FOGTOWN PERMISSIONS.


KOL MIKAELSON

ORIGINAL. You come anywhere near me, and I will give you a headache that will last a century.
OUT OF CHARACTER;
PLAYER: Jade.
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] bogans or jaded#0421
FORMATTING: Action and prose, but I'll match. Prefer action for phone tags.
BACKTAGGING: Y
THREADHOPPING: Y
FOURTHWALLING: N
IN CHARACTER;
NAME: Kol Mikaelson.
CANON: The Originals.
CANON POINT: 3x14.
AGE: 20-21. Literally over 1,000 years old.
HEIGHT: 6'1".
BUILD: Tall, athletic build. Carries himself quite confidently.

AFFECTION: Kol is a massive flirt who will charm a brick wall and have it blushing. When he's not busy playing a part, which might require him to hold hands and hug someone, he's not very physically affectionate. Kol has received ire more than affection throughout his long life and is quite guarded. If someone was to touch him, it would depend on the relationship and intention, but Kol would most likely reciprocate to some extent (thus "playing a part").

RELATIONSHIPS: At home, he's in a relationship with Davina Claire. I'm all good with flirtations and crushes because Kol's a huge flirt who thoroughly enjoys charming and flustering ladies and gents. For anything more than that, slowburn, baby! It's delicious, and Kol's got one thousand and one walls, insecurities, and baggage to get through that prevents him from Being Happy.

VIOLENCE: Ha. Kol is violence personified. I'm happy playing minor and major violence, although I am not okay with death being an immediate course of action without talking and plotting about it first (he has died… a lot for someone who is meant to be Super Powerful and Frightening. Thanks, Plec). Kol can hold his own quite impressively in a fight thanks to his supernatural strength and speed. He is a Viking, and his father was a Viking warrior who taught his sons to fight. Kol is quite proficient; he had the reputation of being the most deadly/unpredictable Original, and I'd like to think that extended to his fighting as well. (He has every reason to try to make himself stronger than his brothers, so why not?)

TELEPATHY: I'd rather have the option to opt into this solely for the fact that Kol's reaction would be quite negative. I definitely am interested in having his mind read as a player and want to know when I can give more detail in my tags for your character to work off of.

Empaths are totally free to pick up on what he's feeling! Let me know if your character is an empath and I'll pack more into my tags, but generally Kol is always angry (unless he's with Davina, then he feels at peace).

No mind control as I highly doubt it'd work. See my mental info below.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION: Kol is tall with a lean and athletic build, who bears no scars. He has short, dark hair and brown eyes, and looks like he's in his early twenties.

He carries himself with confidence, sometimes bordering on arrogance. He speaks with an English accent (although, like all accents on this show, it's Butchered, but we pretend it's not).

He likes to dress in dark colours, and often opts for jeans and a casual jacket. When he dresses up in a suit or tuxedo, he does look like a charming version of Elijah Mikaelson. (Suck on that, big bro!)

MENTAL INFORMATION: Kol has a temper, and his state of being an Original Vampire means that his emotions are extremely heightened; irritation will be amplified. Other than that, Kol's okay. He's angry, he's despondent, he's elated, he's cheeky. He teeters between being stable (when he's at his most human) and unstable (when he's at his most animalistic aka vampire).

Kol has "permanently" died in canon at least twice now, and upon his second resurrection, he has been hexed by the Ancestors to be tempted into giving into his more animalistic and aggressive urges to kill Davina Claire. This means that his heightened emotions are essentially on speed. This makes Kol unstable.

OPT OUT;
UNWANTED SCENARIOS:
I'm not keen on Kol being outed as an Original Vampire — or a vampire at all — since he's going to be playing that quite close to his chest. After the ordeal with the Ancestors in the Ancestral Realm back in New Orleans, where he was tortured for being a Mikaelson and a vampire, he's not too keen on shouting that unless he can work it to his advantage. Vampires may rule New Orleans, but they're often susceptible to the (deserved) ire of witches. Kol just wants a break. Plus, I want to have some fun with this.

NEGATIVE CR:
Kol is a charming person, and he often plays that part because people are pawns and people are useful until they stop being useful. (Flirting is fun and Kol enjoys having fun.) That said, I'm all for negative CR; Kol can easily generate it if he's arrogant or if it's simply something that naturally occurs. Note that he's incredibly petty, will hold a grudge for centuries, and uses violence as an answer for most things. He is a prankster who will get people back by putting them in situations that leave them being the loser.

If you fuck with anyone he's a Ride or Die for, you're going to experience the side of Kol that made the great and powerful Niklaus Mikaelson shit his pants. He's an overprotective mama cat.

VAMPIRE PERMISSIONS:
Kol is an Original Vampire, which means he's OP as fuck. He's also someone who would use his abilities and skillset to his advantage if he needs to.

Below is a brief list of the things that may affect your character and give us a good opportunity for some fun CR.

  • BLOOD DRINKING: As a vampire, Kol does need blood to survive. He does have shit bloodlust control (he was just resurrected before he came to Beacon and he's never in his life had to be in control of his bloodlust) and often drinks to drain to death. In game, he obviously won't do that.

    Kol can drink your character's blood because they're a willing donor or he can drink from them and compel them to forget. Please let me know if (1) you want him to simply drink and experience no bloodlust or if you're happy with him to really struggle with control (we'd obviously discuss the extent of the latter!) and (2) you want your character to be a willing donor (with work put behind CR) or unwilling and have Kol compel them to forget.

    Note: Kol can drink from vampires if he wants to. He's not his dad, though.

  • BLOOD HEALING: Kol's blood can heal any injury, no matter how severe (although if you're going to die, you might just… die). All you have to do is drink it and it'll heal. In game, this would obviously slow down as per the nerfing requirements. We can discuss how long that would take based on the severity of the injury as it'd be an interesting development for Kol.

  • VAMPIRE TURNING: If you die with his blood in your system, you turn into a vampire of his sire line. I'm not into this right now and I suspect it would work quite differently in game, but felt it was important to note.

  • MIND COMPULSION: All Kol has to do is make eye contact with you and he can easily tell you what to think, feel, say or do. What he can compel you to do can be something that happens after a certain event, a word or sound trigger, or in x amount of hours. He is an Original Vampire which means he can also compel vampires. He cannot compel witches in his canon, although I am happy to shift that around if witch characters would like to be affected.

    An important note about mind compulsion is that it's really difficult to break out of. Characters in canon have to be compelled by other vampires to remember (if the person who compelled them in the first place hasn't made it difficult to do that) or humans have to die and be turned into vampires. I'd like to talk about if the mind compulsion will ever be broken/intentions behind having Kol compel someone before we start!

    Given that he is an Original Vampire and has been doing this for a long ass time, I would think it safe to assume Kol is quite particular with what he says re: compelling someone and that it would be difficult to break out of his hold.

  • DREAM MANIPULATION: He can manipulate dreams or when you're unconscious. He'd need a good reason to want to manipulate your character's dream. Note that it's difficult to trace this back to him unless he's the only person your character has told that they hate bananas and suddenly they're dreaming about bananas for a week.


While Kol in canon will take what he wants and when he wants it; in game I'm playing him little more smart (as he would be) given the unnatural circumstances and in the hopes of generating some unique CR opportunities.

Let me know at any time if Kol can do any of the below in particular to your character. I don't really need detail but I am looking for an indication of yes/no.

We can hash out the details when CR opportunities come up! Kol can also offer other things outside of being a vampire, but those don't require permissions.

NOTES: Kol better be your fave.
