Yuri the Russian Cosmonaut

A couple designs I did for a character named Yuri.  It's for my Story Development for Animation class.  We had to give our characters personalities so when they were put in situations we would have some idea to how they would respond.  Here's Yuri's:

Yuri – Russian Cosmonaut

Yuri is the only crewmember on a Russian space station.  His daily routines and the station’s need for maintenance have become his life. This solitude has made him wary of any communications from Earth and bitter enemies with the space station’s computer.  Because the computer is not a form of artificial intelligence and only vocalizes tasks being automatically performed by the station, this conflict is troublesome.  Also troublesome, Yuri is beginning to suspect there is something on the ship trying to dismantle it.  A proud, tightly wound, military man developing the OCD tendencies of Bill Murray from “What About Bob?” with the suspiciousness and underlying psychosis of Jack Nicholson from “The Shining”, Yuri still remains a redeemable character.

Yuri wants to follow orders.  This means he must succeed in his mission… everything else is secondary.  Yuri must continue to follow orders despite what he feels are the efforts of outside forces to stop him.

Yuri needs to relax.  Yuri has become so obsessed with following orders to the letter that he has lost even basic common sense.  His solitude and blind commitment to his mission have begun to make him delusional.  If he cannot learn to relax then any obstacle to him completing his mission could have unfortunate consequences.
