Appearance

Physical Description

Tall, thin, solid white from head to toe, with slightly out of proportion limbs and fingers. He is rarely entirely in his normal form, usually impersonating someone else, or at least in some sort of altered form.

Body Features

Completely white. Possesses no body hair (though can grow some temporarily with his shapeshifting).

Identifying Characteristics

His eyes glow green in the dark no matter what form he takes. Small scar on his left eyebrow.

Physical quirks

Ambidextrous, though mimics the handedness of whoever he is imitating. He is unnaturally flexible, and was considering becoming a contortionist or escape artist for a while.
When he uses magic, his eyes turn pure black for a few seconds.

Apparel & Accessories

Prefers to wear loose clothing and long, loose, hooded robes that can fit most body shapes. He always wears a necklace with a white gemstone. This necklace is his spellcasting focus, and he has owned it for as long as he can remember. The gemstone glows very faintly, and is shaped like a D10, but is covered in strange symbols instead of numbers.

Special abilities

Shapeshifting and sorcery

Mentality

Personal history

During adolescence while living in the orphanage, his powers of sorcery and shapeshifting both manifested overnight, both on the same night. He woke up, bone white from head to toe, with disproportionate limbs and fingers. The room's temperature was changing unnaturally, and his fellow orphans were huddled in the corner, cowering and crying in fear of what they saw before them. The owners of the orphanage told him they would "accept him for what he had become", but that statement alone told him that it wasn't true. They constantly treated him like he was dangerous, something to be handled carefully, and would blame anything they could on him. The other orphans, meanwhile, were quite up front with their opinions on him, labeling him the 'Hound of Ill Omen' and all of them, even his closest friends, treated him like an animal, even after he had learned to look human again.
It wasn't long before he first lost control. When a sorcerer tries to suppress and hide their powers, they occasionally show themselves in uncontrollable, and sometimes explosive ways. It happened suddenly, a burst of pure darkness, extinguishing every source of light in the orphanage and leaving ice crystals and frost on everything near him; And giving the nearest child frostbite on his arm. It wasn't anything that couldn't be fixed, but nobody cared. They didn't care about what he once was to them, they didn't care that he was still an orphan with nowhere to go, and they didn't care that they should have helped him through it all, not forced him to suppress it until it explodes. The owners kicked him out, nobody heeding his pleas for forgiveness. At the very least, they were considerate enough to throw his belongings after him, believing them to be contaminated with something.
Since then he has lived on the run, deciding to utilize his shapeshifting for his own gain, while continuing to suppress his sorcery; Which continues to cause him to lose control every so often, forcing him to flee the town when it happens.

Education

Received an incomplete basic education until mid-adolescence when his powers first manifested. Everything since then has been self taught.

Failures & Embarrassments

Any time he loses control of his sorcery, or is seen using his shapeshifting.

Mental Trauma

Once saw a blood moon that nobody else could see for a split second. He believes it to be an omen, and has developed a fear of what it could mean, and by extension, a fear of blood moons. He has an odd aversion to the moon in general, becoming uncomfortable or uneasy when under it's rays. The intensity of this sensation changes depending on the phase of the moon

person.sexuality

Varies with his form, normally straight

person.gender_identity

Varies with his form, normally male. Gender means little to a changeling, as they see it as just another feature to change on a whim.

Known Languages

Common, abyssal, infernal

Personality

Motivation

Wants to learn more about the origins of his powers. Wishes to find a place where he doesn't have to hide.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves: Impersonations, impressions, fun
Likes: Other changelings, gullible people, art, money, robes (preferably loose, hooded, fancy ones)
Dislikes: dwarves, tight fitting clothes/armor, almost any sentient race he can't turn into, things that aren’t fun
Hates: NPCs knowing he is a changeling, running out of spell slots, very sudden split second decisions (even worse if they are important ones), being poor

Vices & Personality flaws

Feels a desperate need for any kind of companionship, but fears that anyone who grows too close to him will hate him.
 
His player.

Personality Quirks

Tends to fidget. He often hunches his shoulders a bit, and noticeably more when in battle. He usually either walks slowly as if unsure of where he is actually going, or faster than necessary.
 
All of these are traits that he has in his normal form, and they are all changed depending on who he is impersonating, or if he just doesn't want to keep them if his current form is made up.

Hygiene

He bathes when possible, and keeps care of his true form (trimming his nails and hair, etc.). His other forms will mimic the appropriate hygiene for the situation.

Social

Birthplace

Unknown

Contacts & Relations

Employed as an entertainer for the Silvergraft family. Nix treats the whole family with respect, and always has to be careful in casual conversation with them, as all of them possess very sharp minds and are master negotiators.
 
Nix treats Barakas with utmost respect and authority, and tries to keep his conversations with him more serious when not performing. Despite Barakas' presence putting Nix slightly on edge, they do enjoy each other's company.
 
Nix treats Rieta with equal respect to Barakas, though their conversations are often much more casual, friendly, and sometimes jovial. Nix isn't afraid to crack as many one liners as he can think of when conversing with Rieta.
 
Nix and Calliope have become good friends over the years that he has been working at Whitefall. Nix has developed feelings for her, but makes no attempts to find out if these feelings are mutual. He settles for enjoying their conversations, as he knows that he will eventually have to leave Whitefall. At this stage in his life, the thing he fears above all else is losing control of his powers again and having to flee the estate and everyone in it that he calls a friend.
 
Nix is always wary of Magni. The boy's appearance is almost unnaturally neat, and his talent for manipulation is almost scary. Nix also knows that if anything happens to Magni, Barakas will hear about it. Admittedly though, Magni's dedication to the winery is admirable.
 
Besides Calliope, Nix probably enjoys talking with Modi the most. Despite Modi's laziness, he's a great kid, and he's always been far more interested in Nix's stories than anyone else, to the point that Modi often seems disappointed if Nix's chosen routine for the night isn't a storytelling one.

Honorary & Occupational Titles

Believes that the korollian pantheon exists, but doesn't much care for them. He particularly hates the god Di-em, the god of luck, as he believes Di-em has been using him as a plaything his whole life.

Social Aptitude

In his true form he is extremely introverted, avoiding social interactions at almost any cost for fear of judgement and rejection from others.
 
In most other forms, he can be very charismatic, outgoing, charming, and as extroverted as he needs to be. His mannerisms and etiquette can change on a dime depending on his form and current situation.

Hobbies & Pets

Spends his free time drawing/painting other people, writing in his journal, practicing instruments, or writing/rehearsing skits.
