SURVEY
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUND? WHAT IS THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WEALTH?: Monetary and societal wealth are human constructs. That’s not to say Klaus does not value both, when and how they can serve him. He has acquired both throughout the centuries, whether it be through investments, compulsion, or outright taking what he wants. He is an affluent, well-known person in the circles he chooses, whether that be among human or supernatural communities. Of the two, power in supernatural spaces has more intrinsic value to him, as he is a supernatural being. As an Original and the first hybrid of his species, he is often the most hard-powered person in the room. He seeks not only belonging in those spaces, but control. His power is his wealth.
WHAT WOULD/DID YOUR CHARACTER MAJOR IN?: Klaus is an artist. He has studied and created art with some of the most influential minds of the last thousand years. If he has frequented educational spaces, and he likely has though perhaps not in the traditional sense, it has been in pursuit of a greater connection to and understanding of the arts.
WHAT IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR CHARACTER?: He has been undead for centuries and yet still managed to have a biological child. After lifting a curse that kept his werewolf side repressed, he was able to procreate, to everyone's (including his) surprise. His daughter's existence has also dramatically changed the trajectory of his life. He is learning to accept and give the unconditional love he was denied by his parents.
DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER USING ONE SONG FROM THE EARLY 2000S: “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes
NAME 1-3 VICES YOUR CHARACTER INDULGES IN: Mostly unrepentant murder with optional blood-drinking, maiming and torture, and drinking constantly.
WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S LIQUOR OF CHOICE?: Bourbon.
HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER LIKE THEIR EGGS?: Poached, with a Creole flair. Eggs Sardou.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD TO DRINK SOMEONE'S DIRTY BATHWATER, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?: It wouldn’t be his first inclination, but he is down bad enough for Caroline Forbes to drink some of hers. He wouldn’t even be that mad about it. There are other live interests in which he would, but at his canon point Caroline is the only one surviving.
