NAME: Ivan Vorpatril

POINT IN CANON: Post-Brothers in Arms
AGE: 22
APPEARANCE: Ivan is 6'1" and the picture model of a Barrayaran aristocrat or recruiting poster for the Barrayaran military. He has dark eyes and brown hair. As well as being quite attractive, he had no problem with the physical regimen necessary to either qualify for or graduate from the Imperial Academy.
( It wasn't my fault, it's not my job, you can't make me. )

If his input is the 'don't throw me a party' kind then Ivan can always ignore it. He's aware that his mother would be appalled at him for starting his planning so late, but Ivan's reasonably certain that he can still gather in one place all the essential ingredients: food, attractive women, alcohol, and Gregor. Still, he suspects that Gregor might want something more and what that something would be Ivan does not know.
So he turns to his journal, bringer of wisdom -- or at least other people's perspectives.]
What makes a party fun for you?
Me, I'm easy to please, I think. But some people are really sold on having tiny iced cakes that look like Earth, as an example.
[And for some people things that look like Earth are out of the question. Gregor might be more interested in that sort of difference than Ivan is. Actually...]
And if there's anything you do where you're from that you don't see done here, you might share that as well.

Jul. 11th, 2012 01:53 pm[As far as interesting occurrences go, waking up with no memory of how he got there has never, in Ivan's experience, been a good thing. He's a bit past that point -- and past spending lots of energy freaking out over the fact that there's something growing out of his back as well -- by the time he figures out to look inside the notebook he sees. Reading what he finds gives him some notion of just how deep of a hole he seems to have fallen in, but at least everyone seems to be in the same position. And this Malnasso isn't a group he's heard of before. If keeping his head down is what he needs to do, then that's what he'll do.
Of course, keeping his head down doesn't always mean literally keeping his head down. Ivan knows that there can be just as much advantage to going, "Hey, look at me, I'm not a threat at all," as there can be to going entirely unnoticed. And he happens to think he's made the former into an art. And as far as these things go, he might as well meet the other abductees.]
Well, this is...
Hello everyone. I'm Ivan. [Cue a smile, it might not be be able to seen but he's pretty sure that it'll come through in his voice.]
I'm going to think that won't mean much to you yet, since none of you seem particularly familiar to me, but from what it sounds like we might have time to get to know each other. A few facts about me: I like parties, not getting shot at, and sleeping in late. And not having my body modified without my permission, [it's a little harder to make himself sound cheerful there, but he does his best,] but given the circumstances I'll settle for three out of four.
Your turn.
