## Appearance

*"Even with this run down appearance, I'm still better looking than everyone here."*

Nosaf is of average height and weight with white hair. He has several bandages covering portions of his exposed skull. His face has no eyes nor nose. He wears a samurai gi with intricate designs. The Zombie also wears geta sandals, as well as blue stomach band with a swirling design, similar to waves.

Nosaf's mouth is partially covered by a blue scar he wears and he keeps his sword strapped to his right hip.

## Personality

*"I'm Not OLD!"*

\*Subject to change Soon!\*

As an older individual Nosaf has experienced much of life, in both bliss and heartache.

Nosaf was almost always polite and sincere, often staying formal unless verbally prompted by the other party. He demonstrated to be loyal when he remained with Jaded Hearts despite receiving offers by superior guilds to join them. As well as bravery to endure the harsh criticisms of being an older gentleman among the next generation.

However, his honor as a veteran player often lead him into prideful fits. As once triggered, he would go into a tirade about how skillful he was. He would without a moment's hesitation backup his claim, though he would offer complete rectitude should he be soundly beaten; which was sometimes the case.

Nosaf is very sensitive about his age; having been the cause of his ejection from the PVP League and will quickly become belligerent should it be criticized .

## Background

Nosaf was a late bloomer when it came to the gaming life. Prior to him joining Yggdrasil and it's community, he was happily retired having spent the majority of his youth working. Still lively in both mind and body, Nosaf sought to keep busy and thus developed an interest in gaming.

It turns out he was rather good playing among the online competitive communities. He earned himself both a name and reputation even being the first to join the newly formed Yggdrasil PVP League. However, as more and more people sought him out to challenge his position fatigue set in more rapidly than his rivals. Ultimately, he fell into a losing streak that he never managed to climb out of. He was forced to quietly retire from the League.

Though he continued playing Yggdrasil out of prides sake. Nosaf eventually ran into members of the Jaded Hearts role-playing guild. He joined and worked his way up to a leading member of one of the seven branches of the guild.

## Powers and Abilities

The Samurai Job class is bound to a set of rules in Yggdrasil or laws in the New World. Similar to a Knight, a Samurai could not backstab another creature, nor employee the use of poisons. Upon character creation a Samurai character may choose to follow a Lord or Daimyo to receive added buffs and benefits when fighting on those Daimyo's behalf. Ronin forgo those benefits and buffs and instead are granted a greater critical hit chance.

They have limited access to ranged weapons but have a large number of melee weapon options. They focus primarily in one versus one DPS but can act as a secondary tank in a group when wearing heavy armor. A Kensei is a more specialized variant of a Samurai choosing to focus on one singular weapon and mastering a more limited number of techniques based on the weapon chosen. The Blind Legend is a secret Job class restricted to only Samurai who have a penalty to Spot Checks rating at -100. Once qualified, the Blind Legend Job class grants the best skills for iaijutsu attacks.

As a Zombie, Nosaf is forced to devour the brains of sentient creatures to maintain his mental faculties. His physical strength is well above the average human. However, unlike other undead who possess average to superhuman speed, a zombie's body is in a permanent state of rigor mortis. Forcing them to walk at a slow shambling gait.

Having racial levels in both Zombie and it's superior counterpart, Frankenstein, Nosaf is listed among the top 5 players in Yggdrasil who possess such a high level endurance rating.

Nosaf's fighting style is a slow but meticulous duel. While slow mobility wise, he makes up for this by utilizing skills and items that'll either grant him a brief boost in speed or draw the opponent closer.

As a Death Knight, Nosaf is capable of utilizing magic to cast a limited number of Ice and Death magic based spells.
