Nikolai Vosiliev

From Incantatem

This article is on the character Nikolai Vosiliev, a Healer in the RPG Incantatem.

The Shady Past

Nikolai “Kolya” Vosiliev was born to the rich roots of pure magical heritage, given unto him by his mother, Sonia, and his father, Konstantin. Their pudgy little blot of a son continuously amazed them as he grew older, always tinkering with magic, forever fascinated and awaiting that day when he would waltz on into Durmstrang, the exalted, speculated as strictly ‘pureblood’ Magic School of which both his parents, and their parents before them, and their parents before them---well, you get the gist--- had gone to.

When that day finally came, poor little Kolya (who had, by this time, ‘stretched out’ into a strapping and healthy looking eleven-year old) stood wrapped in his shawls and his overly large tsigeika coat, shuddering in fear at the other burly lads and ladies crossing the threshold, stunning old friends with curses and using words he had never heard before. Eventually, Nikolai grew accustomed to this vigorous, dark way of living, and managed to come out of Durmstrang seven years later, basically unscathed and with a passionate ideal of being a Healer. He had encountered so much dark magic in his school, so much violence…that the instilling warmth inside him was tugged out by this existence, till the very end.

It is true that Kolya dealt with dark magic in school, and it was damn near impossible to avoid it. This also holds to a more shady truth that during his seventh year of schooling, he was remarkably and almost incurably close in toeing alliances with Death Eaters--- and had been toeing the line of becoming one himself. However, at the realization that his future ideals of helping people and finally getting away from the cold and brutal life he lived, he fled, only a few days after his seventh year,. Of course…this realization only came to after a particularly nasty bout of torture came his way after being locked to a dungeon wall with the 'Incarcerous' spell, weaved unto him by a few D.E’s in training--- a pretty bad reproduction ‘fraternity hazing‘, if you asked Kolya. Now that he was free from a callous, and perhaps even bloody schooling, Kolya took it upon himself to venture out to St.Mungo’s, where he has found affection, and the heart he had lost those last few years at Durmstrang.

The Shining Future

Nikolai has been working his way up the ranks as a Healer at St.Mungo's for about seventeen years now, and through such diligent work he is one of the most well-respected, well-rounded MediWizards at the Facility. He is not alone, however, and two of his friend/cohorts who are also excelling due along with his guidance are Nefertari Menes, and Danielle Reid. Both of these young women seem to look up to Nikolai in other ways than perhaps just a mentor, affectionate ways, but it is unknown at the moment, whether Kolya receives or is even aware of this.

Other acquaintances of his have been made by way of his healing abilities. Frequent visits from a trio of Aurors--- Gavin Hart, Thomas Cummings, and William Ryder--- on more than one occasion has allowed him to get to know them better, apart from their norm of Death Eater-induced afflictions. Gavin', Kolya knows a little better than the other two, as he has tended to his self-inflicted wounds after the man has transformed into a werewolf more times than either of them can count.
