character info Character Name: Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov (also occasionally called Rodya mostly by me, ooc, as a diminutive) Character Age: 23 Character Role: Husband Canon: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky Canonpoint: The end of Part IV, Chapter IV — he has met Sonya and his mother and sister have moved to Saint Petersburg, but he has not yet confessed his crime. 1 paragraph summary of character/canon: Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov is an antisocial, irritable, and incredibly proud impoverished former student living in Saint Petersburg during the early 1860s. After a month of internal debate over his character and nature, he decides to murder and rob a pawnbroker who he has previously had dealings with, both out of a need for money and so that he can prove to himself that he is an “extraordinary man”. While he is successful in the murder, the pawnbroker’s innocent sister finds him at the scene of the crime, and in a moment of panic he kills her as well. After becoming violently ill with stress and guilt, he meets a young prostitute named Sonya, whose drunkard father he’d been acquainted with. As the authorities begin to close in on him, Sonya encourages him to confess to the crime and repent for his wrongdoing as he wrestles with the meaning of guilt and his place in the world. “Family” members: Wife — Agathe Marowski Raskolnikov (frauseufzen) Links:permissions; warnings & opt-out; ooc intro Other Info: This guy does not stop thinking about murder.

event plans A Thought is Haunting Me: He probably won’t be attending the New Year’s Eve celebration in the town square unless someone drags him there, but he’s still going to be dealing with the brain bashing! He’s going to spend quite a bit of time thinking he’s lost his mind unless someone tells him they dealt with the same thing. Depending on who he’s talking to about it, he absolutely might go on a research binge to try and figure out whose memories he saw, and he’s going to spend a lot of time thinking about it. I’m not entirely sure if I’ll be writing a starter for this prompt, but I’ll definitely be tagging all of yall’s! In The Valley of the Dolls We Sleep: Ahaha oh boy. Raskolnikov is not going to be sleeping during this whole escapade, please and thanks. He isn’t a fighter, either — he’s probably going to be hiding out somewhere and just Suffering. He might be persuaded to go on a water run once the dehydration starts to kick in, though. He’s also likely to try to comfort anyone who’s feeling particularly panicked, especially those who are younger than him. Or he might just lie down and be useless…that’s also an option. Drill It In Like J. Paul Getty: Uh-huh yup this is his time to shine(??). There is a very good chance that Raskolnikov is going to end up getting propaganda’d, and if so, a near 100% chance that he’s going to be too much of a stubborn mule to listen to reason. Haloperidol here we come! Afterwards, he’s going to be stumbling, zombie-like, around the town…feel free to come up to him and ask him what the hell he’s doing. ...And I Am Watching You Shovel Snow: Raskolnikov, being from Russia, is used to moderate amounts of snow, but a foot and a half is a lot for him. (The player, on the other hand, scoffs at this snowfall. Anything under three and a half feet is a moderate amount of snow!) He’s pretty acclimated to the cold and damp, but hasn’t ever really shoveled snow before, so this is a learning experience! Power outages, though? Hah! Raskolnikov laughs in the face of power outages! He’s very used to living in the cold and dark, and in the fits of generosity he occasionally experiences, will actually be helping anyone who needs advice or assistance!
