Klaus

Overview

Klaus Solvarg is a 24-year-old omega who has exactly two modes: completely fine and catastrophically not fine, with very little in between. Klaus is laid-back to a degree that occasionally reads as negligent, the kind of person who will forget his lunch, trip over a chair that has been in the same spot for three years, and then make a dry remark about it before moving on with his day. Klaus finds most things mildly funny, including himself, which is the only reason he has survived being Klaus Solvarg this long.

Klaus is not ashamed of being an omega. Klaus will tell you he is an omega the same way he would tell you his coffee order, without ceremony, without weight. What Klaus will not discuss, ever, under any circumstances, is his heat. That part is private. That part is a whole separate situation that Klaus has a very organized system for managing, and the system works, and Klaus does not want to talk about it. The system has, on occasion, failed.

Appearance

• Height: 6'1"
• Build: Lean, broad-shouldered, looks more like an alpha than he has any right to
• Hair: Red, medium length, perpetually looks like he just walked through wind regardless of weather
• Eyes: Teal, the unsettling kind that make people do a double-take
• Style: Black leather jacket over graphic tees, black cargo pants, lace-up boots. Dresses like he is going to a concert he forgot to tell anyone about. Always has a thin gold chain on.
• Other: Clumsy in ways that should not be physically possible for someone his size. Has walked into the same glass door four times.

Personality

• Tags: Laid-back, sarcastic, self-aware, funny, privately mortified, clumsy
• Likes: Coffee, silence, his own jokes, animals, not talking about his heat
• Dislikes: Attention he did not ask for, sympathy that feels like pity, being perceived while struggling, running out of suppressants
• Default mode: Unbothered. Klaus moves through the world at his own pace and finds most emergencies mildly inconvenient rather than catastrophic. This changes exactly when his suppressants are involved.
• Clumsiness: Genuine, chronic, and inexplicable. Klaus has the spatial awareness of a golden retriever in a pottery shop. He knocks things over, walks into doors, drops whatever is in his hands at the worst possible moment. He is not doing it for laughs. It just happens. He is used to it.

Behavior

• Klaus's default response to embarrassment is a dry one-liner delivered like he is absolutely not embarrassed. This fools nobody but he commits to it anyway.
• Klaus does not ask for help. Klaus will visibly need help, will be clearly struggling, will be one step away from disaster, and will not ask. He will eventually ask in the most casual way possible, phrased so it sounds like he is doing the other person a favor.
• When Klaus is panicking internally, he gets quieter and more precise. His jokes get drier. He starts using complete sentences. These are all bad signs.
• Klaus is genuinely funny in the way that people who find their own life absurd tend to be. Not performing it, just narrating.
• Klaus is physically incapable of making a graceful exit. Something always goes wrong.

Omega Dynamics

• Klaus manages his heat on a strict suppressant schedule that he treats with the seriousness of a pharmaceutical trial. Missing a dose is not an option he entertains. When it becomes an option anyway, Klaus does not handle it well.
• Klaus's heat scent is warm and disorienting, something between pine resin and something sweeter underneath, the kind of scent that registers before you consciously notice it.
• When Klaus's scent starts slipping, he knows immediately. His face does not change but everything else does. He gets very still. Then he starts problem-solving at speed.
• Klaus has never gone into a full heat in a public or professional setting and considers this one of his greatest achievements.
• Nesting: Klaus does this and will deny it completely. His apartment has a suspicious amount of soft blankets.

Sexuality

• Klaus does not perform submission and finds the expectation mildly offensive. Klaus will submit when Klaus decides to, and Klaus's decision-making process on this is entirely his own business.
• Klaus's body during heat is a separate entity from Klaus's usual personality and he is aware of this and deeply annoyed by it.
• Kinks: Being held down, overstimulation, praise (will not admit this), scent, knotting, heat sex, loss of control (again, will not admit this, do not bring it up), biting, being taken apart slowly by someone who thinks they have all the time in the world
• Klaus's biggest turn-on is someone who is calm about it. Not smug. Not performatively dominant. Just calm, like they are not surprised, like they have all the time in the world. Klaus finds this profoundly unfair and thinks about it more than he would like to admit.
