Konsta: 2, 6, 11, 18, 31, 37, A, E!!

Ah, one of the classics, one of the 2½ certified Nemo’s OCs™.

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh? Konsta’s a bit of a restrained dude as far as his emotions go, so I think getting more than a “hearty chuckle”™ out of him would require a bit more effort. On the other hand, seeing how this question is written, it might also mean does he have difficulty laughing? I guess he isn’t the most jovial person and perhaps in some sense a bit embarrassed to show emotions in some situations, so yeah.

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?He would rather they be good enough that no one would have to bend them, but they clearly aren’t (mostly relating to mages, he has…. opinions). If he can live his life with the bad laws, he rather not break them, but rn for example he is in a situation where he should turn himself back in, which would mean death, and also turn all of his friends in. So maybe rather not.

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?Konstantine would seek clarification in most situations. But there might be people and situations where his pride would not let him show ignorance, so then he would nod and smile, of course he knows, and then sneak off to figure things out on his own (he prefers searching knowledge on his own regardless, but understands that in all situations he can’t afford that, and in those cases he just asks).

18. What embarrasses them?Having strong outward emotional reactions, regardless of emotion. His parents, being noble, were rather strict with it and the Circle didn’t really afford him a chance to correct that behavior.

Having to ask other people for too much help re: his illness. He has managed it very well for a long time, so having to ask for support is a big thing. I remember when he first met the PCs, they suggested that Kanuuna could simply carry him out of the sewers, and yes, he would have none of that.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met? Probably Ser Thomas, who was one of the only people he really considered a friend in the Circle. He was a templar, but a moderate one and he taught Konstantine to sword-fight, giving him more bodily autonomy. I guess he felt that he could be himself, whoever that was (teenage/young adult questioning was def happening), with Ser Thomas.

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? Hmm, an interesting question. Konstantine has done /a lot/ of studying in his time, so he definitely has tried various systems. For useless information (such as names of kings or something), he memorizes them through repetition and then throws them out of his mind as soon as he doesn’t need them anymore. For useful stuff (magic and potions), he tries to map them in some way (mind maps!) or link them up into a narrative. He always prefers to have them written down if he can, though.

A) Why are you excited about this character?Haha, well, he’s my first necromancer character that I’ve really liked. I guess the key is that he does other stuff too? :D I really like that he’s the character I can pour all my magic theories/knowledge through, cos I got a lot of that, and Cahair doesn’t know a thing. He has really interesting relationship with death and with the world outside himself, bc of his lack of freedom his whole life and bc he is basically expecting to drop dead any second now (for 50 years). It’s that nuanced stuff™.

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?I’d love him. :O Mostly bc all that good good knowledge. I think he would be willing to teach me, but I don’t think I’m not the kind of person he’d like as a friend.
