Or at least he used to have a pair now it's just the one.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Skin Tone:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]Pale gray, almost white[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Brief Clothes Description:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]Nym has a taste for expensive and beautiful things. He prefers to adorn himself in bright colors, fine silks, and other pricey fabrics, along with gold jewelry and precious stones. Rather than a traditional eye patch, Nym hides his missing right eye beneath a piece of silk fabric tied around his head.[/indent][/color] [u][color=1BF285]Psychology[/color][/u] [b][color=1BF285]Likes[/color][/b]: [color=C1E9EC][indent]⋆Adventure & Freedom ⋆Beauty & Art ⋆Wealth & Success ⋆The Sea[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Dislikes[/color][/b]: [color=C1E9EC][indent]⋆Betrayal ⋆Boredom ⋆Authority ⋆The useless and uninteresting[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Fears:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]⋆Betrayal. When Nym deems a person worthy he gives them his full and unbreakable loyalty, and he does not do this lightly. There is the fear that he will place this loyalty in the wrong person, someone who does not return it, and the betrayal of a friend is the deepest wound. ⋆Failure and poverty, a life not worth his time. He crawled his way out of the gutter once before, he will not go back. He knows he is meant for great things, he will not live a boring honest life, struggling through every day. Likewise, he hates to fail at anything he does. While most opinions don’t matter to him, being seen as a failure, being looked down upon does. ⋆Imprisonment, an end of excitement and adventure, absolute loss of freedom, spending the rest of his days locked away in a cage. No, this is not for him, Nym would rather die.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Sexuality:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]Panexual[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Personality:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]As an unabashed extrovert, Nym is whimsical, spontaneous, and always ready for an adventure. Many find him shallow, and he wouldn’t argue that. Excitement is a necessity, for Nym cannot stand boredom. He is often the life of the party, always ready to drink and celebrate. And that is about the extent of Nym that a casual acquaintance will ever know. He shares truths with very few and doesn’t extend trust easily. His treatment towards others is highly dependent on how they treat him and his relationship with that person. A man of dubious morality, ever-shifting to suit his needs and desires. There are very few lines he doesn’t cross. It is only for his crew or the rare dear friend that he would sacrifice for, and his well-being is generally his first concern. Most people do not matter to Nym. Above all things, even wealth, Nym values loyalty, but not to causes, morality, or any belief system. His loyalty lies only with people. It is the few people who have earned his deepest levels of respect and trust that matter to him above all else. Betrayal is never a thought for him when it comes to those he loves. Those who lose his trust, break his absolute loyalty, will never have it again. Nym does not forgive. It is no easy task to find his temper, though he is someone capable of violence it is rarely personal and he is cold and calculating about it. Professionally, patience comes easy, he can wait, he can think through situations and react logically. Personally, when situations are not about money, he has little time for patience, and acts on his whims, on what seems fun. Neither brave nor cowardly, his reactions take into account risk and reward, if the potential gain outweighs the risk he will proudly face danger. If the situation calls for him to run and live to fight and sail another day, then he will. While he carries a lot of pride it is not enough that he would willingly risk his life for the sake of pride alone. Anxiety has never been an issue for him, once he makes a choice he commits fully and doesn’t look back. Cunning and charismatic, Nym is more than willing to manipulate those around him. Most people do not matter to him, they are expendable, they merely exist. There is little in the world that he takes so seriously that it cannot be laughed at, and even jokes made at his expense are easily laughed off. While cunning and more than willing to use underhanded methods, Nym is far from a mastermind, and he has no issue taking advice from those with more wisdom than he. It would not be a stretch for others to call him insane, his outlook on the world differs from most, he can turn from a charming acquaintance to a cold and ruthless killer in an instance, and he possesses a strong narcissistic streak. His energy never seems to run low, he works hard, parties hard, and does nothing half-assed.

Some he loves, some he cares for and respects, others he doesn’t exactly like but still looks out for them the way a family does. He protects them, strives to see them succeed, and shares success with them. For Nym, this is what makes a family, not something as common as blood and birth.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Dead Immediate Family Members:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]More than he can name.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Current Companions:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]His crew.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]Current and Past Lover(s):[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]He has a variety of lovers scattered across the many ports, not that he’s ever actually loved any of them.[/indent][/color] [b][color=1BF285]History:[/color][/b] [color=C1E9EC][indent]Nym was found in the back alleyways of Port Vanarosa and taken in by the women who worked in a nearby brothel. He was raised by half a dozen mothers, amongst their own bastard children and so, from then on, he was never really alone. It was not a normal childhood but Nym remembers them all fondly and in the end, he was provided for; given food, shelter, and people who cared. Although he loved his home, and those who made it all feel like a home, many in the port town looked down upon Nym and his makeshift family. They wrote him off as a filthy street urchin, and he hated them for their easy, boring, simple lives. He grew to yearn for success and wealth, and have it all within a life that would be so much grander than folks like that could even dream of. As a child, he spent his days stealing from them and his nights listening to tales from sailors that frequented the brothel. Once he learned to steal, he learned to become self-reliant. The ideas of law and order meant nothing to him, they had given him nothing. All he had was what he took for himself, and the act of taking it made it worth something. He understood that fate would not be kind to him. If he wanted a life worth something he would have to take his fate into his own hands. He shared what he had with those who had shared with him, and everyone else was fair game for him to take from. His world consisted of allies and enemies and he made the best of it. Nym had felt the call of the seas for as long as he can remember. The need to see more than the filth-ridden streets he was born to, the desire for adventure. He joined the crew of a merchant ship as a scrawny young lad, he learned to sail, and the work made him stronger. Those he worked for were cruel, quick to punish with the lash, and he was paid very little. He was still poor, still barely above his original lot in life. His greatest stroke of fortune was the day that damned ship was attacked by pirates, and given the choice to join or face death, Nym chose correctly and never looked back. Within the pirate crew, he found a new sense of created family and a fair shot at the wealth and success he’d always dreamed of. In a pirate's life, all that was needed to succeed was the guts to take what you wanted and in this endeavor, Nym excelled. His adventures brought him to many ports, under the command of many a great captain and eventually a fortune of his very own. Throughout the years, fortune has dealt him both victories and losses, currently though he is a pirate without a crew lounging around Port Vanarosa. The last ship he sailed on encountered trouble while straying too close to The Dreaded Isles, with the ship destroyed and most of its crew dead or unaccounted for, Nym now searches for a new adventure.[/indent][/color] [u][color=1BF285]Combat and Magic[/color][/u]: [color=1BF285][b]Strength:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]8[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Speed on Land:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]5[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Speed in Air:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]0[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Magical Ability:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]2[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Dexterity:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]7[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Weapon Proficiency:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]6[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Stealth:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC]6[/color] [color=1BF285][b]Subspecies:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC][indent]Shark[/indent][/color] [color=1BF285][b]Best Abilities from Beast Side:[/b][/color] [color=C1E9EC][indent]A mouth full of sharp pointed teeth.

The ability to change his skin texture to resemble that of a shark, rough in texture and far harder to pierce than normal mammalian skin. Enhanced eyesight, sees well both in the dark and decently in murky water.[/indent][/color][/hider]
