Орлёнок (Eaglet)

Орлёнок (Eaglet) is an interactive story set in a country similar to 1910s-1920s Russia. You're a member of the overthrown Imperial Family, shaping the future of the Empire by virtue of arms.

It aims to be equal parts role-playing, dress-up and strategy game, with an emphasis on romance.

Although there will be no explicit nsfw scenes, it does include graphic descriptions of the horrors of war as well as personal tragedies, so please refer to the content warnings at the end of this post.

(as the project is still a wip, this overview is somewhat incomplete and will be gradually updated in tandem with the progress of writing)

DEMO: coming January '24 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Empire of Nevetskiya - old, proud, and utterly dilapidated. While the Industrial Revolution has enabled other Monarchies - after a few quickly suppressed workers' uprisings - to become modern colonialist superpowers, exerting their influence all over the world, Nevetskiya is still overwhelmingly agrarian, and barely holding onto its outlying territories acquired in golden times long past.

Your Father Emperor, while ruling with an iron fist and unquestionable authority over the common people, is completely dependent on the shaky loyalty of the High Nobility, who frustrate any attempt to modernize the economy or administration, out of fear upstart merchants might, in time, replace the old Aristocracy.

When a sloppily executed coup d'etat eventually leaves your family dead and you a refugee, it becomes time you grab the reins of your destiny and amass an army to liberate and rebuild the country in the way you envision.

(this is meant to be a concise overview - a more exiting and detailed description of features can be found in the offical Interest Check Thread post)

extensive character customization

extensive army customization - both in a strategy and in a dress-up game sense

focus on story over stats - success is determined on the battlefield, not by your character's personality

five distinct regions with a wide cast of characters

complex personality system - for example, how your character actually feels and what they show to the world are separate things

several ways to rule - will you become a traditional Monarch, a Military Dictator, a democratically elected Head-of-State, or maybe proclaim yourself a Living Saint?

choose how much modernization is needed - will you allow women to bear arms, at the cost of offending the traditionalist nobles? Introduce tanks at the cost of foreign powers gaining influence?

how far will you go for victory? A political police, mass executions and the use of special types of weaponry might give you an edge, but is your vision really worth it?

a total of ten romanceable characters

(this naturally might contain slight spoilers)

The ROs

★ Yakov Tymofiyevich Sokolovskiy / Liliya Tymofiyevna Sokolovskaya ★

The Intelligence Director (gender-selectable)

One of your four original companions. As a member of the High Nobility, you've met them before - maybe you've even been childhood friends?

But even if you know them, it's hard to tell what they're truly like, as they seem to switch personalities effortlessly depending on the situation.

Their work is a mystery to seemingly everyone, but they always get results: as long as you let them act freely, no enemy agent has any chance to harm you or your cause.

Age: mid-20s

★ Semyon Ivanovich Orlov / Selena Ivanovna Orlova ★

The Cavalry Officer (gender-selectable)

One of your four original companions. A war hero and renowned expert when it comes to horses, the only reason they were not yet promoted to a lofty position in the War Ministry is their pragmatic approach to new developments, which hasn't mixed well with the typically very traditionalist views of the old Imperial officer corps.

Possessing a subdued but strong charisma and deeply respected by their soldiers as a wise parent figure, they are a solid pillar of support to you, and will reliably get things done - though some people might consider the cost for that too high sometimes.

Age: early 30s

★ Mikhail Pavlovich Voronin / Marina Pavlovna Voronina ★

The Young Visionary (gender-selectable)

One of your four original companions. They shot up through the ranks by impressing the War Ministry with bold new ideas for utilizing modern technologies and are hailed as a genius by many - though the older officers dismiss them as a dreamer at best and incompetent fool at worst.

With you, they hope to have found someone who'll appreciate their visions for the future - plus, their relative eccentrism has left them in dire need of a friend.

Their technical expertise might just prove to be the key to your success - if you can secure the foreign support needed to get the modern equipment needed to utilize it.

Age: early 20s

★ Leon Isayev / Leah Isayeva ★

The Noble Academic (gender-selectable)

One of your four original companions. Born to wealthy nobles, they graduated the Imperial Officer Academy with perfect grades, and feel honour-bound to your family.

They were the one to gather your initial force of loyalists and act as your primary advisor. But their loyalty is to the Imperial system, with you just a symbolic representative - can you convince them that you and your vision deserve their loyalty beyond that?

Age: late 20s

★ 'Little' Semyon/Selena Shvets ★

The Hero (gender-selectable)

A young cavalry officer and leader of your Southern Forces. A protegé of the "other" Semyon/Selena, they lack their cynical pragmatism, but make up for it with a firm belief in the triumph of a better world.

Some may call their optimism naive, and their personality has been mockingly compared to a Golden Retriever, but they have proven time and time again that underestimating them on the battlefield results in a crushing defeat.

Age: early 20s

★ Nikola ★

The Rebel (nb)

Leading an anti-authoritarian peasant uprising in the West, Nikola is more likely to be your enemy than your ally - but they don't seem to care enough about politics to refrain from flirting with you, so... there might be a basis of mutual understanding there?

Their personality is pretty sweet, at least - if you ignore the fact they'll cheerfully gun down prisoners if they feel like it.

Age: mid-20s

★ Rakhmil/Rakhilya Feldman ★

The Logistician (gender-selectable)

A member of the Western Rebel Army and best friend of Nikola's adoptive sibling, they've poured their soul (and countless nights without any sleep) into somehow maintaining the rebels' supply network in the face of their rapidly swelling numbers.

Unhappy with Nikola's carefree attitude, they might end up aligning with you instead in order to save their cause.

Age: late 20s

★ Arseniy Matveyevich Lebedev / Rozaliya Matveyevna Lebedeva ★

The Enemy (gender-selectable)

Grand Duke Lebedev, the main leader of the Aristocrat faction, stood by and watched when your family was executed. Arseniy/Rozaliya is their younger sibling, and serves as military commander of his personal forces that aid several warlords in their efforts to establish their own petty kingdoms.

But they're already uncomfortable with their brother's methods, and if you can convince them that you're not actually "an incompetent little puppet who's trying to ruin the country out of arrogant delusions", they might become a very valuable ally.

Age: mid-20s

★ Lyudmila Demyanovna Naumova ★ (f)

A minor noble who reluctantly turned into a Warlord in order to protect her territory and her people. All she wants is peace - but she'll not hesitate to fight if she believes it necessary.

Unfortunately, you can't just ignore her - all must choose a side in this war - but you have options how to deal with her. Will you subdue her by force? Or fall back on the age-old option of political marriage to secure an alliance?

Age: late 20s

★ Jan/Jana Novotný ★ (gender-selectable, under certain circumstances)

A member of your Personal Guard who has distinguished themself and eventually rises to become its commander. Others might betray or doubt you, but Novotný only cares about one thing - your continued, unharmed existence.

And they will go to any lengths to guarantee it.

Age: mid-20s

Other Notable Characters

★ Nikolay III., Emperor and Autocrat of All Nevetskiya, King of Puławy-Tábor and Grand Duke of Kallaste ★

"Children are easily replacable assets."

Your Father Emperor, though he only ever acted on the latter part.

★ Aleksandra Nikolayevna ★

Your Mother Empress. You barely knew her.

★ Artemiy Nikolayevich ★

The Crown Prince of Nevetskiya and your oldest brother. He was always busy with his studies and tasks, but he was really nice to you whenever you met.

★ Lavrentiy Nikolayevich ★

The Second Prince, your other older brother. A bully through and through who seemed to hate you... though he did come to your help when you really needed it.

★ Aleksandr 'Sasha' Nikolayevich / Natalia 'Tasha' Nikolayevna ★

Your younger sibling and best friend. Prone to daydreaming and too kind for their own good, it's a blessing they were born this far down the line of succession.

★ Grand Duke Viktor Matveyevich Lebedev ★

The most influential noble in Nevetskiya and inofficial leader of the nobility. He was supposed to be a personal friend of your Father Emperor - and, indeed, never seemed to act against him, even if it would've been in his interest - but when your father was led to the gallows, the Grand Duke stood by and watched, a faint smile on his face.

Now, he is directly supporting your rivals - but still, he is a very powerful man who claims to have only the country's best interests at heart, so is he really an enemy to be defeated? Or rather just a temporary opponent, whose support you should work to gain?

Age: early 40s

★ Sergei Razko ('Orlik') ★

The aged leader of your forces in the East. Affectionally called "Eagle" by his volunteer troop, he's like a Father to you - a role your actual father either never attempted to fulfill, or failed spectacularly at.

Age: mid-50s

★ Pawel Dąbrowski ★

The leader of your forces in the West. A line officer you've met before - his excellent performance has led to him being personally decorated by your Father Emperor.

And your younger sibling had a crush on him back then...

Age: late 20s

★ Katariina 'Riina' Velkonnen ★

The leader of your forces in the North. A woman who seems to be made of steel; her troops are the epitome of discipline, and they kill with a cold fury that's only held in check by their low numbers, courtesy of the North's sparse population.

Age: early 30s

★ Ilya Chervanov / Elena Chervanova ★

Nikola's adoptive sibling and Rakhmil/Rakhilya's best friend. After being forced to watch from their hiding spot as your Father Emperor's secret police tortured and killed their parents for suspected dissidence, they now fight desperately for a world without feudal oppression - though the methods they apparently have to employ to achieve that break their heart over and over again.

Age: early 20s

★ Grigoriy Antonovich Stepanov ★

A staff officer of your army who always agrees with what you say - and actually manages to defend these opinions quite eloquently.

Surely, that's a valuable talent - but can you really trust someone who never seems to have a stance of his own?

Age: early 30s

★ Fyodor Gerasimovich Melnik ★

One of your direct rivals, a minor noble and Warlord who proves extremely hard to get rid of. His continued ability to raise new forces after each defeat is nothing short of a miracle considering his general reputation of being incompetent, choleric, arrogant, corrupt, and just generally a waste of a human being.

Then again, he is quite rich, so maybe it's not that much of a miracle at all - mercenaries have flooded into the country as soon as the Civil War began, and form a large manpower reserve for figures like him - though of questionable quality.

Ice Age, episode 1

My newly acquired knowledge of cyrilic alphabet opened me a whole new world on Youtube, I can search names in Russian! That’s how I discovered this show (yes, that’s the show Alina and Yagudin are hosting). And I love it. Honestly, it makes me so happy that I can’t even describe how much. I suspects it’s for several reasons though.

1) I’m not a competitive person. I don’t like too much drama. And when you are watching skating, there’s always something at stake. Here you just watch nice skating. Of course, there’s jury, there’s people’s voting. Some couples being eliminated. But in the end you can just enjoy the programs. You are not being reminded that this is the wrong edge or not a level 4 position in the spin :p You can just be amazed by the choreography from the beginning to the end. And that’s what I’m doing.

2) As strange as it sounds... I enjoy that the people in places on social media I’m visiting (when I wanna talk skating) usually don’t watch this show. I don’t have to worry what terrible take or insult I’ll see on Twitter. What will be deemed “problematique” by the Twitter moral teen squad. The comments on Youtube are almost entirely in Russian. And because I’m reading cyrilic alphabet as slowly as a first grader I simply don’t read the comments.

3) Maxim Shabalin. He a prince. He fluffy. I love him.

So, the show is amazing. I’ve already said that. It’s like Battle of the Blades. But instead of speed skaters and hockey players the “new figure skaters” are celebrities like actors, singers, football players. So it’s Dancing with the stars but on the ice.

There are fourteen couples. Which means fourteen amazing performances. Yay!!

Let’s quickly introduce the couples: 1. actress Nadezhda Mikhalkova / Maxim Marinin 2. journalist Olga Pautova / Maxim Shabalin 3. singer Vlad Topalov / Elena Ilinykh 4. host Vladimir Marconi / Margarita Drobiazko 5. actor Viacheslav Chepurchenko / Tatiana Totmianina 6. hostess, singer Regina Todarenko / Roman Kostomarov 7. actor Wolfgang Cherny / Oksana Domnina 8. actress Irina Pegova / Alexei Tichonov 9. actor Evgeni Pronin / Tatiana Volosozhar 10. actress Maria Lugovaya / Povilas Vanagas 11. football player Dimitri Sychev / Maria Petrova 12. hostess Olga Buzova / Dmitri Soloviev 13. singer Vlad Sokolovskii / Ekaterina Bobrova 14. actress Olga Kuzmina / Alexandr Enbert

It’s so great to see again the skaters who recently retired, like Dmitri and Ekaterina but especially Alexandr Enbert. (Also, Povilas Vanagas is hot).

And now to my favourite performances: Vladimir Marconi / Margarita Drobiazko - so much fun.

https://youtu.be/rpDQfqWOKGk

Viacheslav Chepurchenko / Tatiana Totmianina skating to Alla Pugaceva. That was awesome.

https://youtu.be/1_aEbkOhHGI Dimitri Sychev / Maria Petrova. The technical elements were imo so difficult.

https://youtu.be/xOPm6mBh580

Of course, I can’t forget Olga Pautova / Maxim Shabalin. Just beautiful.

https://youtu.be/t-yCL7fN638

And the best: Olga Kuzmina / Alexandr Enbert. Just so funny, jazzy, easy with amazing lifts.

I need help deciding which scenes to work on in which order, so...

I'm really curious. The mysterious one (with childhood friend + friends-to-enemies-to-lovers options)? The dependable one (with mommy/daddy vibes)? The eccentric one (mad scientists make for great pets)? Or the one who sees you as a mere puppet of theirs at this point?

Влад Соколовский — краткая биография

New Post has been published on https://novorossiia.info/vlad-sokolovskii-kratkaia-biografiia/

Влад Соколовский — краткая биография

СтатьиВлад Соколовский — краткая биография Алексей Николашин28.12.20200

Соколовский Влад — известный певец и шоумен, который покорил многочисленную публику не только свои ярким голосом, но и своими шоу, которые надолго остаются в сердцах зрителей. Певец начинал карьеру в группе «БиС», но сейчас продолжает её сольно, также известный артист активно развивает свой Ютуб-акаунт, а также профиль в Инстаграме.

Юность восходящей звезды

Всеволод родился в сентябре 1991 года в столице России в семье, что занималась искусством и имела серьезные позиции в шоу-бизнесе: отец – именитый хореограф, а мама заслуженная артистка России, родился Влад под знаком зодиака Весы. Родители с самых ранних пор позаботились о будущем сына, его дебют состоялся, когда ему не было даже трёх лет, он впервые появился в кинокартине «Афера, музыка, любовь». С самого детства благодаря родителям он подружился, как с хореографией, так и вокалом. В самом детстве впервые Влад Соколовский при очень забавных обстоятельствах дебютировал на сцене вместе с Филиппом Киркоровым, и это настолько понравилось восхищенным зрителям, что уже через два года Соколовский вновь вышел на сцену вместе с Киркоровым, на этот раз они спели его композицию «Зайка моя». С самого детства маленький Влад занимался в школе классического танца, а затем начал работать совместно с шоу-балетом «Тодес», это отыграло важную роль в его жизненном и творческом пути, потому даже уйдя в сольную карьеру он сохранил довольно тёплые отношения с руководителем балета. Стоит отметить, что за столь плотным графиком в шоу-бизнесе Влад получил диплом МГИМО МИД России.

Личная жизнь

Столь популярный артист всегда довольно таки ярко обговаривается, неудивительно, что за ним активно следят множество поклонниц и журналисты. На данный момент Влад Соколовский был женат на Рите Дакоте, с которой он познакомился на проекте «Фабрика звезд – 7» в 2014 году, в 2017 году у звёздной пары родился ребенок, однако семейная идиллия рухнула через год.

Сольная музыкальная карьера

Довольно успешным для Влада оказался 2010 год: Влад выступил с композицией «Девчонка-девчонка» Игоря Матвиенко, которая настолько ему понравилась, что он разрешил Владу в дальнейшем её исполнять. Уже через год Соколовский работает в команде Константина Меладзе в рамках проекта «Фабрика звезд: возвращение». Далее следует сотрудничество с Яной Рудковской и Димой Биланом. На сегодняшний день музыкант выпустил четыре сольных альбома.
