My only repeated character and the one I'll use for the writers academy:-
Name: Nkomis (Nick-Oh-Miss)
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: “Elemental” Human
Occupation: Assassin
Appearance: Her eyes are perfectly emerald. Her natural hair colour is blonde but she tends to dye it different colours depending on how she feels at the time. At this moment in time she has a block of light crimson on the right side that sits on top of a bright blonde base. Her nose isn’t all that different than any other nose except that it has been broken and so bears an almost unnoticeable kink at the rim. It also curves slightly down the length. Her lips are a beautiful shade of pink and are slightly smaller than you would normally see; her teeth are pure ivory due to constant brushing as she takes care of her looks.
Her body is slim and slender as she keeps in constant motion whether with exercise or at work. She is fairly average height if only slightly above at 5’9” and her legs are long and toned. She has trained her body for endurance meaning she can run at her full speed for a great distance without getting tired; likewise she can take quite a few hits before giving way.
Her armour is a lightweight silver breastplate meant for female cavalry riders, she also wears shin and wrist armour of the same weight. This armour bears an arcane symbol in black.
The other padding around her body is all a dark, near black leather. This leather provides protection from impact on the ground or with a blunt object rather than a blade. Its lightweight durable nature gives her ease of movement combined with the protection she needs.
Her boots are lightweight leather of the same durability as her armour unlike the armour though these also have metal plated padding within. These metal plates are mainly there to prevent her opponent immobilizing her by stabbing or breaking her feet, her wrist and shin armours share this same purpose also.
Around her wrist is tied a piece of strong, orange material about the length of her arm, this is tied at the wrist with the two ends left to dangle idly. This piece of material is the only piece of colour she wears. Due to it being easy to remove and the fabrics strength it can double up as a way to disarm an opponent if used correctly.
Weapons:
Her weapons are mainly swords and daggers crafted by master in China the main one she uses being a Daito which hangs in its scabbard on her back. However at her sides she wears other weapons that are a back-up.
On her left she wears a Katana; this sword is lighter and shorter than her Daito and can be quickly withdrawn once she is disarmed.
On her right side on above the other she wears a twin set of Tanto, another type of Chinese combat sword. These however are considerably shorter than both the Daito and the Katana and are used for fast-paced, close-range combat.
Her martial arts skills in both swordsmanship and hand to hand combat aid her in using these weapons as an effective assassin.
Abilities:
The abilities she can use with water are endless due to her being able to create whatever she wants from the substance, her other skills are:
Qi (Chee or Chi)- Translated as ‘inner self’ or ‘soul’. This power enables her to let loose a blast of energy that throws an attacker or projectile away from her with a crushing force. This takes some time to do due to the hand and arm movements involved in completing the incantation to release the Chi.
Background:
From an early age Nkomis was seen as an outcast, almost a freak to most of society. Her ability to manipulate water scared all those around her. She grew up almost alone, the only person she trusted was her brother, Kieran. Kieran had a similar ability to that of Nkomis, he could control fire. Whilst they grew up they were inseparable, unable to go to school and barely leave the house they spent almost every moment by each others side. Upon Kieran’s (she called him Kie) 19th birthday he set out to find more people like them so that they could live happily with others. Nkomis’s last memory of him is only a dark shape through a brightly sunlit doorway waving as he walked away into the distance.
Distraught at her brothers sudden disappearance and her only contact and friend in the world (besides her parents) Nkomis grew depressed and anxious, she would spend hours on end sitting at her bedroom window awaiting Kie’s return that was never to come.
At the age of 16 Nkomis’s parents told her that her bother had been seen on a ‘rampage’ and brandishing his Halberd at a bounty hunter named ‘Silver’ by whome he was slain.
Angry and upset Nkomis ran from her home, she ran so far her legs felt weak and her mind and eyes played tricks on her. After weeks of being on the run and sleeping in bans and fields, gaining food by using her beauty to bribe men then steal food and run before they could catch her (one of these times she was caught after running into a wall, an accident that resulted in a broken nose). She fell down on a deserted dirt track to rest, there she cried. A passer by saw Nikomis and to his astonishment saw her mould her tears into the shape of a miniature boy. She made him dance on her palm and then absorbed him into her skin. The man stood and stared amazed, he asked her if she would like to tell him her story and where she was from.
The old man, who turned out to be a wise monk skilled in Shinobi and Shaolin styles of fighing, concluded that due to her detachment as a child from civilization she has developed a condition known to the Chinese as Buzhidao (Boo-chih-dah-oh). This translates as “don’t bother me” or “I don’t care” and means she has an ‘escape from responsibility’ for other people around her.
Nkomis learned her various types of fighting skills and martial arts from the old monk and how to harness her energy and power into a deadly weapon. She decided to use this newfound skill as a way to avenge her brother.
Ever since her training. she has searched the world for the hunter ‘Silver’ but with no luck. She works as an assassin, though she doesnt accept gold as payment she only asks for infomation on 'Silver' and for food and accomadation. Her vendetta has stretched the span of the globe and has seen her visit over 100 countries upon infomation from various sources, but the leads have always lead to a bloody and dead end.
However over the she has developed a fear of bright light that came about from the memory and dreams she has of her brother disappearing within it never to return.
