STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:


[SIZE=10pt]+ Mental Immunity: Like other Hellyni,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nik naturally is immune to all mental attacks and forms of manipulation.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]+ Calculating: Nik plays the long game using tactics and calculations to ensure his plans whether in the battlefield or in other endeavors. While others aim to plan two to three steps ahead Nik aims for ten. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]+Syn Talisman: Just as Celeste had a slight boost in power from the Muur talisman so does Nik from the Syn Talisman. (Slight boost,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] not an automatic rank up type boost. He’s still a knight)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]- Broken: At one time Nikias was so broken he talked to himself. Now he has to deal with the Sith spirit that he’s now bonded to. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]- Sadistic: Another quirk Nikias has returned with is his sick pleasure in torturing others making them experience the same thing he once had though he tries to repress it,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] this has become much harder to suppress with his bonding to the Syn talisman.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Corruption: Even without using the power of the Syn Talisman,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias is still slowly being corrupted by its nature.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Thrill Seeker: Nik has a love for battle that could match a Spathi. His love of battle has grown immensely.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]- Siblings: Nikias loves his siblings more than anything in the galaxy and would destroy anything or anyone that stood in the way of him protecting or rescuing them.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]- Paranoid: Nikias is constantly worrying about someone else betraying him or plotting his fall to claim the Syn Talisman for themselves.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]- Recognizable: Due to his unnatural appearance it is incredibly easy to spot Nik even from a distance.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Stubborn: Like most of the others of his species Nik is incredibly stubborn never knowing when to back down in an argument and willing to push the issue till others either see it his way or change his mind.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Untrusting: It takes time… A lot of time for Nik to trust anybody hence his lack of friends outside his sibling. Everyone else are simple tools to keep at arm’s reach and use as he wills it.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]-Telepathy: While Nikias is immune to mild altering attacks and illusions this also keeps him from using those same powers.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Sense Abilities: Outside the Common Danger sense most force users have Nikias is unable to use the more advanced Force powers like Farsight,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Vision[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and force sight.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]-Dark Side Aura: Due to being bonded with the Syn talisman Nikias gives off a darkside aura that any trained Force user can sense. Even from a distance. (Yards to miles)[/SIZE]





APPEARANCE:
[SIZE=10pt]After his capture and healing by the last host of the Syn talisman,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias’ body was able to grow a few inches taller without the poison stunting his growth. The scars that once littered his body either no longer exist or are so faint one would have to look incredibly hard to see them. With the Syn Talisman now bonded to him Nikias’ skin color has changed from its pale white to an Ashen gray. Some would even say the color looks like a corpse. Deciding that the stubble that he had once sported no longer suited him Nikias is freshly shaven. His body is still in great shape and heavily defined. Without the poison in his veins Nikias no longer has the black sclera[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but still sports a pair of golden eyes from the darkside aura of the talisman. Letting his stark white hair grow long it now reaches Nikias’ shoulders. Most noticeable though is the talisman that is embedded in Nikias’ chest. Even when wearing a shirt or clothing over it[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] the talisman is noticeable.[/SIZE]



Personality
[SIZE=10pt]Nikias' personality has changed alot from the once vengeful prince that was exiled from his homeworld. at one point nikias was completely naive to the galaxy and the planets that inhabited it. every new planet he visited and every new species he met was a complete lesson for Nikias. over his time of being with the sanctum this has changed due to Nikias becoming well-traveled, though just as he had good experiences there were plenty of bad that changed him. Nikias has made great friends during his time with the sanctum that he'd easily start a war over if necessary. at the same time he has learned to hate the sith with a passion that he had never displayed for anything else. Nikias hates any that would take the life away from others pointlessly and has been known to pass harsh judgments on them often times taking their lives. Nikias' progression into the dark are obvious as now he seems to struggle in withholding his judgements of others and has even turned to hunting down the sith and force users that endanger the innocent. thankfully Nikias has accepted all parts of himself and no longer has to deal with his own broken psyche. on the other hand he's now bunking with the spirit of Sorzus syn. [/SIZE]
 
a broken man's tale

[SIZE=10pt]Nikias was the second born child. to the great king Vinikas,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] as such he did not acquire his father’s namesake instead it was passed on to his elder brother. Nikias was always in his brother’s shadow since birth[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] everything he did was compared to his brothers. Nikias wasn’t as good as a warrior[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] nor was he as charming. In some ways it seemed as though Vinikas the Seventh hated Nikias for not being like his older brother. Often times whenever Vinikas VII held meetings or threw parties Nikias was banned from attending while his elder brother was shown off to the entire kingdom and toted to be the next heir to the throne. Nikias wouldn’t have minded such things however the siblings that came after him were treated in a similar way[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and the days their father returned home drunk it was Nikias that suffered the beatings. Not his mother[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] not his siblings[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but Nikias. If an error was made on the battlefield it was inevitably Nikias’ fault.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Even suffering such treatment Nikias cared for his siblings,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] especially his older brother. He idolized Vinikas VIII as a brother and father figure. They were thick as thieves and while Vinikas did not question their father Nikias couldn’t blame him. None dare stand up to the king of Makrosia[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] not even his own children for fear of death. Just as the King of Makrosia must lead his armies to war so to must his sons join him in battle when they came of age. Vinikias VIII had served in battle since reached the age fifteen[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and so too did Nikias. The two made quite a pair on the battlefield[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but no matter how good one thought they were they could still be defeated. Even with being better warriors than the Attikans Vinikias VIII and Nikias had been trapped due to an error on their father’s part. Being taken hostage by the Attikan’s they were held hostage and used as leverage against Makrosia. During the negotiations with Vinikias VII his sons were both tortured at the hands of the Attikan’s as they tried to acquire all the knowledge the two siblings held.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Day in and day out for over a year the two were tortured,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] their hair losing its natural black color and turning Stark white. Though the only thing Vinikias VII loved more than his firstborn was his power. Not willing to negotiate the Attikan’s abandoned their task of using the two as leverage and decided to kill one of the siblings and release the other. Though not in the regular way[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but through trial of combat. They forced Vinikias VIII and Nikias to face each other and to ensure it they injected both siblings with a poison that would send them into a wild frenzy. The battle was long and fierce[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] for every attack Nikias threw Vinikias had thrown three. Vinikias was the better warrior[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] smarter[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and in the end was the kinder one as well. Breaking through the effects of the poison for just a bit Vinikias impaled himself upon his brother’s saber. Not to be a hero or to die in honor[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but to save the brother he loved. This was what broke Nikias[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] more than the torture[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] more than the poison that is in his blood. Watching his brother die in his arms is what broke Nikias.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Returned to Makrosia a broken and battered man Nikias was never looked at the same. Without Vinikias VIII to cast a shadow Nikias was recognized as his own person. As the one that had been returned by the Attikans and as such was a mark of dishonor upon his family name to have been captured by them. Much less to have not brought home his brother. The only ones to not blame Nikias were his remaining siblings. Everyone else,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] his mother[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and father despised him. When fit to return to battle Nikias was thrown into what could be considered suicide engagements against the Attikan’s. Fighting not only for himself[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but for revenge Nikias survived each one. However[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] he was no fool[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] he saw what his father was doing. He blamed his father for Vinikias VIII’s death. Now a part of Nikias plots his father's downfall to not only avenge his brother but also stop his father from waging a costly war against the Attikans. However before he could do anything he was exiled from his homeworld[/SIZE]

Tales of an Exiled Prince

[SIZE=10pt]After his exile from Hora,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias left the planet and was lost for quite some time without knowing what to do with his life. He’d been exiled till he could return with power and knowledge that would make the royal family proud and would befit his spot as First Prince of Makrosia. As such Nikias gathered what information he could and went to join the jedi of the Silver Sanctum. Nikias at first thought of the Sanctum as nothing but a group of mystics that stayed secluded in their own corner of the galaxy unaware of everything that happened in the rest of it. Nikias thought they were the type to preach nothing but peace and would let the rest of the galaxy suffer while they stayed safe. He was soon proven wrong upon his arrival at the temple of Voss. The Sanctum was more than accepting for even someone like him who never truly accepted the jedi code and he spent his time at the temple.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Nikias made plenty of friends in the Sanctum that he’d easily put his life on the line for,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and was shown that his original thoughts about the Sanctum were false. He participated in a few engagements that the Sanctum had one where they had to defend a flagship[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and the other where Nikias had been tasked with commanding a fleet. Not only these but Nikias spent his time meeting many of the other padawans and even going on an adventure with them forming the Padawan Pack. The first few months with the Sanctum was rough for Nikias as he had shown no skills in any aspects of the force. His sensing skills were so abysmal that he couldn’t even sense the presences of others or of force signatures often leaving him unknowing when he was talking to a Sith or a darkside aligned being. Eventually on a mission to stop a syndicate of criminals on the planet Naboo[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias found out his ability in the force. The only one he could truly call upon. Telekinesis[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and with the acquisition of Ganner Rhysodes holocron[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias built upon his techniques over his time with the Sanctum.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Nikias had plenty of run in’s with the Sith one of which was a certain troublesome Valkyri that Nikias has added to his list of beings to hunt down in the galaxy. The second was a Sith Lord that who had showed Nikias the strength of his rage and emotions. Through Nikias defeat at the hands of Sabine he reformed himself as a jedi that utilized his emotions to boost his skills in telekinesis and tempered his undying rage with tactics that made him dangerous on the battlefield. There were plenty of other battles in his career,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] but none as defining to his development as these. Eventually after an engagement over Boz Pity where Nikias commanded a fleet under the Sanctum’s banner he was granted knighthood by the Jedi. [/SIZE]

A king’s journey

[SIZE=10pt]Now a knight of the Silver Sanctum,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Nikias has been tasked with taking on more dangerous and complicated missions that put his life on the line more than he would like without being truly armored. So he went out of his way to contact a custom armor manufacture to craft a set of armor to make up for his deficiencies in the force. The last mission that Nikias had officially been sent on was to scout the planet Ziost as the Sanctum had already conquered the other Sith worlds. Nikias was sent to investigate and ensure that nothing suspicious was going on[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] however as him and his squad picked up they descended upon an ancient city that had been torn apart by time. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The village bore sith writings,[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] and held architecture similar to what was found on Korriban. Yet it housed creatures from ones’ nightmares[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] alchemical creations had been lying dormant in the city and when Nikias and the Sanctum soldiers arrived the beasts awakened from their slumber to assault the beings. Everyone that had accompanied Nikias was slaughtered and he had barely survived after escaping into an ancient tower. The tower was in fact one devoted to the Ancient Sith[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt],[/SIZE][SIZE=10pt] Sorzus Syn and in it the Sith Lord lived through a talisman of her own creation. Bound to the planet due to a spell cast by the Jedi she now inhabited Sorzus captured and then healed Nikias in aims of making him a host to her liking. Leaving her guard down purpose she tricked the Hellyni into killing her. Upon the hosts death the spell was broken and the talisman bound itself to Nikias making him the new host where he is now forced to live with the spirit of Sorzus Syn. [/SIZE]
