PLAYER: Whit PREFERRED CONTACT:whitticus OR discord at whitticus#8139—feel free to add! CHARACTER & CANON: Viktor, Arcane
THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: magitech engineer faces down his own impending death and chooses science crime (info post, app) UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: a laser cutter that he insists is totally harmless and meant for artisanal applications only but really it is just a death ray. and then you try to explain to him that it’s just a death ray and he straight up no joke does not understand why anyone would think that it’s a death ray.
alternatively the worst kitchen unitasker you can possibly think of
HOUSING: #6 (Su Xunxian, Marcos, Wrathion, Chu Wanning)….hi every one FREQUENT HABITS: Getting situated. INVESTIGATING. Poking around, possibly in places he should not be. Viktor thinks rules are for chumps and given the chance to break and enter he WILL take it, especially if he thinks he can get his hands on something cool. otherwise, he Always needs to be working on a project, so he’ll be looking to be as productive as possible, despite the circumstances.
WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? uh he JUST GOT HERE. tl;dr he staggered into Ke-Waiar, learned a bunch of stuff about werewolves, and was eventually sent to Ke-Waihu with the delegation where he was recognized as an offworlder and shuffled in with the rest of you. he’s BEWILDERED. and MAD and will MAKE THIS KNOWN.
idk I will do a real intro. soon. watch this space.
CR THEY NEED: ✷ Science types. People who want to learn about science and/or can and will tolerate him going on about metaphysics. He is always ready and willing to jam with fellow nerds/engineers/tinkerers/etc. ✷ Along those lines, he can tinker stuff FOR YOU, and will probably want to make friends with people who can do things he can’t, like go out on dangerous adventures and acquire exciting resources. ✷ fellow members of the terminally ill club ✷ possibly he needs a medical intervention, or a magical one ✷ people to genuinely be friends with him and pull him out of his comfort zone, which is working until 4am and then falling asleep at his desk
CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO: ✷ people to side-eye his general penchant for screwing around with unknown forces he does not understand and can’t control. it’s fine tho he knows what he’s doing ✷ people of OPPOSING PHILOSOPHIES—viktor is a pacificst/idealist and surprisingly empathetic, with lots of opinions about how the purpose of scientific advancement is to mitigate human suffering, as opposed to, like, building a super mega death rocket and killing a bunch of people. who’s up for some RATIONAL DEBATE
THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN: ✷ Solving this werewolf problem?? He’s bewildered and mad but they were nice to him in Ke-Waiar (he also appreciates their compassion towards the afflicted villagers) and he probably would have been murdered by said werewolves if they hadn’t grabbed him. He’s willing to at least investigate whatever the heck that’s about. ✷ Also gotta figure out this atoning business. Ugh. Terrible. What an inconvenience (also it has stuff to do with wolves. sensing a pattern here…) ✷ Not necessarily related to this specific arc, but, before arriving here Viktor was about to, uh, do some light human experimentation (on himself) with a somewhat questionable magic conduit he built. He is going to try and do this or similar with whatever he can get his hands on around here, because he is dying. My ultimate trajectory here is for him to finally find a way to cure himself, but in the meantime he will be seeking out stop-gap methods to help keep himself alive. Maybe you have healing powers? Maybe you want to help him with his shady research?? Come on in here
