Romek Mechanic and Gunsmith Lore

Romek's arms dealer is Shura, a 39 year old Russian man who has at least 3 cats in his arms shop that he operates as a tea shop in Little Everything. Generally you come in after hours to pick up your order.

You usually go into the shop, order a large amount of Russian Caravan, and come back later to actually do business.

Shura is constantly wearing aviators, definitely works out his arms, and wears a plain white baseball cap.

Shura definitely tries to give Romek advice when he doesn't want or need it. He seems to know more about the supernatural/underworld than he lets on, but Romek never gives him a chance to speak on it.

Cats names are Gleb, Gorky, and Kesha. (Kesha is named after KE$HA the singer)

Shura has a partner and one kid, his son. Often times Shura tries to rope Romek into trying to meet his of-age niece who is never seen. Romek is very against this.

Shura definitely likes hanging out with Romek in his shop, but Romek usually wants in and out unless he gets distracted by something Shura says and gets caught up in it.

He usually tries to get customers to drink a cup or two of tea.

Rafal is Romek's mechanic. He is 26 and always trying to get Romek to get the newest modification to his car. Romek is always on the verge to buying them but usually doesn't have enough to pay for it unless he finds a new grift.

Rafal is friends with one of Romek's cousins so old land connections. He wears an army tank top, is pretty lean, and has crazy eyebrows that distract you from the rest of his face.

Rafal does street racing and is major inspo for Romek. Romek plays up his car mods and his knowledge to impress him.

Rafal lives in a small mobile home (not exactly in a trailer park) so he has a decent front yard and lets Romek park his van there for free. Romek usually buy him take out in return (he can't buy beer in this country)

Rafal is a pretty good mechanic but definitely favors the flashy stuff over actual substance. He cares about the car running and going fast, but it doesn't mean much if it doesn't have RBG headlights and nitrous oxide in the back. Romek also aligns with that philosophy with his car.

Basically Rafal is living the high life to Romek.
