Though the two might be thanks to living with Russia for a long time. Once he warms up to you though you will find out out that he is very loyal to his friends and cares about them deeply. Though he has a hard time saying no to some people namely to Poland and Russia. He can't hide anything from Russia either. Toris also loves to read to read and write.

(((The Pages of History )))
History:2000 B.C. Lithuanian ancestors settle along the Baltic coast.
1009 A.D. Lithuania is first mentioned in chronicles. Lithuanians already have a reputation as fierce warriors.
1200 While much of Europe has already converted to Christianity, Lithuania is still pagan and will remain so for several hundred more years. Lithuanians believed fire embodies the divine. A sacred flame is kept at a Vilnius temple tended to by vestal virgins. If they break their vows of chastity or the flame goes out, the penalty is death.
1236 Lithuania is united by Mindaugas and later crowned king. Unification helps Lithuania fend off German crusaders.
1323 Vilnius founded by Grand Duke Gediminas.
1386 To keep the Germans at bay, the Lithuanian Grand Duke and Polish Queen wed, creating a monarchial union. This leads to Lithuania's final conversion to Christianity. The first act of faith is felling sacred trees and statues to pagan gods.
1392-1430 Lithuania-Poland stretches to the Black Sea. In 1410, Lithuanians and allies crush the Teutonic Knights, ending the Teutonic Knight's military might in the region for good.
1400s Jews begin to settle in Lithuania. In time, Vilnius becomes a center of Jewish culture and learning in the world.
1569 Weakening Lithuania enters a formal Commonwealth with Poland.
1657 The plague strikes and half the Vilnius’ residents die.
1795 The Commonwealth is cut up by the partitions; Lithuania ends up in Russia.
1860-1885 Lithuanian uprisings; Czar outlaws public use of Lithuanian.
1900 Lithuanians begin emigrating en mass to escape Czarist persecution. The émigrés spread their influence far and wide. Among those who are either from Lithuania themselves or whose parents were: British actor Sir John Gielgud, singer Al Jolson, actor Charles Bronson, the Three Stooges, and American composer Aaron Copland. The father of former Israeli premier Ehud Barak was from Lithuania. Today, some 800,000 Americans claim Lithuanian heritage.
1918 Lithuania declares independence.
1920 After battling Russia and other powers, Lithuania secures independence. Poles occupy Vilnius; Kaunas becomes Lithuania’s provisional capital. Catholic Lithuania breaks relations with the Vatican after Rome recognizes Polish rule over Vilnius.
1939 In March, a long-running dispute between Lithuania and Germany over the jurisdiction of Klaipeda comes to a head when Berlin demands that Lithuania give up the coastal city, or face a Nazi invasion. Lithuania, figuring it couldn’t depend on support from either Russia or any Western powers, gives in to the ultimatum. On March 22, Hitler arrives in Klaipeda.
1939 In August, Hitler and Stalin carve up Europe, with the Baltics in the Soviet sphere. Before, the Baltics were able to play Germany and Russia off each other, but they’re now virtually within U.S.S.R. occupies Lithuania; mass deportations to Siberia begin. Moscow hands Vilnius back to Lithuania.
1941 Nazis occupy Lithuania. Most of Lithuania’s 240,000 Jews are killed.
1944 Soviets occupy Lithuania again. Over 500,000 Lithuanians are either deported, forced into exile, jailed or shot.
1987 First open protests against Soviets.
1989 Lithuanian Communists vote to break with the Soviet Party, a daring, even dangerous move at the time.
1990 Lithuania declares independence, the first Soviet republic to do so. Earlier, Soviet leader Gorbachev visited Lithuania hoping to talk Lithuanians into sticking with Moscow.
1991 Soviet crackdown kills 13 civilians in Vilnius; in August, after a failed Kremlin coup, Lithuania wins independence.
March 29, 2004 Lithuania is accepted into NATO.
May 1, 2004 Lithuania joins the European Union.

Sample Post:
"Calm down girl!" Toris smiled as he was walking his tan and white boxer/pit bull Anna. He was taking her for their regular four mile walk. It made Anna happy and Toris liked the fresh air.
Then something caught Toris's eyes. It was a old mansion. He never saw it before. Anna ran to where the mansion was making the young man run after her. "Anna! Come back girl!" he called out. He finally caught up with her to see her behind the house in a garden.
In the garden were sunflowers. They were beautiful..though he noticed a few graves. That is if they could be called that since they were only large rocks. Seeing this made Toris frown slightly. He got a cloth and started to clean the dirty rocks. Soon he was done. "I know it's not much but it's better than nothing." he didn't know whose graves it belonged to but he could feel spirits were still here.
He got started on cleaning up the garden during that time he could hear giggling. Hearing this made him turn around to see nothing so he shrugged it off and went back to work. After a few hours of working he got done with fixing the garden. "Done." "Thank you mister!" a little girl's voice said. He turned around and saw two little girl's in old style of clothes. They were holding hands.
"Of course." Toris smiled. He could tell they were ghost right away but didn't panic or anything of that nature. "I'll make a better head stones for you two okay?" he said with a kind smile. "Alright mister." the girl who spoke earlier said.
Did you read the rules and Dark Reflections Canon?Italian Pasta
Random fun fact about yourself:You can call me Liet or Toris. I'm 22 years old. I'm like Toris in personality. A supporter of Russia/Liet and some crack pairings. I'm normally laid back. Sorry if I'm not a good speller too.
