He would've worked until the railway was completed but his young features were starting to raise questions after so many years. |
Timeline
Personality type: Executive (ESTJ-A)
|
Personality
On first look he might come off as dangerous guy, with a tall and rather muscular physique, but he's actually quite charismatic and easy to get along with. While he can make up conversation off the bat about the most trivial of subjects with people who aren't really close to him, he prefers to keep away from some topics, such as his private life and his family. There are many layers that you need to go through in order to really befriend him, something that takes time and patience. Guarded by nature, it takes time to really know him. Just because he listens and and offers a good advice if possible that doesn't mean you're suddenly his best friend. For those who do know him, he appears even more easy going than he is with strangers. Illya envoys a good laugh or a rather unorthodox joke and he won't back away from a silly prank or a good innocent laugh on someone else's behalf. While he does offer advice, he's reluctant in offering help to people who aren't close to him. There's a line between acting friendly and actually being friends with someone. |

The warlock as a necromancer
Necromancy was never part of his training nor was it a study he ever thought to pursue. His studies and lessons were indended to set him on a healer's path, something that his family was into for generations. No one ever considered that Illya would pick such a magical school, something so different and so opposing to their usual magic.
However, when he started to show interest in the darker side of magic it came as a shock for the entire family. It only lasted for a few weeks, though, after which his parents supported him in his choices. Just because Illya was interested in a different sort of magic that didn't mean he was suddenly an outcast. His family embraced his decisions and the new ideas that he shared with them as part of his studies.
Although morbid, Illya gets rather proud of himself whenever he resurrects someone, be it an animal or a person. The accomplishment of getting a corpse to move is a sort of happiness that makes him feel superior to other magic practitioners. It's one thing to heal or kill someone. It's common. But to bring someone back to life and to allow that person to experience a new life is something different entirely. He considers it a blessing. This is why he is reluctant when it comes to bringing people back to life. He needs to know about the person's motivations and ideas of life before agreeing to anything.
Appearance when using his powers
As he is a warlock, the blood in his veins contains magic. Therefore this is the only indication that Illya isn't human. When worn out - as using magic means using energy - black veins will appear on his skin. The back of the neck, sides of the face and back of the hands are the most common area for these veins to be visible although if exhausted then they can cover his entire body. If using his magic for long periods of time, his eyes will turn black, starting from the iris and spreading until the sclera is covered completely.

Illya as a bartender
Illya is aware that he could aspire for more in life, but being a bartender is not something he wants to give up to anytime soon. He enjoys the experiences the job brings, from the boring nights when the usual clients are all he sees to the crazy ones when people throw parties and and live their lives in such an irresponsible way. Seeing people have fun and being able to be part of most of that is something that he enjoys a lot. He also likes the occasional fights, where he gets to step in and break people apart. But most of all, he anjoys all the stories he gets to hear from complete strangers who stumble in the bar, eager to pour out their soul to the kind and smiling bartender. He's lost count of how many stories about cheating partners he's heard but he never gets bored of them. They make him feel more human, part of a world he clearly doesn't belong to. |
Past notes
Illya grew up with his family in a small comunity of warlocks and witches, so seeing people use magic was something very common for him. He attended a school dedicated to magic users and studied more about magic than he did about subjects that were considered standard for the rest of the human population. He was taught how to behave around humans, how to respect them and how to keep his magic hidden. He was a rather happy child, enjoying the small things in life, as his parents made sure to keep him away from the grandeur some magic users displayed. He was always helpful and he trusted strangers too much for his own good, which, unfortunately, proved to be fatal. Illya was just a child when a beggar asked him for some coins. Of course he wanted to help, but what he didn't know was that the beggar wanted more than just a few coins. The incident turned into an assault, which resulted in his mother's death as she was trying to protect him from the attacker. He got a scar from that assault and a guilt that he carries with him to this day, blaming himself for his stupidity, knowing that nothing would've happened if he hadn't been so trusting with a stranger. |
Family
Father - Ivan Belkin Mother - Mila Belkina † Brother (younger) - Luka Belkin |
Relationship with his family
Although no one blames Illya for his mother's death, he still feels a little reluctant in communicating with his family after the incident. He holds great respect for his father and is grateful for his support throughout Illya's life. Even if he prefers to keep his distance, Illya keeps in touch with his family, always concerned about his father's health and what new troubles his younger brother has gotten into. Illya tries to not be an absent older brother when it comes to Luka. He offers advice whenever needed and is always there to help. Whenever the two meet, Illya is kind and toughtful but also teaches Luka a few tricks regarding necromancy. |
