SOMETHING WICKED

"I have led a toothless life, he thought. A toothless life. I have never bitten into anything. I was waiting. I was reserving myself for later on—and I have just noticed that my teeth have gone."

rules

This is a side blog! I can’t send asks, reply, follow back, etc. from here. My main blog is ofvergen, so all of that will be coming from there. If you’re only interested in RP with Oles, don’t feel forced to follow Saskia’s blog as well!

The rules are largely the same on all my blogs, so in order to avoid confusion and needless effort on my side, I have only one version HERE. Please do take the time to read them.

NOTE: The headcanons and lore surrounding werewolves in my portrayal of Oles are quite different from what's considered canon in the games or books. It's my own work and while I don't take lightly to my ideas being used without permission, I'm always thrilled to discuss how all this can be incorporated in other people's muses' stories. All you have to do is ask! That said, my take on werewolves can absolutely co-exist with any other interpretations.

⇝ BIOGRAPHY ⇜

UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

Oleksander's parents were part of a small Scoia’tael commando in Redania, his mother, Alisia, being a healer and his father, Estek, a scout. He was nearly a year old when they were both killed in battle, leaving him orphaned. Edyta, his mother’s closest friend and also healer for the same commando at the time, decided to abandon the Scoia’tael ranks so she could raise Oles safely. And she did, though Oles thinks of her more as an aunt than mother, which she doesn’t mind because she’s always been open and honest about who his parents were and where he came from.

He works as an apothecary and nurse at Shani’s clinic in Oxenfurt, although he’s more interested in research than the hands-on practice of medicine. He also provides local Scoia’tael commandos with medical and alchemical supplies, and he does so of his own accord and without asking for anything in return, although he keeps it a secret from almost everyone.

At some point, he accidentally cursed himself with lycanthropy while studying some ancient tomes of dubious origin. He’s been dealing with it well for the most part and pretty much postponed finding a permanent solution for years because “well, that’s a problem for another day.”

His hobbies include reading and scientific research in general. He’s more interested in alchemy than battlefield medicine (which Shani does a lot of, and whenever she’s out in the field, he begrudgingly manages the clinic for her.) At first, his interest in alchemy was a mere scholarly curiosity, but after becoming a werewolf, he zeroes in on finding a cure for himself despite the generally accepted belief that it can’t be achieved through alchemy alone. He also spends a fair amount of time exploring ruins and old, forgotten places (it’s how he came across the cursed scrolls that brought lycanthropy on him.)

Though he manages to keep up the appearance of Cool and Collected, he’s actually a recluse and a nervous wreck, ultimately well-intentioned but rather insolent and short-tempered, with no people skills whatsoever and no patience for nonsense. Most people see him as a bore and a stick-in-the-mud, which is something he cherishes and actively preserves, especially after becoming a werewolf.
