LC: Nichye

☩Name: Nichye Enryn Folke

☩Nicknames/Alias: Nic, Nef, Jester Boy, Troublesome

☩Gender: Male (ambiguous under his masks though)

☩Age: 31

☩Race: Jaebrin ( Monstrous Species (fey) )

☩Height: 4’11” (150 cm)

☩Talents:

|Entertainer of Many and Most|: Nichye has worked his entertainment craft throughout his youth and, now past his adolescent years, has strolled out into the land with his ‘up the sleeve’ magician acts and his lithe fingers playing out beloved songs with his beloved Dingly Doo.

|Silver Tongue/Award Winning Actor|: Because of his blood as a fey and the specific line of fey he is of, Nichye needs both the ability to lie and act well. While he is still young by the standards of the fey, he is a fully grown Jaebrin and is talented enough to pull the wool over many a creature’s and human’s eye without detection. He does, though, having a problem with realizing when the jig is up and he needs to run or bargain for his life... something he still needs to work on.

☩Abilities:

|Enchantment Tolerance| (Tier 2 magic/natural ability): Inherited through his Jaebrin blood and, though still on the young side, and his own experiences, Nichye has grown immune to the basic enchantments of youths (tier 1 enchantments) and has a fair tolerance to many higher level enchantments (teir 2 enchantments) but hasn't lived long enough to deal with those far far stronger and wiser than himself (tier 3 enchantments)

|Falsely Enchanted| (Tier 2 magic/natural ability): Along with the inherited ability to ignore most enchantments, Nichye enjoys the Jaebrin ability to absorb the magic from them and reflect the intended effect through his aura and actions. This trickery is taught and handed down through the generations of Jaebrin to keep themselves from being used as fools and tools. Someone of higher power, though, would likely be able to tell when it’s real and when it’s fake, despite Nichye’s talent in bluffing.

|Persuasive “Nip”| (Tier 2 magic/natural ability): or love bite... or hickey....... Whatever Nichye would decide to call it, when someone gets in range of his lovely collection of needle like teeth and he’s in the right mood, Nichye will bite you without causing much damage... physically. Depending on the strength of the recipient, their willpower to any suggestion Nichye makes or mental magic (see Charm) he casts in quick succession is lowered. The full effect will be discussed between roleplayers at time of incident. It is to be noted that bites are hard to land if the other party is not already seduced so this is not a combative ability.

☩Magic:

|Charm (Tier 1 magic/adept)|: A simple charm spell, something that Nichye will use to literally charm his way through paying a bill for a feast or charm his way out of a fight with some trainees looking to bring in some interesting looking “human” for questioning. As charm is not a mind control, it instead makes Nichye seem to be saying everything right and words in a manner they would see a trusted friend’s. This does not work well or at all against high leveled spell casters or creatures/humans of strong will.

☩Enchantments:

“Rusty” (Tier 1 magic/adept): An even simpler illusion placed on his rapier that he has affectionately taken to calling “rusty” for this rust covered illusion that makes it looked like a horribly taken care of piece of weaponry. The look on it, though, could be quickly pointed out as suspicious if one looked at the man’s well taken care of appearance, equipment and other small weapons.

☩Faction: The Sanctuary

☩Occupation: Street Performer/Jester/Entertainer

☩Equipment:

Many Masks: Nichye has collected a fair number of masks, adding them to his collection. Most of them he hasn’t taken the time to name nor does he have any special connection to. Others, though, he enjoys greatly out of humor or memories, and these ones have gained names:

Guardians of Parody: The guardians and protectors.... from everything it seems, but Nichye thinks they have a stick up their rears and it needs a shift removal, volunteering by giving them a reason to smile behind the masks they seem to cherish.

“Simple” Black Veil: His black veil, while not really having a “name” per se, is his basic and default ‘mask’, covering his mouthful of needle teeth and hiding the easiest sign of his non-sidhe-ness (what he passes off as easiest) from prying eyes.

Doctor’s Nose: A comedic take on the beliefs of plague masks being useful, this piece is made to make people shiver and laugh, depend on the lighting and the story going with it.

Jester Mask: A high class performance mask, decorated and gifted to him by a person from a cherished memory. If harm were come to it, beware as harm would them come to you.

Split Personality Mask: When Nichye is among the children and telling stories, this is one of his favorite masks to pull out, as he can give the classic impression of a theater actor with it’s comedic look on one side and distressed look on the other.

Juggling Balls: A set of five brightly colored balls that are used for juggling. Very hard and would hurt if Nichye were to throw one at you … by accident of course~

Marina: A marionette that Nichye was continuously introduce as his lovely assistant. She is the only one he has that is fully painted and clothed while the others are faceless and bare.

“Dingly Doo” the Medieval Vielle: 5 stringed string instrument that Nichye performs songs with, though usually as a duet with the local bar of the night’s lovely singer, as his lisp embarrasses him when he tries to sing.

☩Weapons:

Boot Knife: When in doubt, kick them between the legs with this. Either way, precious parts will get hurt.

Throwing Knives: Nichye, surprisingly, has pretty good aim....

“Rusty” the Rapier: His illusioned sword, Nichye has affectionately taken to calling his rapier “rusty” for it’s faked appearance. It’s actually very well take care of and razor sharp, a parting gift from his master’s patron.

☩Character History:

Born to a “standard” pair of Jaebrins, Nichye fell into the arms of a pair of court jesters who had yet to be thrown from the fey noble’s courts. He learned from a young age the art of laughter and performance, first from his parents and then from a tutor, a different fey that enjoyed entertaining the high court while under their enchantments. Nichye took to his role as a jester easily, charming the ladies with his youth and supposed naivety.

When he reached the age of 21, the fey patrons were starting to realize that he was truly one of his blood, a jaebrin, and one that wasn’t affect by their charms anymore.... Like many at that time, he was replaced, not given the position of head jester like he was supposedly ‘destined’ to inherit from his parents and master... But instead of wallowing in grief and becoming bitter to these high fey, Nichye saw this as a way to learn and have fun and so made his way into the wilderness of the Land of Stillness...

He wandered on his own for a few years, collecting things and learning the ways of the bard and the many lore of the Land. Nichye found, though, traveling alone was nice... but dangerous. When he was still mostly new to the thought of needing to protect himself at night, he was found staying too close to some training camp of one of the too radical thinking groups... Ordo or something... Either way, the young fey learned his lesson to hide his features better than he had been.

Far more scared than he had been before, Nichye traveled on before coming across the rumors and legends of the Mother’s Sanctuary.... Something about it and the tale drew the performer to it. After spending some time inside the walls, he decided that he would continue traveling, not allowing himself be trapped inside the walls. His goal was to locate the location of each door from the outside, performing and having fun with each and every person he met along the way.

☩Personality:

A trickster, a liar and a performer through and through, Nichye loves the attention of a crowd but hates the attention of a sword, always ducking away from a fight and hiding when things get too sticky for his tastes. He’ll perform for a crowd or entertain you in a much more private setting - given you are able to pay his... more than reasonable fee. Love, though, is a foreign concept to him as is modesty, since he’s been called narcissistic by many that know him. Nichye wouldn’t mind learning a few more magics to hide what he sees as snags in the business of entertainment - as his row of teeth tend to put off the right crowd and draw the wrong one. Opportunistic? Yup. Cowardice? Sure. Modest? Not a chance, love~

☩Likes/Dislikes:

+ money, jewels, finery
+ food and drink
+ Freedom
+ Good humor/ a good joke
+ Mental/Verbal Battles

- spending his money … at all
- Being trapped in one place
- Sticks in the mud
- Being forced into a fight
- People disrespecting/breaking his stuff

☩Other:

~Like many of his people, the rows of needle teeth cause Nichye to have a rather odd lisp and, while this only stops him from singing in public, he usually will take it to a comedic effect and pluralize words unnecessarily.

~For someone so small, he will out eat a troupe of a dozen warriors as well as out drink them, sometimes making it a bet so he doesn’t have to pay for such a tab.

~ The encounter with the extremists has left him scarred, creating easier to use reason to hide his lower face and more a reason for Nichye to try and learn basic illusions.

~Despite his wishes and attempts at training, Nichye still rather sucks when it comes to combat. Think the saying he uses as an excuse is “Lover, not a fighter~<3”
