[ OOC INFORMATION ]
Nickname/Alias: KJ
Age: 17 on March 11!
Time zone: Mountain Standard Time
Experience: About four years, give or take a couple monthes
Question's Secret Answer: Garm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ CHARACTER PROFILE ]
Full Name: Nyx
Age: Three centuries, give or take a couple decades ((Young for a demon))
Gender: Male
Martial Status & Sexuality: Straight, not married
Species: Lower-class night demon (I couldn't find the bestiary, so if it isn't a species that is accepted... Basically, he's just a demon that takes his - small - power from the night.)
Kingdom: None...?
Profession: Mercenary
Appearance: Tall and thin, Nyx looks much like an average human. The most notable differences are the coloring of his skin, hair, pointed ears, and his night demon wings. His skin is a pale, almost gray color in the moonlight. In sunlight it just seems very pale. His hair is a deep navy blue, bangs hanging to his chin; the rest is cropped about a half-inch from his skull. On his face there are tear-like tattoos.
Lastly, his wings emerge from his shoulders and appear to be covered in dark sky-blue feathers until the tips, where you notice dragon-like wing-tips with spikes of sorts embellishing the bones in the wings.
Strengths: Some night magic, using a pole-arm
Weaknesses: Healing magic, using most weapons other than a pole-arm, endurance, strategy
Goals: To be able to become a higher-class demon; perhaps finding a purpose in life

Accessory: A small purse on his belt
Guild/Clan Affiliation: None
Relations: None
[ BIOGRAPHY ]
Behaviours & Habits: Nyx is a younger demon, and hence inexperienced in dealing with other species. His solution is to stick to the forests, coming out only for wars when his services would be of use. Permanently struck with wanderlust he moves between several seasonal homes.
For the most part, he tends to be in motion, even if it's just a shaking a hand or tapping a foot. When he gets distressed this habit of moving becomes even more apparent. He'll either pace or sit in one place and then suddenly move to another.
Personality: Being generally anti-social, the most contact Nyx has with humans is when there's a war going on. Other than that he holes up in his forest, living in whatever type of home he happens to wander across. When he does happen to come across a human he manages to come across as somewhat kind. Most of the time, though, he is left alone for long periods of time. This has given him the tendency to not speak, so even when he is in a town or city he is silent, speaking only when absolutely necessary.
History Summary: Like most demons, he was born not by a living mother, but by an eclipsed full moon on the winter equinox. The conditions were very specific; there was a terrible blizzard, and the life of a young boy was lost on the very stroke of midnight. Hence he was born. Taken in by a family of humans, he was still considered a babe by his kind when the grandchildren of the original humans died. Eventually he left, seeing the distress it was causing both his 'family' and the neighbors.
Along his way he came across many different races or varying alignment. Some were benevolent, others not so much. All taught him something, though. When most of his wanderlust had been sated for a short time, he found the forest he lives in now. For over a century he's lived like a recluse in said forest.

[ AUDITION ]
Role-Play Sample:
Wandering through the dense forest, eyes on the trees above, was an odd figure. Not only was he toting a weapon that was taller than him, but he was wearing heavy clothes in the middle of summer. And then there was the matter of the two wings sprouting from his back. Each was covered by storm-blue feathers, but curiously both ended with a bit of membrane stretched between extensions of bone. Other than that, the seemingly young man was normal. There were some tattoos, but that in itself wasn't that unheard-of.

Continuing merrily on his way, the creature stopped at the edge of a meadow. Cautiously scanning the clear blue sky, he walked slowly across the still-wet grasses. Other than caution, there was liveliness to his demeanor. Soon the source of his cheer became apparent. Leaving the forest for a much larger field, he blended into the crowd that was made up of a menagerie of species. Making stops at different booths, he made his way over to the divining tents. Stopping at a gaudy tent embellished with silver moons and golden stars, he hesitated before entering. It was one thing to pretend to know your future; it was quite different to actually know.

((If I was actually role-playing, this is probably where I would let my companion post.))
