Re: Character Sheets
Character Name: Nikodemius
Age: 32
General Description: A plain-looking man with dark hair and a lean, muscular build. One who doesn't stand out in a crowd. That rare ability among assassins has helped him greatly in his work over the years. Where others display more and more flare as they gain prestige and experience, he'd kept his head down, avoiding public spectacle whenever possible. So far, that had made him practically invisible.
Class: Warrior
Weapon: The Dagger of the Vrykul, and a plain short sword.
Weapon description: The dagger of the Vrykul is a legendary item, said to possess the power of the Void, a dark all-consuming negative force. It allows the wielder to steal the life essence of those he slays with it, prolonging his life and healing his wounds. What's more, if the wielder slays a disciple of the void with it, and performs a certain ritual, that person will rise form the dead moments later, encased in black armor, as a Vrykul, and undead creature that consumes the souls of others to maintain its wretched existence. Fortunately, Nicko has no idea what it is that he carries, other than that it is clearly a weapon meant more for ritual than battle, and that it seems to make him feel stronger whenever he makes the finishing blow with it.
Biography/History: Nikodemius has been in the assassination business for the better part of two decades. Though, due to his preferred modus-operandi of never being seen or heard, he rarely gets credit for his work. So far, he's had no problem with that, so long as he gets paid. His reputation hasn't spread very far, as he's yet to kill anyone truly important, but on one occasion, he was hired to kill a collector of ancient artifacts. Along the way into that particular mans bedchamber, he'd found an odd dagger sitting in a glass case in the corner of his collection. For reasons he couldn't explain, Nicko had taken the dagger, and killed its previous owner with it.
Over the next two years, his style had remained largely the same, killing his targets silently and without public notice. Strangely, despite the passing of his thirtieth year, he hadn't yet begun to feel the slowness of age creeping up on him as so many others of his chosen profession did. The few who knew Niko noticed this as well, but he never offered any comment on it. Of late, he'd rarely spoken, save when dealing with prospective customers, which some noted as strange, even for him.
As to how he'd come to be an assassin in the city of Dall, well, no one really knew that. At least, no one other than Niko himself, and he certainly wasn't telling anyone.
