[hider=Nicholas Gallagher] [quote=The Goddess][i][color=6ecff6]"My, my, if I didn't know any better I'd almost think you were accusing me for killing you. Mhm, if you wish to return...well, I myself can not help you. It took all my divinity to merely pull you here. But I know something that can help you return. Travel the lands then, and find what you seek and return home. You could find that jewelry store and buy a ring for your girl...but just know, the world works in ways mortals can never understand. Even your mundane one. Everything will require a price. A life for a life. Your happiness...for another. I hope you make a decision you will not regret, at the end."[/color][/i][/quote] [center][img]https://s1.zerochan.net/Hattori.Heiji.600.2341868.jpg[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Nicholas "Nick" Gallagher [b]Gender:[/b] Heterosexual Male [b]Appearance:[/b] Fully human, dark-skinned, bluish-eyes.

I need to know what makes you, you..."[/quote] "I'm... was an environmentalist. And sort of a city planner, as a weird hobby or something. Or at least, I was gonna be. I'm... I was on my last year. I even already applied for an organization. Not anything fancy, but its got promise. If it takes off, I'd be there when it happens. If it doesn't, then that's fine 'cause I have friends there and I'd still be helping the Mother Nature anyway. Graduation's around the corner, just had to finish a few projects and then that'll be it. I lead a pretty average life. I had a loving family, more or less. Pa wasn't there most of the time though. My sis, we loved each other but we weren't that close. Sometimes I feel Ma smothers me too much. No family is perfect but that's mine and I love it. Now that I think about it, we only respected each other because we mostly kept to each other. Hmm. Then there's Pauline. Sweet Pauline. She was a tomboy with her short black hair and boyish clothes but she was a woman through and through. We met when we were in high school. We were friends at first and we never thought we'd end up with each other but... it just happened. Hehe, I still remember our first date. Our first kiss. I thought about proposing to her. You know, running endless scenarios in your head to find that perfect one. That was when it happened, wasn't it? I remember. I was on a train, on my way to a shop that sold the most beautiful jewelry you could ever see. I remember hearing the twist of metal. I remember me and the others on that train looking up and then a loud crash. And that was the end of it. I didn't even see the crash, you know? Just the sound. I wonder if anyone survived. My life was on the cusp. Everything I've worked for was about to unravel. So that's why I need to get back. There's a lot of things waiting for me back home. I'll play your game. I'll do what I can to help. And I don't care what you say, I WILL get back to my life. [b]Abilities:[/b] [quote=The Goddess]"Your body is already in peak physical condition. I made sure of that myself. Can't have you dying to some random angry deer, now can we? Let me take a look, and see what defines you..."[/quote] [i]Physical Conditioning: Peak human[/i] Your body is naturally tough, durable, and strong. The pinnacle of human physical strength, endurance, and agility. Keep training, and surely you can surpass even stronger beings. [i]Soul Flare:[/i] The ability to turn ones soul into a weapon itself. Needed for most basic magical feats. Channel the mana present in the air through your body to achieve great feats. Allows one to interact with supernatural things, and perceive things others may not. [i]The Starlit Path:[/i] The stars used to have a god that ruled over them. A god of travelers, paths, and guidance. His followers were once nomads, traveling from place to place seeking their fortune. He may be gone, but remnants of his powers can still be found and felt. At night, if you should desire, meditate and pray to the stars and ask a question under the open sky. They will direct you to an answer with visions, omens, and other similar things. But be careful - a general question will receive a general response. A too narrow of a question may not receive a reply at all. Ask your question carefully, as you only may do this once per night and you may not fully understand the scope of the answer or visions until much much later. Additionally, you will naturally be drawn to places of civilization out in the wilds, and you have a certain sense for something that would be immediately dangerous to you.

Probably~"[/quote] [/hider] [hider=Stuff Nick has] [i]Ancient Runestone[/i] Carved of smooth black stone resembling obsidian, this stone possesses no mystical properties that you can discern nor can you determine the meaning behind the singular description on it. A small hole was drilled in one of the corners of the stone. Still, you feel oddly calm and safe holding it. Perhaps there is something to it. [/hider]
