Nico Rossi

**Nico Rossi** *(birthday: 18th September)* is a possum hybrid who partook in the Independence War on the side of L'Celsburg as one of their early members and soldiers. He used to always be seen by Kite Tomms's side, almost seeming inseparable as best friends who have explored (or wandered) together for 5 years of his lifetime.

Before his arrival in L'Celsburg in early 2020, he was a wanderer who never had an official place to stay, and was always on the move, walking to different villages, towns, and cities, alongside Kite Tomms.

## Appearance

Nico's appearance frequently changed throughout his very eventful life. His basic appearance is that he is a Possum Hybrid with Possum Ears and a Tail, green eyes, and tan skin.

### During Childhood

For the first 11 years of Nico's life, he presented as a girl, and had long hair that went down to his shoulders in a dark chocolate color.

### As a Wanderer

When Nico met Kite in an unknown village, he had hair that was still shoulder length, and wore a trench coat too big for his size at the time (he was 5'3) along with a turtle neck, black jeans, and steel-toed combat boots (all stolen from his father beside the jeans and boots). Later along his journey, he dyed his hair half orange on top and half red on the bottom, his hair still shoulder length.

### In L'Celsburg

Upon his arrival in L'Celsburg, he cut off his hair haphazardly with a knife, his hair a little outgrown at the roots at that point. He donned the typical L'Celsburg uniform along with his old trench coat that would actually fit him at that point, due to him finally growing.

### As a Wanderer (Pt. 2)

After the Independence War, Kite and Nico left L'Celsburg to return to their wanderer lifestyle, after deciding that the war was too much for them. After an argument with Kite, Nico died and respawned in an empty field, with a streak of white in his hair. After a battle with some villagers, he got an eye injury and removed the eye entirely, wrapping his sleeve over his eye as a bandage.

## Personality

alright how do i write personality??? can someone help please

## Death

Nico's first death occurred after Kite and Nico left L'Celsburg after the Independence War, where Nico was upset about the other's decision, and resulted in them arguing. Kite was unable to control her fire powers, due to her anger, and set the camp they were staying in ablaze, resulting in Kite burning to death and Nico getting crushed to death by a burning tree.

In the gap between his death and his respawn, he ended up in his childhood bedroom, and had a small conversation with the younger him (assumed to be between the ages of 10-11, due to their parents continuously banging on the door in the background of their conversation), before younger Nico sent him back to respawn, where he ended up in an empty field far from anything he recognized.

## Talents

Nico has a range of rather uninteresting talents.

### Abilities

Due to him being born a Possum Hybrid, he possesses the ability to shapeshift between three forms; Possum-Human Hybrid, which is the form he is seen most commonly in, as a 'default'. Possum, in which he shapeshifts into an actual possum, becoming much smaller, about 8 inches in height. And Human, but being in this form puts him under a lot of stress, and he has never used this form yet, having zero knowledge he can even do this.

### Combat

Nico has minimal combat skills with an axe and a knife, and is more skilled with wielding a switchblade.
