Nicola

## Nicola S. Bluesong

*"He has a unique gift, bestowed upon him by Ithushar on the hallowed floor; an innately reversed domain, quite an interesting power for an up-and-coming ascender. Echoing the creation of our founder's contract, Nicola stumbled upon his contract within the hallowed cave that our progenitor had stumbled upon during the Genesis wars. Reversing contracts is something that often is not discovered by Ascenders until the middle of the climb. Eliminating the contract, he has no sense of self-preservation. Save for his classically trained roguish talents, he is a non-threat.*

*To be fair, he does have a quite dangerous potential, with the ability to completely shut-out domains AND to figure out the abilities of those within his domain. On the other hand... his choice of alliance with that moron, **Vortex Bluesong** - he won't last.*

*You should look at it from another perspective, separate, the two individuals might not be the biggest threat.*

*Of course. Unless Nicola takes the Bluesong's blessing... -Unknown member of the Nari Family*

### History

* Floor of Freedom (39-42): Nicola was an ally that was indoctrinated into the Bluesong family during the events of **Floor #30**. He was integral for allowing members of the party to have their powers as Ascenders whilst their adversaries, a couple of Acers were powerless. Nicola had entered the greater tower after accepting the Bluesong blessing.
* Entering the Tower (42+): There have been rumors spreading of Nicola being considered a "Super Rookie" due to his contract, and has been hunted by members of the Triarchy due to claims of 'bombing government institutions.' Current intelligence places him having climbed up to the **Floor #7** of which he has gone missing.

## Contract(s)

**"Inno Individualista" - Specialist Domain**

* **Terms:** Creates a massive domain that is always reversed. Within this 1KM diameter domain, centered on himself Nicola may actively shape it to be as large (or small) as desired.
* **Sacrifice:** The tower had taken flesh upon being pierced with the bones of Ithushar.
* **Conditions:**
	+ This contract always must stay reversed, under penalty of body-horror.
	+ Nicola loses 1/20 of his current hit points per round this contract is on.
	+ Ascenders who contracts are gleaned this way are made aware of this contract's usage as well as the name & face of the wielder.
* **Nonreversed:** For the next hour, this contract is unreversed, Nicola gains 4 exhaustion and loses 1/2 of his current hit points. All within a 1KM diameter of Nicola must make a Charisma saving throw or be sent into Nicola's domain. Within, a boneyard of Elder bones. All non-ascender humanoids now have the power of a first level character, whenever a non-ascender kills an Ascender or Acer they gain 1/2 of their levels, when killed this way, the victim's soul remains within the domain, and cannot be released unless they are exorcised by a contractual ability.
	+ The following conditions are imposed:
		- Nicola loses 1/10 of his current hit points per round this contract is on.
		- All anarchists & antigovernmental individuals may leave at will.
		- If a non ascender kills an ascender or acer, they may choose as many people to leave the domain as they want.
		- If an ascender kills an Acer, they may choose as many people to leave the domain as they want.
		- If a ruler of a civilization is killed or one that has ruled over a group of people for more than 1/10 of their life, all may leave should they choose.
		- If there are no Ascenders, Acers or leaders within the domain; the activation fails and Nicola is refunded his exhaustion / hitpoints.
