IDENTIFIABLE RACE MARKERS || The Nyphilim look like mortals on a first glance. However, taking a closer look one might notice that they are build sturdier and more agile than the average human being. They also have pointy ears and an ethereal charm that draws the mortals into them. Asides from that they can also manifest wings at will, pale or dark in colour, depending on what sort of Nyphilim they are. When a Nyphilim is involved in a fight the runes drawn on their skin lights up and fades away after use.
PERSONALITY ||
Positive
Studious
Loyal
Observant
The first and most obvious trait about Saree would be his willingness and thirst to know and to learn. The male is always found studying, trying to think up new theories and consuming them like a hungry beast. He spends and dedicates most of his time to learning, increasing his intelligence and most of all, training his magical abilities. This also shows itself when he is outside, where he carefully takes in every detail of his surrounding, sucking up the information and exchanges taking place there. For that reason he is known to be extremely detail-orientated, quick to seek out differences and compare them to each other. The subject that he interests himself the most in is; the anatomy of the races. As a mage who focusses on health Saree wishes to understand his own abilities as thoroughly as he can so that he can be effective. This also partially springs forward from his deep loyalty towards his mistress, Claudia, whom he wishes to protect on all costs. Though he usually acts aloof about his attachment it is obvious to the rest how deeply he cares about the woman as if she is of his own blood.
Negative
Prideful
Passive
Manipulative
True to the nature of the Nyphilim Saree is also prideful. He has his bouts of cockiness springing forth when he is dealing with other races. This especially grows strong when he feels that the other is trying to make him bow down, his Nyphilim blood acting up to proof anyone, who challenges otherwise, wrong. Otherwise is Saree known to be passive, not really one to engage himself with others. He prefers watching from the sidelines, observing the crowd, over having to insert himself. Unless when Claudia is involved, otherwise Saree will stand in the back and watch. This has to the effect that he wouldn't willingly help out a citizen, or anyone in need of help, when walking by pass, unless Claudia orders him to do so, or when she is found in a pinch. At last the male is, and he would admit it himself so as well, also a manipulative individual. Surprisingly to many Saree takes a likening to bending down the truth into his advantage, in front of others and even so in front of his partner, for she is known to be a little gullible and thus especially an easy target for his little tricks.
HISTORY ||
The Nett family is one of a long line of Nyphilims. They weren't known to be particularly strong, or stealthy, just average, like most, but they were known for their willingness to help everyone and everything in need and for their healing abilities. Saree, coming from such a family, that valued life above all, had these lessons ingrained inside of his mind.
While Saree excelled in academics, putting much effort inside of his studies, the boy was unfortunately not very popular with his peers. With his thirst for knowledge and his active persuasion of it they viewed him as arrogant, believing that he was doing it on purpose to make them look bad. The fact that he was a little awkward and shy made it worse, as they took it for arrogance, as the Nyphilim was known for, believing that he thought himself above them. The fact that he didn't fight back when attacked made it thus easy for others to take advantage of him, especially fellow Nyphilim abused this much.
This changed quickly, however, when he got involved with the popular Claudia Cardinale. The girl, a fellow Nyphilim and a peer, liked to wander off a lot on her own. Whilst Saree didn't like the girl much he happened to be stuck with her one day when they got attacked by a bear. The boy really just wanted some peace for once, but what he got was the opposite as he had to deal with Claudia and a bear together now. Needless to say, they weren't strong enough to hurt the bear in anyway and quite on edge of what to do. That until Saree remembered a way to make the two of them stronger, something that could possibly help them and turn the tables around. There was a price attached to it, however...
Ever since that incident, which they miraculously survived by scaring the bear off with the power they had, Saree and Claudia became partners for life, tied to each other and bound until they die. It was an unreal situation, to be suddenly so closely involved with Claudia Cardinale who used to be part of the crowd that Saree tried to avoid. However, the experience left him with a friend and an alley he could count on. He was never bullied since then, but neither did he ever have a silent moment either.
Now, years later, the two of them are close friends, knowing each other's whims and quirks. Somehow, through their differences, they have found a way to work together, covering each other up where needed. It is needless to say that the two of them both have gained a reputation within their community. Both for their relationship that kind of resembles that of a 'servant' and his 'mistress', but also for the fact that neither of them would ever hesitate to jump in front of the other to catch a bullet.
ABILITIES ||
Healing :: Runic magic || Saree mostly specialises himself in healing runes. With a Claudia running around getting herself in trouble, and most often, hurt, Saree always needs to be ready to give medical attention. It also helps that it is a field he is interested in and pursues a medical career. Like with most magic performed by the Nyphilim they are required to draw runes on their skin, or that of another, in order for it to be effective.
Protective charms :: Runic magic || Barriers, blessings, shields, etc... The young man soon found that, he needed to cover up the holes Claudia left with her aggressive and upfront way of fighting. Seeing that he wasn't one to engage in confrontation either, rather avoiding them, the decision was quickly made that he was to focus on defensive runes. Where Claudia attacks, Saree supports, watching the back of the female while he prepares.
Ranged :: Guns and the likes || Saree always stays in the background. He lays down the defence, observes from the shadows, and attacks from the back when needed. To suit this style the Nyphilim has trained himself to be a ranged supporter, specialising himself in ranged weapons such as guns, bow and arrows, slingshots, and the likes. When possible the male carves runes into the projectiles, to maximise their effects.
Foraging :: Matter of survival || With the amount of times Claudia loves to wander off into the wilderness Saree had to teach himself how to survive in there. Especially after the attack of the bear in their youth the male became especially cautious. Luckily, as studious as he was, he quickly studied up the needed information and managed to apply the theory into practise. Nowadays he is a lot more confident in his survival skills, having developed a keen sense and a good eye for edible herbs, clean water, tracking, and seeking for cover when needed.
Bond :: Claudia Cardinale || Sometimes it happens within the Nyphilim that they decide to bond themselves to a partner. It is a life-long bond that ties their powers together and support each other in health. With a bond Nyphilim can combine their power and make use of stronger and rarer runes for their magic that is usually impossible to be performed by a single Nyphilim. A bond is created when the Nyphilim draw the rune for it on their partner's skin and vice versa and can only be done once in a lifetime. This rune always stays and lights up every time one of the partners is involved in a fight. When the partner is in danger the mark will burn and intensify as they get hurt. Some of the advantages of a bond is, asides from the extra strength, they are extra perceptive of each other, feeling automatically drawn to each other and intuitively knowing where the other is located when they aren't together. The most morbid effect of the bond is, however, that they are literally tied to each other for life. If one of the bonded Nyphilim dies the other will go with them, feeling a sting as the rune lights up one last time before fading away from their skin. It is a messenger of death then, for the other one is soon to follow. Bonded Nyphilim are never allowed to become romantically involved, for this is considered to be cursed. The bond between two Nyphilim is meant to be strictly meant to support one another in battle, and shouldn't transcend beyond that.
