My newest character for my next story. Meet Anton Ivanovych Savchenko, a Ukrainian-American husky.

Anton was born in Donetsk, Ukrainian SSR on May 19, 1985 to coal mining parents Ivan and Yulia Savchenko. He grew up in a rather poor family who's fortunes did not far much better when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Anton remained in Donetsk helping his family with odd jobs through his teenage years, especially after the unexpected pregnancy and birth of his little brother Vasily in April 2001. Anton eventually mustered the courage to come out to his parents at the age of 18, which he got a less than accepting response from his parents concerning his homosexuality. Feeling shunned and unwanted, he eventually got a plane ticket and left for the United States in 2005, drifting to Ohio where he wanted to start life anew in a more accepting place.

Working some odd jobs for a few years, he eventually started a gym with his friend, creating "Meatheads" that took off successfully in Columbus. Like his friend and business partner, Anton became "Americanized" with his tattoo sleeves and blue mohawk, preferring his punk look even as he approached the age of 30.

Anton is to become the boyfriend of one of my character who is coming out in the next story.
