Raushan (Orlov) Kaptsov

[Liesl Von Stauffenberg]

Character Name: Raushan (Orlov) Kaptsov

Nationality: Belarusian

History: Raushan was born in the country of Belarus. Both of her parents are from Belarus. Her father is a master in the art of free running or what the French call it “Parkour” (developed by the French in the 1920’s). Her father use to travel and had learned the art of Parkour on one of his travels to France. At an early age she’s been fascinated with the art and caught on easily…though her mother (Ekararina) thought the sport was too rough for a girl and enrolled her into some ballet to make her more “lady-like” and less rough around her siblings. Her father was a well known Bounty hunter for Stalin...he later died due to some illness, leaving Raushan, her mother and two siblings alone. Being the eldest of 3 children, she was practically the mastermind behind all the mischief that has taken place in her small town and house hold. This type of mischievous personality carried on to adult life. Although she can be mischievous, she is quite a flirt, outspoken, stubborn and a good dam actor. She has a rather sarcastic twang to her voice, only because she likes messing with people (You can never tell if she is telling the truth or not xD).
She is a very talkative woman using her natural looks and at times just mere eye contact to get what she wants (At times she usually does XD).
She went to a boarding school which specialized in teaching the students to be fluent in several languages, not just Russian. She is both fluent in German, French and English, thinking those languages will prove to be handy later on in life.
Once she graduated, like her father before her, she is in fact a trained bounty hunter, she is quite handy with a gun…a sharpshooter and can handle her own in a fight…she uses this series of mental deduction to try and read her opponent or enemy, which she uses on a daily basis. When she "takes care" of her target she tends to leave her trade mark; a rose at the crime scene.
When the war broke out she was only 18 years old. At first Raushan was a bit reluctant to take any part in the war…she thought it was a waste of time with unnecessary killing. However, the USSR was in need of people who can infiltrate Nazi Germany without being seen as harm. Now, 21…a few government investors insisted that Raushan to work for them and infiltrate deep into Nazi Germany and target a few SS Generals. Raushan wanted to turn them down at first but thought it was a once in a life time experience.
Raushan almost always goes by her codename “Orlov”. She is about 5’5 with a slender supple waistline and a peachy pale complexion. She has light pink cheeks that bring out her stormy blue eyes and cascading auburn-dark chocolate-brown shoulder length hair that frames her slender face. She also has a beauty mark on her left cheek just below her left eye and full light pink lips.



Writing Sample: Writing Sample:
Scenario: Its night time, and while walking home, you witness as brutal guerilla attack on the occupation forces main HQ in your town. As the occupation troops burst out to try and hunt down the attackers, you are caught up in the mess, and must flee. What does your character think, and how do they react?

The night air was thick as Orlov made her way through a small town deep inside Nazi Germany. It was a small little town, but it had a large accumulation of SS soldiers. Orlov felt this town would grow to be useful…not to mention the soldiers…just talking them up would make them spill any juicy details about where they stayed and what Hitler had in store next. If I knew this job was going to be easy I should have signed up when the war started… she smiled playfully to herself.

Orlov dusted her knee length pencil skirt as she made her way from the local pub. She was a bit irritated that her specified target wasn’t there that night…though flirting with a few SS certainly made up for the loss. She adjusted her fedora on her pincurled locks, before taking out her compact mirror. Effortlessly, she fixed her deep red lipstick on her full lips before proceeding out of the pub.

She slipped her mirror into her beige pea coat and began to walk…her dark brown pumps patted quietly against the pavement of the side walk as she made her way back to her HQ. Her HQ was located in a flat above a local bakery…she wanted to write back to her superiors right away…or else she wouldn’t be paid. It was a rather quiet night for the most part; the usual SS soldiers and their dates walked among the cobble stoned streets of this small town chatting and conversing as if there wasn’t a war going on. Orlov couldn’t help but become slightly sickened by them. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and continued down the sidewalk, when suddenly a yell come out of nowhere, soon within seconds…followed with a whole flood of gunfire.

Her heart instantly began to race as she got caught within a panicked group of people. Shit…shit! she cursed as she tried to push her way out of the crowd. The gunfire grew louder…it seemed close...too close for comfort! She looked up seeing a handful of German SS soldiers run around like chickens with their heads cut off desperately looking for the attackers. Of all the times the resistance had to do a raid! thought Orlov irritably. Whatever…she had no time to complain about the resistance fighters picking the worst of days…she had to get out of the crowd. She shoved and pushed her way out of the confused and panicked crowd, stumbling into an alley.

Orlov took a breath leaning against the bricked wall of the alley. She looked over, seeing she was still not quite out of danger. The SS and the resistance fighters were still at it…and her head quarters was still 4 blocks away. She cursed lightly…she was sure as hell that she didn’t want to go back into the crowd just to get trampled on if she fell…nor did she want to be caught in the crossfire. But, somehow she had to get back to her HQ without the SS thinking she was part of the resistance. She cautiously stepped out of the alley when the gun fire died down. Her stormy blue eyes scanned the street for any signs of the SS officers or resistance fighters.

“ Halt! Wer bist du!” yelled a German SS. Orlov was cut off in mid thought and just broke out into a run. Not a very good plan on her part…the SS officer was right on her tail…she couldn’t run fast in her heels. But, she couldn’t afford to have the SS capture her…she knew what the Germans did to spys…she didn’t want that fate for herself. Once she knew she was at least far enough from the SS soldier she kicked off her heels tossing them off to the side and ran towards the park.

Her heart pounded rapidly when she could hear the SS soldier getting closer. Se quickly spotted a bridge and ran towards it…using the parkour she learned from her father, she grabbed hold of the railing and coaxed herself off the side of a small bridge. It wasn’t a very high drop…but it was enough to make one’s stomach jump a little. Her stocking covered feet instantly made contact to the slippery creek rocks below…she shivered lightly forgetting how cold the water was…ankle deep in water she quickly made her way under the bridge and hid there.

She could hear the SS officers above converse for a few moments before leaving. She waited a few more moments before emerging from her hiding spot in a cat-like motion. Her muscles coiled and loosened beneath her peacoat as she stretched. A sly smile crossed her red lips when she concluded that the SS won’t be coming after her…well at least for now. She grabbed hold of the bottom of the bridge, finding a foot hold and pulled herself up back on to the bridge. She fixed herself as if nothing happened and walked back to her HQ. Some night this turned out to be…I wonder if I should mention this in the report… she thought with an amused smile on her face.

Update on Raushan's history , I just tweaked it and added a bit to it (the bold and underline are the new stuff I added ):
