Mental characteristics

Personal history

Being the only son of Gregori Maldovan's oldest daughter, Uljana Maldovan, Kostja was at one point considered as an heir of the The Maldovan Clan, but was put aside as it was decided that it was better to go with the traditional ideal of having a female leader.   This suited Kostja perfectly, as he had no intention of taking over the family business, something he knew from a very young age. He felt out of place around his family members and longed to be free of the burdens they put on him. He wanted to write stories and poetry, not bury his nose in old, dusty ledgers filled to the brim with numbers.   He is still unmarried and his family's attempts to marry him off to some noble lady have all failed miserably, since Kostja refuses to show interest in anyone presented to him.   Comes across as snobbish and cold towards people he doesn't know, but is in fact just a quiet, somewhat shy, person. Socially awkward.

Gender Identity

Cis male.

Sexuality

Unsure.

Education

Went to the University of Rosemoor in Rosemoor, where he studied economics to better help his family with their business. He found it incredibly boring, but fulfilled his duty.

Employment

Spent most of his young adult life working for his grandfather, Gregori Maldovan, tending to the ledgers and books of accounting for the The Maldovan Clan.   He's currently writing short stories and poetry under a pen name.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Kostja hasn't achieved much in life, yet, and that frustrates him. Not to mention his family, who expects a lot more from him.   Biggest personal achievement is having released a rather large volume of written poetry, which happened to sell well.

Intellectual Characteristics

Linguistic bookworm.

Taboos

He feels uncomfortable around other men, sometimes. He dislikes being touched.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Wishes nothing more than to be free from The Maldovan Clan. Longs for the freedom to choose his own fate.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Very good at writing, but terrible at taking care of himself. If it wasn't for his staff working for him, he'd be a mess. And so would his house.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves strawberry tea, reading books and writing. Dislikes being around most of his family, save for Katja Maldovan, Feli Maldovan and Levin Maldovan. Absolutely hates his grandfather, Gregori Maldovan.

Virtues & Personality perks

Righteous, just.

Vices & Personality flaws

Impatient, easily angered, sullen.

Personality Quirks

Frowns a lot of the time and ends up scaring people away.

Hygiene

Immaculately clean, always. Has big issues with being outdoors in bad weather.

Social

Social Aptitude

Sullen, silent and not very friendly towards those he doesn't know. Has taken courses in rhetoric and can use it to his advantage if he wants to, but he rarely ever does. He dislikes talking to other people, unless they're his friends in some way.   His self-confidence exists, yes, but crumbles easily. He hides this by acting coldly towards other people, purposefully scaring them away before he can get hurt by them.

Hobbies & Pets

Is a major bookworm and has a pretty big library. Within it, he holds a large collection of books, novels and poetry collections.

Wealth & Financial state

Incredibly wealthy, partly from being part of The Maldovan Clan and partly thanks to his successes as an author and poet in Rosemoor.
