About the Artist
Alvaro Dolores was born and raised in East Harlem. He is a sophomore at Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology and will graduate in 2025. He has work experience in the Creative Art Works Character Design internship and he has learned many new ways to make an iconic character. His ADHD and autism has allowed him to have a strong imagination and creativity to do well in this program, and he is working on a boxing character for his internship with CAW. His talent in art will be very useful to this end, as creativity is needed for the field of animation and graphic design.

Character Description
Daniel Sorokin was born at Oymyakon, Russia on April 6 1965. When he was 14, his family moved to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and he was bullied because he was Russian, and the bullies would call him a “drunk pink man” and beat him up. He decided to fight back one day, but it impacted his life heavily, because he punched a student to death, which led to him being sentenced to five years in juvenile detention. As he was locked up, he spent the next five years building his body and ruling juvenile hall. His sentence was supposed to be ten but he got paroled, and was offered a contract by an underground boxing company after hearing what he did.
Once his parents saw him, they were flabbergasted and amazed. Daniel wound up training more independently as he prepared himself for future battles. Daniel is more than a boxer, he's a killer when he punches someone in a spot that hurts them the most. He has the strength halfway close to a bear, and can cause a person's bones to shatter into a powder if hit at the right area with full force.
Although he’s very strong, he’s so big that someone who is shorter and faster can hit him in the liver or make him respond slowly to curtain attacks. He has a huge fear of rabbits, as they remind him of a bully who left a gutted rabbit in his lunch box with a hammer and sickle.
