Description
Another Far Cry OC, this time a potential protagonist for the Far Cry Eastern Europe fan scenario from the wonderful almesiva-moonshadow.deviantart… and uploaded with her kind approval.Name: Ciki Bitorajac
Status: Alive
Age: 21
Date Of Birth: February 17, 1997
Birthplace: Eastern Europe
Nationality: UEEC (Unnamed Eastern European Country)
Religion: Eastern Orthodox Christian
Hair Colour: Brunette
Eye Colour: Brown
Alias(es): Farm Boy, Hellraiser
Affiliation: Government Loyalists, albeit reluctantly
Profession: Farmhand on his father’s farm, later a counter revolutionary
Relatives: Branko (father), Meliha (mother), Lamija (sister)
Background: Raised on his parents’ farm in a rural village, Ciki was barely aware of the political instability taking root in his nation, much less the insurrection lead by ‘General’ Valenta. His concerns mostly focused on growing tangerines with his father and spending time with his best friend, Cera, and girlfriend, Teodora.
This hard but mostly happy, rustic lifestyle was shattered when dozens of revolutionaries, led by Valenta himself, stormed Ciki’s village and burned it to the ground in reprisal for the villagers ostensibly sheltering the deposed president.
Ciki’s parents were killed, and Cera, Teodora, and Lamija were taken captive. Ciki himself, while he managed to kill a few revolutionaries attempting to defend his home, fled into the woods. The farmer’s son took shelter in a cave in the nearby woods were he stumbled upon none other than the president. Despite some hostility from Ciki, the former leader appealed to him for help, saying he still had supporters hiding around the country that could be rallied and allies in the West, including the CIA.
From there, Ciki finds himself as the de facto leader/firebrand/poster boy of a counter revolution, fighting to free his homeland from Valenta and rescue his friend, sister, and girlfriend.
Personality And Traits: Ciki can be hot headed and stubborn at times, but also has a sentimental side. This sometimes leads him to bouts righteous fury, particularly after the razing of his village.
Appearance: Ciki is just shy of six feet tall and in good shape as a result of years of farm work, as well as hiking and hunting.
Equipment: Ciki starts out armed with a hunting knife and bolt action rifle. He later arms himself with a wide array of heavy weapons and explosives.
Relationships: Teodora-Ciki and Teodora have known each other since childhood, becoming a couple as teenagers. Teodora is a sweet girl, but isn’t afraid to speak her mind or smack Ciki upside the head when he needs it. Ciki was looking for the right moment to propose to Teodora when their village was attacked. Afterward, the lovely farmer’s daughter was taken by Valenta as a ‘Battlefield Bride.’
Cera-Like Teodora, Ciki has been close with Cera for much of his life. The two friends played and fought other boys as children, and worked, drank and hunted together as teens and young adults. While Ciki always had eyes only for Teodora, Cera was more of a ladykiller. Following the attack on the village, Cera was conscripted by the revolutionaries.
Lamija-Ciki and his younger sister, Lamija, 17, have a fairly typical sibling relationship; theyfight and tease each other a lot, but clearly love one another. After being captured by the Revolutionaries, Lamija was sent to work as a slave laborer in a factory.
The President-When Ciki first met his nation’s in hiding leader, he tried to strangle the embattled politician. From there, the two develop a working relationship as the farm boy turned fighter helps reinstall the country’s dull but functional leader.
Trivia: At one point, Ciki attempted to team up with Willis, following promises for assistance with the fight against the Revolutionaries from the agent. However, Willis quickly betrayed Ciki and handed him over to Valenta, only for the self appointed general to betray and kill Willis, with the blessing of the agent’s own CIA superiors.

I see you focus more on the characters than the setting. I myself find this an interesting idea and concept for a story. Maybe the country of choice could be Ukraine, given the turbulent situation there. Estonia is also a good candidate. It kinda depends on what time period you would want to set this in. Since there was no WW2 Far Cry game, Estonia in this period is a perfect setting.
It could branch out from the other Far Cry games, since there are 2 tyrannical regimes competing for dominance: Stalin's Soviet Union and Hitler's Nazi Germany.
Historically speaking, many villages rebelled against the Soviet Union, believing the Germans to be liberators while others stayed loyal to Stalin's regime. Naturally it did not took long for both sides to commit atrocities against one another. While Wermacht and the Red Army fought on their own fronts, the militant factions of various villages lead their own battles in forests, marshes and mountains of Estonia.
Rather than rebelling against a single regime, the protagonist can be an Estonian farmer simply wanting the life to be as it was, not caring much for any of the sides. Rather than a president, the leader of the "good guys" can be a mayor of a small town, trying to save civilians, while maneuvering between the warring factions. He could use a help of your hero ...
Sorry, I went on a bit of an trek of fantasy. I just felt the setting could be very interesting, rather than just ONE revolution against ONE tyranny
Note: I like that Ciki's first weapon is a bolt-action rifle rather than a bow, which I find to be overdone. There are some options how to deck that baby out: scope, bayonet, grenade rod. It might not seem like it, but a bolt-action rifle can be very viable weapon.

Thanks so much for favoriting this!
I was kind of thinking that this would take place in a fictional small country, a common FC trait, though I kinda had the Balkans in mind, probably because almesiva-moonshadow.deviantart… , whose idea of a FC game in Eastern Europe inspired this character, is Serbian. That said, Ukraine or Estonia sound like good options, certainly more plausible then an ISIS-esque cult setting up shop in rural America (looking at you, FC5).
I actually really like the idea of a Far Cry type game/story set in World War II. I'm a huge history buff, and particularly love the 'Great Patriotic War' and resistance groups in World War II. Putting the two together sounds freaking awesome! You'll probably see profiles for something like a Nazi version of Vaas and some kind of evil yet charismatic Soviet officer pop up soon.
Agreed that bows are pretty overdone, (seriously, why would the girl in Hunger Games ever think a bow would be a good weapon for an urban warfare battlefield?) A bolt action rifle seemed like a good starter, since it's accurate and believable that a rural farm boy would own one, though that might be my American-ness showing. Also, love the idea of the upgrades you suggested.
Thanks again, my dear friend, you've given me a lot of good ideas here.

Yeah, Serbia actually makes more sense. It is a much more likely place for a large scale conflict given the tensions between ethnic groups and between Serbian itself and Kosovo. It is also a much more likely place to see foreign influence such as the CIA since the countries of the Balkan region are an important border between Europe and Middle East.
Estonia is just kinda on the side, not that important region. The Germans themselves just passed through the region during WW2 heading towards Leningrad without really establishing some order or government. That is why I envisioned it for a good site of revolution because without any government, there were enough ex-military officers and Red Army soldiers who organized civilians into armed groups and fought for dominance.
I personally would like to see WW2 game about some resistance group. Most of them seem to focus on the larger battles, particularly when the US entered the conflict. With luck, we only see the French resistance. There is too much untapped potential in the Polish resistance or the Soviet Union itself with its own wave of revolutions and contra-revolutions. Estonia is just one region where such uprisings happened.

I've seen a few games that focus on resistance groups in World War II, but sadly they tend to range from bad to meh. Also, as you mentioned they tend to focus on the French Resistance, even though they really never did much of anything outside espionage, some sabotage, and occasionally assassinating someone.
Enemy Front was an ambitious indie game, with missions focused on Norwegian commandos and the Polish Home Army (and of course the French Underground). But the gameplay was so terrible it bordered on unplayable and, the biggest problem of all, they made the hero an American. That one decision changed the game from a story about brave people from numerous countries rising up to fight their Nazi occupiers to yet another game about America coming to rescue these poor foreigners. Worse yet, the guy was a journalist, (who kept jumping into shootouts with Nazis for some reason), they could of had the player control several different fighters from different countries, old school Call of Duty-style, with the traveling reporter as a framing device.
Hopefully someday we'll get a good resistance focused game.

Now that is what makes me sad. Bad games with no potential are just bad games, but interesting concepts which fail because of bad technical execution or some misguided decisions are aggravating. Seems like there is some potential being lost.
Maybe there is some indie game out there that does not have much coverage but these are not safe from game breaking bugs and bad optimization which can make any good game sour. I have too many experiences when I tried out an obscure game with some original concept, only to reach a game breaking bug a few levels in. Not to mention the gymnastics I had to do with the options and configuration to make the game stable.
