ARE THEY BASED IN EIDRIS OR MINARAS: Minaras, baybe
THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: magitech engineer faces down impending death and chooses science crime (info post, app)
A PET PEEVE THAT GETS THEIR TEETH GRITTING: complacency. a lack of intellectual curiosity and passive acceptance of the status quo. the general slow-walking of various innovations that have the potential to genuinely improve lives. being coddled or otherwise treated as delicate or less than capable.
WHAT SPARKS THEIR JOY: Innovation! Technological breakthroughs! The exhilarating feeling of breaking rules for science and the betterment of society!!! fucking around and finding out!!
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO? Mostly just trying to survive. Taking robots apart and putting them back together again. Otherwise keeping his head down and absorbing any and all magitech information that he can. Also possibly figuring out a way to not die.
On the OOC side of things I had kind of a hellish summer at work so I’ve been Pretty Absent and I’m very sorry about it. Trying to ease my way back into things now that real life is cooling off, but I’m definitely behind and greatly appreciate everyone’s patience.
CR/SCENARIOS YOU WANT:
✷ 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. ✷ Viktor comes from a place not unlike Eidris/Minaras (divided, upstairs-downstairs kind of city situation), so he absolutely has some insights ✷ 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 ✷ 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 death rocket and killing a bunch of people. who’s up for some RATIONAL DEBATE
