LEADER DMITRY

[admin]

LEADER DMITRY insists he's only a gym trainer, but he's the leader in practice. He doesn't seem like a natural-born leader with his dark sense of humor and cheerful nihilism, but perhaps that's what makes it easy for him to stay sane in these dark times. Besides, he's an impressive trainer that's done well at protecting the survivors.

"I took an inventory. The good news is that we've got booze for twenty years to come. The bad news is that we're all out of olives."

Dmitry was one of the dealers at Sanctum, typically the dealer and the favorite for high stakes games. It's well known that Dmitry would never stack a deck. Not only is he paid far too much to care about bribes, there's no fun in it for him if Lady Luck is taken out of the picture.

He became gym leader after the scourge invasion. Angelo is the actual gym leader, and Dmitry insists that he's still alive despite leaving to fight the scourge and never coming back. Dmitry's taken over in his absence. When the scourge attacked, he gathered the weak and the wounded. Now, he and the gym trainers are protecting them until... well, until they can't anymore.

Dmitry leads scavenging groups--humans only, no pokemon allowed for fear of the virus--to head out into Nerio City in search of food and supplies. Outside for the scavenging runs, no one leaves the gym grounds. He figures they quieter they are, the less likely the scourge will decide they need to be exterminated.
