Woah, say hello to Ratislav Iron-Soul. What is he for? Who knows. Something. Hopefully we'll be ready to say so soon, until then I'm building hype.

Congrats, you are the hype.

A very tired looking man with red eyes, messy reddish brown hair, and glasses. His glasses are down on the bridge of his nose and he is adjusting them with two fingers while looking at the viewer and holding a bundle of papers. He looks like he doesn't approve of the joke you just told, how could you.
