[fieldbox=Nyx Norost, purple]
Name: Nyx Norost
(Nyx is the primordial Greek goddess of the night. Norost is Slovenian for Madness. Her name translates to Madness of the Night)
Color: Plum
Age: 17(Physical), 200+ (Actual)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bi-sexual
Race: Human
Appearance:
Semblance:
Masquerade - allows her to create highly believable illusions that affect any living creature. These illusions can be used to confuse opponents, torture them with their worst fears or even make the illusions become reality for a short amount of time. This can be so potent that her targets are likely to succumb to madness. Needless to say, robots like the Atlas Knights or Penny are unaffected by this.
Weapon:
Sidewinder - a pair of hybrid weapons that could turn into a sword, a whip or a lance. Its side are encased with numerous barbs sharp enough to cut through concrete like butter. In sword form, the blade is used mainly for hacking much like a saw. In Lance form, the barbs gather around the tip of the lance to form a pointed, thorny blade designed to impale enemies, latch on to them, and take away large chunks of flesh once the user pulls the lance. In whip form, Sidewinder becomes elastic, except for the handle. It can be used to latch on to objects, pull targets towards her, or effectively attack from afar. In all three forms, dust could be used in sync via a special container located at the weapon's hilt. Furthermore, during whip form, the barbs can be shot out to opponents, making a torrent of deadly puns... err blades rain down on them. The barbs are replenished when Nyx encases them in a special sheath that serves as ammunition.
Personality:
Vengeful - 200 years ago, when she had been part of the evil Team ARSN, she had only one goal, to take vengeance upon the people who murdered her family, the Royal Family ruling Mistral. She had committed countless of atrocities in the past just to get her vengeance but one of the Pillars of Remnant and a royal knight of Mistral, Tiara Telesma Pendragon, stood in her way. In the countless times they had crossed blades, Tiara managed to slowly thaw her cold, frozen heart and make her realize that taking revenge would prove that she is no better than those who murdered her parents. Now, she considers taking a grudge an old habit of hers. She may no longer be as murderous as she had been in the past but she still wouldn't let you get away with it should you ever cross her.
Supportive - Behind Nyx's cold exterior, is a very supportive individual. It may not be apparent due to her history, but she would always lend a helping hand to those whom she deem as her comrades. Among the group, she can be seen as the "Onee-chan" type of character in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The former being her more than a hundred years older than her teammates, and the latter because she likes people depending on her.
Sadistic - A trait that she admits has been ingrained to her ever since she joined Team ARSN, Nyx likes to use the most painful methods possible to kill her targets. Whenever she is in a life or death battle, this nature of her filled with bloodlust and the desire to inflict pain takes over though nowadays, it is more like an itch that could be ignored than an instinct that must be fulfilled.
Tomboyish - Nyx had always been a bit of a rebel ever since she was a child. Ever since she could remember, she hated wearing dresses, opting to wear men's attire instead. She'd willingly trade away her dress for a trench coat, or overalls. She always hated being forced to act like a prim and proper lady hence, she developed into a person that is the polar opposite of that ideal. As a result, she acts more like a man than a woman in most situations, e.g. using the men's restroom instead of the women's restroom at times. Despite this, she still wants to have a family of her own someday.
Protective - Nyx is extremely protective of those she cares about. This is due to her desire to have a loving family, a desire that outranks her thirst for vengeance in the past. In the first place, it was this desire that gave birth to her greed of vengeance because her parents were murdered before she could attempt to fix their relationship with her. Consequently, she has become quite protective of her comrades, to the point that she considers them as family.
Brief History: Born to a noble family in Mistral, Nyx enjoyed a pampered and luxurious life. She had everything that a child of her age could ever dream of... every material thing that is. See, while she could have the most fashionable dress, the finest toys or have songs written specifically for her with the snap of her fingers, what she wanted cannot be bought by all the world's riches: the love and affection of her parents.
Her parents held a high position among the members of the king's court and were well respected by their fellow nobles. However, upon realizing that the King of Mistral was neglecting his duty in providing for his people, they decided to take actions against him secretly. Unfortunately, one of their co-conspirators, a fellow noble and a trusted friend betrayed them by revealing their plans to the king who ordered them to be assassinated.
On the night of Nyx's 12th birthday, the entire Norost household was in celebration. For the first time in a while, Nyx's parents took a break from their work to celebrate Nyx's birthday. Needless to say, she was overjoyed by this sudden turn of events. When she was asked by her parents what kind of present she wanted, she told them that all she ever wanted was for everyday to be her birthday. She was asked again why she wished for that and her reply was so they "would be there for her everyday". Overwhelmed by emotion, her parents promised to prioritize her more than their work so they could spend more time with her. They were never able to make do with their promise.
A few minutes passed when a couple of masked assailants broke into their home. The Norost estate's bodyguards proved to be ineffective against the attackers. Within a few minutes, all of them have been eliminated. Nyx's parents urged her to run but it was too late. She, along with her parents had been captured... however, Nyx's nightmare had just began. Instead of killing the little girl right away, they decided to break her very spirit first. To accomplish this, one of them slowly killed her parents right before her very eyes while the other made sure that she was forced to watch. They told her that this was the fate of all those who try to oppose Mistral's sovereignty. They also told her that her father's friend betrayed her parents after being guaranteed a high position withing the royal council. When the time came for her to suffer the same fate as her parents, something inside her snapped like a broken cord. Then, she locked eyes with her parents' murderers and unconsciously gave them a fate worse than death... madness.
After what had happened, she hastily buried her parents' bodies in the backyard and immediately left mistral knowing full well that she could never be safe there any longer. Before she left, she vowed that she would avenge her parents one way or another.
Wandering an area outside the four kingdoms at the time was considered dangerous due to the infestation of the creature's of Grimm. Doing so alone is nothing short of suicide. But this was the only choice for Nyx. Nobody that she or her parents knew could be trusted. All of them would betray her in a moment's notice. As if fate was toying with her life, a reconnaissance force from Mistral found her and they were hell bent on capturing her. Apparently, she had been framed for the deaths of her own parents and they were sent to capture her so the Royal Council could bestow proper judgment upon her. As they moved in closer to capture her, she she attempted the same trick she had performed back at her parents' ruined mansion. She managed to successfully turn a couple of the soldiers insane but not all. She was forced to flee but ended up running into a den of beowolves. With beowolves in front of her and Mistral's soldiers behind, it appeared that her fate had been sealed. But a sudden flash of light appeared out of nowhere, blinding everyone in the area, including Nyx. When the light had disappeared, the beowolves had already began dissipating while the soldiers from Mistral were turned into nothing but ash.
She was terrified about what had happened and who could have done this but a gentle voice called out from behind her. She turned around, following the direction of the voice, only to come face to face with a blond boy that was about her age. He introduced himself as Apep Mortimer, and made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Aside from promising to take care of her and give her a new home, he promised to train her in using her abilities so that she may one day take revenge on the sovereignty of Mistral. That was the day she joined Team ARSN, the team who sought to burn all of Remnant.
For the next several years, she, along with Apep Mortimer, Rust Toplum and Sloth Vaciller would commit heinous crimes that would shake the four kingdoms to its very core. Throughout all this, a group of "heroes" stood in their way known as Team SCLT. They were the realization of the attempts of the Four Kingdoms to unite against them and the threat of the Grimm which ARSN was using to their advantage. Among the members of Team SCLT, Tiara Telesma Pendragon, a Royal Knight from Mistral, and her childhood friend became a thorn to Nyx's side. Each time they faced each other, she would try to make her see reason and abandon her quest for vengeance. And each time she pushed her old friend away. even when the time came for Nyx to take her vengeance upon the King of Mistral, Tiara managed to slowly thaw her cold, frozen heart and make her realize that taking revenge would prove that she is no better than those who murdered her parents. She spared the king's life but continued to be a part of Team ARSN until the end.
In her final battle with Tiara, she was mortally wounded by her childhood friend, who instantly regretted what she had done. Only in her final moments did she realize her actions wouldn't have made her parents proud of her at all and wherever they may be, she was certain they were only feeling shame towards her. Nyx swore upon herself that should she ever be given a second chance, she would try to live her life correctly.
Now 200 years had passed since the 8 pillars of Remnant saved the continent from the threat of the Grimm and team ARSN. For some reason, Nyx woke up inside a cave with her other teammates. Apep told her that he used a similar method to what his "brother" Spectre did for his teammates and their resurrection would herald the realization of their goals.
Recalling her sworn oath to stray from the path of darkness, Nyx decided to betray her comrades by subjecting them to their worst nightmares before fleeing from the very people whom she had once considered as family. Now her journey begins anew... a journey of rebirth and redemption.
