going off the grid and on the run. Soviet finally managed to get the information, only to get nothing as Mr. Raynolds was missing from POSRA, with the convoy containing him not even arriving at end point in the first place.
Soviet decides to go to a refugee camp to see if Mr. Raynolds was there, but when he arrived, he wasn't. He decided it would be a safe place to stay for a while in order to recuperate and plan his next move.
[ H I S T O R Y ]
I. The Beginning
James White grew up with the stories of his mother on stage, as an actress performing plays in a small theater. He loved hearing those stories, not because of the plays, but the concept of acting itself, the way each actor would portray their characters and become someone completely different with the right make up and clothes.
James White is the result of a whirlwind romance between his mother, an aspiring rabbit actress, and his father, a rich young man. The relationship fell5 apart at the end as the man realized that he valued his inheritance more than his 'beloved Maria' and left them to marry the fiance his parents has chosen for him. The ensuing scandal ensured that the actress lost her job.
She did not mind though, as she loved her unborn son more. James White grew in poverty but rich in love
The two lived peacefully near the outskirts of the slums, the mother juggling between taking care of her baby and taking jobs. When he was old enough, James was determined to help his mother, to at least lessen the burden for her. He took on small jobs, ones that would take him in despite his young age. He delivered newspapers, weeded gardens, carried packages, washed dishes, took out the trash.
It was all well until his mother fell ill when he turned 12.
What money they had was quicky drained for medicine. His mother could no longer work and what James earned was not enough.
If he could not earn it, then he has to steal it.
For the sake of his mother, he turned to theft. He started out small and cautious, taking little of what he can. Trinkets he can sell, coins that no one would miss. A bracelet here and there, an apple for a snack. Slowly, he became more daring, taking things of bigger value. Purses, jewelries, cards.
He was small and fast, and he quickly took advantage of it, seamlessly weaving into crowds and depriving people of their possessions left and right. He learned how to pick his targets, to be able to tell anything about them from what they wore, how they moved and how they behaved. He learned how to be inconspicuous, how to not draw suspicion or how to act innocent.
Then he found about how people's reactions differs with a change of mannerism and clothes. People were more softer on little girls and less suspicious on them. Vendors would be more willing to lower their prices or give them free items.
He started to disguise himself, between weeks or days, going out different each time. One day he was a young blonde girl, the next day he was a raven haired boy. His mother had kept her costumes from her time as an actress, the ones she didn't have the heart to sell (and every time she tried, he convinced her not to, even throwing tantrums. He knows how much those meant to his mother.) He wore wigs, he wore dresses, he wore make up. His disguises opened a lot of opportunities for him.
He didn't know it yet at that time, but that was when the idea of Soviet was born.
II. Old Man Ray
He made a mistake.
Or could it be considered the right one?
He stared in bafflement at the old rabbit looking down at him with a cheerful smile. He introduced himself as Mr. Rei Raynolds .
James had pickpocketed him and Mr. Raynolds pursued him, ensuing in a chase that ended with him being cornered into a dead end. However, instead of a beating or an angry berate, the old rabbit...praised him? Mr. Raynolds had been impressed with his skill and saw potential for more, he said. He offered to teach him.
James thought of his mother and took the hand.
---
and then she died.
Just a week after he accepted Mr. Raynold's offer, she passed away. For the past year, her health had detoriated despite the medicines he bought. She was the husk of her former self but she still retained her smile, which she had on her final moment. She asked him to live on and to have a happy future.
He mourned and moved on. For her.
Mr. Raynolds took him in, and gave him a new identity. To separate the two lives, he said. One for crime and one for the public.
James White became Soviet, a thief in training.
At the age of 18, Soviet was on the road to become a master thief. His repertoire of skills and disguises expanded and refined until everything second nature to him.
They had pulled a lot of heists over the years, dodging law enforcement and coming triumphant with stolen goods. They stole from stores, warehouses, anywhere they could get in, they tried and succeeded.
Then Martial Law was declared. Everything became harder, and more troubles came up at every heist. Security had been upped and became tighter, everyone became suspicious of every thing and POSRA was everywhere. They had nearly been caught multiple times, despite being more careful and planned their heists carefully down to a T. Being a rabbit in these times was dangerous, and even if they took disguises and hid their traits, it didn't last long.
POSRA finally found them.
Mr. Raynolds knew. He kicked Soviet out and took the fall. He had known they were going to get caught and had assigned Soviet on a scouting errand, then gave himself up. He basically left a message that told him to live his life and the he won't forgive him if he went after him.
Of course Soviet disobeyed. The old rabbit was like a father to him. He went off the grid, and stopped being Soviet for a while, taking in a new identity to get trough the chaos ensuing around him. He hunted for any answer or information he could get about the prisoners of POSRA and their location. He ran himself ragged, dodging POSRA's attention while searching high and low for his mentor. He nearly lost himself as he took on and discarded disguises, going through them as fast as a he can.
He finally got his opening during the chaos and found nothing. Nothing but a single file report stating that the transporting convoy containing Mr. Raynolds was missing, that it didn't even get back after it departed.
If Mr. Raynolds wasn't in POSRA, where could he be?
III. Hunt
He retreated to the refugee camps, having mistakenly thought that Mr. Raynolds might have gone there after the broadcast. It was a safe place, especially for someone like him. If nothing else, it would be a place where he could lay low for a while and recover. He had no idea where to even start, now that he knew that the old rabbit was not in POSRA's clutches.
His mind went back to the broadcast.
....
BJBB.
If he could join them...
Maybe he'll be able to find answers?
[ MISCELLANEOUS ]
- He has become a kleptomaniac, to the point where he unconciously steals anything he can fit into his pocket or pouch. No one is safe from his wandering hands, and at the end of the day, he is filled to the brim with stolen goods while people find themselves bereft of their possessions.
- In his past, since he couldn't afford to buy new clothes for his disguises, he stole from laundries. He wasn't confident enough to steal from shops yet at that time.
- He is a glutton for food, especially if it's free food. He sees leftovers as a crime against food and will quickly scold you for it.
- He usually wears what he calls 'I don't look like a thief' clothes. It helps him get access and mingle in richer areas, and the jacket has a bonus of hiding items.
- If you see a female version of himself walking around, immediately assume it is him. He sometimes like to dress himself up to keep his skills sharp, and because he just wants to.
- He has an entire hoard of costumes, from wigs to clothing of any fashion. He knows his way around make up and can quickly transform your face like magic.
- While he can hold himself in a fight, he's the type of person who'd rather run and dodge his attackers, or knock them out cold if he can. He's a lover (of stolen goods), not a fighter. Besides, killing would just bring too much attention on him.
