:bulletblue: History

Nyiku's world is set in a medieval fantasy setting, so a lot of this doesn't relate to anything in Gatta.

Nyiku is known as a criminal wanted for the murder of two Nobles. However, most witnesses report him as having white hair, and mistake him for an old man. Reports also whisper of yellow eyes, but many dismiss this as a trick of the light ( yellow eyes aren't normal, by the way >_> ). Despite the dismissals, many think he is a beast or creature created from the Dark One ( equivalent to the Devil or Satan, w/e, in our world ). He travels mostly with his hood up, and is accustomed to hard conditions.

:bulletblue: Personality

Nyiku stays silent most of the time. The only time he's been known to show emotion is around Nare. His eyes are constantly shifting, looking for threats whether they may be there or not. He is suspicious of most people, especially those that show kindness.

:bulletblue: Abilities

Nyiku is a swordsman. He is trained in hand-to-hand combat, and integrates it into his sword fighting.
His sword style is not really comparable to any style known to me ( not that I'm any expert on swords or anything xD ), but it's not like any typical Samurai sword style. His style emphasizes speed, fluid motion, and flexibility, not strength. Many compare it to a dance, and the style is known for its beauty in combat.

Read the Misc. section for moar info.

:bulletblue: Misc.

A blademaster in Nyiku's world is one who has mastered the art of sword combat. The only way you would recognize a blademaster is a mark on the hilt of the sword in the shape of a cross.
Nyiku has a sword that is a blademaster's, but it is not rightfully his. It was passed down to him by an important person ( to him, anyway ) who is now dead ( go figure ). So in a sense, he doesn't deserve the sword, and is not a blademaster. However, he is still quite skilled in the sword.
Many people that see his sword do not believe that he is a blademaster due to his youth, and think him a thief.

A blademaster's sword is created from the combination of all Five Powers: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. It is unbreakable, even by the Five Powers, and doesn't need to be sharpened or polished. The fusion of all Five Powers gives the blade a unique ability: it will absorb a small amount of the Five Powers, providing a small defense against wielders of the Five Powers. The blade will not rust. The hilt can be changed according to the blademaster's preference, however the blade itself cannot be reshaped.

His right arm and leg are covered in purplish/blackish marks. It doesn't reach to his chest area or wrist, but it has spread to his shoulder area. He rarely takes off his bandages.
The cause of this is because a sliver created from Darkness was embedded into his arm*( the asterisks will be explained more below ). It is almost like a living thing and resides in Nyiku's consciousness. The mark can twinge painfully for a few seconds, but it will not spread from the spasm. It can interfere with his fighting, but there is no set time or reason to this, it's completely random.
The only time the mark will spread is when it unleashes its power. When the mark is unleashed, it releases a large amount of dark energy, which acts like a beacon to any proficient in the art of the five powers.
Not all of its characteristics are known, but it will significantly increase the strength of Nyiku's arm or leg. When the mark unleashes, it leaks a large amount of the Five Powers* in the form of Darkness.
Though the mark can dramatically increase Nyiku's power and killing ability, it comes with a price. Every time the mark is unleashed, it spreads even further along Nyiku's body. The longer the mark is unleashed, the further it spreads, which will eventually kill Nyiku. While the mark is unleashed, Nyiku is not aware of his surroundings and goes berserk.



* In Nyiku's world, the Five Powers consist of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit. Many amazing things can be done with the Five Powers, but it can only be wielded by those born with the natural ability. However, if one is not taught how to wield the Five Powers, it will eventually destroy them. There are very few who can learn the Five Powers without a teacher. Of the Five Powers, Earth and Fire are only wielded by men.
Water and Air are wielded by women. Spirit is usable by both sexes. A man can sense another man wielding the Five Powers, but cannot sense a woman, and vice versa.
Only one part of the Five Powers can be wielded by any one person. A man can only wield Earth, but another man can wield Fire. The same goes for women.

There is, however, another part of the Five Powers known only to very few. Darkness. Like the other five powers, a person must be born with this power and cannot be taught by another, even one who wields Darkness himself. If the person cannot learn to control it by him/herself, he/she will die. One peculiar attribute about Darkness is that it is completely different from any of the other Powers. Even something beyond the strength of one of the Five Powers can be done with the power of the Darkness. As wielders of Darkness don't exactly flaunt themselves, their existence is rarely known.
