CHARACTER
Name: Ilias Fabria
Info Page/App: app / shamefully unfinished info page
Who They Are: A tired workaholic death mage. Ilias is a devout member of the Mortalitasi order, collected, professional, and a low-key disaster in his personal life, but whatever, who needs a personal life when everyone you love is dead. Consider instead: more work. He's not a social butterfly, but he's usually the one tasked with talking grieving families through the whole Nevarran death ritual thing, so he's a good listener, and has that Will Graham esq capacity to be Fine with things other people might find upsetting. Like viscera!
Where They've Been: Nevarra City, mostly! He’s traveled some within Nevarra but not very much outside it, except maybe as a controversial guest lecturer or something. He spent the mage rebellion having a very contained breakdown and then went back to playing by the rules.
What They Want: To help restore the Veil and take care of spirits and keep himself busy enough to never have to think about his mistakes. His grandmother would like him to not get assassinated when Nevarra's succession crisis explodes.
Plot & CR Desires: I'm here for spooky death cult stuff and spirit nonsense and ambiguously conservative mage politics.
Anything Else: Bring me your necromancers. No really, I’m brewing us up a plot, so come here and let me touch all your faces while i try to figure out deets.

That all sounds faaaaaab.

I’ve said places that Kostos got harrowed earlier than normal and more as a prerequisite to Mortalitasi training than as a capstone, but I’m totes fine with that being unusual—it was more “this kid is potentially a timebomb and how the heck do spirit mediums even work, let’s make sure he isn’t going to embarrass us in this specific way before we get in too deep” than anything good, and he knew it, so he could have like quadruply resented Ilias later when people were starry eyed.

And in any case he never made it to full-fledged Mortalitasi so they wouldn’t have been seeing much of each other after Ilias left—I think real Mortalitasi actually live in the Necropolis? or immediately adjacent maybe? since Cassandra and her brother were raised by their uncle there... anyway your theory makes sense. But if you want a witness to some of Ilias’ bad decisions Kostos could have come on field trips as part of apprenticing and been like “oh wow I like you way better as a disaster,” and I’ve also said places that he didn’t really sleep with men until he went to Orlais, since Orlais is The Most Cool with it, but they could totally have made out, and then we could both have “in the a literal necropolis” as an answer for “what’s the weirdest place your character has made out with anyone” memes.

you were just waiting for that, weren't you

anyway: /stamp of approval, yes that all makes sense!! im glad we can conspire to win "weirdest makeout place" and lose IC "never have i ever" to some cruel soul.
