THE APPEARANCE

Nihlus appears as an average human in his mid-twenties, with short brown hair and brown eyes. He stands at 6'2" and weighs approximately 153lbs. He's built light, with a body made for agility rather than brute strength. His facial hair is kept short and neat, when he has any at all. He is rarely seen outside of the clothing he made himself. Cloaked, hooded, and armored, he appears quite intimidating when wearing this. His cloak is pitch black, and ripped and torn around the bottom. His face is covered by an armoured mask, with matching armor covering his chest. His hands and forearms are clad in gauntlets and bound in black leather. A great belt goes around his waist, with a large, bronze colored buckle across the front. He carries a sword at his side, unusual for those who walk the path of the magic-user. In addition to this, he is almost never seen without a book, bound in leather with arcane symbols which seem to shift as one watches. He keeps this strapped to his belt.

THE PERSONALITY

Arrogant, paranoid, and ruthless: Three words that describe Nihlus well. Nihlus is a man whose world revolves around the concept of power. He is utterly dedicated to the acquisition of more of it, at any cost, willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve it. To him, murder is not an abomination, instead being a simple action which is justified by the goal. Innocents mean nothing to him; in his eyes, there are none. He is a manipulator, carefully milking every bit of his "associates" worth, before throwing them to the wolves. To him, people are little more than tools to be used to build the bigger picture, a picture which focuses on himself. Nihlus is near incapable of compassion, only showing it to three creatures, his familiars Wraith and Shadow, and his magnificent dragon, Khellendros. They are the only beings who he treats on an equal level as himself. When working with others, Nihlus almost inevitably betrays his partners, unless they themselves have considerable power in their own right, OR he has managed to gain respect for them. Despite the fact that he believes his skills are superior to everyone elses, he's not an idiot. The man with the magic sword and the years of training, and the queen with the kingdom at her command... these people he will stay loyal to... unless he is absolutely sure he can pull it off.

THE HISTORY

BIRTH REALM: Faeryn
BIRTH KINGDOM: Faylinn

Born in the village of Lochdale, in the kingdom of Faylinn, Nihlus was set to be a normal boy. His parents were, and to this day still are, the owners of the Spoiled Princess Tavern, a popular establishment for the farmers of the town. As he grew up, his parents hoped to put him into the family business, however, this was not to be. Upon his thirteenth birthday, his family began to notice strange things happening around the boy. At first, it was little things, like misplaced items, opening doors, that sort of things. Eventually, however, something big happened. While being bullied by one of the local bigger kids, Nihlus lit the child's hair on fire, simply by willing it to happen.

Luckily for him, a Feanaro happened to be travelling through the town mere days later, and caught wind of the stoy. Coming to the boy's house, where he had stayed to keep away from the other children, the Feanaro began to discuss the possibility of Nihlus being trained like himself. His parents allowed the Feanaro to test Nihlus to see if he had magical powers. The test confirmed it. Nihlus was indeed capable of utilizing magic.. All he needed was a person to train him. The Feanaro offered to train their young son in the use of his powers, so that he could control them when he was older. Nihlus's parents were unsure of this, as they would essentially be giving up their son to a stranger who just happened to be capable of utilizing magic. However, the Feanaro informed them that, if he went untrained, it was likely he would be hunted as a witch, and burned. This made the parents realize that this could possibly be the best option for them. To ensure they did not change their mind, the Feanaro placed a spell on the parents, causing them to agree wholeheartedly with the plan.

The Feanaro took Nihlus away, to a hideout deep within Eldenar Forest. Here, he trained Nihlus in the ways of magic, teaching the child how to control his abilities and to use them to great effect. For years, the Feanaro taught his pupil, taking great pride in how swift the young boy mastered his powers. Soon, Nihlus was casting spells nearly as well as his mentor himself. When the boy had turned eighteen, his mentor declared him ready to be a master in his own right, ready to become his own man. Nihlus was overjoyed, and in thanks, murdered his mentor. You see, over the years, the mentor had been ignorant of the growing seeds of anger and bitterness that had been planted the day he had been taken from his parents. Nihlus had no love for his mentor, but he knew that if he wished to become a powerful magic-user, he needed to learn everything he could from the man. With his training done, he was finally able to repay his mentor for taking him away.

Since then, Nihlus has taken the hideout as his own, and begun studying to find ways to increase his power. His time spent in the library of his former mentor provided much insight into the realm of magic, insight the other feanaro had not told him. Evil magic, the ability to drain the life of others, and even to raise the dead and force them to do his bidding. His studies also showed him that many a magic-user was brought low by his dependence upon magic. Stories about how a great and powerful magic user was at the height of his power, only for a warrior with a sword to slay him in combat due to being defensless up close. In order to rectify this situation, Nihlus took up the sword, recruiting a veteran soldier to teach him in its use. Upon deciding he was good enough with the blade to defend himself in combat, he killed his trainer and continued his quest for power. Now, Nihlus has turned his attention to the fragile state of the kingdom, and has begun plotting ways to turn it to his advantage. Perhaps he might join the Queen, and use her own substantial resources for his benefit.

THE DRAGON

NAME: Khellendros
AGE: 1 Year
GENDER: Female
COLOR: Dark Purple

GUARDIAN DRAGON: N/A
MOTHER: Fleurivaen
FATHER: Necrontyrius
SIBLINGS: N/A

PERSONALITY:

Khellendros is quite similar to Nihlus in many respects, a near-unavoidable outcome to having been raised by the man from birth. Much of his anger and hatred towards the masses who inhabit the world has been adopted by Khellendros, something which is quite alarming, considering she combines that pure malice with the power of a dragon. In addition to this, she is arrogant, and dismissive of ‘lesser beings,’ notable exceptions being Nihlus and his familiars, simply because she considers them to be her family. Like her rider, Khellendros gains great pleasure seeing the pain and destruction of others, and enjoys it even more when she’s the one dealing out that pain. Perhaps most alarming of all, Nihlus actively encourages her to act out in the most violent fashions possible, as he finds it amusing watching her rampage.
