okay, I promised you asks, so here's some asks (more will come when I think of more)

Did Nero always know he was related to a Rogue Trader, or was it a surprise to him?

How tall is he?

What would you say is the biggest departure you've made from the game's canon options in Nero's story or character?

He didn’t know he was von Valancius until Kunrad told him. When he was separated from his family as a child, Nero was only able to remember the surname of his mother, Stubbs.
Indeed, learning that he had been a noble all this time was a surprise to him. A pleasant surprise. He immediately began plotting the assassination of his aunt and cousins in order to become a new rogue trader and expand his influence as a crime lord, though cousin Kunrad was quicker with his own plans and things still turned out better for Nero.

Nero is 195 cm

My favourite, and the biggest departure from the game’s canon, is that Nero has phantom pain from the Shadow of Torment and can’t stop hearing voices in his head or see hallucinations. In general, he has more side effects from The Torment than the game can show me. Even under alcohol and heavy narcotics, he can still hear and feel everything to some extent, the voices become whispers and the phantom pain is no longer acute when he is sedated.

And when he asked Kibellah if she could teach him to follow The Tenets and stop feeling the pain like she does, it was not just a question out of curiosity, but a veiled plea for salvation from pain. And I loved it so much.

Thank you soo much for the questions!! 🖤✨
