Martin always wanted to become a soccer star, playing his favorite sport in front of millions of adoring fans. Luckily for him, a won contest and a very special rubber costume are able to make his dreams come true! Once he closes the suit's final zipper, all he has to do is wait while the specially fitted rubbery tech inside the suit bonds with his body, infusing him with natural talent far beyond he ever could have dreamed. After all, when you're the mascot for the 2018 soccer world cup, pro skills are essiential for the role!

Of course, when becoming the mascot, there's a certain mindset you need to have. Outgoing, charismatic, and having a loving obsession for soccer that would concern anyone who's not supposed to be a living embodiment of the sport. It means getting a new personality. A new name. New memories.

It means that there may be a few more mental "side effects" than Martin initially anticipated. It means that his role may be more permanent than he initially thought. It means that Martin may not even be thinking for much longer.

But when you're Zabivaka the Russian world cup mascot, why think when you can play? Playing the sport you love for the enjoyment of people who love it - who could want anything more?
