[The walls were very white and very boring. It was dumb!]

[So this little 11-year-old took it upon himself to find a box of Crayola markers and pretty up the walls of the Nexus. Plus, his parents never let him draw on the walls at home, and how could he pass up such a golden opportunity? As long as they wouldn't find out, because, uh...he didn't want to get in trouble.]

[While it wasn't expected for a kid his age to be Picasso, it was at least sort-of-decent for his age. You could tell what most animals were supposed to be, and he even stayed in the lines (mostly)! Many were also drawings of his favourite Russian cartoon characters, but being from 1949 it was doubtful anybody except a fellow Russian (or Russian enthusiast) would recognize them.]

((ooc: I need to use little Ivan more, so here's a post.))

[Ivan still didn't know where he was, except that it was big and white, and looked nothing like the brown and red of his home despite having gotten here from entering his parents' wardrobe earlier (in search of the crayons they hid from him).

The small boy of only eleven wore a paperboy hat over his white-blonde hair, and the uniform of a Young Pioneer; it would be obvious to fellow Russians, but that was likely it. His back was pressed to the wall, a package of cookies in his lap. He was munching away, paying no mind to his surroundings after running from Miss Rose, who wanted him to eat real food first.]

((ooc: there's some headcanon info and a very brief history in his profile. he naturally speaks no English, so the Nexus granted him that ability. his special ability is 11-YEAR-OLD SHIN KICK))
