Qurtok : God of Unclaimed Luggage

"But these are...so...common."

While technicly a resident of Yu-shan rather than Nexus, Qurtok has a bit of soft spot in his heart for the city, as it is one of the prime contributers to his domain. He is a rather unassuming looking god, his hair is usually mussed, and he usually wears a hidous mismatch of fashions from all over creation. His manner is almost always friendly and laidback. This belies the fact that he is one of the most upwardly mobile gods in Heavan. Rising from a minor god of a silly matter, he now reports to Marthesine directly(and is one of the few who can find her easily). Getting the contract for Tshugar from her was one of his best moves and a reason he still likes Nexus.

He managed to get a Celestial Manse, but doesn't use it much, it mostly functions as a storage space. Despite his look, Qurtok is extremly organized, stopping just short of being a jerk about it. The inside of his manse is a gigantic monstrosity of gears, levers, wheels and pulleys. Each object has it's own independant mounting. One enters and appears on a little platform infront of a complicated control panel. Hitting the right controls on the panel will from a room(or sometimes just a shelf) with the asked for stuff. Asking for stuff lost by a little known begger may produce a small shelf with 3 items, while looking for all stuff lost by Dynasts between the ages of 15 and 30 during a 100 year period may be a large warehouse(Although you could try to be more specific).

Qurtok is obsessed with trying to increase his own power and responsiblity, although he's mostly done this "legally", i.e. through political maneuvering in Yu-shan, rather than trying to get followers directly. Despite his ambitions, he hasn't actually done much with his new power. He still files the apropriate reports, even though he KNOWS what Marthesine does with them. :cough:

While Qurtok's collection is only a small subset of Marthesine's, it's pretty good and he isn't as obsessed with increasing it. People who bargin with him tend to get strange requests that play into his political games somehow. Thus he tends to give quests rather than ask for items, aquiring the house he gave to Kresh'Inik this way.

Rumours

• Qurtok can also appear as a forgiener, in Nexus he can be anything from a prim Realm Dynast to a refugee from Gem to a Lintha Pirate. He can't appear as a local though.
• A part of Qurtok's success can partially be attributed to his friendship with Chih Fuo , the Goddess of Pragmadic Wisdom.
• Qurtok is just waiting for Marthesine to put that bag of her's down for too long, then he sooo ready to get promoted again...
• Qurtok was good friends with Vanileth(God of Artifical Flight), but they had a falling out for some reason.

Secret

• Qurtok's greatest triumph was when he managed to get Elsewhere classified as luggage. Due to this he made out like a bandit during the Upsurpation. He now owns more chakrams than all four war gods and the Immaculate Air Dragon paths combined. However these are mostly mundane.
• Now Luna owes Qurtok a favor for helping Kresh'Inik ; he hasn't worked out what to do with that...yet

Comments

I tried to be as serious as, well physical possible I think,i.e. I'm hoping he's actuall useful...--FlowsLikeBits
