IMPRESSIONS
  • VISUAL [x] [x] [+ fashion vibes]
  • SHIFTED APPEARANCE [full shift] [everyday] [corruption notes] [vibes + inspo]
  • AURUAL [x], fantasy slavic accent
  • DEMEANOR soft-spoken and emotionally guarded but good natured and friendly underneath, with a dry sense of humor. quietly ambitious. obsessive workaholic. confident, curious, intellectual, reckless, idealistic. little tolerance for politicking. deeply sad.
  • PHYSICAL INFO terminally ill with a degenerative condition that is vaguely defined but basically presents as fantasy consumption. generally speaking, he looks unwell (gaunt, pale, eyebags for days, noticeably underweight) and coughs a lot, if your character is the type to notice such things. this is all independent of his physical disability; he uses a crutch and supportive brace to compensate for his right leg, and less visibly wears a back brace and has spinal implants. Secretly, he has self-inflicted rune-shaped scars across his chest, shoulders, and arms, and his right leg and hand are made of living metal, a result of his experimentation with the Hexcore. They're heavier and sturdier than flesh and blood, but removed from the device they give him no special abilities.
  • MENTAL INFO preoccupied with legacy. highly empathetic—the purpose of scientific advancement is to mitigate human suffering. breaking rules is fine and good actually. progress can't wait--but now he knows there are lines that must be drawn.
  • HISTORY undercity kid becomes dean's assistant at the fancy academy but aspires to greater things. helps harness magical forces through technological means. wants to improve lives but politics/class divisions/general unrest make things extremely fraught for basically everyone. invents a magic AI and uses it for science crimes in various escalating attempts to not die.
  • ABILITIES genius-level smart. mathematician, physicist, prodigious and resourceful tinkerer, inventor, magitech engineer.
  • SHIFTED ABILITIES tbd
IC PERMISSIONS
  • PHYSICAL AFFECTION sure! he doesn't seem adverse to casual/friendly/affectionate touching but is pretty indifferent when it comes to active flirting
  • PHYSICAL VIOLENCE i mean you CAN but you'd probably be a bad person
  • MIND READING/TELEPATHY yes. he has no ability to detect mental intrusions. if you need more information about what you might find in there, just let me know.
  • ROMANCE/RELATIONSHIPS you are welcome to give it a shot but he might be a little married to his work and/or reluctant to engage with someone romantically while actively dying and/or hung up on certain individuals. down to see what happens, unrequited and otherwise.
  • OFF-LIMITS although Viktor himself seems somewhat accustomed to casual ableism and will generally shrug off less egregious offenses, more aggressive scenarios, including but not limited to the deliberate use of slurs, and the taking, damaging/destroying, or withholding of his mobility aids, etc, is pretty much a positive CR insta-kill. I'm not opposed to playing this out, but let's get on the same page first and actively communicate for the duration of the interaction.
  • CONTENT WARNINGS terminal illness, rumination on said terminal illness, science crimes, self-harm (as part of science crimes), drug use, suicidal ideation, themes of trans/posthumanism, dissociation/derealization, loss of identity/self, ableism (internalized and experienced), body horror (of the techno-organic/biomechanical flavor), hackin' up blood into a handkerchief at plot relevant moments
OOC PERMISSIONS/PLAYER INFO
  • BACKTAGGING yes, absolutely! I track all my threads, but please let me know if I've missed something. if our thread has been going on a while and has reached a reasonable conclusion/resolution, I'll usually let it go.
  • FORMATTING I default to prose brackets but I have no preference. I will match you!
  • FOURTH WALLING no thanks!
  • AVAILABILITY I'm est and work weird hours, but I generally try to hit everything at least once or twice a day.
  • TO NOTE canon point is episode 9, after speaking with Jayce on the overlook, but before the council meeting. I'm caught up with season 2 and will certainly utilize viktor's general trajectory when spicy foreshadowing is convenient for me. please let me know if you'd like to avoid spoilers.
