Kristof
Kristof is the 80th Dateable. He is the personification of a crosstrainer and is voiced by Troy Baker.
Description
Personality
Kristof is an intense man that celebrates violence while valuing strength and honor. Though he can seem mean and dangerous at first, he can be friendly and appreciates that the player makes an effort to improve at "violence" (exercise), even though they're bad at it and is pleased with their growth.
Appearance
Kristof is a large and muscly man, with his physical appearance resembling a Viking. His skin has a pink-ish tone, with a large nose, chiseled jaw and a piercing gaze. He has blonde hair that reaches past his shoulders, tied into two braids and a full beard.
He wears a black head piece made of treadmill handlebars in the style of a horned Viking helmet, or similar to a Bull.
The upper half of his armour consists of a treadmill track in a tank top shape, with a touch pad across the chest and plastic side bars running parallel, he wears a pair of elbow length, fingerless grey gloves with speed adjustment button pads attached to the forearm and wheel tracks running along the side. He wears a V shaped belt made of a dark grey plastic, with a treadmill wheel attached over his crotch. He wears dark, lined leggings with two miniature treadmill belts either side of his hips, spanning the length of this thighs. His boots reach his knees and are also made of treadmill belts, with their own handle bars attached and a metal underside.
The Narrator describes him as "the blonde Viking" with a "truly intimidating figure".
Location
Kristof can be found in the workout room on the second floor.
Individual Story
Click here to view the interaction summaries:
Interaction 1
Unswayed by their initial reservations, Kristof challenges the player to fight him. He asks them to return with a 'weapon'.
Interaction 2
Kristof is not impressed by the player's choice of weapon, declaring them to be 'bad at violence'. He offers to coach them. The player can accept his training or dismiss it. They can also listen to one of his tales, about a fryer consumed by his love of oil, whom Kristof and his companions defeated. If the player agrees to train, Kristof will rebrand violence to 'exercise' to accommodate them more. His first workout is a twenty-minute walk.
Interaction 3
Kristof asks how the workout went. If the player says that they did it, Kristof is proud of their progress. His next exercise involves weight-lifting while twisting the core.
Interaction 4
Impressed by the player's growth and dedication, Kristof hands them a ring that was once given to his father as a peace offering.
Interaction 5
If the player has participated in Kristof's workouts, he will confess that he feels love for them, which they can reciprocate for a LOVE ending or remain FRIENDS instead.
If the player has been more hesitant about the workouts, but has listened to Kristof's stories and generally been polite, he realizes that violence just isn't their thing. While saddened by this, he also respects their decision, and they become FRIENDS.
Being negative towards Kristof and his stories cuts him deeply, and he leaves the player with HATE.

Ending Art Caption
(Italics indicate a Love ending only line)
Kristof yearned for greater challenges than he'd been able to find on the entire surface of the Earth... so he went within.After learning that the gravitational constant increases dramatically at the boundary of the Earth's core and its mantle, Kristof determined that he would go there.He would be the first human to survive, and work out, in that environment - all because of his beautifully engineered intra-earth submersible.But intra-earth or not, Kristof knew that no environment could possibly be hotter than Kristof himself.On his most recent visit to the house, he claimed that since you survived him, you were more than qualified to come with him on his trip. He offered to build a teeny cabin on the submersible, just for you.You are still considering.
