I still don't have much to do for a while, so when I feel like fooling around, I'll do something for another mod. I don't want to go into depths as I do with Rhonwyn, so probably I'll finish him in one or two more days, he's something like a 1 day NPC (or 2-3 days NPC, to be more exact). Or he can become something more, maybe, in time, I don't know yet.
And what about him? Who's Kastor?
The "technical" part:
Name: Kastor Reghir
Gender: Male
Race: Half-elf
Age: 24
Class: Thief
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Found at: Copper Coronet, near the rear entrance (this is likely to change, that place is crowded already)
After being kicked out: Temple District, in front of the Temple of Talos
Stats:
Strength: 11
Dexterity: 17
Constitution: 13
Intelligence: 15
Wisdom: 9
Charisma: 9
The story part:
Kastor is the offspring of a human witch, burned alive very soon after his birth, and an elven nobleman, who was hanged for a "failed coup against some king". Or at least, this is what Kastor says, when anybody asks about his past, but he also mentions, that "mom" used to tell him a story about how she met "dad" the first (and last) time, when Kastor was around the age of ten... He adds a few notes about Cormyr and its capitol, a small hint, that he may actually be Suzailan.
When you meet him, it becomes quite clear very soon, that he's a crazy guy, and you can't take anything he says too seriously. He does what he wants to do and when he wants to do, rarely caring about consequences. Pouring a bucket of pink paint on your head, asking people for a few coins, speaking about the aesthetical value of sleeping on the streets with our faces down in a puddle, or asking a woman to be his fifth wife on their first meeting... it's all the same for him.
About wives. Kastor has a "habit" of marrying different kinds of women, though they all have something in common... they were all drunken when they met Kastor, who was not very sober either. (Female PCs watch out! Be careful with drinking!
) Actually, he admits, that he really is a poligamist, who has three wives at the moment. Unfortunetely, the fourth one died, but he immediately adds, that he didn't kill her. With a wicked smile. Before accusation.Kastor arrives to the city of Athkatla exactly when the PC does. He's good at crafting traps, he mentions that he used to make a living by selling traps to rich people, so they could protect their home.
He doesn't have any objection to hurt or kill people, but he will not force the demise of anyone either. He's just too ignorant to really care about others or morality, though he won't commit anything hienous. Kastor is silly, but not stupid. He may be retarded and perhaps a bit hyperactive sometimes, but he's not brainless at all.
Kastor tends to annoy some people, especially with his retarded jests. He's also quite a pig when women are around, though he rarely wants anything from them for real. Unless he's drunken. Of course, you can't help feeling that they don't want him anyway. He is a pain on the backside for a few NPCs, others can handle him easily.
Kastor has a soft spot for many strange things, like teddy bears, toy ducks and other weird stuff... well, weird for a 24 years old man at least. One of his quickslots will be occupied by Brummi, the teddy bear.
The mod will contain:
-1 retarded quest
-Many banters with other NPCs, mostly aiming to tire them to death
-4-5 "marriage talks" - of course, you can't expect a frivolous person to have a meaningful romance, but if your PC is female, has at least a Charisma score of 10 and she gets drunken in a pub, Kastor will give it a try
