Avant que Nick ne puisse entrer dans n'importe laquelle des maisons, qu'il appelait encore «dens», tout un tas de gens ont commencé à se rassembler quelque part, et bizarrement peu d'entre eux l'ont même remarqué. Il les a remarqués, bien sûr, et il a été stupéfait. Les humains... et tout ça aussi! Nick a pensé en marchant vers l'endroit où tout le monde se rassemblait, toujours dans sa forme de renard comme d'habitude, bien sûr, cela étant dit, il n'était pas tout à fait conscient qu'il avait une forme humaine, pourtant, et il s'est assis et a écouté comme un court homme crié à travers un tube en métal pour dire à tout le monde que certains approchent le mal... et ils offraient de l'or, bizarrement, pour toute preuve d'une armée étrange. Nick avait entendu parler d'armées avant, ils étaient simplement ce qu'ils appelaient un groupe énorme d'humains avec ce truc de métal, mais cette armée sombre était apparemment étrange, d'une certaine façon. C'est à peu près quand il a rappelé que le gars criant a dit quelque chose à propos d'eux détruisant une île entière... ouais, que WOULD serait cause d'alarme, et si ce truc d'or pouvait être échangé contre n'importe quoi, alors ce serait pourquoi ils offraient tant d'informations à ce sujet. L'attention de Nick a fini par se tourner vers deux humains, l'un portant une robe, et l'autre maniant une épée... il a entendu un peu de la conversation qui impliquait que ces gars allaient se battre contre ces "shadowy buggers", et d'après le contexte, Nick a compris qu'il voulait dire que "l'armée étrange" qui a détruit cette île. Nick s'est dirigé vers ces deux-là, faisant apparemment peur à quelques personnes le long du chemin, et il s'est assis près de l'épée, et a simplement dit "Si ces choses sont ce que je pense qu'elles sont, alors je vais aider autant que je peux,"
Nick ne s'est pas rendu compte que ces gens n'étaient peut-être pas habitués à l'idée d'un renard parlant, alors il s'est juste assis là, attendant une réponse pendant qu'il essayait de prendre des vues et des odeurs autour de lui. Il sentait surtout de la sueur, et il semblait que la foule de gens bloquaient la plupart des sites, malheureusement, comme ils semblaient être densément emballés dans le centre de la ville, où l'annonce a été faite. Les gens portaient toutes sortes de vêtements et de couleurs différents, ce qui sous-entendait qu'ils avaient différents rôles, ou des quantités variables de richesse. En raison du déplacement de sa ligne de vue autour de lui, il semblait probablement qu'il ne prêtait pas attention à quelque chose que quelqu'un disait, mais il attendait encore une sorte de réponse des humains à qui il parlait, plus tôt, et une fois qu'il les entendait parler, il s'assurerait de garder ses oreilles inclinées vers eux, juste pour qu'il puisse l'entendre, ignorant le fait qu'il éloignait sa tête et ses yeux du groupe était probablement considéré comme impoli pour eux. Cette puanteur déborde... d'où ça vient? Ça sent comme si ça venait de partout, et pire, je ne vois pas à travers ce mur d'humains. Attends, ils ne m'ont pas piégé, n'est-ce pas? J'espère que non, mais je devrais peut-être commencer à penser à un plan d'évasion au cas où. Nick a pensé à lui-même alors qu'il fouillait le mur des humains pour des odeurs différentes, ou n'importe où qui n'était pas bloqué par eux... une entreprise vraiment infructueuse, pour être sûr.
Name: Nicholas "Nick" (this character lacks a last name)
Appearance: While he's usually in his fox form, when he's actually in his human form (which he hasn't actually done, yet), he looks like a rather scrawny, pale, somewhat tall man. His orange hair seems to match his fox form's fur, and he has brown eyes. He typically wears whatever happens to be convenient at the time, often wearing dull-colored peasant clothes when forced into his human form. Like others of his kind, he still has his ears and tail while in human form.
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Personality: Nick is usually friendly, curious about things, and more than eager to try new things. He's also a bit too talkative for something that's supposed to be good at hiding. Ever since a certain event (detailed in the Bio section), he's had a hatred of horses, and ever since another event, he's harbored a strong disliking of wolves, not to mention people who turn into them. Nick also despises almost all vegetables, though he doesn't mind most fruit for some reason... he will, however, eat any meat, no matter how raw, even if he's in his human form, which can be dangerous for him.
Starting Class: Kitsune
Starting equipment: Beaststone, Vulnerary, Bamboo Pole
Bio: Nick was born into a rather isolated den, with few members outside of his immediate family, and fewer still interaction with humans. In fact, he's only heard them in name, and passed them off as a sort of fairy tale, something that's not real, like magic, or forest fairies. Regardless of this, he and the rest of his kin still learned what they called the 'language of humans', which Nick had to laugh at, since, again, he thought they weren't real. Once, after his lessons, and during play time, he and his sister Hannah were throwing around a bamboo pole, and, after a few rounds, Nick caught it, and a strange, armored thing riding on a horse ran by. He thought nothing of it, at first, and at first, he was more disappointed that he couldn't catch up to the thing to eat it... but then he tried to throw the stick to his sister... and she didn't catch it, ever. Nick walked over to her, only to see her dead, her pelt taken, and some sort of weird, pointy stick through her head.
He returned home with the bamboo pole, which they were using as a stick, as well as some mental scars... he thought horses were cowards, always running away whenever they saw a snake, or a moving bush, or even a kitsune, but that one... that one was out for blood, his sister's blood. He almost couldn't believe it, and the shock of his sister dying made him silent for the next five years. His parents and other siblings tried their best to cheer him up, to get Nick to speak, once more, but for five years, their attempts failed. He even refused to stray from his den, even during playtime. A few of his siblings, his mother, and his father all gave up long before he said his first words after that, and those words were "The horses will pay," this was bittersweet to his family, on one hand, Nick was speaking, again, but on the other, he just swore vengeance against an entire species.
From that day forward, he vowed to take revenge by killing any horses he saw, and, just his luck, it seemed like he had a knack for knowing where to attack them, and he's had quite a bit of success in hunting the cowardly things, though, he never saw one with another armored... thing on it, ever again. After finally speaking again, he tried to describe it to his mother and father, but they seemed to call that thing a 'human'... but that didn't make sense, those things were only in stories, like dragons and flying horses, right? A few years passed, and misfortune struck his family once more, as wolves, or something that looked somewhat like a wolf, at least to Nick found their den, and destroyed everything in sight, managing to kill Nick's big brother, and poor Nick wasn't fast or strong enough to stop the strange almost wolflike creatures, so he and the rest of his family did the only thing they could... they ran, like cowards. At first, it almost seemed like Nick was going to do the same thing he did with the horse and the thing, that is, fall silent for years, and then declare that he would make the species extinct, but, once he got far enough away from them, he simply asked "Those things are our enemy right?" to which, his family nodded, and he responded to their nod with a simple "Good,"
Nick has been wandering around in New Capita ever since that incident, and, even after having explored a decent chunk of the place, things still manage to surprise him... such as these strange, giant wooden things in the water, and dens for unknown creatures made of stone and wood. He didn't know what to call a place that had that many dens, but, he just had to get closer, right? Whatever these things held had to be interesting, just based on the design... and worst come to worst, he'd just face off against one of those weird wolf things, again, and have to run away if they're too strong, right? Nothing bad could possibly happen if he tried to enter one of these dens... right?
