History: He was born to a wealthy landowner in a frontier town, living a normal and happy childhood.

Description: 5'9" and muscular, this western man is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers his face most of the time. He has dyed his greying golden hair a little too much giving a sharp golden color. His blue unseeing eyes seem to look past you.

Personality: His voice, at times compared to that of a Nymph, lambasts those who consider themselves "civilized" with snide, belittling remarks; the subtle growl he speaks with growing louder in doing so, one can find it most pronounced, despite the otherwise natural purity of his tone. The war was a terrible time for him, and Nim does not often speak of it. When he does, he does so with a strained expression and tears in his eyes.

History: He was born several months after his mother was called into army service. Cursed with unlife at a very young age, Nim has worked very hard to control his curse. He hopes to save up enough money to one day pay a cleric to cure him.
