As the land fell into dark times and people were needed to step up, he took up arms and oaths to fulfill and set out through the land as a Vagrant Knight, with no real titles or possession safe on his person. He would travel to land to help villagers and people in need and quickly made sort of a name for himself as a wandering, local folk hero of some sort. No one could ever see his face for two reason; he almost exclusively traveled and did his work at night and he also almost never removed his helmet. This is what earned him his nickname; The Owl Knight. [u][b]Anything else[/b][/u] Niall was raised by benevolent but secretive Tuathas. They did not tell him much of how he came under their care but he believes, from what he heard, that they found him lost and alone in the woods during a stormy night. His parents may have been set upon or abandoned him, it isn't known. They raised him to value pacifism and to resort to violence as a last resort. They taught him about his people and what he was and the History of this land, and of course - they taught him to fight. Not because they believed in it, but because they knew that he was a Human and could not stay on Mount Sliabh indefinitely. Not being able, or wanting, to alter his direct body with enchantments, the Tuathas created a familiar for Niall. An Owl, Gwdihw, a magical creation that had fey properties and was linked directly to Niall through a powerful magical link. It was like an extension of his person, and grants him certain abilities. They also gifted him with his signature helmet and the Lance he uses in combat, [i]The Eye of Night[/i]. [u][b]Abilities[/b][/u] Niall is a gifted fighter in general, but what sets him apart is his training and magical abilities gained through his time with the Tuathas. Niall attack most often from the Dark, taking his targets at a disadvantage, and strike with extreme speed and precision. [b][color=8882be]Gwdihw[/color][/b], his pet owl familiar who can always be found near Niall. Through it, Niall is gifted multiple magical and fantastical abilities that aid him in his quest. [b]Owl Accuracy[/b]: Niall is gifted with augmented visual prowess. He can see in the night like a predatory bird, and in the day or night he can strike with extreme precision and at high speed. [b]The Eye of Night[/b]: The Owl Knight can bring forth from his lance a magic that would resemble some sort of mist, albeit very dark, that would stretch over a certain area and simulate a moonless night. [b]Wind Magic[/b]: The ability that is the centerpiece of Niall's combat style, and used in conjecture with the others. He can use Wind Magic to to grant himself greater speed and jump higher and further. His enemies could easily think he can levitate or fly, but they would be wrong. [/hider]
