Your Traders backstory: Aboka Savereganty was his name. He's Cocky and a party animal who loves to gamble. Hes known for having connections with people , and getting some of the best booze in Russia. He had his own bar. He HAD. Lost it one day with a drunken game of Gambling.
             Not just the bar though. His house , clothes , all of his money. He had no where to go. No Family, No friends, nothing. He finally noticed that his "Hobbes" pushed them away. He was on the streets when the second explosion happened. Every day he would dig through the trash to get the most recent paper. He read about the artifacts in the zone. He packed up little of what he had. After a month of hard traveling and hitchhiking he had finally reached the outskirts of the zone. He entered not knowing his path ahead. He didn't have a weapon or even clothes without holes for that matter.
                     He was put through many challenges. Soon to come across body's with weapons and clothes. He had to use them or he'd die , so he did. He began salvaging with a group of stalkers. They got a good stake together then split. Aboka came across a camp where many stalkers communed to to trade and resupply. He sat at a fire place and someone asked him how he got there. He told them his story and they called him Yeoman. One of the guys said it meant someone who lived harsh but prospered with wealthiness. He liked the name so he decided to use it instead of his real name. Some guys in the camp were playing poker. He joined in and won. Every other week he'd swing back around. Every time with an Artifact or a cache of weapons and ammunition. Then he'd Gamble some more. Winning every time.
                  After a while he started to trade off his things from a shack at the camp. He'd buy and trade not knowing people thought he was an actual dealer. The Stalkers soon disbanded , they headed deeper into the zone. So that's what Yeoman did also. He later then began his own camp and he traded once again. And we have reached our stopping point for he still needs to write his own future.

Your Traders backstory:
   Eastwood, born William Pulp, came to the Zone in 2008, two years after the second Chernobyl explosion. He chose the name "Eastwood" in a way to try to feel a bit more like his favorite actor, who was known for his gun slinging. He was thirty years-old at the time, and had could be described as a "silver-tongued devil".  He had, and still has, a knack for words. When he was attempting to be as legendary in terms of gun slinging as the actor, he realized (after taking two bullets to either leg) he wasn't cut out for that sort of action. Instead, he talked to a man he had worked with before, Hawk. Hawk was the leader of a group of men, and offered to take him under his wing. There, he learned to use his speech to haggle and trade, and learned how to work on both armor and weaponry. When the man who taught him how to work on gear was killed in a raid, he took over in repairing gear Hawk's crew brought in.
   After a few years under Hawk's tutelage, he bid farewell to the trader, and set out to start his own trading post. He was highly unsuccessful, as he was plagued by groups of dogs, cats, and other dangers. He wound up setting camp up next to the DUTY base, attempting to use their presence as a sort of protection from any ill-willed STALKERs and mutants. After a few months, he built up the courage to move farther away from the base, and set up another camp, where he is having much more luck than previously.

Your Traders backstory:
Nikolai first came to the Zone accidently. For a long time he wanted to travel the world and explore, and for only 1 year ago, a man named Niko Cheskinski promised him that he would take Nikolai with him and see the world!
Ofcourse Nikolai said yes and packed his bags and left all that he called home. All seemed so perfect, untill the day Nikolai first started to relize that he wasn't on his way to see the world, only the brutal landscape of the Zone. Mr Cheskinski had planned to sell Nikolai as a slave to a bandit group in the Zone, and it didn't took long untill he was doing hard labour all day long with almost nothing to eat or drink. He had nothing...

After a long time in "hell" and many tries of escaping it, Nikolai made a run for the freedom and finally vanished into the harsh enviroment in the Zone. He was finally free.
Now Nikolai started to do some work for the Duty, and after that he got some small jobs from the Military, but he wanted something else.
During all his work and missions, he had mad some money, but he had also found a lot of different guns and rifles, and not to mention, all the broken armor parts laying on the ground here and there.
He was a bit restless, so when he had some spare time, he started to fix some of the armor that he had found and also, with help from some weapon craftsmen, he started to learn how to repair guns and rifles.
It didn't take long untill he met new friends in the Zone, and after a while, he found himself selling his first product to a lonley S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

After all the horror that Nikolai had seen in the Zone, he finally had something that made him happy, something that he could make a living out of, and something that he was good at. He wanted to become a Trader!
So he decide to pack all his equipment, all the weapons,all the suits and armor and all the products that he had, and head towards the town and start his career as a Trader.

Your Traders backstory: Vikoslav was the owner of a gunshop back in his hometown, he was known by all the people in that area and was greatly loved. His family and friends were attacked by a group of bandits who called themselves "Sleek Destroyers". He escaped quickly out of the area trying to save his family, but he failed and saw his mothers head get blown clear off. Only him and a few other people made it out of the raid alive. He became very agitated and could not sleep night after night. So, without his family around any more he though it would be best to move to a new area and start a new life.
            He walked through the woods for quite some time and soon found a small town. Vikoslav met a old man there who told him many stories of his past life when he was in the zone. He wondered how to reach the zone and asked for directions, but the man could not quite remember where to go, but he pointed him towards someone that did. That one person was very mean and brutal, he made Vikoslav do many jobs in order for the information on the location of "The Zone". Vikoslav endured much pain and suffering in the jobs he had to do, it varied from killing men or stealing certain items. Some tasks he failed which caused him to get wiped many times. After a year or so he managed to earn the mans trust and he offered him a ride to "The Zone". After around five days of travelling he arrived and got out of the truck, staring in amazement. He finally reached his goal, and now it is time for him to start his life again, as a trader.

IC Name: Hugo"Guide" Vamio
Your Traders back-story: The roar of the helicopter zooms over the forest as it begins touching down on soft ground, Huge begins telling the tourist how wonderful it is, he would of never imagined he would be zooming past air anomalies that would fry him into two later on...Hugo grew up in Russia from a wealthy Russian family, they kept there money much secret but mainly made it from outside dealings with Americans and others. Hugo disliked Russia but loved his family. It was a big family but they were losing money fairly fast, his brother was also a pilot in the Russian military. Hugo managed to leave Russia onto his new life in America...Some time later in America. Huge managed to achieve a pilots training and license from a helicopter training school, thanks to his families funds. This meant that his family got poorer and poorer but it kept there little baby Hugo a financial float in America. He signed up for a helicopter touring in a small national park, takeing decently wealthy tourist around in it. He also owned a small antique shop. He was a very experience hunter and guide in the park and love the outdoors. He figured it was time to go vist the family, so he packed his things and took the long trip back to Russia. When he got back to Russia he took a ride from a family friend from the airport to his house. His family was happy to see him, his father and mother's hold wrinkled smile gave warmth in Hugo's heart. But a grip of sadness his brother seemed to have gotten in some kind of trouble in the Ukrainian military as Hugo's father explains. Hugo bites his lip thinking; know if only I could help my brother. Just then a bloodied brother of huge burst threw the front door of the house.....He begins screaming to Hugo" Brother we must leave."Hugo's father and mother try to stop Hugo but Hugo must help his brother. They begin chasing down the street in his small junky car. They begin nearing the military base, they go inside, all is quiet and no activity. The military base was very near. They rush inside as blood spatters the wall as military soldiers lie in blood and lay lifelessly. Hugo's brother begins saying" Just keep going brother we must leave this place. The others will show up and we will both be dead. Police begin coming in at this moment, Hugo's brother pulls a pistol out of his pocket as he fires at them. Two police that came were shot dead before they could even fire back. Hugo was startled and scared but followed his brother. Hugo's brother dragged him along outside as police cars and military begin nearing and distance helicopters are heard. Blood drips on the ground as Hugo's brother feels a small wound on his side." It is only a flesh wound brother to the helicopter, we have to go now." Hugo's brother and him jump into a small military chopper and begin taking off. Hugo ask his brother" Where are we going brother please tell me." His brother responds" The zone it is the only escape, we will be freemen there and we will escape all this shit."

Later on they begin closing in on the zone as the helicopter begins nearing and it begins slowling, there new life will begin soon.

A extra request: I wanted a special position in trading. My guy will give out missions and give out special order items, swell as guide people. Also I was wondering if I could have a helicopter it is going to be kind of a shitty one though, since in call of Pripyat there was pilots and I grantee there might have been in clear sky and shoc,it kind of mixes in with his back-story.He is not a main trader but will help stalkers earn money and he will make money aswell to help other traders earn money aswell.

Your Traders backstory: The sound of a blood suckers pain educing scream echos in the cave. The bold bandit runs out into the cold misty night holding many artifacts with a uneasy face. The man stops for a breathe of air. As the man stops the Blood sucker storms out of the cave "He looks pissed" said the man, as he ran off into the cordon. As the man in the jacket reaches the counter  a voice is heard "So, bandit you got my artifacts or am i going to have to kill you?" The man in the jacket mumbles some thing as he drops a sack of artifacts on the counter. The trader raises his brow. "Well your not as useless as i thought you were" The man glares at the fat man named Sidorovich. "I need you to pick up some supplies, if you do this for me ill reward you greatly" The man finely speaks "Sidorovich, you know i cant i must be going". "Hmm, what if i told you i could supply you with enough weapons and shit to redeem your little faction?" The man in the jacket turns around "W-what!" "Oh yess bandit i could do this for you, you could reopen your little bandit camp and i could get some one that can hold a gun straight get my shit here in one piece." The man in the jacket gulps. "Alright ill do it" "Alright Wind, dont fail me or ill have your nuts hanging from a tree" Sidorovich laughs. Winds walks out of the room. Two trucks come into the small village, stalkers stare for they have never seen so many working trucks. Wind hops into the truck filled with stalkers, they glare at the bandit. The trucks takes off into the night, Wind closes his eyes and takes a long nap. The next morning only two of the stalkers he seen the night before were in the truck. "Were is the other stalkers" asked wind. The stalkers stayed silent. Wind gets up and notices he is in the garbage, the truck stops at a large pile of dead stalkers. The driver yells out " I will not go any farther go get the supplies and well be done with this crap mission" All the stalkers get out, as they climb the hill they notice a small camp below. Wind looks through the scope of his VSS he see's two crates of supplies and what looks to be a tank of some sort. Wind and the stalkers creep down the hill. The Bandits seem to be other drunk or sleeping. All the stalkers moved in the first bandit walked by. Wind Grabbed him, pulled him down and slit his throat. As wind crept into each hut he plants small C2 bombs. The stalkers crept out of the camp unnoticed and untouched. Wind sets off the C2 as soon as he sets off the bombs screams of agony are heard. As the stalkers rushed down the hills into the village a large scale battle ensued, The bandits where nearly slaughtered. Suddenly the top of the tank like vehicle moves Well at least the turret is it starts to spray bullets into the stalkers, not one stalker survived. Wind slid down the hill, he took out a Molotov out of his satchel and crept up behind the tank. Wind pulled the hatch of the tank open and threw the Molotov in. The village became silent, only the roar of fire could be heard. Sidoroviches supplies were safe. Wind started to pulls the crates up the hill slowly. Before he got all the crates up the hill the sun had come out. The driver looked at wind and said "wheres the stalkers?" "There dead" wind said casually. The drivers helped Wind load the trucks as the cool night becomes silent. "Ahh, bandit you have my crates and now you can have as much shit as you want" Wind nods "One more thing when you need some supplies just contact my associates on this PDA number" Sidorovich hands wind a greasy sheet of paper. Wind nods and walks out of the cordon to rebuild his once powerful faction.

Your Traders backstory: Jack Shepherd, another stalker to the zone, but also talented in the ways of a technician, repairing and modifying various items from the zone,  be it guns, suits, gasmasks or even put some fluffy dice on your knife.
He constantly sends out stalker groups to scavange for guns (RP wise), when they return, he repairs and modifies them, then sells them for a profit before splitting it between him and wine, earning a nice amount of roubles between them both.
He doesnt just repair the scavanged guns his stalkers deliver, he also repairs the weapons of stalkers who request it, as well as modify them to their requests.
(This is basically what he does, i just need the flag to get the weapons for selling when wine isnt around, besides, i think it will add a nice element to trading RP, selling modded guns and such)

It was a jellyfish, but he sold it. He was making a good amount of rubles selling weapons. Then bandits started to hear all about this, so they robbed some of his cash. So, he didn't really care, but he will be hoping to get revenge. Anyway, after awhile he scavenged some more,kept a Makarov PM, and sold weapons.

Your Traders backstory: Dmitri Chornovyl was a simple man. He ran a small quaint shop in
Ukraine, just outside the Zone. Business wasn't very good but he made enough to put food on his plate. He was also a very good mechanic. His brother was in the Ukranian military and had been stationed in the zone, Dmitri was fasinated by the stuff his brother told him in letters sent home.

One night Dmitri went over to his shop to make sure he had locked up properly, but there was something wrong..... Dmitri looked through the window, there was over-turned shelves and the whole shop was a mess, he grabbed his pocket-torch and went inside....

Dmitri looked around, a shiver ran through his spine as there was a faint growling noise. He went upstairs and opened the rifle cabinet he kept there. His hands trembled as he loaded the shot-gun and he quietly cocked it, creeping downstairs.

He staired into the black abyss, his eyes fixiated on the glowing circles of light in the dark
corner. The "Beast" crept towards him and snarled. Dmitri brought the shotgun up, still shaking, and slowly started to pull the trigger, the beast was immediatley filled with bulletholes, but it wasn't Dmitri who had killed it....

The well-equiped soldier looked at Dmitri, then spoke.
"Oi arsehole! Ukranian military, we're gonna have to talk to you..."

Dmitri had realised what the beast was, it was one of the Mutants his brother had told him about, but it must have escaped the zone.... Dmitri realised that the Military probably wanted to Contain the threat and anyone who had seen it... He ran. Upstairs, out the window, down the gutter and over the grass bank. He was now a wanted man, he had nowhere to go. Except.....

Two days later Dmitri bribed his way through a checkpoint and wondered off into the Zone.

One year later, Dmitri is now a Trader and mechanic, with a sucessful business and money in his pocket.

Proof of Support From a trader: Ravanger and Paint are both Traders, I kept it in mind, but I hope it counts.

Why do you want to be a Trader?: Being a trader, offers alot of passive role-playing, it adds life to the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, it also adds to realism and ideas for missions to send new stalkers on, for their first weapon or Experienced Stalkers for a new piece of role-playing they can add to their story, in a way Traders help maintain balance when used right, I want to ensure the balance isn't broken.

Are you in a faction? If so, will you be a faction trader for that faction?: I'll stick alone, factions tend to be more trouble then their worth.

Your Traders backstory: Felix Seska, was born to Rich parents in Romania, Gone to the best schools money can buy, knowing weapons of war and business details, with diplomatic solutions, Felix may have became a politician.

Instead, after college his parents wished for him to earn his own fortune, refusing to help him in any way with finances, Felix was forced to find his own way in obtaining money. Opening a small time gunstore, in a location full of crime, was a great way to obtain money, eventually obtaining a assistant to run the store while he was away was also a risky idea.

Eventually obtaining enough money Felix went towards America to buy and sell stocks, the trip was a disaster, as the company's went bankrupt from unknown causes. Felix returned to Romania, Destitute, but with contacts to obtain weaponry, and other goods.

As useless as it seemed, it was far from it, Felix soon heard of the Zone as artifacts, and other finds were common and in most cases, a easy way to obtain money, learning from his mistakes, he invested wisely and carefully into the company's that provided the supplies, and entered the zone, "Of course illegally, with help of a few friends" hiding his supplies in certain areas of the vehicle he entered, and began his trade.

As slow as it was, he found of a faction named the Trader's Union, these were people like him, with the same goal, earn money, offer information, and virtually run the zone in all ways. Felix signed up, and began his trade once more, finding his business to increase tenfold and his ability to convince people of his wares to improve over time, in less then two years, Felix was Co-leader of the Union.

Business seemed to never end as he opened the arena and made a name for himself. Eventually, everything seemed to fall apart, too quickly, and too suddenly, eventually, the Leader left, and Felix was unable to step up, being too far away from the zone by the time it happened. When Felix returned, he found money slipping away and saw everything he had created, vanish.

Once again, like the stock-market he had invested to highly in something and, once again, had its own version of going bankrupt. Felix wandered the zone, attempting to be a Stalker a few times, he had no success, eventually he neared thinking of leaving for good, until he remembered, "The contacts within the now destroyed Traders Union may still be willing to do business" picking up what little money he had, he contacted them, and with luck, they may decide to continue with their Business.

Why do you want to be a Trader?: Because there is a severe lack of traders giving missions. And after replacing Cole for ten minutes while he crashed, I found it to be a fun sort of roleplay.

Are you in a faction? If so, will you be a faction trader for that faction?: I am in monolith, maybe I will be a trader, maybe not. WHO KNOWS? But really, I have no plans for it at the moment.

Why do you want to be a Trader?: Because I am willing to accept the responsibility as a Trader to fulfill my duty as a supplier and source of work to the people of the Zone whenever possible, I would also keep in mind to not undercut or overprice merchandise to the point of setting the stability of the economy on a rollercoaster ride to hell.  

Are you in a faction? If so, will you be a faction trader for that faction?: Currently only one of my characters is within a faction, but this character I'm applying with will not be in a faction.

Your Traders backstory:
Born in the Ukraine in 1979, Viacheslav was only a child of the age of seven when the first Chernobyl Incident occured, he was too young to understand what was going on, or why his parents decided to move from their small home in the country to bustling city of Kiev. When everything was all said and done, they rented out a fairly large house from a retired businessman who bought, sold, and rented out property around the city of Kiev. After the Incident, like went on as normal, with his father working in as a welder for a company on a government contract to produce the BMP, his mother working as an elementary class teacher in a school half a mile from their home.

Things returned to normal over the years, Viacheslav growing in mind, stature, and maturity as he took an interest into Business when he turned seventeen, working shortly for his friend's father who ran a pawn shop in Kiev's downtown district. While working the late hours of the night, he learned from the old man how to barter, haggle, and make deals with customers, although it wasn't a Master's Degree in Business it helped him either way to move onto college to pursue that degree and invest in a small business of his own.

It only took half a decade to fulfill his goal, starting out small by buying out the old man's pawn shop from him to run himself. Business went on as usual, although the face of the man behind the counter changed, they were still happy to wander into the old shop to buy or pawn their possesions from the young man. Couple years went by, things were good until something came across his shop that you could only take out of a science fiction movie, it was an oddly shaped object with a transparent yellowish color, he dismissed it at first thinking it was garbage, until the man cut himself across the forearm and when he pressed the object against his skin it suddenly clotted up and scabbed within seconds where it would take hours. Astonished, he quickly handed the man a large sum of money taking the precious object into the back of the store to study.

A couple rumors was all it took, Viacheslav cleared his bank account, packed up some personal items, and a folder of contacts and a manifest of what he needed once he reached his destination, The Zone. it sounded ballsy and stupid at first to go crossing the border into the Zone, but the benefits soon outweighed the uncertainty that flooded his mind as he booked passage out to a small town near the Zone border to begin his journey. He managed within a couple weeks to identify the next driver heading into the zone with a supply truck bound for the Ukrainian Military outpost, and quickly paid him off to guarantee his safe passage, and when the time came to enter the Zone, all he could do was grin as the untold fortune and status that could be earned from such a place or how quickly one could fall in such conditions flickered in front of his eyes.

Why do you want to be a Trader?: The type of roleplay that is experienced when you are a trader is very appealing to me. I love setting up camp in the wilderness of the zone, meeting the various passer bys, making deals, selling and creating some terrific passive Rp. It's what I always to prefer to do on the server, so I feel being a trader is perfect for me. I also enjoy setting up missions for the various loners.

Are you in a faction? If so, will you be a faction trader for that faction?: My alt character is in Duty, but he's not applying for this.

Your Traders backstory: Andrei Rublev, otherwise know as 'The Pilgrim' started life in the chains of consumerism and the grasp of Philistinism, weighed down by the ignorance and consumption of his legal guardians. He was born in Poland to Polish parents, however the concept of parenthood frightened Rublev's mother into giving him up for adoption. He lived a complicated life in a care home, observing the rejection and acceptance from strangers willing to take him in.

At the age of 12 he was adopted by a Manger of a branded super-market and his house-wife. Rublev despised them for their lack of mind.
However he grew up peacefully, continuing to philosophize. He read and painted regularly, developing himself into a intelligent young man. He later started to write, for newspapers and his own desires. Yet he felt empty, that his life lacked something, something he desperately needed.

He came to the conclusion that he lacked inspiration for his writing. Rublev tended to write and paint about terror, greed and other evils of the world, but he never personally met it. So with Rublev's thirst for enlightenment in art he searched for an area that could provide such things.

With rumours and campfire stories passing his ears he heard the tales of 'The Zone'. He immediately understood that this was his haven, his sanctuary of his mad search for knowledge. Rublev left in a hurry, taking a camera with him to capture key moments. He made a acquaintance with a contact that could get him in to the Zone, Rublev paid the associate his due and entered into the belly of the beast.

Months passed by, you would not of recognised Rublev if you had not seen him yet from his departure. Over the days he experienced horrific moments, traumatised yet he believed he was 'enlightened'. He also collected many wares and equipment in his travels. Guns, food, ammo, clothing and various other junk. He has read into financial guides and marketing books, researching into the best ways to sell his wares. And he enjoys doing so, as he has made many friends and allies. He wishes to continue his trading to a higher level. He feels he can get closer to his goal of enlightenment b taking such a path.

Are you in a faction? If so, will you be a faction trader for that faction?:
Yea I lead Monolith, but no Its not the same character.
Your Traders backstory: Grub is a skinny, contemptous, foul mouthed kid. 19 years old and likes to think he is important. His only stable supply line are the bandits and cutthroats around him, so his wares aren't exactly good. Or reliable. Or varied. In fact, he hardly has anything to sell other than shitty vodka, dirty ammunition, and ratty coats. But he's making it, somehow. He used to own a helicopter, but it was burnt at the landing pad by Duty when they demolished his bar several years ago. Did I mention this fucker is an old character? Three years old OOCly I believe. I'm rambling at this point. To usm up, Grub is a prety cool guy, he has no supplies and doesn't afraid of economy.

Your Traders backstory:

My name is Vasyli Yuvchenko, and this is my story...



I was born in 1970, in Vyshhorod, central Ukraine. Two years later me and my parents moved to Kiev, I still don't know why...
They always found me a difficult child, my grades in school were terrible and I was naughty all the time.
We were relatively poor, so me being me, joined a small gang, committing small crimes.
One day, I was walking right behind them down the street, and then a strange man in a dark alley gestured me to come closer. I shrugged and walked up to him without the guys noticing that I was gone. The man was wearing a long trenchcoat, which he then opened. There were alot of goodies in the pockets that looked relatively expensive..Well, at least not cheap. I frowned and said: "Are you selling that?", "Yes, obviously.." he replied.."Illegally?", I asked again. "Yes..", he said. I was still curious and asked once more: "Does this thing you're doing make alot of money?", the man grinned. "Greedy little boy, aren't you? Well, let's just say..You wouldn't believe your own eyes, son." And for me, that was reason enough to become a merchant in illegal wares. I started my own business, stealing and selling all kinds of stuff. Cigarettes, wodka, watches, you name it, I had it. When the second explosion occurred at the CNPP area, I was pretty popular in the neighbourhood. I had my...Connections, I heard about what has happened over there, all the freaky stuff that appeared and that there's a secret way to enter that place. I decided what the hell and went off to the Zone.

Why do you want to be a Trader?: Id like to be a Trader for IC and OOC reasons. ICly when I joined the Military faction, I had listed that my soldier had worked as a Quarter Master prior to and after joining the Ukraine Armed Forces. We have a lack of an active tarding for the Military and forces us to be un-canon and OOCly go seek a Stalker Trader just to get a bit of ammo for our weapons. This is wrong and shouldn't be happening.

Your Traders backstory:Ivan Rizov was born on 1976,in Moscow. He came from a family who did anything to earn money. Trade, steal, do jobs, work around houses. His family was always like that. His father , Stefan , he was more of a thief. While his mom Anna was a maid, she pretty much cleaned around houses. Little Ivan became interested into trading. He looked up his uncle who was a trader, basically the man owned a shop. After Ivan finished primary school, he attended the school for traders, high school that is.  His uncle noticed it and gave him a job at his shop. At the time Ivan was a teen and learned quickly from his uncle.
It helped him in school. His grades were excellent and after he finished school and collage, his uncle died and left him the shop. Ivan took over the shop and did a better job than his uncle. Soon he met this girl, Sandra. They started going out. Ivan and Sandra were madly in love. Ivan managed to open an other shop with support of his girlfriend which he married two years after. In the other shop they sold furniture which was an other great success. Soon they started to think about having children. Both of them wanted a boy and a girl. Two kids, enough for a family. They dreamed about many things until Sandra died. She was raped and killed. Ivan was broken. His shops went to ruin. He closed them. Ivan spent a lot of time alone and didn't have anyone to talk to. Since the only person he spent time with was Sandra. After her death Ivan was like an angel, always friendly with a smile on his face trying to get the best out of everything. He didn't eat much as he lost his appetite. No one visited him. He soon started to read books and took pleasure in it. They made him smile, made him sad. But he enjoyed them. He gained all sorts of knowledge by reading the books. One day he heard about the Zone and it's dangers along with the beauties of the zone. Why he really came was the Traders Union it self which interested him. He wanted to get back into the trading. He took great pleasure in trading while Sandra was alive, so he thought "Why not , again?". Before he went there, Ivan wanted to be prepared. So Ivan learned about guns and radiation as much as he could. After all of that he managed to get into the zone. Rookie he was but knew a lot for one. Soon he went over to the duty camp. A dutier told him everything there is to know about the zone. The factions , the mutants and such. Everyday he would think about how he is gonna have his own shop and bring back the memories he had. Now he waits to see if the memories will come back even if Sandra is not there she will always be in his heart.
