Biography
- Father passed by a severe illness, and his mother with the same illness passed giving birth to him. He lived in Mecrundyr with his "Uncle" Namar, an elf, known as a great assassin in the southern hemisphere of Yismel in which he hid from Nalan, and attempted but failed to persuade Nalan as his successor .
- Was shoved into the world, when his uncle left him with a burnt down house and no note, after realizing that Nalan was too kind to pick up on his profession. So after being abandoned he enjoyed a life of helping the poor and less fortunate. Whether fighting guards, stealing, or nursing the sick. Acting out a role of a hero, for five years and perfecting his most needed abilities through trial and error with guards or sick patients.
- He made a name for himself when, after robbing a few rich nobles to help out the poor residents and mistreated civilians, they set a contract on him. Five different masters came to take the contract individually, each event ended up with the assassins being bloodied, and him appearing on the streets with zero to little scratches. They dropped some of the contracts thinking he would come after them to remove the contracts by taking out the owner. Though he cared little of threatening them to take away the contracts since they technically weren't in the wrong for wanting their money back.
Powers/Abilities/Skills:
Jack Of All Trades
Nalan picks up on everything someone teaches him. Whether professions, languages, or customs he tends to figure it out or memorize quickly. He only tends to go so far in each field never truly mastering it all, but picks up on the basics and is able to put them to use in a situation that is in dire need of that profession. He can pass as an amateur in almost every field of expertise which helps him fit in with people and makes it easier for him to be reliable in that person instead of being a burden.
Blade Steal
As a quick learner, he notices a pattern in his opponents sword play. He can pick up on the basics of the combat style and use it against his opponent by what seems to be reading their minds, making a move that he thinks will counter their technique. He lacks the ability to use the combat style for his own, and has failed multiple times trying to mimic renowned warriors by attempting to simply copy the techniques or fit it into his own sword play.
Herb Gatherer
While he lacks the magically ability to heal, he has a very wide knowledge of herbs and has learned to cure the worse of sicknesses or treat the most severe of wounds. He has a very extensive knowledge of every plant and tree that is used in the field of medicine. He is so skilled with herbs he can make cures for sicknesses that are unknown. He lacks the ability to heal diseases caused by magic but can prolong the body in order to find a proper healer. With this skill he also knows many poisons but rarely uses them unless it's used to paralyze.
Creed of The Sorrowful
Modified version of the sword play Creed of Sin, in which a person uses short sword and a dagger. In this creed he uses two parrying daggers. His style is intended to tire out, and wound an opponent. It's a very dodgy fighting style in which he side steps and never really stops maneuvering. His techniques focus around tendons, and not kill strikes unlike the Creed of Sin. He likes to bleed out the opponent where they start to feel weak from blood loss or simply can't move, but can severely injure or kill with this technique just as easily. Though the fighting style has few flaws, he finds people with an enormous amount of brute strength hard to handle.
Equipment
Nocturne
His black dagger that flows with a black mist swirling inside the blade itself. Though he has no magical ability, at night, it can cover him slightly Darkness making him more difficult to see to the naked eye though it does not make him completely invisible, but more of a moving shadow. He can control these shadows to move to specific parts of him. He received this blade from his "uncle" when he showed promise in the assassination profession. He was tasked out to master this blade to it's fullest.
Artemis
An extremely white blade, the color is that of a blanket of snow. The metal is especially sharp, able to cut very precisely and smoothly. Most blades tend to slide off the white metal easily, but creates a friction that gives off a bright flash enough to stun the target with it's light. This is a knife he stole from a very rich noble's house during a job to get back some money the noble stole from a weapon smith through an unfair bet. He tends to cover his eyes with Nocturne just before he uses the flash ability this sword offers so he is not also blinded.
Belt Pouches
He frequently has stored herbs in sort of a liquid form to put on his blades or needles to use as a paralysis. He also has smoke bombs made from the shadow like material Nocturne gives off. Most pockets are filled with needles for numerous uses such as lock picking.
