Total Drama Odyssey - Robert Volkov

-Robert Volkov-

Label: The Hot-Blooded Cosmonaut

Age: 17

Born: July 17, 1997

Occupation: Cosmonaut

Bio: Gather around, comrades! Let me tell you about a young man who dreamed of going to the moon...

Robert was born in Russia to his father and mother (who died after his birth) and was interested in the vast expanses of space from an early age. He often looked at books on astrology, studied planets and all sorts of other topics related to space, including aliens (which he does hope to meet some day). One day he hopes to eventually follow in his father's footsteps and explore the vast reaches of space.

Robert also showed a lot of promising intelligence, coming up with many different kinds of blueprints for all sorts of crazy inventions that Robert would eventually create late on down the line. Naturally, most of his earliest inventions kinda blew up in his face, but as he grew older, he started to get better at making things. By the time of his teenage years, he's become a master at it.

Tragedy struck at the age of fifteen when Robert got news that his father died in a shuttle incident. The shuttle exploded mid-flight as it was about to exit the atmosphere, killing just about everyone inside the shuttle. His father was reportedly still alive as he fell from the shuttle's destruction, but he died upon impact with the ground. As a result, Robert gained a fear of rockets, for fear that the same thing will happen to him and anyone who gets on a rocket with him.

Loud and boisterous as he may be, Robert has a big heart and considers anyone close to him his comrades and isn't exactly proud of his country's history (he considers Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev his mortal enemies even though they're probably long dead by now), and his joining of Total Drama has the motive of showing everyone that Russians are not the stereotypical evil country invaders they are commonly portrayed as in American works of fiction and that times have changed since the bloody rebellion wars of the twentieth century (which he wish never happened in the first place) and the Soviet Union era (something that's still a point of contention for him). If he goes on to win the Grand Fortune, he's hoping to make a rocket with his winnings that will get him into space and possibly even beyond the Solar System to explore new, uncharted worlds and perhaps share his findings with the world.
