==History==
 
===Backstory===
 
Niklas was born to a Paladin father, Croix, and a White Mage mother, Selene, in Ala Mhigo. He truly felt at home around nature, tending to the local animals. However, 22 years ago, the Garleans invaded. He and his family left as refugees running away to find a new home. He absolutely loved how beautiful the rest of Eorzea is. The Grans then sent out to start a new life in this land, moving to the Coerthas Central Highlands, which is safe from the Garleans. When he was 17, he stumbled into a cave and founded both the sword Tyrfing and the shield Aegis, blessed weapons which were currently sealed of their full power.
 
===Birth of a New Legacy (Version 1.0)===
 
  
He wandered around the land of Eorzea with his adopted sister [[Rena Gran|Rena]] during the Sixth Astral Era, although he was sometimes hidden among the masses. He made several friends who decided to accompany him on his adventures, including [[Sarah Cornelia]], a Hyur Midlander who was actually a Garlean noble. When Dalamud started to fall, and when Niklas and his group, the original Gran Knights, were invading Castrum Novum, Sarah betrayed them for Nael. The despair this brought on Niklas awakened a different side of him: his Trance form. They were among the adventurers who killed Nael van Darnus. During the Calamity, his parents were two of the warriors thathis group both mysteriously survived the Mega Flare from the Primal Bahamut, however they were all separated as a result of the Calamity. For five years, and for the first time, he was truly alone in the realm. Eventually, five years later, he started his adventures anew, taking himself all across the reborn realm.

===New Beginnings in A Realm Reborn===
 
  
Niklas arrived in Ul'dah one day, and discovered many things seem different, while others stayed the same. He found allies in [[Aaron Glacier]], [[Xuri Tia]], and many others. Along the way he reunited with his sister Rena, and his big and friendly Roegadyn Warrior Maetiraet Sterrwaek. Together, they formed the Gran Knights, heroes who help those in need. Their first challenge was taking care of some giant tortoises that have been terrorizing Scorpion Crossing, but they prevailed. They also did missions against the beast tribes, so they can prevent the beastmen from summoning their Primals to wreak havoc. They were among the many adventurers who defeated Gaius van Baelsar and the XIVth Legion, but Niklas still has an uneasy feeling.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">✪</font> '''Theme Song:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqxExmq2t90 FLOW - Won't you stay]
===Adventures with the Gran Knights===
 
  
The Gran Knights are still handling the beast tribes, and also doing leves and guildhests. Niklas trained day and night for the day he and his knights were needed. One day, he thought he saw Sarah, the same person that betrayed them five years prior. Niklas has actually developed feelings for her, and knows that she is conflicted inside, but wants her to figure things out without his own interference.

Niklas has a pure heart and a benevolent & compassionate nature (both inherited from his mother), hating war for the deaths, misery and agony it comes with. However, he has also shown to be quite arrogant and hot-blooded; some consider it a split personality, but in truth, he just gets excited and hyperactive. Despite being born in nobility, he feels more comfortable around the common folk.
 
===Trance (True Self)===
 
Before, hidden beneath the happy demeanor he exhibits, lies a man with a half-broken mind due to the traumatic memories he had. Whenever he feels emotionally distressed, he can suddenly become a powerful berserker with full control of his swords and magic. Only Rena or someone very special to him could calm him down, or he has to be defeated. '''Now he has gained complete control of this state, no longer going berserk, and naming this form ''Trance''.'''
 
==Affiliations and Known Associates==
 
  
[[Aaron Glacier]]: An ex-pirate of the Glacial Wolf Pirates. Described as the lancer to Niklas, he found him in the Quicksand, and became one of the founding members of the Gran Knights, given the rank of First Tsurugi, making him Niklas's second. He may be stoic, but that overrides when he parties! Niklas also won a high-quality sword from him after defeating three golems at the same time, before Aaron could find his sword, as part of a "friendly" game. They have once fought before, beating Aaron twice, even when he was dual wielding, which brought him into moral depression and generated animosity in him towards Niklas, thus a rivalry was born, as Aaron seeks a rematch, but Niklas is worried about him. Later while at the Kobold stronghold, Niklas finally confronted Aaron on about his attitude and calling him weak, and then Niklas called him a pirate, which almost unfolded into a fight if it weren't for the intervention of [[S'imba Tia]]. While they fought their rematch, Niklas's Trance Mode suddenly activated and he hurt Aaron's girlfriend Nysa. Nik felt extremely bad for what he did, and realizing he also disrespected Aaron, he apologized to him and Nysa the next day, and for the first time, Aaron smiled at him. Since then, he has been training Nik in the art of '''First Tsurugi''', Nik naming the style '''Second Tsurugi''' for himself.
+
: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">✪</font> '''Complexion:''' Light Tan
  
[[Rena Gran]]: Niklas's adopted Miqo'te little sister, who is the last remaining Miqo'te from the almost-extinct monkey-like Opo tribe, who have monkey like tails resembling Opo-opos instead of feline tails. Niklas and Rena's relationship are just like a brother-sister relationship. Rena thinks of Niklas as a true older brother, and Niklas truly cares for Rena and her safety. When they were reunited, they were both overcome with joy. Even though sometimes Rena annoys him, Nik knows that is just her way of loving him.
+
: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">✪</font> '''Face:''' Azure blue eyes.
  
[[Talyn Shadowmoon]]: A female Hyur Midlander that Niklas found in the streets near the Quicksand. She is an aspiring thief and assassin, and one of Niklas's best friends. She stayed with the Gran Knights for a while before leaving, but not before Niklas christened her an Honorary Knight and gave her the task of spying on the Regnum Garlemald.
+
: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">✪</font> '''Hair:''' Deep bluish-black hair
  
[[S'imba Tia]]: An energetic Mi'qote and a friend of Aaron and Niklas. He was accompanied by them during a visit to the Kobold stronghold. He slipped off the edge and Niklas tried to rescue him, but he couldn't and Aaron called him weak in return, causing an argument to erupt. S'imba returned and stopped them before they fought, just in time. Before leaving though, Niklas asked S'imba how much does he truly know Aaron.
+
: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">✪</font> '''Fashion:'''  
  
[[Rutu Tutu]]: A flirtatious Lalafell that guided her sister all the way from Gridania to meet her brother once again. As such, Niklas holds high respect for him, despite his questionable flaws and habits.
+
===Personality===
 +
Normally people get surprised when they first see a talking blue crystal, but when you get to know Niklas, you get to know a nice fellow. Niklas has a calm, rational mindset that is the opposite of someone like say, [[Solis Claritas]], although he is prone to sarcasm, a habit borrowed by his close friend [[Aaron Frostheart]]. In combat he observes his surroundings instead of just rushing in without thinking, a trait he learned since his "death". He truly cares for his friends and allies, and would do anything to make sure they all stay alive and well.

===Quirks===

===Equipment===
 
Niklas uses his blessed sword and shield that he found in a cave in Coerthas. He uses a unique style of swordsmanship that he blends both his sword and shield as his weapons. ''The in-game sword used to model the RP sword is in italic.''

Found in the same cave as Tyrfing, it is also blessed and is enhanced by Niklas's aether, making for an almost-invincible defense, and also a powerful side-arm, being used to ram enemies to stagger them. '''Also like Tyrfing, it is locked to Niklas's aether, therefore it can only be wielded by him.'''

Personality

Normally people get surprised when they first see a talking blue crystal, but when you get to know Niklas, you get to know a nice fellow. Niklas has a calm, rational mindset that is the opposite of someone like say, Solis Claritas, although he is prone to sarcasm, a habit borrowed by his close friend Aaron Frostheart. In combat he observes his surroundings instead of just rushing in without thinking, a trait he learned since his "death". He truly cares for his friends and allies, and would do anything to make sure they all stay alive and well.

Combat

General

Nik's swordsmanship is refined and sturdy, and uses his speed to outmaneuver his opponents and catch them off-guard. He does not name his techniques, as there isn't a need to do so, but he knows some techniques from his good friend Aaron Frostheart, whose similar fighting style blends in well with Nik's own fighting style.

  • "He's....certainly interesting, I'll give him that. Really wanted a cape for some reason. Quite eccentric too." Franz Renatus
  • "Pretty sure he cheated in a contest of riddles once. I hope he really needed that gil 'f he was willin' t'deceive fer it..." X'unmei Noh
  • "He's not dead like I thought, so I'm not too caring on the past events between us anymore. Call me a ass." Aaron Frostheart
  • "He claims he didn't cheat during that contest, but.. I find that hard to believe when someone can answer complex riddles and doesn't know what 'coitus' means. I just hope he has the right mind to put that money to good use rather than use it for selfish means." - Cyrus Mulano
  • "The boy calls himself a knight, though I don't recall ever seeing him in the training all. Free he may be, but I would not call him Paladin." - Coatleque Crofte
  • "N-Nik has a big heart! H-He is strong, kind, a-and very sweet..!" - Khrys Relanah
