egor is an original character created exclusively for roleplaying. his concept draws inspiration from rick riordan's approach to demigods and mythology, reimagined within a setting rooted in slavic mythology and folklore.

his story, abilities and interpretation of the gods belong to a fictional construction and should not be taken as a representation of historical slavic beliefs. the folklore has been adapted, reinterpreted, and occasionally bent beyond recognition for the sake of the story.

if you made it here, feel free to interact. but before you do, please, take a look at his background and my rules in the "ongoing" folder.
