So much conflict brewing for so few Neph. Feeling like some righteous fury might have to be had.

The Leviathan (Treasure Planet Fandom Roleplay)

Valentin Kuznetsov

Role:
Engineer

Age:
30...something (He doesn't answer age questions)

Gender:
Male...presumably?

Race:
Human cyborg

Personality
Valentin has.. uh.. a few screws loose. Erratic to the extreme but generally well meaning if you're on his good side. The problem is knowing if you're on his good side. Those he respects, he mocks. Those he doesn't, he mocks and throws things at. He's antisocial and yet is more than willing to pop up and butt into conversations when he's least required. He values other's opinions about as much as a monkey with down syndrome and is more than happy to let others know this. Even so, most tend to deal with his antics simply for the fact that he can be amusing..and he keeps the ship flying.

Biography
Valentin's known backstory only really starts after Captain Lemaire commandeered The Leviathan and slaughtered the rest of the crew. He would have gone with them but it soon became apparent that the ship was so modified and jerry-rigged that there was no way in hell that it would fly without his efforts. Since then he has flown with his new captain, a somewhat functional relationship of grudging respect. She keeps him alive, fed and paid and he keeps her ship working.

Misc.
Never assume Val is out of wrenches. Val is never out of wrenches.

Does Valentin think Treasure Planet exists?
He's heard the stories, only vaguely interested him due to the mechanisation of the planet itself. The Captain thinks so and that's enough for him, so long as he gets to fuck with it when/if they arrive.

Relationships
Relationship with the Captain is pretty much as said in bio. Grudging respect, enough that he calls her captain and lets her think she runs the ship but not exactly best buddies. As for the rest of the crew, it's enough to say that he regularly calls them by different names seemingly unable to be bothered to remember their correct ones.

The neph would at the very least have to force the rev back to the wastes. It used to be kill on sight no exceptions but numbers are too thin to enforce that fully. But a Neph would definitely be trialled for allowing a rev to just go free.

History

The Past

Thorek was born son of Groumrick Soothammer. Each of the 3 main families had a member that was a child of the High King. To fit the portential role of high king and to be able to act in a political manner, Thorek grew up on the bureaucracy and lore as well as the histories and battle tactics of his people. He learnt diplomacy and leadership and dwarven etiquette and all manner of things but the thing that interested him most was engineering. As soon as his teachings allowed him to specialize, he dove deep into engineering studies, melding in artificing to create new technologies to further his people. This lead to many mishaps throughout his Career within the Engineering guild but no one could question his genius. His first feat as an Engineer was to rebuild and restore the massive pumping systems designed to keep the lower deeps of Volkungthad dry. They were destroyed during the last great war and the lower deeps had been abandoned by flooding through the underground rivers and lakes. Thorek was then recognized as a Master engineer in his own right, going on to vastly revolutionalise the armour of the dwarf warriors. The runes worked into their armour and shields along with the angling provided the dwarves with far more protection.

These advances came in handy when the Dwarves launched a counter assault on a pestilence-breeding necromancer tying to start their own kingdom after continued assault from the creature's minion. Thorek, as a son of the High King, joined the grudge war with his people as a Captain and it was in those bloody battles he gained recognition after Thorek's throng (ground of warriors) was split up by a savage ambush attack. Thorek was able to rally his troupes and regroup the stragglers, often having to fight his way through enemies to get to them before regaining the line and pushing back.

The Present

Thorek now devotes most of his life directly to the advancement of the dwarf kingdom through engineering and articing. He works endlessly in special built lab cross smith deep within the vaults on a project he believes will change the world. As much as he would care to spend the entirety of his existence buried in his research, the council politics is getting extreme. Already there are grumblings of guilds hiring mercenaries to disrupt and even murder members of the other guilds. Unfortunately nothing had been tracked yet and even if it had, the High King himself lay in his deathbed living the very last of his days. He constantly plays the mediator, trying to give a voice of reason to the more extreme of views as his brothers struggle for the political clout to declare themselves King.

Memories

Tracking down a ram when he was young and seeing who out of the group he was with could ride it the longest. for He won but not before being thrown into a particularly nasty bramble of thorned nettle that gave a rash he wouldn't live down for years.

His first Brew, which for dwarf standards was pretty terribly but Thorek was proud of it anyway, forcing himself to drink the barrel to prove it was good.

His first major lab accident resulting in shrapnel shredding his lower left side.

Also as for storylines, unless plots are interacting with each other at the time, people are free to keep their own pace and work out what's happened so far when storylines connect back up.

Important update

Over the course of today and tonight I'm going to update the drwaves and make a dwarf character. Is anyone opposed to them being heavily warhammer influenced? If you are, speak up so I may hit you with a broom.

Edit: Also, fucking "Lumao" @Jeyma

I come back to people plotting the demise of poor Carlisle, shame on you all. Trying to be diplomatic and shertul wastes the rest of his booze and now you plan to burn him.

As for the arch teleporty deal, most like he'd use the cloak to shield most of it and try throw an axe in Corra's general direction becauuse HES ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO BURN HIM ALIVE TODAY DAMNIT. Ahem. He'd prefer not to fight, I had actually planned him to try talk Sophia over to his side (in so far as postponing her trip into the wastes to hear him out without all your meddling influences) but if I fight does break out I agree that we should colab it. Fair warning though: I am the biggest pain to colab with, am not professional, and all caps commentary within the post before editing is unavoidable.
