CPT. SIMON ILLYAN

Player Information
Player Name	Rho	Contact	katoptron \| rhokosigan
AKA	Currently Miles Vorkosigan in Tributary. Yes, Simon is a major canonmate. Yes, there are shenanigans in place for them not talking to each other. This is enrichment for Rho. (You are welcome to tell Miles that Simon exists here; Miles still won't recognize him.)
Character Basics
Character Name	Simon Illyan	Series/Canon	Vorkosigan Saga
AU/PG/Canon Point	From the end of Memory, but he will start with the memory chip intact.	Cottage	Moss
Canon Details	Rho is fiddling with timelines a lil so technically this is a slight AU/revision of timelines, mostly so she can keep her PB joke intact and not look for anyone older. Simon's 54 instead of 62, basically, and got his chip at an obscenely young age. Frankly, this is MORE in character for the emperor who put it in there.
Character Details
Age	54	Pronouns	he/him
Physical Stature	Slim, but in startlingly good shape for his age. About 5'9".	Hair/Eyes	Dark blond/muted gray
Notable Traits	None, honestly. That's his whole deal: he's pathologically average.
15 Second Summary	Simon is the blandest man you will ever meet. Part of this is basic physical experience (slim, unassuming) and part of it is the fact that he has been head spymaster for a galactic empire for the last thirty years. He is VERY good at not being noticed, not because he's invisible, but because he clearly isn't worth your attention. Baby-faced for his age; he looks a lot younger than 55.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities	Strictly speaking, Simon has no supernatural abilities ... but he does have a eidetic memory chip in his head that records all audio/visual input. (He still has amnesia like everyone else.) The corruption from the river will have shorted it out a bit just to cover Rho's own memory not being perfect, but generally speaking, expect Simon to remember absolutely everything he encounters in Trib.
Permissions	Generally PG-13 is fine. Y'all mostly gonna be a little young for Simon, but you can flirt with him if you want.
Sensing	Anyone with telpathy or other special senses is welcome to notice the chip in Simon's brain. It's literally the only thing that's special about him. EDIT: He now has a subtle protective enchantment on him that basically keeps him from being actively noticed by one person (Miles Vorkosigan). This is his only chance to have a break from Miles, let him have this.
