Name: Nicholas
Nicknames: The Slide
Age: 4
Gender: Male (cannot reproduce, sterile)
Desired Pack: They will all be united, beneath the almighty grace of the ancestors and gods!
Rank: The Enlightened One – he will be the savior of all wolven-kind
Looks: Nicholas has what most will find as a startling appearance. He does not look at all what is considered “normal”. Not even within Aelyn’s standards. Every inch of Nicholas’ body is completely hairless. His skin is like that common to many canines, a dark gray. It’s not a gray that contains the color of blue; Nicholas’ skin is void of any hues or saturation. Because he is void of all hair, every prominent joint and fold of skin is visible. From a distance, he does not even seem like a wolf, or even a canine. With no shaggy fur or mane to give his form bulk Nicholas appears almost reptilian. But with a close look, it’s easy to see that he is pure wolf. The only anomaly his body owns are his crude bat wings, but wings are quite common among wolves of Aelyn. Nicholas’ body is of medium build. His muscles have no bulk or thick knots, but are corded proportionally to what one would expect of a male in his prime. In some places it seems that his skin is too tight for his form, giving deep definition to joints and where muscle and tendon connect to bone. His ribs can be counted when one is close enough but even from a distance the processes on his spine are visible. And the fact that he always seems to hold his spine in an arch makes his spine appear unnaturally prominent. Without any fur, his ears appear to big for his skull and his claws seem longer than natural. His tail also seems snakelike from the lack of fur, but it is stiff and moves just like any other canine’s.
Power: Nicholas has a terrible and most dreadful ability. He can steal souls. The stealing of a soul enables Nicholas to remove his own soul from his body, and capture a vassal in a sort of "low-scale" possession. To steal a target's soul, the victim's soul must first be exposed. The process of exposing a soul requires a gruesome amount of torture. The souls which prove the easiest to steal are those of the weak-minded prey that a wolf would naturally encounter. Weaker prey such as mice, rabbits, birds, only require an small application of pain in order to seize their soul. While more difficult subjects such as stags, rams, or wild boars require slight more of a "personal touch". Stealing another wolf's soul is also within Nicholas' abilities, however, he has only been able to accomplish this feat a handful of times, since wolven kind has the brightest of souls, and require the most amount of torture. Nicholas yearns to practice taking another canine's soul, but canines tend to defend one another and are foolishly not willing to submit themselves to his cause. When capturing another creature as a vassal, it takes a certain number of souls (depending on the body). And the souls captured must always be stronger than the body. For Nicholas to capture the body of a hawk, he would need a number of souls that would prove to be greater than the hawk's initial soul. Once a vassal is captured, Nicholas can remain within it until the vassal dies, or until he willingly removes himself from it. When projecting himself into another body, he literally becomes the creature, be it rat, spider, or eagle. He sees through their eyes and feels through their body, while his own body assumes a meditative state. Nicholas often hides himself away, for he is exceptionally vulnerable when he leaves his own body. Any soul stolen by Nicholas is "consumed" by him, in a sense. And after it has proven its use it simply withers and is unable to venture into either realm of Heaven or Hell.
Eyes: Nicholas’ eyes are a pale, slate blue. Their color borderlines with light gray, and if one stares at them enough they seem void of all color. They always seem to hold a glint of something sinister, something wicked deep within them. But one only encounters that dark detail if they can see past the oppressing sense of superiority that emanates from his every move.
Wings: Nicholas’ wings are large and those of a bat’s. The main limb contains a total of three joints; while five smaller limbs spread down to create the frame. The skin between each limb is as thick as his hide and shares the dark gray in color. Large veins spread down through the skin of his wings, but are only visible if held up to light. Small claws curve like hooks at the end of each of the fingers of his wings, but they have no practical use whatsoever.
Personality: To understand Nicholas, you must first know his history, so it is strongly recommended that you read over that first.
To accurately describe Nicholas, one must first understand his beliefs, though, to him it is not so much what he believes, as what he knows to be the truth. Nicholas is entirely devoted to seeing through the Ancestors’ will. Those born with a need are to be served by those with the ability to fulfill that need. Only by a life of selfless sacrifice to others, can one truly obey the will of the Ancestors’ and be accepted into forever Paradise. It is a great and terrible evil to live life for oneself and to not give themselves over to others entirely. Hard work must be done to benefit the whole, so that all may survive in peace. Nicholas grew up with the truth from the moment of his birth. His mother was devoted to it and his father fought and killed countless for it.
Nicholas is entirely selfish. Everything he does is for nothing but his own benefit. He is a greedy, power-thirsty villain and always is more than willing to sacrifice others to take control of more. Now it may seem that his mindset contradicts radically with the belief system that drives him, however, Nicholas sees himself as the pinnacle of the struggle for the truth. By being selfish, he is selflessly sacrificing his place in Paradise by leading others to victory, for without his knowledge and leadership, their cause would be lost. Plus, the appearance that his nature is more “selfish” than not, can also be blamed on the aspect of his great ability. Nicholas must act as he does in order to strengthen his power as a Slide, and greater be able to help his cause. He must relish himself in torture, for it is the keystone for accessing his power. Carnage and suffering is one of Nicholas’ favorite things, and he finds a great euphoria in tricking and manipulating the enemy. Any brute who finds joy in war and death finds Nicholas irresistible as a leader.
History: The Origin of Nicholas begins long before he was born. A small group of spiritual brothers had come across the truth. ” Those born with a need are to be served by those with the ability to fulfill that need. Only by a life of selfless sacrifice to others, can one truly obey the will of the Ancestors’ and be accepted into forever Paradise. It is a great and terrible evil to live life for oneself and to not give themselves over to others entirely. Hard work must be done to benefit the whole, so that all may survive in peace.” And so they spread it quickly like wild fire through their war-stricken land. One follower of the truth stood out among the rest, a young soul with the most useful of abilities. Narev was able to steal away the minds of weaker wolves than him and commit them to fight for the truth. The brothers trained Narev from a young age, and soon his great knowledge and power granted him the title of Emperor, destined to lead the believers into victory above all. Narev’s army grew immensely with each victory and the suppression truth was spread to each land obtainable. The Emperor’s most favorite targets of the enemies were females who owned abilities of magic and sorcery. Able to control their minds, thoughts, and every action, Narev earned his cause victories even quicker.
Nicholas’ father was a brute of Narev’s great army. He fought against countless and killed many for his cause, earning himself many of the spoils of victory handed out by the Emperor. After each win, the army would always have great celebrations, using the resources of the converted land along with the prized faes. Nicholas’ father was drunk from the excitement of the battle and hard-earned victory, and sought to celebrate by spreading his seed. Nicholas’ mother was but one of the many females who followed behind the army, prepared to award each self-sacrificing soldier with the physical pleasures that accompanied them. Neither knew the other, but both had been willing, and when the proper season came, Nicholas was born, one of three out of the litter. His entire life was devoted to the truth and fighting for it, and when he came of proper age, he left home to join the army to fight for the cause.
Nicholas had been nothing spectacular; he had only grown up with the ability of flight and a good judge of personality. And he was simply chosen at random to be subject to an experiment conducted by Narev and his magic. Using the combined controlled minds of the ones with sorcery as their ability, Narev attempted to create a being that would help him bring victory to lands that still remained far out of his reach. The spell was gruesome, a magic stolen from beyond the barrier of the Underworld. With the vile magic, Narev created what is called a Slide: a creature that could steal the very souls of others, and use its ability as a means to obtain knowledge of enemies. The transformation took a gruesome toll upon Nicholas, but the end result of power was well worth the sacrifice.
Nicholas the Slide practiced his abilities in the guiding presence of his Emporer, Narev, and when victories proved easily obtainable within Nicholas' grasp, he was given the mission, to take himself to a faraway land, in order to spread the truth there, like wildfire. And as the truth shall spread, Narev and Nicholas shall meet their armies in the middle of their war path, and unite to bring peace to worlds even further away.
Other: If you have/ would like to create, a character to share Nicholas’ cause please let Punk know! :3
Parent Description: Father: The seed of Nicholas came from a rutting pig, a brutish male good for nothing more than killing and breeding. His father had a thick build and tight hide; scars from countless battles blemished his gray skin, but were hidden beneath shaggy, ragged fur. The color of his coat contained only two tones, and neither was unique. The lower tone of his feet, belly, and chest was only a small array of light tans, while the upper coat was a faded dark brown, like that of a rotting tree.
Mother: The womb in which Nicholas was carried was of a female who was nothing close to attractive. She only owned enough looks to be taken to the bed of a battle-drunken brute, who would have just as willingly celebrated his victory with a captor of another species. While her frame appeared to be naturally built thin and frail, her midsection, face and neck carried extra weight. Her eyes were a sour green, and always held the hint of a sneer, as if the entire world owed her something.
Mate: none Pups: none
Zodiac Sign: Leo
