Technique/Weapons On the surface, it would seem Nicolai is only proficient at guns. However, when pushed into a corner, he shows his full arsenal. He is adept at a variety of magic, able to heal minimally, as well as manipulate aether in the form of elemental spells. He has learned how to combine his ability of summoning aether with his ability of marksmanship to create aether-charged rounds that can be remote-detonated into spell-enhanced shots. His specialty aside from elemental attacks and his caster-gun is his ability to create a protective shell around himself or others almost invisible to the naked eye. He calls the spell an aegis shield. He is able to create a minor shield able to maneuver it at will around himself and towards others, or, with more time and energy, a wall to cover more area. ✦ Weapon: Typically seen with his caster-gun. Weapons of Choice ■ Caster-gun ■ Elemental spells OOC information for YOU If ever interested in engaging in a fight/spar/any other similar interaction with Nic, please read on. I am very open to gore and violence and am not beyond having my character sport an injury. However! Dismemberment, permanent damage, and even death needs to be spoken about prior in vivid detail/discussion before anything will ever occur IC. ■ Sort-of Grindstone rules: More or less everyone's go-to in the public-realm of RP. (using ingame /random rolls) We start with an initial roll to determine first to strike. Thereafter, roll for attack, roll for defense. Post. Repeat until someone reaches agreed upon number of blows. Or 3 as per Grindstone standard. ■ Free-form: I will sometimes be open to this form of combat if I know you well enough or am generally comfortable enough with you that I know any sort of mishaps during an encounter can be discussed and worked out in a timely manner. Paragraph-posts most welcome in this form, but not required. We exchange attack attempts and have our characters respond accordingly to their personal limits. Requires both/all parties to have intimate knowledge of their own characters limits and trust on both sides that both people will respond fairly. (Your characters dodge, evade, etc, within reason of their limits). Be prepared for a fight like this to possibly go on longer than average roll-system based fight. ■ Talk to me: If there is ever any ideas you might have that you'd like to pass by me, go for it. I'm very open to ooc discussions even off-the-wall AU stuff or just ideas in general. Throw them at me!! Same goes with combat ideas. I'm very willing and open to consider other ideas and options. This goes beyond just combat RP! RUMORS N P C Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ Lost his penis. (to a group of angry ex-lovers) ■ Is married (despite missing his left ring-finger). ■ Has some sort of sight-difficulty. Wasn't he completely blind?? ■ Rather regular somnus user for the past year+. Rumor is he's trying to quit. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ Wanted by Empire as traitor and for killing of multiple soldiers. ■ Was once very publicly captured and taken away in the Pearl Lane in Ul'dah as a suspected Empire loyalist. ■ Does odd jobs for gil, or usually in exchange for a somnus-hookup. (Smuggling,etc.) ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ Formerly aided frumentarii agents in locating and acquiring deserters/defectors. ■ Responsible for the death of the husband of Volcatia Pyr Volturcius, among others. ■ Went missing on shipment not long after finishing training in the Empire (Age 17). His squad never arrived at their intended designation and they were declared deserters. P C Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - ■ "Place Rumor here " — Rumormonger. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – Unsure M'lissa Keht, Mother-figure. ( ♥ ) - Liss. Character's Thoughts: "At first I thought Liss just let me stick around because of Axia. After Axia was gone, I had no place to go. Liss let me stay with her and her kids. She let any of her mercenaries stay there if we didn't have a place. It took a long time for me to realize I was one of them -- that it wasn't just because of Axia. The other Marmot mercenaries call her Mother Lissa. I totally get it now. I owe her and the others everything. For myself and for Ax. Our home might not want us back the way it is now, but Liss gave us a new home and family to fight for." Nicolai has taken residence in what was formerly M'lissa's apartment. He once babysat her twins. Now, he does his best to uphold Lissa's values in keeping the apartment open for those in need of shelter. He also continues to work with the remaining Marmot mercenaries. Ensei'to Shuse, Brother..?. (♦♥ ) - Snowball. Character's Thoughts: "Did I say brother?? What? When? Hells no. Ensei is my bitch." Ensei'to and Nicolai did not always see eye-to-eye. For some time, Ensei was the one forced to deal with the displaced Linnaeus and they shared an apartment together. begrudgingly. They've had a lot of ups and downs. Some very, very low downs. But they now appear on steady footing together in comradery. Or as stable-footing as any of the Marmot mercenaries are with one another. They're a violent sort. K'toree Tohm, Babe. ( ♥♦ ) - Punch-cat. Character's Thoughts: "She's a little ... crazy? I guess? I don't know.. or just violent. Uhh, not that she is like that with everyone. Just everyone I've seen her around s'all. Especially me." A fellow member of the Marmot mercenaries, Toree once shared Lissa's apartment with Nicolai and others who did not have a place to go. With M'lissa's decline in health, Nicolai has taken over caring for the apartment and still allows others, such as Toree to remain there. They have something of a complicated relationship given Toree's feelings as well as Nicolai's difficulty letting go of the past and moving on. Helena Crystalline, Comrade. ( ♦ ) - Legs. Character's Thoughts: "I once almost made her blow an entire bar sky-high. Think I said somethin' about her parents makin' her a spoiled brat." Like what can be said about the majority of Nicolai's connections, he enjoys trying to incite extremes out of people. In Helena's case, Nicolai particularly enjoys making the noble-born woman lose her composure. Sam Redsteele, Babe. ( ♥ ) - Squirt. Character's Thoughts: "They're a little shit. But they're my little shit." Sometime after Nicolai acquired his major handicaps, he rarely left the apartment until he happened to bump into a hobo on the street. That hobo was Sam. It turned into an awkward friendship that they were now and then rekindle if and when they would meet up during Nicolai's rare outings that gradually grew more frequent. Sam is one of the few Nicolai has offered a safe place for within Lissa's (his) apartment. Person Name, relationship. ( ) - Title. Character's Thoughts: " ." Description of their relationship. Place Holder.. ( ♦ ) - Place Holder. Character's Thoughts: "Place Holder." Place Holder. OOC NOTES OOC INFORMATION Player Note ---- Personal RP Limits I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows. ■ I will play Almost anything that isn't described below. ■ I won't play ASK ME IF YOU ARE EVER UNCERTAIN. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ If you're ever uncomfortable, please, PLEASE let me know. I play my characters out how they would naturally respond and while I do my best to ensure I do not overstep anyone's comfort-levels, I am only human. If I ever make you feel uncomfortable in any way, please speak up. ■ Nicolai is not one to leap into relationships as a character. Moreover, he is not an overly sexual character despite his over-the-top flirtatious personality. That being said, I am open to romantic moves on the character, but I prefer to be up-front with my RP limits about such contact. I prefer to fade-to-black erotic scenes, especially to make room and time for furthering of plot. I do make exceptions, however. But these are rare. Simply put, try to talk to me first if you have anything of this sort in mind. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. ■ If the wolf-pup minion is out, it's IC there somewhere (usually in Nic's feet). Go ahead and ask me OOC about it if you'd like to approach the pupper as your walk up. Or just, you know, go for it. ■ Use the rumors, if you're ever unsure if you can/should, just ask! ■ Please just throw any/all ideas/suggestions you have at me. I'm very open to ideas or plots others might want me to join in. So, seriously, just message me OOC anytime for open discussion. Credit Thank you all for letting me use/alter your codes.
