* tell us a little about yourself.

Nice to meet you, I am Vladimir Borislavovitch Rostislav. If Vladimir is too difficult for you to pronounce you may call me Daniel, weird right, a Hebrew name for someone who comes from Russia. I know it isn’t common, but there is a good explanation, as there is for everything. Daniel means ‘God is my Judge’. Does it still surprise you that I have chosen for a name like that? Don’t get me wrong, I am a proud Russian, I would never neglect that heritance, but sometimes people like to call me differently. I hate the nicknames they gave me, such as, Vlad something. I don’t like to be called like that. So don’t do so. It doesn’t do any right to my real name. Therefore I chose Daniel. Did I already tell you I am from Russia? If I did, did I also tell you that Moscow is the city my family is from. I know many families live there, but mine can be said to be very prominent. We are rules, and we are dominant, it is in our blood. We normally don’t play by the rules, not that we are criminals, well not by law. Can you guess my occupations? No, I don’t think so; I will be so nice to tell. I am a lawyer. I am not that experienced, as I just graduated, but my father was a lawyer and so was his. They say I have some features alike with some guy names Robert Pattinson

* what are some of your positive traits?

Are you serious? Okay because you insist, but only because you do. You seem like a very demanding person, I don’t want to throw a fit already. How will I do this. You know what, I will make a list, just then points I find positive about myself and the explanation. As I think that is what you are aiming for.

I am –how do I say this properly- I am somewhat sly. This means that I can be tricky, crafty, ingenious if you like. I am good with words, and I twist almost everything in my own advantage. Some don’t even dare to name this as positive, but they are just scared. It is indeed a very positive ability I have. It makes me a hard to read kind of person. Which comes to handy as I am a lawyer. I don’t need to be an easy read. People mostly guess wrong when it comes down to what I think or want. It almost sounds as if I am crazy, which I am not. I am perfectly sane, it’s just that I love to manipulate things my way.

I like to see things from the bright side of life. I am after all, a very positive person. I never had a split second in my life, in which I thought I would fail or would disappoint someone, sounds positively right? I mostly smile, even when there Is nothing to smile about. I usually force a smile, because people find me nicer when I do. I think that when I look serious, irritated or angry they would run away from me. Maybe they just find me repelling to look at, I don’t really know. I don’t have the urge to ever question them about it. But I am positive on most accounts. I always hope the for the best, you will never hear me say that something won’t happen, before it even happened. I will wait and see, and till it happens I will believe it will, if that makes any sense at all.

I am very determent when it comes down to what I want. I have the strong urge to just go blind and only focus on that what I want. Like a tunnel vision, I only see my goal and to reach it I will step over dead bodies. Sounds a little gross, but of course it is just a metaphor. This determination also comes with being a perfectionist, really everything needs to be perfect, or better than perfect. As a child he hated the saying that no one was perfect, who the fck was no one? He didn’t understand it right away. Also he can react as a control freak, one that needs to know every second of the day, day in day out, seven days a week. He set a step, if he doesn’t know what the next will be. This is a really extreme explanation, it mostly shows when he is determent to reach a goal.

Sounds as if I am a creeper but I am a friendly person. I really am. I always smile, and even though I mostly do smile to those who show me some use, you still can’t say I am not friendly. I do nice things, sometimes. Being as dominant as I am friendly isn’t my middle name. It is hard to be friendly, my friends see me as a leader, because of my dominant character. That is something I really don’t mind, I love to be seen like that. It makes me feel good. I am a listener, and most of my friends come to me with their stories. That I listen to their story is merely because I can use it later against them. That might sounds mean, or devilish, but be honest they would do the same with me.

So I am friendly to my friends, the people I love. I am also very loyal to them. When there is a strong bond between me and a friend I will go through fire for that person. Loyalty has a lot to do with trust, that is how I see loyalty. When that trust is damaged you don’t have to count on me. Well I have to put this a little differently maybe. When you damage the trust, I will do everything in my power to destroy you. I am not pure evil, but I have my ways, and yes I mostly get what I want.

I don’t always show what I think or how I feel, call me mysterious. I just don’t want my dirty laundry on the street when that is not necessary. I don’t see myself as a celebrity, I merely see myself as an important person. That is how I like to see myself. Though, that self image may not be seen by others, I am good as long as I see it right? I can be vague, especially when I try to explain myself. Most of the people that already know me get what I try to say, strangers may find me alien, or maybe even insane. Again, I honestly don’t care.

I am what some say a tad extravagant. I like to be out in the open, straight to the point. I always do my thing. Not only in the way I do you see strains of this characteristic, I also love to be creative, in every way of the term. I am not sure if I can explain this really well to you. I told you I am good with words, I try to do magic with these. They help me to win a case. In that way I am creative, it’s like a play I perform every time. I also love to paint. Not that I do this often, as I have no time, whatsoever, but I do love it.

Women have said that I can be very romantic. It is not something that I like about myself, but most women seem to see it as positive, as why I name it now. You see, I see no real point in being romantic, on purpose. I am more a spontaneous kind of man. Flowers are the best example of this. I never plan on when I give the girl I date flowers, that just happens, merely red roses, or black when I wish them dead. Only white ones to those I crave, but that doesn’t happen much. Being romantic can be mistaken for being a gentleman, something I try to be, but as my negative side seem to win all the time, the gent in me is not as strong as the little devil on my shoulder.

* what are some things that you can improve on?

I knew this was coming, before you even said it, you are a little predictable you are. Negative treats are harder to point out, because I tend to make everything good about myself. Maybe that can be pointed out as negative, but I ma not really sure. You know what. Let’s do same as a minute ago, I will just point them out one by one. At least three you say? I think can come up with more.

Let’s start with saying I am overconfident. Call it cocky if you want. I just know that I am perfect, or at the very least close to perfect. I am the one guy that dares to say he has the looks and the brains. That sounds utterly gay, which I am not, but you probably see the point, as I do. This is the one thing I cant be vague about, not even mysterious. I like myself, that is what makes me me. When I see myself in the mirror I don’t think that I am ugly, need to work on something, I just see me and then I can be content with that.

I am also a guy that needs a lot of attention. I don’t like it to be ignored. It angers me to no point really. I just want to be known for who I am and for what I am, but to do so, you need to see me. You can’t ignore me and then expect me to believe that you got it all. Even when you don’t find me interesting, even then, I ask you to listen. Like I would when you came to me, with your boring story about world peace, a phenomena I still don’t get. How to make money when the world is in peace? Me practical? Call me the devil.

Some of my older friends name me as Evil bastard. As if I did them any wrong. Course, I did something I should not be proud of, but it were all reactions to the bigger picture. The picture in which I am happily married to a woman, a woman of my dreams, the one I crave. I do evil things, name them and I do them. I became a lawyer because I can help people to take money of other people. To make sure the criminal in lose. Sometimes I just want hell on earth. Sounds rather fascinating then insane right?

I am a little drama queenish. I seem to pick out all the shit there is about one person, and then make a drama over it. Even the smallest thing can be the cause for the biggest drama. Most people only find this funny, but it is really annoying, merely because again, I will be ignored. I also fake this characteristic of mine, just to show others that I am fake, as in they can trust me because I am stupid, and I don’t stand as high on the social ladder as you. I do this so I can turn against them and strike back harder than they will expect. That was the kind of thing I do. I know I sounds as if I am a asshole, hope you can still see me as a normal person.

I am very demanding I am not sure if I listed this one by positive as well, but then again, it can be negative, so I think you will understand why I listed it here too. Some called it spoiled, but I rather see it as gratitude for who I am. I mean, I know I only have to snap my fingers in order to get what I want, but that doesn’t mean I act like a rich kid. I just know what I want and I want it right away. I am not the kind of man who likes to wait.

* what's your biggest secret? we won't tell.

My biggest secret? You are really crossing the line here aren’t you. I mean come on, I am not going to discuss, my biggest secret with you. That means everyone will know about it and so it won’t be a secret anymore. Sounds logical right? … You have to know my secret? Okay, because you are as demanding as me, and I seem to like it. The biggest secret, something I don’t like to share with others, it that I have something to sleep with. I mean, oh god. I seriously don’t understand why I let you trick me into this, but as I told you to tell you, I will. I sleep still with my teddy bear. I can’t go without it. It is really my biggest secret, as I am not known as a soft kind of man. I never play the sweet and soft card. I don’t actually like to be seen as sweet. And my teddy just comforts me. He listens and doesn’t argue as most of you. My little Riddle. Yes, I names the my brown friend Riddle. As you can never tell what he is thinking. Makes sense right? Oh I feel I have said to much already.

* what does your heart want?

Oh, are you getting to my heart already? Well to be honest I only love woman, I know that is a shock to the male society. I know there had been rumors, but really, I am a ladies’ man. I can’t really see myself with a man; I don’t think that will be tolerated by my father not by the inner circle I coop with. Anyways, I have the feeling you want to know what I like and what not. Okay I have a list here. Yes again, I am an organized. Anyway, you might have guessed that I am a dominant man. It is just who I am and not something I am willing about to change. Therefore I need a woman who has an attitude, a voice against mine. I don’t think I need a lady who I can ran over with, with any ease, because by that I won’t have the fun of the push and pull game I so desperately like. So she needs to be a little spicy. I am a little picky with girls. She actually needs to have some looks. I mean, she needs to be lady like. I am not that superficial that a girl needs to be platinum blond with big boobs and a fine ass. I mean course that is nice, but it would be superficial of mine to say that I will only fall for a girl based on that. The only thing I would like to say about looks is that she needs to be clean; a bad hygiene is most certainly a turn off. Furthermore there is something I really hate about a girl, and that is a really pinkish girly girl, not that I want a tomboy kind of girl, don’t get me wrong, it is just that, she shouldn’t be afraid for spiders or mice, you get what I am trying to point out here right?

* what do you do in your spare time?

This is a subtle way to change the subject. Let me think for a minute. Okay, I know what I point out to be my hobby. I like to make photos; I really put all my creativity into that. I can walk through the streets and just take random pictures, mostly strangers. When I put my mind to one of them I can look at them for hours. Some find me scary when I am that caught up in my work. Most of them though are afraid to come over to me to ask me what is wrong. They could ask what I am doing. It isn’t that I am a sick pervert, who get a kick out of making pictures of strange women.

I also love to play the guitar. I am not that good, but it is more something to relax with, just a thing to do when I am done with work. I have this very old guitar that I got as a gift from my uncle, before he returned to Russia. It is hard to tune, but that doesn’t matter as I said I am not that musical at all, and me saying that is not something I do often. I normally don’t talk about my flaws, but as I even told my secret to you I can share this with you too. Please keep it for only you!

* so what does your family life look like?

Oh, do we need to do this? I mean. I started to like you, but when we go and do the family talk I might end up holding a grudge against you. Okay, don’t give me a face like that. I will start.

Let’s start off with my father, the proud man. He is not among us anymore, let I state that before I tell you more about him. He was a cruel man, only thinking about the future, not taking any note of what was important on a normal day. He worked hard, maybe a little too hard. He made my mother’s life livable, by working that hard. Their relationship, as I can define it, has had all the elements of a ‘living apart together’ syndrome. I don’t know if you ever heard of it. What I mean to say is that they did love each other on some level, but they never showed it. They merely showed the hate they had for each other, till the point on which they just blankly ignored one another. My father and I were like every father and son. He had high expectations. He didn’t approve of any other subject than subjects which had an influence on my future. It got tiring to talk about tomorrow, before the day we were in was over. I think you might see this as well. I didn’t hate my father; I really looked up to him. I am a lot like him. I get obsessed with things like he did. I am not sure if I can honestly say I miss him. I don’t attach myself like that to family members. I merely like friends, because I can pick this myself. Family is only loyal because they have to.

My mother was an angel. She took care of me for the years she was among us. She left me sooner than my father. She was a weak woman, mostly woman are weak, but she was really exceptional weak. She did her best and she fought hard. As hard as a woman can, but she wasn’t strong enough. Let me put it like this. Her decease was eating her from the inside, and she was fighting it from the outside. That didn’t help her at all. The relation between her and my father wasn’t really normal. I think I said enough about it while talking about my father, thought there is something more. My mother didn’t love my father. She stayed with him because of me, but she had her friends when my father was out for a week. I met a few, but I know there are more. The relationship between my mother and I is less than a normal mother-son relationship. I mean. I respected my father more; he was a dreamer and made his own dreams come true. My mother was weak and sick most of her living days. She taught me to love the day as it is. At the end of my mother’s life she was afraid of me, because she confused me with my father. That was indeed scary. I always try to forget these memories. They don’t make me happy or bliss.

I also have a best friend, one that is really special to me. The hag –because she isn’t taken yet I will call her the hag for now-, she was my side kick to be honest. She followed my lead and never asked me questions. If she did, which was rare for her to do, she always tried to help. I was fond of her, she was really nice to be with, and she was the only real friend I ever had. The rest were just people who wanted to be close to me, because my father had money. That isn’t something you want to be famous about, if you understand what I am saying. To be honest, they never took me for who I was, there was always an intention behind it. The hag never judged me. She can be really named as my closed friend.

* what are the memorable moments in your life?

Three events only? Oh well, let me think, there happened so much already. I will just put up three events that had the biggest influence on my life as it is right now. I will put them in line for you;

The first even that changed my happy little life as it was, was the death of my mother when I was fifteen. I already told you see was weak, and she passed away when I was still young. What I didn’t really explain was the effect it had on my life. Well, my mother was my angel as I said, and she was. When she passed away, the only parent who should have been there to support me wasn’t there. My father had never really been a father. I looked up to the man, and I had great respect for him, but he was so different than me. Well that lies in the past now. My father started to work harder, and there were days if not whole weeks when I was just by myself with a nanny to watch over me. It weren’t the best times I have known, but I still live. My father had huge expectations of me, and wanted only the best if not more. I should be a man. I should fight for what I wanted. My father changed the sweet and loving boy into what I am now a companion of the devil. Thinks like that never fade. The nanny left me when I was ten years old. She couldn’t handle me anymore. From that point on I was on myself.

The second event that changed my life was my father’s death. It was tragic. I mean. I loved that man. In a weird way he had been there for when my mother passed away. Let’s face it, he wanted me to work my ass off to become just like him. I know I am a lot like him. I have his weird obsessions too. It does freak me out sometimes, but it also makes me proud. My old man did everything for me. He wanted me to become the best and to have the highest social status, which meant I needed to work hard really hard when he died though the world opened up for me. The dark clouds that were cluttering my view opened up duo an ocean of fire. It was a good thing for me, because I gained back my freedom, the thing I craved. Suddenly I could make choices on my own, instead of father who knew everything better.

Becoming a lawyer is a long road, I knew that, but I had my ways in. To my surprise even my background helped me to get a contract under a Russian firm. I represented the company. I did my job well, but there was something wrong. I felt I was sitting on a chair which wasn’t meant for me. So I tried to work myself up, first as a manager, to chief and I even tried to because the boss of the firm. I took a leap into the dirt my boss left, his family, his daughter, his beautiful daughter. I kind of got obsessed with her. I didn’t act like that though, as my master plan was to overthrow her father. Her father was a smart business man though; he was far more experienced than I was at the time. He saw I wanted his spot, and to prevent me from getting it he fired me. I was furious, I always got what I wanted and I wanted to become the man in charge. So I started to follow his daughter, I she was my next target, I needed to have her, even if it was only to torture her father.

* so we've heard that you're a lot like Rothbart

name: Okay I have chosen all Russian names, as was asked to make him Russian. Vladimir means rules with greatness, and I think that deep down inside of him he wants to be the greatest of them all. He feels he is better than anyone else and acts like that. So I think that name fits. Borislavov, well I was told by someone that Russian people don’t have normal middle names, she had a word for it, which I of course lost along the way, but I know why it is this name, because it tells everyone, who is father is. Rostislav means to usurp glory, which he does or thinks he can. He is a very confident person, and I think his name represent him well.
His nick name, Daniel, may be strange, and I do understand that. Though he doesn’t like the nickname Vlad, so I wanted him to have a nickname which he will like. Daniel, means god is my judge, which can be seen as, again, his confidence. I mean, he thinks that only god can judge over him. As if he is above all the others.
play by: Rob, yeah, well he has the bronze reddish hair color, and both have a big nose, I think rob has a big nose. I also feel that some face expressions really are alike. There might be more to tell, but I don’t have more on my sleeve right now.
positive traits: Well, to be honest we don’t know much of Rothbart. I have seen the movie several times now, but all I could think of was that he was over confident and that he really loved himself. Also that he could be obsessed with things and that he was determent to reach his goals. I think I put everything in there that has to do with these characteristics.
negative traits: Well, these are the same as with the positive traits, I even used one negative on my positive list I see now, but he doesn’t really think he has any negative traits.
orientation: I never got the slightest hint of him being gay. It might would be weird as he did liked Odette.
turn ons: I just image some stuff here, thinks Rothbart would find attractive in a person. ‘The movie doesn’t show much about this.
turn offs: difficult again, I think Rothbart would never fall for a girl he could dominate, because he would be bored after a while, he needs someone who does indeed listen to him, but still has her own strong personality, which clashes with his.
spare time: This was a hard one, I made him a photographer, so he could observe the people around him more, and he plays the guitar only to relax, as he did in the song.
family life: As we didn’t know much about this, I just gave him a father, mother and a friend. I don’t think he had brothers or sisters else he would have been slightly different in my opinion.
memorable moments: Okay I picked three moments out of his life, which has something to do with the character Rothbart. To begin with the death of his mother. I am not sure if this indeed happened, but I see Rothbart as a young boy who is still sweet, even though he got more of his father than his mother, and because his mother died the balance disappeared and he got the dark side of his father. Rothbart seem to me as a person who is free and can do whatever he likes. I wanted to do the same with Vladimir, but to so his father needed to die, has he was under the wings of that man. The last memory has to do with the company of Odette’s father. Vladimir turned into a staler at the point he got fired, and Rothbart took Odette away from her father when he got banished. So there is the connection I believe.
