CHARACTER
Name: Viggo Lust (pronounced closer to 'Loost' - video)
True Name: Viggo
Canon: The Third Eye / Det Tredje Øyet (post-canon)
Age: 42
History: The English wiki page's plot has 4 sentences, and they're terrible.
Warnings for child death, murder, suicide, hallucinations and brain tumours.
Background:
Born near Bergen in Norway, in 1972. Grew up in a small village, which definitely didn't accommodate for his intelligence and drive. As a teenager he did some illegal stuff, getting involved with a bad crowd and then getting into trouble with the cops over it. A police officer offered to help him, and set Viggo on the path to becoming a police officer himself.
He went to the police academy in Oslo, then worked himself up through the ranks over the years. In his early 30s, he married Sofie. When he was 36, he became a father to Christina. This was probably the happiest day of his life.
In 2008, Viggo made detective chief inspector, working for the homicide unit. Shortly after, Christina (now 5 years old) disappeared. He worked tirelessly for years trying to find her, long after anyone had given up. His marriage fell apart, and they divorced. Sofie later got engaged to a man named Håvard and became pregnant.
Season 1: (Late winter until early summer, 2013)
In 2013, he started having visions in his dreams. His daughter would appear to him, along with locations or items important to crimes that had just happened, before he'd even heard of them. This helped him solve the crimes faster and find the required evidence, although he had trouble explaining how he made those connections. Sometimes the vision would even happen to him while awake.
These clues also started to lead him towards finding Christina. He became certain she'd been left in a lake. At one point he even got diving sickness and almost died because he was so desperately trying to find her, diving in every lake in the area, searching.
Viggo grew increasingly more determined and paranoid, though not without good reason. He had reason to suspect Håvard, and when they found a stray hair that matched Christina's DNA in the trunk of his car, he was taken into custody. It later turned out that Sofie and Håvard had been sleeping together back before Christina was disappeared, and the hair was Sofie's. However, Håvard died in custody, seemingly from suicide, but Viggo suspected he was murdered by police.
While he suspected and investigated his coworkers, some of them in turn started to think Viggo himself had killed Christina, and had simply repressed it. Viggo ended up going on the run, just to figure out who it was before it was covered up.
He finally did, and it was indeed a coworker, and he was almost executed when he confronted them. It turned out to have just been a terrible accident, that was covered up to protect the culprit. The culprit gave Viggo his gun and wanted Viggo to kill him - which he almost did, before just dropping the gun and wading into the lake to find his daughter. Her body was finally found, and she was laid to rest.
After that, Viggo tried to move on from everything that had happened. He started working for the organised crime unit instead, not keeping in touch with anyone. The only connection he still maintained was a friendship with Sofie.
Season 2: (Spring, 2015, one month)
Two years later, he started having visions again, his daughter appearing to him, warning of danger or giving him clues. He went to her grave and lit a candle, and told her "Don't come back."
He started babysitting for Sofie's daughter Tuva, and then reignited their relationship after Sofie initiated sex with him. One night, he had a heavy nosebleed and Sofie took him to the ER. He had a brain scan, and found out he has a brain tumour that will likely kill him within a year, unless he gets surgery, which has a chance of leaving him permanently brain damaged. He tried to break it off with Sofie without telling her why, but she found out and promised that they'll do this together.
While all of this was going on, he was also working on a drug smuggling case that then led to a murder, and the unit started collaborating with the homicide unit, including his former partner Mari. Some of his recurring visions included Mari being shot and bleeding out. When she didn't answer her phone after such a vision, he rushed to her house and stopped Mari's mentally ill mother from shooting her.
During this month, he ended up in two separate shootings, one of which because he went in on his own without backup. After a conversation with a psychologist, he ended up suspended for a few days. The police then got surveillance video of Viggo pulling a gun at nothing, inside a car wash - which he had done because he was seeing a vision of a shooter.
Meanwhile, Viggo figured out who was behind the shootings; a police officer, who proceeded to make veiled threats to harm Sofie and Tuva. Viggo made sure they went into hiding, while he tried to find evidence and track down the killer before he could kill anyone else. Mari came after Viggo to help, and Viggo tracked him down, but passed out because of head pain - which let the killer shoot Mari with Viggo's gun. Police arrived soon after, and Viggo was arrested for shooting Mari.
Knowing that Sofie was in danger, and guided by a premonition, Viggo hung himself in the holding cell. When he woke up in the ambulance, he broke out, stole a cop's gun and then a civilian's car, going after the killer. Viggo managed to stop him just in time, shooting and killing him before he could shoot a hostage.
Mari survived, and Viggo was cleared. He scheduled a surgery for next week. A few days before the surgery, him and Sofie had a moving-out party from their old house, as they were planning to move in together. During the party, Viggo had a vision of his daughter and passed out. That's the last thing he remembers.
Powers/Abilities:
- Hallucinations that provide premonitions/warnings/clues. They usually aren't too explicit/exact, and don't always come true. So mechanically they're easy to work around in-game, with possibility for planning stuff without necessarily forcing events in specific directions. Obviously an opt-in thing with other players. It won't be used in relation to game plot without being explicitly allowed.
Inventory:
- Shirt, jeans, underwear, socks, sneakers.
- Wallet containing driver's ID, debit card, police ID card, cash, business cards, photos of his daughter, and of his ex-wife and her daughter.
Job History:
- Detective chief inspector, Oslo district: section for murder/forensic science. (5 years)
Frequently the senior investigating officer on major cases, primarily murders.
Assigning tasks, prioritising and organising investigations.
Forensic investigation of crime scenes. Interviewing witnesses and suspects. Making arrests. Interacting with the media.
In addition to investigative and communication skills, he also has combat and gun training. He can write shorthand.
He's highly driven, curious, intelligent, and able to see the bigger picture. He's very physically fit.
He's insightful, authoritative, and decisive. He also has the underlying compassion that motivates wanting to help people.
- Detective chief inspector, Oslo district: section for organised crime. (2 years)
Similar to above, except now focusing primarily on drug smuggling cases.
Long-term surveillance and intelligence gathering is a much bigger factor.
Suppressions:
- Hallucinations. He knows they can be helpful, but they're also distracting and outright dangerous in certain situations. But sometimes they're overwhelming, and sometimes he needs to know what they could show.
- Weakness or need for comfort and care. He almost always downplays if there's anything wrong, denying it until he can't. He'll accept (and enjoy) affection and pleasure, but not anything borne out of worry for him. "I'm fine" is practically a catchphrase.
- Jealousy or possessiveness. He's pretty good at suppressing that by now, but he really wasn't a few years ago.
- Suspicion and paranoia. He knows a certain amount is required in his job, but he also knows firsthand what can happen if it gets out of hand. He works hard to maintain a balance.
Greatest Fear:
The death of his ex-wife and her daughter. He goes to great lengths to protect them when they're threatened. Himself dying or becoming permanently brain-damaged is related, but primarily because then he won't be able to be there for them.
Greatest Desire:
To have his daughter back alive and with him. But he knows it's impossible, and that her return in his visions is not a good thing, so it also haunts him. Second to that is simply to live a happy life with his ex-wife and her kid, to protect them. To protect people in general by continuing to do his job to the best of his ability.
Greatest Regret:
Losing sight of his daughter for those 53 seconds it took for someone to kidnap her. Not finding her before she died.
