Paige Nikoshi

Paige Nikoshi in his mid life

 — Character Speaking, Context

Intro to the character

## Appearance

The first thing that stands out about Paige is his hair. It's a red so
bright only the blaze of an inferno outshines it. It lays tucked behind his jewel-covered ears, long enough that the tips lightly graze his shoulders. It stands in perpetual spikes.  As you move down his face, you are then drawn to the eye patch and, as curiosity nips at you, the other eye draws you into a gentle lull as the ocean would before a storm--a mix of blue and green so tense and fathomless that you would only assume Paige was hundreds of years old even though he has the facial structure of a youthful elf just entering maturity. The facial scarring beneath his right eye doesn’t miss notice either, an acute memory of a pistol backfiring. Your eyes go lower and fall on his mouth, thin and smooth, with an arch as tho he is positive he has any situation under control. It would almost certainly give off the definite aura of invincibility that draws in both maiden and ally alike, but you wouldn’t miss the size of his canines the moment his mouth opens.

Because of his youthful appearance, Paige’s height is often overlooked until you are standing right next to him. In fact, he stands at 6 foot 1. While Paige isn't lanky, he definitely isn’t muscular; under his clothing Paige is very toned from days and nights spent climbing up and down rigging and working alongside his men. His skin is soft as silk but slightly cold to the touch. His whole body is covered in intricate body art from wrist to shoulder on both arms; wings of light are etched into his back and detailed exotic scripts scroll down the left side of his stomach, disappearing at the belt line. Paige turned his body from defiled evil to a work of art.

## Abilities

* A list of abilities thematically presented and laid out in bullet points, ideally making it more lore appropriate rather than game statistic appropriate. A large health pool or defence, for instance, would translate to 'Great physical endurance'. An abundance of fire like abilities would translate to Pyromancy, so on and so forth.

## Paraphernalia

* A group of bullet points listing weapons, pieces of armour or clothing or other items that are especially pertinent to the character and their story. (Do not include all random game items, just those lore appropriate to the character)

## Backstory

His mother was a beautiful elf abnormally so she was always the star of the town, very charismatic and intelligent. His father is a Vampire whose attention was caught by the lure of Paige's mother he ravaged her after luring her off at a party and left her with the aftermath of the crossbreed birth.

shunned by the entire town they resided in. this caused him to be a shut in taking solace in the ranged weaponry his uncle engineered, Page would disassemble and reassemble pistol and rifle alike until he could do it with his eyes closed. When his uncle died page was forced to leave only being able to take what he could fit into a medium sized bag, the basic necessities. He started his journey.

### Mid Life

respectable position so he decided to join a traveling caravan of performers using his pistol skills
as a means to make money and provide for himself. Over the course of 30 years he honed his skills as a pistolero and learned crafts of his fellow performers. He then decided it was time to part ways with the band and make a name for himself.

During which time they raided merchants, traders, and fellow pirate alike who were on their way to Jewelsport.
