 Nicolaus Steinmen tell me reality is better than a dream. general info
appearance Nicolaus has a somewhat slender body, standing at around 6'1. The fact that he is made up of sand means he weighs a bit more than 200lbs. However still quite slender, and well spread out. He has semi soft features with long white hair that mimics the white sand that is inside him. He can be seen wearing a formal suit with a nice white jacket ordained with a crest of Lisa's design. He can also be seen in informal attire, like a hoodie, and jeans, or a track suit. personality
Before being a Golem Nicolaus was much more confident than he is today, and a lot less quiet. He was a hell of a lot happier, and told a lot more jokes. His speed and Intelligence, quick wit seemed to have no end. However after going through the trauma of awakening in his Golem body, and spending many years in isolation, his confidence although still applicable in many categories, is a pale comparison to in the past. He is still quite intelligent, but moves at his own pace. He is much more empathetic to the way he sees the world, feeling more connected to the earth with every passing moment, especially with that of sand. He can read someone's expression and get the gist of what's going on. He is driven, he has to be to even be able to continue through his awakening. He is strong, able to get through the ordeals he faced, and make stay sane for the most part. He has a fear of the dark, a fear of being left completely alone, and left with nothing but his thoughts. Small ticks can be seen the closer he is entranced with his fears. Like playing with his hair, or scratching his chin. Nicolaus is a bit quiet, at least quiet when he can be, and he doesn't talk as loud as he used to. He generally feels sad comparing his life now to the life he had when he was alive. Nicolaus can be gullible, at least when it comes to woman, and the way they feel about him anyways. He can read people well, but he has a hard time deciphering someone's ill intentions. abilities A limited ability to control sand that has been integrated inside of him. Most of the time this is dependent on the amount of sand inside himself, he can integrate sand from the outside, but if the sand is full of impurities then he can lose control of the sand. Sand is also health, the more he uses in an attack the less durable he is, so it's a balancing act. Durability: When all of his sand is contained in himself he is the most durable, Able to withstand many types of blunt attacks. Pierce, and slashing however, damage the vessel containing the sand, thus causing him to lose sand, and then become less durable. Pain Tolerance: Being made of sand the feeling of pain is mostly blocked, although he knows for the most part if he is hit, he practically feels no pain. Because of this he also suffers from lack of taste from food, little to no feeling when hugged, or kissed, and practically no sleep or food needed, nor does he need to go to the bathroom, or breath. Heat Tolerance: Being made of sand he can withstand a very high temperature, however exceed 3090F and the sand inside will start to melt. There's a possibility of his core surviving, but the extreme heat if not regulated will certainly mean death if the temperature reaches past that point for any prolonged time. Water Weakness: If the vessel is not punctured, and he is able to keep his sand from getting wet, there is little to no problem. However, the moment he is cut, water leeches into the sand extremely fast. The wet sand becomes almost inoperable for him, making his movements extremely slow with the added water weight. This also prevents him from attacking, or defending, as the sand will tend to just stay on the floor rather than being controlled. backstory Nicolaus was born into a somewhat wealthy family. Although quite wealthy compared to most of the other people around them, they weren't rewarded with the luxuries one would assume. Hard work was constant around the farm, and there weren't yet stable housing in the area he was born into. Being born in a town with very little homes, and one general store. His family was the provider of goods for the General store, but did not own the general store. This provided them with extra cash, but with the lack of commerce in the area, meant they had little to spend it on. Nicolaus spent most of his days working on the farm, or travelling to and from the general store. There was a modest amount of paperwork, and he was able to learn reading and writing from doing receipts. Not many people knew how to read and write in this town, he could count on two hands the people that could. His Mother taught him to cook, and his father taught him how to raise cattle, as well properly take care of horse, ducks, and geese. By the time he was 9 the production of a proper home had finished. He was born a little after they moved to the that plot of land, with a great many grants from the government too to help colonize the area. By the time he was 13 the city became much more bustling, and with the extra wealth the family had accrued he was able to take up reading more often in his spare time. He learned of warriors, princesses, wizards, and various other races, which he had not seen in this town. With a sense for adventure, he fell prey to the propaganda for the army. They offered to pay for his studies, in exchange for a battle competent warrior. After assessing his skills in combat, and realizing he was actually quite intelligent, they put him under tutelage with a code breaker, and language expert. He learned Chinese, as that was who the trading partner was at the time. He learned to code break, and although he was born in a very primitive time, there was still quite a use of his skills to encode, and decode writing. He was taught to not only code break, but to be a competent warrior too. He learned hand to hand combat, enough to make him stand his own, and a bit weapons training. Although he was a bit more important for his language skills. By the time he was 22 the world had changed quite a bit, and he was removed from his home town to go into a war. Although he was stationed in a new city, one that was much larger than his own. He didn't talk about his family too much, although he did care for his family. It was this time that he met Lisa, a woman he would soon fall madly in love with. He loved talking to her, and he loved trying to figure out the perfect surprise for her. They spent a good amount of time courting each other, there was a bit of rules to the whole dating thing for him, as he was considered to be a part of espionage, but he did end up breaking a bit of them. Like checking her background to make sure he wouldn't ever be spilling information to a spy, although he was under oath not to tell secrets anyways. Their relationship continued, and he was madly in love. Perhaps a bit unhealthy too. When it was time for him to actual fight the war, the city under siege, Nicolaus was sadly slain not having too much combat experience. He was able to take out a few soldiers, but he was meant to stay behind lines, not in them. When he died, the world went black. When he awoke, everything was once again black. However, he could think, he could hear, he could feel the boundaries of his container. He spent so much time in this container that he was beginning to lose his sanity. He feared the darkness, he missed the war, he missed combat, he missed speaking to another individual. He went through phases of talking to himself, phases tapping on the boundaries of this black box. One day everything changed, and he was suddenly unable to move. Whatever black box he was tangled in, well now it was suddenly just a black void, with no movement at all. He wanted to speak, tap, make sounds, but he was unable too. This was a very concerning time for him, and he screamed mentally through the darkness. But nothing seemed to ever speak to him. Again, just as one day he was stopped from being able to move, another day something happened. His hand could feel something. He pulled himself upward, the constant pressure he felt was almost gone. His head broke through the darkness, and suddenly he could see. Tears escaping his eyes as he laid eyes on anything other than the darkness. He freed himself, and he tried to walk. However it was like he had forgotten how, and it took him a good amount of time to walk with confidence. He stumbled over to a river, and when he looked at the mirror of himself, he could recognize resemblances, but he was not the same person. After spending some years learning about the new realities of this world he was able to secure a job. He spent much of his time travelling as a Hostel worker, getting a place to stay in the process. He spent most of the time tracking down his love, who he figured would still be kicking around due to what she was. He spent many years following the ghost of traces once left by her, and was able to find remote work as a translator. He had no need of food or sleep, so he had amassed a decent chunk of money by the time he made it to Lorsette. Still he chose to room at a hostel with a cycling of guests in and out, he had hoped he finally reached Lisa. misc Bilingual, Chinese, French, English Has a hard time getting drunk, but loves to be drunk. Loves physical touch, especially from the ones he deems close to him. Although because of his faded senses it is a bit of a sad reminder. Military Background in espionage. Loves water, even if it is his weakness. Spent time learning to dance for military gatherings, and social events. Quite a good tracker, and hunter. Lack of any feelings, this doesn't mean he can't experience them, but a sense of his old self, and how they used to feel haunts his current personality driving him to do reckless things in order to feel the same. | roleplayer info  ☆ NAME metal ☆ RP EXPERIENCE how long have you been rping for?
