Physical quirks

Shaking Legs

Nikit is mocked as the "Sperm", literarily from his infamous statement and visually from his favoured means of locomotion throughout Manidweepa.

We are not even ants to them. We're more like sperm. Their sperm.

Morality & Philosophy

Synesthesia

All ethereals, who bother to explain it, possess several alternative means of registering external information. For Nikit, he has confessed to being able to:

• Witness Folds: can see incoming reality waves
• Listen to Minds: at the start per round, if the target fails a DC 15 WIS save, the subject's mind answers any question to the best of its knowledge. The save is an automatic fail if the target is asleep
• Smell Time: discern changes in the timeline
• Shudders: detects threats within 500ft
• Taste Lies: grants advantage on WIS checks made against Nikit within 60ft

Taboos

Ethnic Origins

There is a great mystery regarding which wave Nikit Mathur was apart of. He has always been evasive in the rare instances he was asked.
Like an alphi and a delphi he possesses an interactable body. However, like an epsilonian and a thetían, that body can traverse through incal crystals.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Integrate humanity with the Ethereals

Mathur has a strong sense of empathy with all sentients around him. He sees their mental consciousness as the unifying aspect to make into a common entity. This grants advantage in WIS and CHA checks, so long as there is no mental barrier within 60ft of Nikit.

Virtues & Personality perks

Work Ethic

He works hard when his mind is committed to any the task; except when he's distracted. Although, he is not considered book smart, he is clever at resource planning and tactical maneuvering.

Emotional Health

He rarely gets overly mad or emotional and only takes important matters personally; like when dealing with his archenemies.

Personality Quirks

Word Play

He enjoys making puns and exchanging witty banter with anyone clever enough to keep up.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Mediates

Nikit has cultivated a unique position among many inhabitants among both sides of the portal, through few fully understand his nature. All a result, he has been able to bridge hostile relations or connect groups unknown to each other. Targets make a DC 15 CHA saving throw. On a fail, the target takes disadvantage on attacks against Nikit, while Nikit had advantage on future CHA checks. These effects end when Nikit is more than 30ft away for 1 minute.

Social Aptitude

Danger Seeking

Not-so-unique to complex ethereals, Nikit acts cavalier towards threats to himself.

Advantage on attack rolls, CHA, DEX and INT checks. Attackers attack on disadvantage.

Absentminded

There are moments when he under-appreciates his allies though he is always thankful to have them.

A roll on a 1, can be rerolled

Hobbies & Pets

Astronomy

He expresses a great, and often distracting, obsession with stars, moons and planets.

Maw Sailing

A dangerous extreme sport among ethereals where they surf the breath of Hothtaaz.

Speech

Choose Temporary HP Loss	Cone Size	Thunder Damage On a Failed CON
d8	30ft	2d8
3d8	60ft	6d8
8d8	300ft	16d8

Breathy Voice

When speaking, Nikit's voice is accompanied with a low hum which produces an echoy effect as he talks.
This belies a destructive power where the target in the AOE must make a CON saving throw to take just half damage. Inorganic targets have disadvantage on this saving throw.

Wealth & Financial state

A King's Ransom

Locked away in the Keep, Nikit maintains a treasury of enchanting items, a moat of crystals and a secret vault all siting on top the golden range.

Quotes about Nikit Mathur

A grandstanding entertainer with a greater sense of self importance than is warranted

He shows little respect to authority. Destroying property during his heroics while relentlessly mocking his opponents.

We can't move against anyone so well liked. He wears his fame, his notoriety and his public image like it were armour.
