Quest 3 - Lunula Follow Up
PLAYER NAME: Kerry
CHARACTER: Klaus Mikaelson
CANON: The Originals
FACTION: Moon
CURRENT TIER: 2
CURRENT LOCATION: Moon Temple
QUEST GENRE: Faction-focused, specific area of interest
QUEST TEAMMATES: Hayley Marshall
STRENGTHS: He has a well-earned reputation for violence, ruthlessness and cruelty in his own world. Klaus fears very little, and has significant physical strength and resilience to back up his attitude. He is intent on reaching his goals, stubborn to the point of obsessive - he never lets anything go, whether that's a grudge or a goal. Once he sets his mind to something, he's going to do it no matter who or what gets in his way. He demands loyalty from those around him, but he by and large gives it in return; he frequently cites 'Always and Forever' as the vow that binds his siblings to him, but it also binds him to them, and he never forgets that. Once Klaus is attached to someone, he'll always feel attached to them, even when they do things that would provoke him to kill anyone else. Despite his unforgiving nature, he does stay true to his family, perhaps in defiance of his own nature.
WEAKNESSES: He's impatient, highly paranoid, and has a short, hot temper that's often his own worst enemy. Vampires like Klaus feel emotions more keenly than humans, so these traits are heightened with him; a Klaus that is angry with someone will be unreasonable and vengeful, prone to taking harsh retribution that gets in the way of what he really wants. He's also very unforgiving, especially when he considers himself to have been betrayed. He demands absolute loyalty, but always expects betrayal because he finds it so hard to trust anyone. Those are emotional, personal weaknesses; however from another perspective, it might be said that his greatest weakness is his daughter Hope. He would do anything for her, making her the ideal lever for someone else to use against him.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Klaus' main general interest is in saving his family. He has an ongoing commitment to ensuring Hayley's safety, which to him means that his position here needs to be strong and secure.
He also has an interest in finding more of his kind, which has been a pervading motivation through most of Klaus' life. He already found vampires here, and he continues to care for and train his fledglings. They've been supportive to his faction's cause in the war, and have been helping Klaus to build his fortress, the Last Hope. His intention is for the fortress to become, essentially, a sanctuary for the monsters of the world - the vampires, the werewolves, and anyone else who might fit. As part of that general area of interest, Klaus would love to find werewolves that he could attempt to turn into hybrids, like him and Hayley. The Priestess has, through blessings, made it possible for him to do so, providing he can locate the wolves for it. If he could recruit hybrids for the Moon Temple, he believes he would be able to add a powerful weapon to the Priestess' arsenal. Hybrids are more powerful than ordinary vampires, have fewer weaknesses, and (in his own universe at least) were sired to him and thus unable to disobey him. If he could bring hybrids to the Temple, he thinks that he'd be killing two birds with one stone; he'd be satisfying a lifelong ambition of his own, while hopefully increasing his usefulness to his faction.
Last month, he and Hayley quested together, and sought out the village of Lunula, which had apparently been founded by werewolves. They found the village, but only met one resident there. Though it was claimed that the stories were rumours and nothing more, after they'd left they received a note saying that Lunula would be waiting for them. Klaus' interest remains; he still wants to tug on that thread.
LONG TERM CHARACTER GOALS: In the longer term, I want Klaus to be involved with leadership within his faction. That's where his own ambition always aims, and he's keen to prove himself worthy and useful to the Priestess. Klaus doesn't like to be on the losing side of any battle, and it grates with him that Stars were the victor when they attacked Moon's area. Then, when they competed for different ends in the baby god incident, no faction won completely - and yet Klaus sees it as another victory for Stars, since he believes the god would not have been born at all if one of their members hadn't made it possible. He still wants revenge, which means he wants to be at the forefront of what the faction might do to strike back. He wants to be not only an active participant, but a leader of the charge, and that's what I want to work towards.
YOUR TAGGING SPEED: Medium - fast at the moment! I would prioritise any thread with NPCs and aim to respond at least once per day.
OTHER NOTES: I mentioned above that the hybrids Klaus made in his own world were all sired to him. This means that they were mystically bound to obey his commands. Siring is something that happens in Klaus' universe when an individual has strong feelings towards the vampire whose blood turns them. In the case of the hybrids, it was because they were incredibly grateful that by becoming hybrids, they would no longer be forced to endure their painful wolf transformation on every full moon - they would transform only by choice. The sire bond was broken in canon when the hybrids forced themselves to endure the transformation enough times that they no longer feared it - at which point Klaus killed them for betraying them, because that's just who he is. He assumes that making hybrids here would produce a similar sire bond, but he may well be wrong about that! Whether it did or not would be up to you guys. At the moment, he assumes that it would be the case and that it would make any hybrids he created a far more reliable weapon for the Priestess than any vampire could ever be.
