Personality and Abilities
Personality
  • Stranger's Perception: The way in which others view Niandai varies quite a lot from person to person. Different forms and disguises are specifically given different personalities, but the most common traits found in his fully-shifted form is his amorous demeanor, his sweet flattery, and his observant nature. In his un-shifted-shape, however, it's not uncommon that he's seen as demeaning, slimy, and extremely temperamental. Among all of this, there's only one thing for certain: there's a magnanimous and confident atmosphere about him that makes him the easiest to identify with.
  • Personal Perception: The only honesty found in Niandai-Ji is deep within his heart. While it's easy to keep up a confident façade, there is only an overflowing ocean of paranoia that pours through the veins of the Slizzar. Seething hatred for many cultures and people threaten to shatter his disguises, and an intense lust to remain beautiful increases the madness possessing this man. All three of these traits have caused him to cut his own tendrils in private because of comments regarding the fact that they 'looked a little longer than usual.' Niandai-Ji desires to not be inferior in any way; all he wants to be is 'special.'
  • Friends and Family: Relationships are few and far between. Lovers are often more useful than lovely, and even most friends are tools for his own ploys. While there normally is little to not distinction, Niandai-Ji tends to provide more gifts and become more clingy to certain individuals to the point that one might call him a stalker. Most of his family are deeply loved, although it's useful to note that he only competes with all male relatives in his household since he believes the females are less capable.
  • Morality and Orientation: To describe Niandai-Ji's morals in two words: Lawful Evil. Anything that benefits only Niandai-Ji and his ideals is commonly the most selected choice, so long as it doesn't violate one of his ever-changing rules of self-preservation. Even the dirtiest of crimes will be performed if enough is paid, but he prefers to be more discrete and manipulative than extremely violent. His permanent rules generally are as follows:
    • Stupid acts performed by people are only an act. Once they can prove that they themselves are not smart, they should be either taught or punished.
    • The rules of the employer shall be followed at all costs unless it hampers the beauty of himself.
    • Children should be avoided unless being paid or rewarded for interacting with them (or unless severely necessary).
Abilities
  • Herald of the Haaken - Niandai-Ji is not exactly very noisy about his trade. This Slizzar has been granted the ability to infiltrate facilities, retrieve information, and eliminate targets at their most vulnerable. While his raw strength might not compete well against his Ailor counterparts, Niandai-Ji's accurate eyesight, natural agility, and shape-shifting abilities gift him the capability to be on par with those of the same level.
  • Smart Serpent - Like many of his breed, Niandai is no simpleton when it comes to mental prowess. With the ability to speak Tatsugo (slow but proficient speech), write and speak common (3rd grade reading level, proficient speech) and Zasta (fluent), tacked on with constant deduction for people and his environment, Niandai-Ji has a pretty tight grasp in many environments when it comes to keeping his cool. Although he is more-so clever than knowledgeable, this calculative nature aids him with powerful problem-solving skills that would place him to be above average when in comparison to the average man.
Weaknesses (optional)
  • N/A - N/A
Life Story (Required)
  • Niandai-Ji is born on October 8th on the Ssassrakand isles.
  • At the age of 1, the Bianzhe family moves to the Yang-tzu isles.
  • At the age of 5, Niandai-Ji begins his verbal lessons on Tatsugo.
    • While there is a push to learn the language, Niandai-Ji's father is concerned that he will outpace him. In turn, no writing lessons are ever started and his verbal lessons are made sloppy in an attempt to stifle his possible success.
  • At the age of 6, writing and speaking Zasta begins.
  • At the age of 14, Niandai-Ji's family moves to Regalia due to building tensions in their previous community.
    • Later that winter, one of his siblings are slain by a mob. All beliefs that he is safe seems to plummet from here on out.
    • Later that winter, Niandai-Ji is forced to stop learning Tatsugo by his father.
  • At the age of 15, Niandai-Ji has become fluent in speaking and writing Zasta.
    • Later that spring, Niandai-Ji has become fully capable of switching between forms multiple times a day.
  • At the age of 16, Niandai-Ji begins learning how to speak common so that he can function in society.
    • Later that summer, Niandai-Ji is flogged for the first time by a couple Unionist extremists.
  • At the age of 18, writing lessons begin (slowly, at that) for writing in common.
    • Later that autumn, Niandai-Ji joins a local thieves' guild and starts his lesson on the School of Haaken.
  • At the age of 19, the first scam is performed to gain 5r. These numbers only begin to spike in how often he performs this.
  • At the age of 22, Niandai-Ji becomes a Fighter in the School of Haaken.
    • These lessons are remarkably slow since there is at least one month at a time where Niandai-Ji's lessons slow down on the trip to and from Ssassrakand for the annual solar eclipse, not to mention learning common had to be tacked on.
  • At the age of 23, his first successful assassination is performed against a Regalian man that was rumoured to have been 'an important soldier in the Regalian efforts of the Chrysant war' on the night of celebration. However, the actual importance of the figure slain was 'never confirmed' (the man was nothing more than a racist Siegwald soldier).
    • Niandai-Ji also became fluent later that winter in speaking common, but learning more languages came to a screeching halt due to the lessons becoming too difficult to juggle with Haaken.
  • At the age of 31, Niandai-Ji becomes a Warrior in the School of Haaken.
  • At the age of 36, the wages of Niandai-Ji significantly increased as Deathlings are purchasing contracts left and right against the Regalian rebellion. However, no significant information was found and this pay-raise ended as quickly as it begun.
    • Later that spring, Niandai-Ji purchases a set of silken robes and begins assuming different identities.
  • And it was then that his adventure began! The lines below are progressions due to IC events.
  • N/A

nibble nibble here comes the reviewizzle
  • I'm going to ask you to list three distinct identities and limit yourself to those. This is to prevent a seemingly limitless amount of disguises and personas which can be viewed as powergaming if used improperly. Please include the names of these personas as such. I'm not going to ask you to go through each persona and create a whole list of traits for each, this is simply a request for when you use this character in role play. The faceless rogue with multiple faces can be abused easily, no matter who portrays them. But I do appreciate the niche this character fills and nothing is out of place besides my concerns listed above. Remember, three identities for role play only.
  • Place the three names in the name section, these can change in role play or what have you if you fear meta, but just something to show that we understand one and other.
Make that single addition and tag myself once completed @Magivore

Hah! I had those two identities on there yesterday, but removed them out of fear of people metagaming by just looking at the app... never second-guess yourself, it seems. The names have been included and the marked section is quoted below!
  • Balthaszar is a herald who spreads verbal news and rumours from the city's recent gossip to people stuck at the rat race, but dreams to become a great minstrel.
  • Bagjira is a low-level translator who transitions from Zasta to Common, but dreams to become a scribe.

  • Assumes multiple identities, primarily as the male 'Balthaszar' and female 'Bagjira' in human shape.
