Reserve: Nyx's reserve
Character Info
Character's Name: Nyx Ulric
Character's Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Character's Age: 32
Canon Point: The moment Nyx makes his deal with the Ancient Kings to use their power.
Background/History: Nyx's wiki page
Strengths:
Endurance: Nyx is in peak physical condition as a member of the Kingsglaive, but even among his peers he's exceptional. The magic they use is incredibly taxing and it's standard for even veteran glaives to become sick upon using it, but Nyx can use magic in succession for long periods of time without any apparent drawbacks. He has also been shown to walk off an extreme amount of damage, like being thrown into rock structures or buildings.
Heroic Bearing: Nyx is a very loyal and straightforward man. He knows his duty and he goes above and beyond what is expected of him. He'll take extremely dangerous risks to save someone because he takes his oaths very seriously and doesn't want to lose anyone that matters to him. It's not easy to overlook him. He seems to show off a lot at first glance as his rare talent for using the Royal Family's magic is a lot greater than most.
He's generally good humored, and in some respects he seems to have fun in the midst of battle against monsters twenty times his size. If he feels fear he doesn't show it, and doesn't hesitate to throw himself at enemies many others would balk at. He likes to play an offensive defense by killing monsters before the monsters can kill them, and is highly depended on among the other Glaives. When necessary he can step forward to lead the Kingsglaive in the absence of their Captain, and has earned their respect enough to be followed without question.
Loyalty: Nyx has very few things he really cares about in his life but those that he does he is loyal to with little question. Even when there are circumstances that upset him (ie. when the King he's sworn to makes sacrifices of his city in order to preserve an unspecified future) Nyx will still not hesitate when it comes to upholding his promises or duty. He will risk his life to save people no matter the consequences to himself afterwards, and even when all else is lost he eventually gives his life to make sure his King's last wish is upheld.
Weaknesses:
PTSD: At twenty years old Nyx's homeland was attacked by the Empire of Niflheim. His sister, Selena, was lost during the attack, despite Nyx's attempts to save his family. Twelve years later this failure haunts him and follows him everywhere he goes. He still hears Selena's voice crying out, and sometimes gets lost in flashbacks. While he's functional enough to keep it from holding him back in battle, it is the root that drives him to protect his loved ones even at the cost of himself. He needs to do better than his best to make up for a failure he can never take back.
Emotional Distance: Nyx doesn't allow himself to process his emotions in a healthy way. Emotions don't really have much practical use in his life. He has a job to do and he'll do it. He hates the Empire, and his inability to let go of the attack on Galahd means it's a longstanding anger that gets swallowed down until he's in the middle of battle and can take it out by killing monsters. Not once have we seen him so much as vent his frustrations, only take the criticisms of others without doing much to defend himself. He's not seen actively grieving for any of the losses he suffers, with exception to a sharp burst of anger when Regis is murdered in front of him, that is once again pushed aside when he's reminded of his duty. The only time he's seen to really let go is at the end when he knows he's going to die anyway.
Low self-esteem: Nyx thinks very little of himself. His self worth is centered entirely around his abilities as a soldier and skills with the King's magic. His peers call him "Hero" but he doesn't like the nickname. He doesn't deserve it, not when he failed to save his family. He's convinced that without magic he's basically nothing and it would take someone he highly respects to cut through the years of hate and self-deprecation. His own goals and needs are unimportant compared to those he cares about or believes in.
Powers/Abilities:
Spell-casting: Unlike the main characters of FFXV, Nyx does not need flasks to store his spells. He draws from a source and can cast with his hands, which gives him control over the strength of his spell.
--Fire: Self-explanatory. This spell summons fire.
--Thunder: A bolt of electricity like lightning.
--Blizzard: A sudden cold snap, freezing an area around a target.
--Cure: A restorative spell.
--Teleportation: A spell to warp to an anchor, usually a weapon thrown to where the user wants to go.
--Evasion: Similar to warping, the user can use magic to phase a step to the side to avoid an attack.
--Protect: A defensive spell, the user summons a shield between him and an enemy that's made up of interlocking hexagons. The shield can take a certain amount of damage before it breaks.
--Stealth: The user can bend the light around them to temporarily shield them from sight. Used primarily to take out an opponent before it can react.
Kingsglaive: As mentioned in his strengths, Nyx is extremely physically capable. The glaive are basically the marines of Insomnia's forces. They're trained to fight an army made up of Magitek and daemons in the middle of the night, so they must be durable, strong, and fast. He's the very picture of an elite soldier.
Other Noteworthy Traits:
-- Nyx uses magic casually, like summoning fire to hold in his hand.
-- Knife throwing master, highly accurate.
-- He likes watching cartoons in his off time
Weapons & Other Special Inventory:
On his person:
-- His Glaive armor and gear, including his kukri daggers and the knives to sharpen them.
-- The Ring of the Lucii. The ring carried by the Kings of Lucis. It is connected directly to the heart of the Lucis Caelum magic crystal, and holds within it the spirits of every King that has ever worn it. The ring grants power and, with few "worthy" exceptions, can only be used by those of royal blood.
Extra:
-- Nyx owns a board with papers and tiny things that are very important to him, including a letter from his sister and a charm that once belonged to Crowe, who died on a mission. Rather than bringing the board they're on, he can carry them in a wrapped bundle to save space.
-- A teal chocobo as a pet.
Color: A purple tinted blue. Square Enix revealed that Nyx's colour is blue to compliment the nobility of the King's official purple, and he wears a "Galahdan blue" cloth with his uniform that makes him stand out among his peers.
Sample: Sample one - This was started in September but still ongoing, with comments through the past six months.
Sample two
[ OPTIONAL ] World Aspect: Havens in FFXV are safe spaces surrounded by glyphs that prevent daemons and monsters from getting close. They are typically used as campsites overnight when traveling would otherwise be exceedingly dangerous. They often are found with deposits of elemancy nearby.
