If they could go anywhere and do anything for a day, what would they choose?

Juan - The beach, and to relax/get a nice meal and go swim in the ocean. Or else the bar, drink and socialize with his friends.

Igor - To a nice restaurant, and have a healthy meal. Or else to the arcade to unwind and relax.

Where do they see themselves in ten years?

What are their worst memories?

Which one of them would be more likely to get into a bar fight? (And would they win?)

Since they’re bothin their mid 40s now…

Juan - Hopefully not dead with diabetes or a heart attack. He really loves his tacos, coffee, cake, bacon and could work out more in his free time.

Igor - Retiring in some beach home somewhere mild. He almost has enough money saved up to finish payingoff all his debts, and buy a new mansion.

Both of them are from High School, funnily enough.

Juan - The teacher that tried to assault him in school.

Igor - Being sent to the group home for blowing up at his bully and breaking his nose.

Well, both of them for different reasons.

Juan - If he was drunk, and someone started to push him around. He would physically fight back, and probably get kicked outta the bar.

Igor - If someone started to insult him, or his honor and started to fire random insults at him. He would get mad and start to fight back.

Juan does, Igor doesn’t. He is freaked out by them.

Is Igor Slavic? If not, then how’d he get a name like Igor ? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

No, Igor is not Slavic. Igor is an American of Latino descent, and he is also transgender. His birth name (dead name) was Paula and wanted to change it, so he liked what Igor meant (warrior), and he thought that it went with his surname, Valdez, and changed his middle name to Aron.

When he was 21, he legally changed it on his birth certificate and licenses also.

I, however have Viktor Yeltski (a rapper from an unreleased story called sixteen bars), Ivan Polyakov (a crazy wizard who has his own race of mutant bears and lives in the forest) and Dmitri Pavlyuchenko (a guy who hates his job as a hooker, funnily enough) as my main characters of Slavic descent.
