Personality
Overall
Kol has a certain youthful and nearly playful attitude most of the time, with a much darker twist. He has a sarcastic sense of humor and often patronizes his siblings with his cheeky snark and contempt. He is not the most stable sort of person, very unpredictable with bouts of rather erratic behaviors. He isn't one for rules, they are only made to be broken as far as he is concerned. Kol's emotions are extremely fluid and one can fade directly into another in mere moments and without so much as a simple warning.

He has a great sense of pride for who and what he is. He is an Original and that means he is above the rest, he is a force to be reckoned with and someone to be feared. He has an unending loyalty towards his family. Like most of the other siblings, despite their extremely dysfunctional and tense relationships, there is absolutely nothing that Kol would consider off limits if it meant keeping his family safe and together.

Despite their forever-strained relationships, Kol's loyalties will always lie with his siblings. He is closest to his baby sister, Rebekah, she is the one that he feels understands him more than any of his brothers. She is the one he opens up to easiest about things and many times over the years he actually tried to get her to leave with him, but to no avail. He finds Elijah occasionally dull (though nowhere near as much as Finn!) and believes he should loosen up and have some fun and often mocks him for being stuffy and boring. And then there is Klaus. The sibling at the root of all of their dysfunction, as far as Kol is concerned. If not for Nik, the rest of them probably could have had happier lives filled with much less tension and heartache--and less decades-long naps to boot. There is a part of him that always hated his half-brother, if nothing else for the fact that he alone took the shine of brutality in the family and, well, Kol wanted a name made in his own right, not simply by being associated with and overshadowed by the terror of his brother.

Kol, like all of his siblings, possesses a great acting ability and can play nice and respectable when needed, especially to get something he wants. One need not to forget how aggressive that occasionally respectable man can get, however. He is menacing and at times unreasonable and it is not suggested to get on his bad side because it will not end well.

Condescending and arrogant, Kol truly does believe he is of a higher class than those around him, often his family members being the only ones who can stand on the same level as himself. He's an argumentative sort and as such his mouth is likely to land him in some trouble and he has a knack for troublemaking and stirring the pot. He is the decadent sibling, focused on fun and pleasure, unfortunately for some, his tastes stray on the murderous side of things.

Romantic endeavours have never been a concern for him. He sleeps with anyone he pleases and rarely with the same person for any significant period of time. He has often mocked Rebekah's own desperate need for love because he does not really see the need for it. He has never held anything that could be considered a real relationship in all his years on Earth. Whether it be because of an inability to love, or simply not finding the right person to strike his interest is up for debate.

Despite this unpredictability that seems to define him, Kol can be very patient and methodical when he needs to be. He is cold and calculating, always trying to stay a few steps ahead, plan his next move and consider all of the different angles that could lead to a need to change his game. Once he has made up his mind, Kol is a very persistent sort and does not easily give up on a goal. However that same persistence that often gave him the upper-hand ended up being his downfall in the end.

CR AU Changes
Kol is still largely the same person he's always been--loud, brash, a bit obnoxious and usually erring on the fun and pleasurable sides of life. But there have been things in his time in Lawrence that have really changed him and shook up his view of things.

First and foremost, it should be mentioned that while he is mostly just about as violent as he's always been, he's learned to channel it a bit more into ways that are more helpful to a cause. He went on hunts against monsters with no chance of redemption in the last world he was in, fueled the rage and thrill for the kill into that rather than slaying innocents for fun. This is probably one of the biggest and most significant changes he's gone through.

In Lawrence, Kol had chances he never had before with the sorts of people he'd never met before. People who had seen bigger and badder, people who had saved the world from types like he and his family. He had chances with people who didn't judge him for past actions, or things other people from back home told them, rather they judged on their own terms and personal interactions with him. Having people around who didn't fear him, that would stand their ground against him, and who saw something not just purely monstrous in him gave him pause and helped him make friends, true friends who cared for him and weren't afraid to call him out when he was out of line.

People giving him the chance to be his own person, to not be seen as just another Mikaelson or as Nik's brother lead him to seeking out more of an understanding of the way people, these good and honest people giving him chances they didn't have to grant him, look at the world. He sought out opinions and thoughts on why they chose the way they did, the right path, the right choice, the good and honest way. He had several genuine conversations out of it and, while it hasn't completely changed his world view and he still holds to a lot of things most wouldn't agree to, it all gave him a new perspective, a new appreciation for the idea of humanity and might have even connected him to his own a bit more

One other huge change in his time in Kansas is, he's found that he is, in fact, capable of the romantic sort of love. He found it in both a demon and an angel, and it hit him over the head out of nowhere. He's still largely awkward with the whole ideal of it, finding his footing in these feelings he'd never truly experienced before

Overall, he's still the same guy he's always been. But he has gained some interesting perspectives that have helped him slowly ease into the person he is now.

CR AU History: [insanejournal.com profile] wariscoming – June 2013—July 2014

Game Premise
The game was centered in Lawrence, Kansas, set within the Supernatural universe. Sam Winchester made a massive mistake when he completed all of the tasks previously thought meant to stop the Apocalypse. Instead, he released Lucifer from his Cage and set the end of days into motion. During the breaking of one of the Seals, a rip in space and time was created and the broken Seal started dragging people from other universes into Lawrence.

The Apocalypse was coming and the best guess as to why people were pulled from other worlds was simple: They were meant to help stop it from happening. The thought was that if they stopped it, everyone would be sent home, purpose complete. There were many trying events created by magic, such as people turning into animals or power sets being flipped, only being able to speak in rhymes or select groups of people being sent to other worlds in the multiverse temporarily, and many other unthinkable sorts of things.

Along with these, there were the demons and other various monsters plaguing the world that needed hunting and killing. There were moral quandaries in every direction, sometimes the Seal allowed less than savory people through and they had mass murderers and the like to deal with on top of keeping on track with ending the Apocalypse.

People set into their lives and tried to live as normally as possible, despite everything. Some people managed to make friendships, even families during their time there. Others chose to isolate themselves for risk of being hurt if the Seal took their loved ones away. Slice-of-life meets the Apocalypse. Welcome to Lawrence.

Game History
Kol arrives in Lawrence shortly after his death in a whole hell of a lot of confusion because this does not look even a little bit like The Other Side. And he's pretty sure he's alive and is not at all sure how that happened, considering the flaming glory he went out in moments before. Soon after, he finds familiar faces—his siblings are here, the day is saved! Sort of.

Shortly after settling in, he has a run-in with Vicki Donovan and Jeremy Gilbert. This goes about as well as can be expected. He kind of takes a bit of a liking to Vicki, but when Jeremy waltzes up it kind of sours his mood. There's a lot of blaming going on because Jeremy was part of the Gilbert-kids tag-team that did him in, and Jeremy hasn't lived that and feels it's unfair to be judged for future actions he hasn't actually committed.

Kol finds out Vicki has no control when she has an almost-accident during one of Bobby Singer's hunter's camp sessions. He talks to her brother Matt about how best to help her and handle this. Despite some initial wariness, Matt agrees and Kol takes Vicki under his wing and helps teach her control of her still too-new vampire abilities. His methods aren't conventional, but it works.

Eventually seeking out advice from people about his family and their many dramas, Kol ends up with a few rather unlikely friendships. First, Rose Tyler, who happens to be the very first person outside of his family that he opened up to about anything serious. She became a sort of rock and foundation in his support group. Next, Lois Lane (Smallville style), became another quick and fast confidant for him. These two women, who knew the vague broad strokes of all that he'd done, still gave him the chance to begin building himself into a better version of who he was, and they kind of formed the foundation of a lot of the way things changed for him later.

In the early days of September, now 3 months into his new and ever-changing, ever-dramatic life in Lawrence, Kol poses a question to the masses of the displaced: Why are some people vilified for bad, future actions they have yet to commit, while others are given a free pass? This naturally leads to a lot of arguments breaking out, but it also created several conversations for Kol to truly consider. Including one in particular with Robin Hood, who actually managed to shed some light on how sometimes, people just have to accept things as they are, even when they don't make sense or they are unfair.

Around the end of the month, Kol is possessed by a demon. A demon puppeting an Original went down about as well as could be expected. He ruined all of the work that Kol and Vicki had done to get her on a good track, tortured an innocent vampire for grins and giggles, and generally tried to wreck every single relationship Kol had built in his short time here. Kol is trapped inside his own head with no way out and has to watch while friends and family members alike are fooled into believing he's the one behind the words being said and actions taking place.

When the demon goes on the run, it takes almost a week before Rebekah catches up and exorcises it, sending it straight back to hell. However, a complication arises when, on the way out, the demon flips the switch on Kol's emotions and he spends another week or so outside of his usual self where he continues to wreck his personal relationships and brags a lot to Crowley, who the vampire has been sort of in an bit of an on-going fling with for a few weeks, about his skills in the bedroom.

Eventually, Lexi, the psychotic vampire whisperer, manages to strike a nerve and get Kol to feel something and eventually turn his emotions back on. This is what she does, she's good at helping people come back from their time off the rails and get back to who they really are.

Mid-way through October, an attack is launched on the main apartment complex occupied by most of the displaced and several other important buildings around the city. Caroline Forbes, the girl that brother Klaus has taken such a liking to and is dating and who happens to mostly be adopted by the family now, is killed in the explosion. Nik handles it really horribly, as expected. A few days later, Kol is the one that finds Caroline when she returns, thanks to magic from the Seal. He also discusses some family drama with Crowley, who he's recently started seeing in a pretty casual way.

November spells trouble when Crowley ends up in over his head with Lucifer and Kol has a lot of emotions about it. The pair of them escape to a hotel for some quality time and end up having a pretty deep and serious conversation that reveals the very beginnings of something a little bit more like a relationship than a fling, even if neither of them are anywhere near close to admitting it.

Everything that the community of the displaced and locals involved as a whole have been working and building toward finally comes to a head, December brings the Apocalypse along with it and everyone has to play their part. Kol spends time with Crowley in the aftermath of the hardest, most brutal battle anyone could have fought. With Rebekah, and several others, lost to the Cage in the final moments, the remaining displaced are left to regroup and begin repairs on the city at large, while Crowley and a handful of others work on finding a way to hopefully open the Cage and retrieve the fallen, without also releasing Lucifer and Michael all over again and making all their efforts be for nothing

In the end, with some rather tricky and detailed spell work, the trapped are released from the Cage and reunions happen all around. Their time in the place was brutal, and equivalent of the levels of hell detailed out in Dante's Inferno, living in constant loops of terror and pain and hunger and rage. The toll on those involved is harsh, and the oncoming weeks and months thereafter are hard, particularly for Rebekah, who in addition to the mental and emotional pain and detachment, is also having trouble feeding as a result.

Early January brings a long since-lost, but never forgotten little brother to the Mikaelsons, which does at least, tend to help bring the siblings closer. At least for awhile, and for his sake. Mid-way through the month, still reeling from recently managing the gaining back of Cage victims—and rather successfully, thanks—and all that had come with it, including keeping Ruby calm and a temporarily emotionless Rebekah, Crowley gives Kol a gift. His bones, and his true name. And it's all in the name of safe-keeping and ensuring no one can get utterly rid of him now that Crowley's taking on being King of Hell. But it also is a weirdly huge step in their relationship, in the trust they have built into each other by now.

February brings a need for a very specific brand of advice that only Rebekah can offer, and quickly leads to a vampire and a demon admitting things to each other in terms they've never spoken of before. That dreaded, feared, never-whispered L-word exists between them now. And will promptly be rarely ever used again because what is normal, anyway? Later in the month, Ruby's attitude over the open discussion of contingency plans against the Mikaelsons—and, admittedly also others deemed in any form dangerous, but those are details too deep for a brief summary—and chats with Elijah a bit about it, among other things.

After an odd, Seal-wibble of magic in March that turned most of his siblings into the much smaller, much more human, much more adorable and sweetest versions of themselves while Kol was suddenly the oldest, he goes off to think for a bit. Muse over things that were said to him by the tiny versions of his siblings. And Nik just happens to find him and they have an honest-to-God, great, brotherly moment for the first time in a very long while.

April brought with it a lot of drama, in the arrival of Marcel Gerard, Kol's mostly-nephew and one of the more important of Nik's sires, as well as Anna Milton, the angel that Crowley had once had a thing with.

The news of Marcel's arrival was met with a lot more joy than other things, but as with all levels of Mikaelson situation, there was a bit of drama. Mostly in form of Kol realizing that in the future, none of his siblings had spoken word of his death to Marcel. He chats with Caroline about it, because going over it with family would only lead to more hurt than was necessary, given none of them were from the proper point in the timeline to actually give reason to their actions.

Somewhere between all the drama that Anna had brought with her—panic that Crowley would leave him, jealousy of what he knows was once between the angel and the demon, the paranoid thought that maybe Anna would steal him away somehow—she and Kol manage a rather perfect moment, which sort of changes everything for all three of them.

When Elijah makes the decision to marry Katherine, much to all of his family's annoyance and warnings of how bad of a life decision this will clearly turn out to be, Kol makes a point to her, just to make sure she knows what will befall her if she hurts his brother. Again.

Summer of 2014, a good several months out from the Apocalypse and the Cage, and things are still rather hard on Rebekah. She feels too much, was hurt too hard by her time trapped in the Cage—all just to save Nik, what a waste, he's done nothing but make her regret it ever since, though she'd never change a thing about her actions if given the chance at a do-over—and ultimately is still having a lot of issues feeding. Kol tries to give her the space she needs, but when she calls, he's always there, for any distracting or comforting that he can offer. When he catches a bit of time to himself, Kol just sort of has to take a bit of time to sort his head.

All of Rebekah's issues, added with plenty of other family issues in all directions—Rebekah's marriage to Stefan Salvatore, Elijah's engagement to Katherine, Nik's entire lack of grace at accepting that Rebekah sacrificed herself for him at the Cage, a plan conceived by Jacen Solo to help the family see things from each other's eyes that includes a lot of loss of agency which was met with a lot of wariness—Kol decides to try and move things along. Find a way to fix it, or at least get on the track to it.

His attempt utterly backfires, quite epically and ends in Klaus ultimately deciding to disown the lot of them, save Henrik. Kol doesn't handle it well at all because he's done nothing in his time in Lawrence but try to fix things and make a better go of things with his family this time in this place where they had the chance to be more than what they ever were back home. And every time, it's been thrown in his face and burned to the ground. This particular instance was just a last straw that, while everyone may have expected on some level, no one ever saw as something that would ever truly come to light. And now that it has...a family is broken. Utterly, heartbreakingly broken, with no sign of possible repair in the future.

And this is where the new chapter of his life will begin.

Skills+Abilities
Skills
Kol is a fairly adaptable person, so once his initial shock is out of his system, he'll be able to buckle down and be as useful as he can in the situation. He has a bit more of an understanding about the idea of a community of people coming together for each other now, though it was rare that community he came from before came together for he and his, and he might be willing to lend a hand to certain people, but certainly not everyone across the board because he's still selfish and largely self-serving most of the time.

He is pretty handy at repurposing things in different ways than their intended use, although admittedly he's a bit better at the magical version of this than the more practical side of it, but he'll manage well enough, anyway. On that note, he also has a wide knowledge base of magic and the supernatural, both from his own world and others that melded together in his last universe, though that will quickly not be relevant at all in this setting.

Being originally from an age when things were done in such a way, he won't have much issue in the food gathering and hunting ways of life, aside from the obvious scarcity of resources. Ability-wise, he'll be fine. Kol also knows plenty of self-defense and sword techniques, which he might be able to share with others.

CR Notes
Important [insanejournal.com profile] wariscoming CR of Note
BBC!Robin Hood

Robin Hood: The pair of them butted heads, often, but some of their more moral-related arguments really played a part in the new way Kol looks at things.

Marian: He didn't know her very well, or interact with her even as much as he did with Robin, but she did offer him some advice that played a part in some of the growth Kol has gone through.

Being Human

Alex Millar: Close friend, occasional confidant, drinking buddy. Used to be a ghost, but managed to become human again through specific game mechanics.

Hal Yorke: They sort of had a bit of rough relationship. Hal hated the Mikaelson's arrogance and he let it be said in no uncertain terms. These comments often resulted in arguments.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Buffy Summers: He's met a few variations, but one version in particular really stuck him good when she opened up a declaration of war on all vampires, despite having no real reason to do so. He doesn't like her, plain and simple, the one in particular has always left a sour taste in his mouth and he won't be too likely to give a new one much of a chance.

Doctor Who

Rose Tyler: First person outside of his family that he talked to on a deep level. Became one of his closest friends and confidants.

Harry Potter

Lily Luna Potter: Friend and constant ray of sunshine and stream of optimism in Kol's life. Their friendship was one that didn't make the least bit of sense, but managed to work perfectly. Opposites attract, and maybe she just brought out a marginally better part of him from time to time.

Les Misérables

Gavroche Thénardier: Friend, a child that fell under his protection. He found Gavroche when he first arrived and reunited him with the family he had in the city.

Signs

Bo Hess: Friend and another child he kept a rather protective eye on. The girl had more people in her corner in that city than just about anyone.

Smallville

Lois Lane (Smallville): Another of the first outside of family that he confided in, regularly and often.

Star Wars Legends/Star Wars: Expanded Universe

Tahiri Veila: Friendly acquaintance who seemed to understand how hard it was to be so easily vilified, and gave Kol advice on a few occasions. He sort of had a bit of respect for her, because she didn't coddle him but also never judged him for no reason.

Jacen Solo: Vaguely friendly acquaintance who refused to coddle any of the Mikaelsons, but did help Kol attempt to find a solution to family drama. Also was the general, so to speak, of the team he was on during the Apocalypse.

Supernatural

Ruby (2.0) Winchester: He started out on largely friendly terms with her, but in the end, she threatened his family multiple times and it was all fighting, all the time.

Castiel: An Angel he only just tolerated because he was one of his lovers' brothers, for the most part. The pair of them argued quite regularly and Kol has never thought very highly of him.

Crowley: Fling turned lover, and the importance of whom can not really be put in words. In a relationship with Kol and Anna Milton.

Anna Milton: First an almost-enemy, the ex of his demon-turned-King- of-Hell lover, but eventually she too became a lover with so very many complications. In a relationship with Kol and Crowley.

The Vampire Diaries/The Originals

Elijah Mikaelson: Though Elijah's pandering to Nik could be a big point of contention between them, Kol had a close relationship with Elijah in Lawrence. He sees him as essentially a father-figure type and hates the idea of disappointing him. Watching horribly done movies like Sharknado became a bonding time experience for them. Engaged to Katherine Pierce.

Niklaus Mikaelson: Kol's relationship with Nik is probably the most complicated. When they got along, it was really great, but those moments seemed few and fleeting. They are a lot alike and clash, hard and often. Kol holds a certain level of deeply buried guilt about Nik's decision to walk away, an action which has left Kol incredibly angry and bitter toward his older brother.

Rebekah Mikaelson: His most frequent confidant and the sibling Kol is absolutely closest to. They even jokingly/affectionately refer to each other as their twin.

Henrik Mikaelson: Kol, like all of the siblings, was very protective of Henrik. He tried for the most part to keep things light with him, and let him just be a kid. Henrik was wise for his age, and if he wanted to discuss things, Kol never turned him down or spoke to him as a child.

Caroline Forbes: Dated his brother, Niklaus, and eventually became a close friend and adoptive little sister-type.

Lexi Branson: A sire of his brother, Elijah's, she became a friend and helped him come back to himself when a demon flipped his emotion switch off.

Damon Salvatore: Sort of a bit of a frenemy. They get along when they're drinking, but it was pretty easy for things to devolve into arguments at any given time.

Stefan Salvatore: He liked Stefan, sort of. Eventually he came to tolerate him because of Rebekah and somewhere along with way, they actually became almost friends. Married to Rebekah.

Elena Gilbert: Basically a giant thorn in Kol's side because somehow everyone decided that his threat/promise to come for her if she tried to hurt his family meant he would kill her on sight, despite his year-long following of the no senseless killing truce. She also played a hand in his death back home. He won't be nice to her at all.

Jeremy Gilbert: Largely the reason he's dead back home and an annoying, whiny brat in Kol's experience in Lawrence. Often threw the Mikaelson's under the bus and was a main proponent of a contingency plan against the Mikaelson's involving them in boxes filled with cement and thrown to the bottom of the ocean, which foolishly came to light to the family. Safe to say, Kol hates him.

Rosemarie: Friends, occasional confidant. Headcanons with that player: The pair knew each other rather intimately in 1492, but hadn't spoken since until Lawrence.

Marcel Gerard: More family that's not officially family. Kol's nephew, whom he hadn't seen in many, many years before he showed up in Lawrence. Things were a bit rocky, but that's just the way with their lot.

Vicki Donovan: First person he actually showed any decency to and genuinely helped, for no reason, and no gain. He trained her, where Damon never did, and helped her find control with her newfound vampirism.
