[QUOTE="Kafkonia, post: 2966260, member: 40261"] [SBLOCK] K's father worked in the insurance business, and his grandfather before that. It's possible at some point the family was related to the Konietzkos who own the company, but if they were it doesn't matter any more. For some people, "insurance" is synonymous with "protection". Certainly, there are some unscrupulous businessmen who use unsavoury methods to secure and keep their customers. But K isn't one of them. Indeed, K has no idea that such people even exist; he knows only what he learns from the reports he handles every day. He only recently moved out of his parents' house, and still keeps in touch with them by writing letters every day. He has a love-hate relationship with both his father, who (K believes) thinks he will always be a disappointment, and his mother, whom he both resents for being dominated by his father and adores for serving as a buffer between them. The task he has been given is written on a note in an envelope sealed with wax and imprinted with the Commissioner's seal. He has been given strict instructions that the envelope is not to be opened until he has reached his destination, at which time it can be witnessed by a representative of the client in question. The repercussions for failling to follow these instructions have not been detailed; it is inconceivable that he should fail. In game terms, K will have fairly level stats, slightly higher in mental scores than physical (think 12s and 14s.) Skill points will go to Profession and Knowledge skills, Gather Information, and the like. I see him as something of a non-roguish rogue. Probably Lawful Neutral, since his life is regimented and he's never been in a position to choose between good or evil.[/SBLOCK] [/QUOTE]
