Doctor Okulov

Doctor Okulov
''As a pioneer in the space age, Doctor Okulov is no stranger to the stars. His research into gravitational-creation arc theory led him to patent a model used by Space Stations far and wide across the Milky Way. After selling his patent to the US Space Force, the good Doctor has come to the underworld of Metropolis City to conduct his research. Just what is he cooking up this time?''

- In-game Description.

Doctor Okulov is a playable character in Metropolis: 3020.

Development
Doctor Okulov's character design comes from a few space-themed sources, such as StarCraft and Zone of the Enders. He wears a blue space suit and red-tinted glasses. His mother is American and his father, Russian.

Personality
Doctor Okulov falls into the category of the "quiet, wise-type" who believes he is the most intelligent scientist in Metropolis (and probably the world). Unlike other characters, however, he is thankful for the opportunity to compete with others and avoids being directly rude to others. He has a despondant, despairing side, particularly shown in his lose quotes after battles.

Story (Spoiler Alert)
Doctor Okulov's business empire is an attempt to generate income for his next scientific endeavour, which is never specified but invariably involves space-age technology. He comes up against his total polar opposite in both personality and mannerisms: the occultist Regine LeBlanc. In a conflict between Science and Magic, Doctor Okulov wins and quietly leaves the city with his hard-earned Cash to tread upon man's next frontier.

The Good Doctor was also previously the owner of a pet monkey, who after a failed experiment gained the power to think and speak with great intelligence. This monkey is the playable character Cheep-Cheep.
