Krzysztof

Post by Kristijonas » February 26th, 2021, 3:26 am

Do you have any prior experience with Requiem? If so, please detail when (and what characters, if desired) you previously played:
Yes, I forgot half the names though! I remember Angiras, Lux, Herihor, Vaisistha, Durga, Maya. All in act 5.

Briefly summarize your prior role-playing experience in a sentence or two:

lots of everything

Why do you wish to play on Requiem, and what do you expect from the shard?

i like the setting and the mechanics and the mood. Want to immersively flesh out an interesting character concept in all those three things.

What will your character’s name be?:

Krzysztof

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:

A rather handsome man in his early 30s, Krzysztof has a slim but strong and healthy looking build and is a bit above average in height. His eyes are beautiful grayish-green, his hair darkish brown, his skin pale. His straight back and symmetrical face are unmistakable features.

Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:

Running away from criminals; Adventurousness.

Briefly provide a pertinent detail or notable quality of your character’s history (this does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret):

Krzysztof's heritage is a little complicated. He was born in Teramer, but his parents were refugees of Kaduraas. Yet from a young age Krzysztof's family moved to Nemus of Niunas. In all cases the family was forced to flee persecution by the Republic for it was a family of active dissidents and freethinkers.
Luckily in Niunas the family was able to find peace at all. It was hard life but the family was resourceful and prepared and managed through despite the hostility of the city of Nemus.
When he came of age, Krzysztof became a guide for people (mostly other dissident refugees and smugglers) wanting to cross the bogs and marshes of Niunas. He was a successful guide for he was more perceptive than an average guide (death rate among guides of Niunas is very high). It also helped that Krzysztof didn't just rob his customers and dump them into the swampwaters never to be found again, like many other guides did. So his reputation, and his fees, increased. So much so that many customers outright refused to be guided by anyone but him. This did not please the other, murderous guides and their criminal associates. Krzysztof found out he has a bounty on his head. In Nemus it meant that basically every citizen of the city is actively wanting him dead. He fled the city without a moment's hesitation after surviving the first assassination attempt.
Only when Krzysztof reached Virrenul did he stopped noticing his pursuers. Still, just to be on the safe side he decided to cross the border into the First Province - somewhere will surely be safe for the bounty is not so high for his pursuers to go there for him. Besides, Krzysztof heard the First Province is fat with treasures of abandoned manors and tombs. For him it seemed like easy pickings. After all if he could navigate the marshes of Niunas, how bad can it be here?

Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:

Not being used to torment, which is rare in his home province of Niunas, Krzysztof was surprised to hear the famous First Province is under quarantine. So little was he updated on the news of the Republic. Having too few coins for a bribe Krzysztof just stood there thinking what to do. As luck would have it, the official turned his head to scratch his ear and Krzysztof could notice a small tattoo there - a swamp constrictor around a human skull - tattoo used by one of the powerful criminal clans of Nemus.
Casually asking the official about the tattoo's origins was enough for him to suddenly decide Krzysztof was essential for the reclamation of the First Province. Whether the official had a past in the criminal organization and left it behind or was deliberately instated here by the criminals for some reason, Krzysztof could only speculate as he walked through the gate into the Rumbling Pass with a visa given to him by the perimeter authority.

Congratulations, adventurer! Your application is...

Approved!

Please ensure that your character name is spelled correctly upon exiting the Songmaker's chambers. A GM will approve your character at their earliest convenience.

Welcome to Requiem!

Two years he had worked to get this post. To place himself just here in this exact place, in this exact time. His brothers would be coming through any day now, poor forgeries held loosely in their grip. Knowing eyes as they looked upon him and he, with those same eyes, would wave them through as he had done for many others. The coin that awaited him would make it worth all the trouble. He couldn't, wouldn't let this man mess things up now. On he goes, a problem that would deal with itself quickly within the First Province.
