Nickalas Fortuna

Name: Nickalas Fortuna

Race: Al Bhed

Hometown: Born in Baaj, but grew up in Bikanel.

Age: 19

Height: 5'9''

Weight: 145 Lbs

Appearance: Nick's build is both slender, yet toned.This is due to his frequent running and hopping about from place to place.His facial features are comprised of an average sized nose, an oval shaped face,a decently defined chin, two hazel colored spiral eyes, average sized ears that don't stand out much, and a smaller than average mouth.His head is topped with medium length, messy styled dark blue hair.His face is generally cleanly shaven, with a slight shadow beneath his chin.

Around his forehead he wears a dark blue ribbon that is tied tightly in the back.He also dons a Ninja-like blue mask that covers his nose and mouth.He only fully equips it when charged with a mission that requires stealth.It also helps with his mix ability so as to protect him from any harmful fumes his items may create.For a shirt he wears a tight, navy blue beater.On his arms he has two black metal bracers with the words Pnayg Dra Cocdas etched in gold.On his left shoulder the bracer is topped off by an extra long blood red shoulder guard that ends in a lethally sharp point.Both bracers are also equipped with a large, razor sharp claw that reaches down to the middle of his forearm.He keeps his hands nice and toasty with a pair of blue leather gloves that are nicely accesorized by a black, one inch claw on the end of every fingertip.On the palms of the gloves there are many sharp spikes that allow him to climb up walls and help him perform many of the other agile tricks of his trade.

For pants he has a pair of dark gray/black denim jeans.They're slightly tattered at the ankle line but this would be expected of someone who moves about alot and is frequently without shoes.When he does wear shoes however...he generally equips his own customized all-terrain boots.They come branded with two large metal spikes on their fronts that are released whenver he presses a button in his shoe with his toes.The bottom of the shoes also have retractable spikes for better footing when he's jumping from spot to spot or running at high speeds.When not spiked up however, the shoes are cushioned to the extreme so as to prevent any noise when he's walking around the area.On his legs are two black metal shinguards that have a large spike on their faces.Overall, Nick is a very imposing figure.

Battle: Nick's profession is that of both a Thief...and an Assassin.These two backgrounds make him a very speedy and agile fighter who is gifted in the art of finding an opponents weakness...and abusing it.He is a quick killer, and when he catches his enemies off guard...the battle has already been won.His weapons of choice are daggers of all sorts...but when backed into an unforgiven cirsumstance he is quite able to make just about anything a viable weapon.He's also highly proficient in the use of items...something that comes naturally as an Al Bhed.He has mastered the art in fact...and can now mix up to three items at once.Along with his quick footed fighting style he also knows a good deal of time altering magic.This includes Slow, Haste, Stop, and Shift.

He is not without flaws however...for he has very little defense.His philosophy has always been that as long as he can't be hit, then defense was nothing to worry about.This is generally true in his case...but because he never protects his body as he fights, when he finally does take a hit...it hurts.In this sense it is good to not put him up against any heavilly armoured foes...such as Iron Giants.Thunder spells are also a killer against him...for even someone as fast as himself couldn't possibly hope to dodge lightning.His blessed Bracers do offer some protection against magic, but it still packs a punch.

Overdrives: Tri-Mix and Last Breath.

Tri Mix allows Nick to mix up to three items at once instead of the usual two.This ability has come about by his extensive mastery of items and their uses.This wasn't so much a choice as it was a necessity with him being an assassin.This ability allows him to get out of just about any situation with the proper combination.

Last Breath is a specialized attack Nick implements with the use of his Time Magic.He stops time for whatever happens to be his foe...and calmly walks up to them with a pair of daggers.He then proceeds to slice them over and over again non stop for all of about 15 seconds.When he has finished slicing up the victim...he turns time back on and proceeds to watch the result of his actions.Generally...it isn't pretty.

Personality: Nick is Confident, Brave, manipulative, charming, and very light hearted.However...he also has little care for human life and can be abbherantly arrogant and cocky.His boldness has also been known to come across as rude, and gets him into trouble often.

Biography: Born only to witness the death of his mother...he was then taken away to Bikanel island as a kid by a cloaked traveller.When the man dropped him off at the Al Bhed's "Home." he turned his back and left him alone once again.Bitter and angry Nick had to learn to fend for himself.At the age of 13 he returned to the mainland...where he vowed to seek out his mother's murderer and the man who saved him.With very little job oppurtunities as an Al Bhed, he became a thief.

About a year later he was caught stealing from A Bevellian temple...and was offered freedom should he become an assassin for the Yevonites.He agreed, and they taught him all the tricks of the trade.After countless hits, he had perfected the class...and was now one of the most dangerous men in Spira.As an assassin for the clergy, he is allowed pardon whenever he steals to support himself.The clergy has also promised to one day give him a job that will lead him to his mother's killer...and as long as this is within sight...the clergy has Nick wrapped around their fingers.
