Did your character willingly come to Iyashikei? If yes, why? Yes and no; he'd likely assert something like 'of course I want to help people' in disbelief/sarcasm, with the implied agreement and resultant isekai-ing coming before the 'but what the hell' that would logically follow.
Will they need any special accommodations upon arrival? Not immediate since he ought to have his cane/back and leg braces on him, but odds are he'll visit the hospital shortly after arrival for purposes of pain medication.

Questions:

1. Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them. How would your character act once someone got to know them? On sight, Viktor looks unwell, gaunt and pale with a crutch at his side and a brace on his leg; one might assume him fragile, though the reality is anything but. Viktor has a sharp intellect and sharper tongue, fully willing and able to stand up for himself with a wicked temper when necessary. At first he might come off as cold or unfriendly, but getting to know him would reveal that he's more just lacking in social skills and hardened by a lifetime of ableism and classism directed at him. Behind all that, he is ultimately kindhearted with a strong desire to keep others from living the way Viktor himself has, as well as being very willing to help the few he considers friends however he might be capable.

2. What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd? It's unclear exactly how Viktor came to study at Piltover Academy after living in the Undercity, but the implication is that his skills and intellect were so notable that the dean of the academy (and head of Piltover's council) took notice of him, eventually making Viktor his direct assistant. A deleted backstory from the writers would have had him sneak into the Academy and act like a student until Heimerdinger realized he wasn't enrolled, making Viktor his assistant instead of expelling him.

3. What does your character think their flaws are? What do they think their strengths are? What are their actual flaws and strengths? In a word, 'everything'. Viktor is an imperfect perfectionist, desperate to cure the things he sees as flaws and weaknesses in himself as well as others. His stubbornness blinds him to the fact that even while being in poor health, he is a person with intrinsic value regardless of his physical condition. Carrying a powerful fear of his own mortality, he is driven to the point of self-destruction to make some kind of difference to a world he knows he won't be in for long. Pride in his intellect and stubborn refusal to change his ways of thinking are both Viktor's assets and downfall; leading him to hold steadfast to his need to improve the lives of others, but also completely blinding him to the slippery slope of what the cost of that progress is as well as what defines 'weaknesses' neading to be 'cured'.

4. What is a common misconception other characters have about your character? As stated above, it would be easy to assume Viktor weak or frail due to his illness; while that much is true to a limited extent, he is still fully independent and capable, as well as driven to dispel exactly those assumptions while searching for a cure. Additionally, he can easily be regarded as unremarkable or even unassuming compared to other scholars and scientists--but the reality is that he is so brilliant it borders on dangerous. Well aware of his abilties and extremely prideful of them, he's an academic force to be reckoned with given the opportunity.

Character Abilities: Nothing superhuman or unusual at this point in time, but if/when he undergoes canon updates we'll talk about it.

Any comments or questions you would like us to know? A funny meme is also welcome! I'm assuming that since aging is stated to be halted, the same also applies to illnesses? Canon updates will make it less of an issue, but I just wanted to be sure it was effectively 'neither improving nor worsening' like I presumed.
