Supposedly some rural area but ended up with his uncles in a large city after his father died. He's had an otherwise normal life despite the wars, since he is a big coward. He was going to apply to a college outside kadystan when 2/22 came and his family designated him as their offering to the great monkey. He went with it thinking Ukraine would just fold and he could just live in occupied Russian Ukraine as an apostate, unfortunately this is not the case and his life is being some bully's porter. Even with the front collapsing, muslims keep their pecking order which he's at the bottom of. This is distressing him because they have better friends and will probably get out. Also the regular orcs hate him because of his religion, since many of them had parents who died in chechnya too. He can only assume AFU SOF is going to treat him like this but rip his balls off first, since he's in a special area that has a lot of slaves that prevent AFU from just exploding him.
Overall mood is very low and most of his posts are talking about flowers now because talking about his broken finger, hurt people, and the lack of administrative support would make him quiet. Probably 80% of my messages to him are just pictures of flowers I see around my neighborhood, and he's trying to plan which flowers are going to be on his grave (this is just a funny joke, he won't get a grave and even if he does it will be a mass unmarked burial). The other 10% are PS5 memes because I promised to give him my PS5 if he lives. He reminded me that all russians are scum and it'd just be stolen at customs anyway.
That and the moon. I don't know what's it with muslims and the moon but he's noticing it more and talking about it more. Thinks he'll be dead by the next full moon. Assumes the offensive will start at tonight's full moon, which I doubt. I was kinda an asshole though because I reminded him that Biden is sending Americans to the moon again and he won't witness it, but (and this is me trying to be nice) at least his soul will be on the moon to greet them. He *really* cried after this and that was our last phone call. This is a muslim thing right? I never actually talked with him about religion since he always wanted to get away from it. Conditions must be really bad for him to start behaving like this. He claimed he's trying to convert to catholicism because he's gotten to that stress point where people start being religious out of frustration, but he doesn't want to be religious in a russian or muslim way because russia is shit. Reminds me of our EU2 RP. Unfortunately he thinks I care about religion and thinks I can convert him, again I think it's a stress response. I've told him multiple times now that he needs to see a priest to do that, and his unit killed or arrested all the priests.
I vaguely remember meeting similar people when *I* was in Iraq, but lmfao my assignments were made by merit and capability not by who our parents were. America also has better trucks than Russia, and way better power tools. Half my time was telling him how to properly rebuild glad hands to pull air from a truck to use for tools, and most of his tools are sub-harbor freight tier. Here in burgerland it's been li-ions for at least a decade now.
