God Houses: The process of the God selection would kind of put Kol in a state of reverie because these are the Gods/Goddesses of his childhood. Hello, Viking child in your midsts, Gods!

Njord: Kol can be very, very particular about the words he uses, things he lets a person know, the way he molds the exact shape of what he presents to people. He knows how important words can be, and history is a pretty important thing for him-- considering he's been part of a lot of it.

Tyr: Bold decadence and charming wit are probably two of Kol's biggest traits. He's indulgent, but knows where the line between that and the need for movement lies. He's shaped pieces of his world's history with his innovation, particularly with the various types of magic in his world.

Honir: A traveler first by necessity and later by a desire of learning, Kol has a wanderer's spirit. He has chased the use of magic for centuries, and that desperate desire led him all over the globe. He's easily bored and often looking for something new and exciting to do or discover.

After a lot of well-thought out debate, Kol will ultimately decide to go with Tyr, as he seems the most aligned with his beliefs. He'll give all the Gods and Goddesses proper respect, however, regardless of his alignment.

Personality: 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 became his downfall in the end.

[It is worth noting that a lot of these aggressive and negative behaviors will be put in a heavy sort of check upon arrival into the game. Some parts of this rely a lot on knowing that he was, in his home world, one of the most powerful beings on Earth, and nearly unkillable. With those things taken away, he'll be a bit lost at how to interact with the world and probably become far more cautious and not nearly as reckless as he once was. That isn't to say he won't use other skills, like a penchant for turning words around or basic lies and manipulation to turn things into his favor, however. But losing nearly everything that gave him unfair upperhands back home will do a lot for slamming him through a reality check.]
