KOM’RK

(doing these back-to-back was a mistake I am fatigued. this one’s gonna be a bit lackluster I’m sorry I had it all planned out last night I swear)

First impression : Knife Boi. Quiet.

Impression now : Extremely high emotional intelligence, but honestly that just makes him more alarming, because I don’t feel like he has a very high sense of compassion outside his family, though he can fake it. The rare breed of a low energy extrovert, and probably can pull off the lounging broodingly in a corner thing when he goes to clubs, which probably pisses Mereel off. Very reliable, even to the point where Ordo turns to him for advice a couple times and even accepts Kom’rk chiding him when he puts his foot in it about other people, but whether or not that reliability is a trap door depends on his relationship to the person, and it is genuinely impossible to tell the difference in how he treats someone he genuinely cares about and how he treats a mark until he actively decides to drop the act. Basically on the opposite end of the spectrum from A’den. I’m pulling that entirely from the way he treats Jusik, which I will get to.

But he also loves his brothers and he does things like hole up in Jaing’s room and take over a corner for himself, presumably because he just doesn’t like being alone, which is fucking cute.

Favorite moment : When Jusik, failing to note the irony, asks Kom’rk to kill him if he ever decides Jusik is getting too comfortable with manipulating other people or subverting their free thinking, and Kom’rk - who is definitely not unaware of the irony - immediately goes, “Yeah, sure, bro. Will do.” One...that’s fucking cold for someone who’s been characterized up until this point as the reliable, level-headed one who was considerate of other peoples’ feelings, wow. Talk about turning on a dime. Two, even Jaing gets a bit nervous at Kom’rk’s easy answer, and I feel like that says a hell of a lot about how Kom’rk operates.

And probably how he feels about Jusik, without ever giving the actual empath a reason to doubt Kom’rk’s loyalty to his new brother that I’m not actually sure Kom’rk feels. Good luck telling that from his behavior, though.

Idea for a story : Kom’rk developing an actual emotional investment in this clan that isn’t just his brothers. (I vote Laseema.)

Unpopular opinion : are there opinions?

Favorite relationship : Jaing. A very interesting take on the those two guys concept that I adore. I also like the idea that Jaing “People Gloves” Skirata, was probably the one who followed Kom’rk “nobody got me a cake /jk /kinda not really” Skirata to the Outer Rim to provide emotional support for him while he self-isolated. Their dynamic is bloody and sweet, I think.

Favorite headcanon : Kom’rk’s one of the first of the Nulls to really understand how badly Kal did by them, and part of his desire to keep his distance is for that reason while he’s trying to sort it out.
