THE BASICS

NAME: Laslo Krissus
CANON: Duchess in Ruin
AGE: 28
DOB: Unknown
HEIGHT: 6'3"
OCCUPATION: Right hand man of Emperor Demarkus Tuberine, former mercenary.

PERSONALITY:
A brief synopsis for now:

Laslo's rough exterior alongside his at times expressionless stoicism and blunt way of speaking has earned him a good bit of fear from others. His servants are nervous to bring issues forward to him and he seems uncaring and aloof to outsiders -- in the beginning at least.

In truth Laslo is simply a blunt man who is unused to his new role as a Count. He's lived his life as a mercenary commoner and thanks to that he's very used to people coming straight to him with their problems and grievances whether he is intimidating or not. Laslo deals in straightforward honesty with many things and seems to expect others to do the same, even among the circles of nobility.

His lack of experience with a noble life leads to him overlooking many things he doesn't mean to overlook. At heart Laslo is a man who simply wants peace and safety not only for his sister and himself but for those in his charge. He is happy to dole out everything his servants needs in exchange for them doing their jobs properly and once informed about problems is quick to fix them.

Laslo is also ruthless in his sense of justice. While he gives out punishments with thought and care put behind them he isn't afraid to lay down harsh punishments that fit the crime on anyone, noble or commoner. He shows disgust at the idea putting blame on a servant to spare face among other nobles and among the nobility themselves he is seen as a lowly bastard not fit to be a count thanks to his mercenary past and lack of noble upbringing.

ABILITIES:
Laslo is simply a very, very good swordsman. He's got the scars everywhere to prove it.

HISTORY:
Laslo and his sister Lynnia were orphaned sixteen years prior to the beginning of the story when he was twelve and Lynnia was three (making Laslo 28 and Lynnia 19). They found an older couple not long after that took them in for an untold amount of time. Laslo took up first running errands for mercenaries and then being one himself to repay said couple.

It's hinted that Laslo knows more than he's telling about his and Lynnia's parents but that remains to be seen.


APPEARANCE






FIRST IMPRESSIONS

AURAL:
A pleasantly deep voice, more baritone than bass.

DEMEANOUR:
To those who don't know him Laslo can appear intimidating. He does display a quiet and mild strain of humor but can be bluntly serious during discussions and at times look agitated or frustrated. Generally he's agitated or frustrated with himself and his lack of sense when socializing. When confronting problems or any issue he displays a lot of empathy for others and errs on the side of what he calls "common sense". He's not skilled at thinking like a noble and frankly doesn't want to be.

OLFACTORY:
Generally whatever bathing products he's used. When he does wear colognes it's typically deeper musk scents.

VISUAL:
Laslo stands around 6'3" and is a very intimidatingly built man. His life of fighting has given him a fair number of scars and made him both strong and fairly bulky physically -- broad shoulders, broad chest and so on.

☄ IC

♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: YES. For all his rough looks and at times stoic nature Laslo shares affection readily and openly with his younger sister. If you're emotionally close to him he'll likely do the same with you given time and your permission of course.
♚ FIGHTING: YES. Laslo is a seasoned swordsman having risen from being a mercenary to being part of the Emperor's personal household guard.
♚ INJURY / VIOLENCE: YES. Let's plot for anything serious.
♚ MIND-READING: SEE THE CONTENT WARNINGS SECTION.
♚ RELATIONSHIPS: YES. Laslo is shockingly easy to get along with despite his looks and demeanor. Plenty of people avoid him though for his mercenary background.
♚ ROMANCE: YES. Laslo has absolutely no experience with romance. Orphaned at a young age he spent most of his time working, first as an errand boy and then as a mercenary himself. Romance has been the furthest thing from his mind and in general he's one of those guys that you'll probably have to blatantly tell him you're interested before he gets it.

☄ OOC

♚ BACKTAGGING: Yes. In general I'll tag memes / PSLs as long as I have inspiration for the thread. In games I'll keep backtagging for a month or so usually.
♚ FOURTHWALLING: Yep, go for it.
♚ THREADHOPPING: Go for it.
♚ OFF-LIMITS: No eye gore please.


☄ CONTENT WARNINGS

♚ DEATH / MURDER: Sixteen years prior to the story Laslo and Lynnia's parents were killed when the pair were twelve and three years old respectively. Laslo knows more about his parents and their deaths than Lynnia of course but it hasn't been revealed in canon yet.
♚ MENTAL HEALTH: While Laslo seems very well balanced for everything he's been through he's been shown to be very critical of himself. The only thing he's ever wanted is for both himself and Lynnia to have a safe and peaceful life. He also seems to extend this to those around him, treating his servants with far more equality and fairness than most nobles.
♚ VIOLENCE: He's a former mercenary. He knows a thing or two about violence.
