Nycto
Name: Nycto
Age: (immortal)
Race: Freed Spirit
Story: [One Eye Sees Heaven]
Personality:
Sentient and deeply intelligent, but rarely speaks or shares his thoughts; unpredictable and somewhat moody. Capable of enormous ferocity when provoked. Nycto has a strong affinity for the spirits of the dead, which may explain his initial attraction to Heaven's Well due to it being a natural collection point for free-floating spirits. He's capable of interacting with ghosts as though they were physical, since he's technically one himself, and will occasionally 'cleanse' the well by hunting and destroying any malicious spirits within its walls.
Backstory:
A Freed Spirit of unknown origin, Nycto seems to have attached himself to a deeply magical desert sinkhole known as Heaven's Well, not far from Iram. He appears to view himself as the site's guardian, and commands a wary respect from those who regularly approach the well to gain the benefits of its properties. At some point in the past he was collared and chained within the well by a powerful mage, but despite his confinement he shows no strong inclination towards wanting to leave.
At some point he's discovered by Llir when the necromancer arrives to explore the well's dual healing/binding properties, and is freed from his captivity. Nycto finds Llir's similar affinity to the dead interesting--to Llir's more-than-slight discomfort--and decides to follow him out into the world, occasionally making his presence known to offer comments or advice.
With other characters:
Llir: a source of interest and entertainment for Nycto, whose company Llir is grateful for but less than thrilled over.
Additional Notes:
- when drawn outside the setting of Heaven's Well, be sure to include a short length of broken chain from his collar
