Dimitri Rascalov Character Mod

********************************************************************************************************

Background:

Dimitri was born in Russia in 1969 and served in the Soviet Army during the Cold War. At some point, he befriended Mikhail Faustin. They later spent time in a Siberian prison together, where Mikhail protected Dimitri from being raped by the other inmates. They have matching tattoos on the palms of their hands, which means that they are "brothers" for life. They began their criminal activities in Russia, where they were both "selling hash to tourists in Red Square", and Dimitri was convicted of murder more than once.

In the mid-1990s, he "exploited a loophole in the US immigration treaty" to move to Liberty City, as did Mikhail. Mikhail moved with his wife and young daughter. Dimitri was arrested in 1998 and 2000 for extortion and hijacking, respectively. In following years, Mikhail's addictions to alcohol and cocaine caused his anger and paranoia to spiral out of control. Dimitri abused painkillers but remained calm. While Mikhail had taken to an extreme level of violence, even by organized crime standards, Dimitri favored reasoning with people to maximize profits (although he could still intimidate people if necessary), telling Mikhail time and time again that they had to "play by the rules."

Description:

Dimitri was always a favorite antagonist of mine. Even though he is evil, and you begin to hate him the first time he betrays Niko, I have always found him to be an intriguing character of the GTA series. At least for me anyway, his story with Mikhail Faustin and his background that we learn about are really interesting.
Feel free to use the assets from this mod to give clothes to mp characters or story peds if you like! Any model related thing I upload on this site you can use for your own creations! Just be sure to credit me when making your own stuff, because it's difficult to convert models into GTA 5. A lot of trial, error, and time was put into it lol.

I did not expect him to turn out as good as he did, not to toot my own horn, but my new knowledge in ped editing is getting better and better as I have learned more about how the facial animations work. Plus, the help from people in our discord server who have provided tips and tricks to make model editing work a whole lot better for me and my methods!
