Neik Vallier

"Don't ask me... After all, I'm just a weapon."

0 · 420 views · located in Castellion

a character in “Castellion”, originally authored by Savader, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Name: Neik Vallier
(pronounced 'Nay-eek/Nai-eek Valley-air')

Age: 20

Species: Human

Height: 5'10"

Weight: 180lbs

Appearance: Neik has dark, blue-black hair (in the right light) that is naturally unkempt, mostly around the sides and back of his head, while his bangs are rather long and more or less straight and even. His eyes are a vicious red, which makes him come off as rather "scary" or somewhat "evil", and ultimately gives him a very imposing image. He has fine features, with no facial hair or scarring. As for clothing, Neik normally wears an assortment of black outfits. His casual wear could be described as a simple light, open black shirt over a regular black t-shirt, and black cargo pants or shorts, finishing with black boots. His more common gear is that of a leather-based theme jacket and hem, also black, over his regular wear, topping it off with black leather gloves:

Voice: Yuri Lowenthal (Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto)

Abilities/Skills/Weapons: Neik is one of the rumored "Swordmasters". He blends together an arsenal of sword skills and techniques with that of summoning magic, creating a unique style that, currently, only he can use; first taught to him by his late master, the last Swordmaster, when he was very young. This style is comprised of him channeling his magic into a space surrounding his person of around 2 feet in a 360 degree angle, and then summoning an arsenal of different swords for him to use as he desires, be them one-handed, two, large or skinny; the range is almost unfathomably infinite.

ImageOnce he chooses a weapon, he merely takes up its handle and the true form of the blade materializes; spawned into his hands from another dimension which is directly tied to his soul in the form of a contract, which allows him access to this arsenal. That alone is as far as this ability reaches, as it's merely meant to allow a true master of swords to always have access to whichever sword type he requires at the time. However, he does know a bit of basic magic, which he can combine with this ability for fairly amazing effects. It is an invaluable skill for sure, and can only exist with one individual at a time. Once that individual dies, the mantle is then capable of being taken up by another, given that they know how to form the contract between their soul and the realm which gives these blades their form.

Personality: Image Neik is a rather calm and serious individual. The term "kuudere" comes to mind, in that he usually comes off as very cold, blunt and cynical towards just about anyone and anything. That being said, deep inside, he harbors a general care for the world and those who are close to him. Not that he would ever care to admit it, even to himself. Aside from that general perspective of personality, Neik is regarded as somewhat of a genius in his craft. He is very intelligent, and more than capable than the average swordsman. He can be a very prideful man at times; never one to take a liking to being doted on, or even praised for that matter. Whenever someone compliments him, he normally labels himself as nothing more than a weapon, shrugging it off. He also uses that method to avoid having to answer a question that he doesn't want to answer. It's sort of a running gag within the group, as he only ever answers with that line when he simply doesn't want to be talked to, much less asked his opinion on a matter he doesn't care about, or when he feels that someone has complimented him. Obviously meaning that he will give his opinion on something he considers important to the situation. It's likely one of the very few humorous aspects of his personality. As prideful and uncaring as he is, he's not against respecting another's skills if they so happen to gain his approval. While he will berate someone for protecting him or "getting in his way" in combat, he is not against accepting assistance in areas that he isn't familiar with. In other words; his pride as a "weapon" only extends to that field. He won't be upset if someone can out cook him in the kitchen, or beat him at some kind of sport. He takes pride in his skills as a swordsman first, a warrior second, and everything else comes after.

History: Not much is known about Neik's past aside from him having been taught deadly techniques by the last Swordmaster, who died 2 years prior to recent events. Not even his allies know anything about him, other than his name and general personality. When one asks him about his past, he never chooses to get too detailed, only ever answering with a "yes" or a "no", and sometimes doesn't say anything at all. He chose that his past is of no real importance to those around him, and cares very little of it himself, save for the lessons he has learned throughout his training. Perhaps with time, he will share bits and pieces of his past to those he deems "friendly" enough. But until then, he remains a closed book.

Clementine was confused for a second, because Kyanna left her the task to save Zeyphir. So far Clementine was a burden, yet her teammates still trusted her to accomplish serious tasks. Despite of the freezing fear inside her, this gave her slight confidence.

Zeyphrine was still upside down, above the pit flames. The life of the 15-year-old fox girl depended on Clementine. She didn't know what to do, until a younger, but stronger and more furious member grabbed her and threw her above the pit. Luckily, she was near Zeyphrine. Clemmy grabbed tightly by the fox person. Her veins felt like they would explode, because of the extreeme speed of her heart beat and the heat from the flames.

Finally her love for swings came in use. Clementine started swinging with Zeyphrine to the much safer edge. She planned on cutting the rope in the right moment. However, right in that moment the tips of her long blue hair caught fire. During the swings, her flaming hair locks lit the rope, which burned and ripped. Luckily, they fell outside the pit.

After almost falling again in her surprisingly successful attempt to take back the sword, Clemmy quickly embraced Zeyphrine, who was now in her human form again. "HEY! WE MET LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO! AND YOU'RE HOLDING THE BLADE AT THE SAME TIME!" Zeyphrine scolded Clemmy, but then she quickly hugged her back and bursted in tears. "THE FLAMES! WE WERE THIS CLOSE TO DEATH!"

Riku Knoxx


Riku managed to hold off most of the natives, but then they began piling and he sighed, annoyed. Riku looked near the fire and seen Clementine and Zeyphrine holding each other in tears. Riku smiled and charged at the two natives that were in his way. He kicked one in the face, jumping off of his face towards the next and jumped off his face as well, boosting his speed to get towards the girl. He picked them both up and threw them over his shoulders.
Now is certainly not the time to be crying.
Riku looked at Neik and Kyanna. He jumped towards one of the nearby trees and set them down in the branch.
Now you can cry.
He patted them both on the head and jumped down, attacking the nearest native.


OOC: Sorry for the short post, but it's been 4 days so I thought I'd get the engine running once more.

Kyanna flinched slightly as she heard Zeyphrine cry, causing her to lose concentration as she glanced in their direction. She noticed Riku moving the other girls out of the way before looking back at her fight again.

The shadow wolf had charged forwards, any weapons trying to hit it just passing through it's body to no effect. It had then proceeded to tear the two men who had been guarding the fox-girl to shreds. The young witch called the wolf back after that, allowing it to turn into her shadow once more in order to preserve her Mana.

While doing this, she ended up not noticing another native sneak up behind her, receiving a large gash on her back for her troubles which immediately started bleeding. She swore under her breath a couple of times before turning on the spot to face the man. The native tried to attack her again and the young woman's hand snapped out and caught his wrist, being careful to avoid the blade.

"Hmm, it seems you have something of mine..." Her eyes narrowed as she took in the sight of her dagger coated in her own blood. However, a somewhat cruel smile overtook her features as she started channeling fire magic into her hand. This caused her skin to burn along with the man's and he dropped the dagger, grip failing from the pain.

Deftly, Kyanna caught the weapon by the handle, swiftly bring it up to slash the man's throat and kill him. Blood sprayed from the wound, coating her face and front with the sticky liquid and she let the dying body drop to the ground, kicking him away from her as she sheathed her dagger.

Reaching round, she ran her hands over the wound on her back, "lunae lumen." She started to heal the wound as the blood loss started to make her feel light-headed.

It wasn't long before the enemy's numbers were rapidly falling. Kyanna was focusing on one side, Riku another, and Neik in the center. It would be easier for them all to simply try and make their escape, Neik knew this, but they were too spread out for a tactical retreat at the moment. They would need to regroup and leave together, lest one or more of them get left behind.

Neik managed to take out more than 5 of them by now, and was making a path towards their leader. It didn't really matter why these people decided to do what they did, but it seemed as though Riku might want to know. After all, it was his idea to go along with this 'kidnapping'. Killing two more, Neik had a straight shot to their leader, who merely stood up on his pedestal and watched the battle from afar. This made Neik scoff with minor laughter. Pointing his blade up at the man, his face grew serious once more.

"Call off your apes and no one else has to die. That includes you..." he said, his eyes unblinking as they remained locked to the leader's. The battle had already began to cease, the smaller group's victory seeming inevitable. However, it was always best to put an end to a fight as soon as you could, given that you had the option to. After Kyanna's injury, it only made things more dire than they appeared... Even if she could heal it, it wouldn't matter if she kept getting hurt. This fight needed to end quickly anyway. They were wasting too much time with some random occurrence, and they needed to get back on track with the original mission. "I won't tell you again... Call them off, or I will kill you." Neik gave the leader one final warning, not caring whether or not he accepted his proposal, just that he chose quickly.

So many of the tribe were injured or dead. This angered the leader very much, and almost bursted at Neik's threat. He was breathing in rage, looking into Neik's eyes. Every breath was getting angrier, until he lifted his arm and shouted something, which caused every living member of the tribe to stop and step back. The leader gave Neik a last furious glare before he and the rest went back to the cave. He desired to revenge for all the members, but didn't want to risk any more of their lives in the process.

"We won! And we're alive! Yaaay!" Zeyphir was jumping happily. Nobody would be able to make a guess that minutes ago she was frightened to tears.
"Let's get out of here..." Clementine said, still emotionally burdened by the recent situation.

Neik watched the tribesmen disappear into the shadows, with their leader looking quite angry until he too left the heroes to the now rapidly enclosing cool night air. Letting out a slight audible scoff, he turned away from the cave's direction and allowed his blades to disappear. Now weaponless along with Riku and Clementine, he walked up to them and placed his hands on his waist, his eyes closed and head slightly lowered. He seemed rather annoyed with their first day's outcome, and sighed out his thoughts.

"Well, at least that's out of the way... You two had better find your swords, don't you think?" he said, opening an eye as he looked up at Riku with a piercing stare. He was still wondering just what this man was thinking when he ordered Neik to play along. Whatever it was, no matter the reason; it was insanely risky. These people could have killed them all in their unconscious state for all they knew. The only one they showed any real interest in was Zeyphrine, and her fate seemed the worst of them by far... That being said, there was no sense in complaining about it now that it had come to pass. Although he did hope that their leader wasn't planning to make this foolishness a regular thing. There was an air about the man that said there was more to him than meets the eye, but he'd never get the chance to actually show it if he kept risking their lives like that. And that WAS something worth complaining about...

Either way, Neik just let out another sigh and spun around on his heel, walking towards their piled-up belongings. His rucksack was there, along with the other two swordsman's blades standing up against a tree. Neik was, at the very least, pleased to see that everything was still there in one piece. Those tribesmen didn't appear to be thieves as a side job. Tightening the belt on his rucksack after checking its contents, he stood back up and slung it over his shoulder.

"Hey." he called out to the others. "All our stuff's over here. Come get it, if you still want it." Throwing out this bit of advice, he began walking towards and eventually past them towards the trail leading back out to the open world, away from this little clearing beside the cave that likely almost became their graves. He no longer desired to waste any more time. The night was falling fast, and they would need to seek refuge sooner rather than later. The smart decision would be to head on back to the inn, but that seemed pointless and quite disheartening for the group's morale. They would just have to kick it under the stars tonight, unless Riku had other plans for them. Whatever the case, Neik was obviously ready to head out once again.

Clementine approached to the weapons and took her sword. "It's the beginning." she was thinking. "The very beginning! And I already want it to end!" The frustration was ripping her from the inside, while she was looking in the distance with a dreamy smile.

Despite of the fact that she was about to be burned minutes ago, Zeyphrine started playing with pebbles like nothing happened. She looked up in the sky. "It's getting dark..." She noted and continued playing with the pebbles.

"E-excuse me..." A woman in her forties approached the rest. "Have you seen this person?" She took out a picture.
Clementine and Zeyphrine didn't respond yet. They were too sunk in their own thoughts.

Kyanna blinked a couple of times as she noticed the fight was over. A part of her was disappointed that it was, though she was mostly relieved. Her gaze wandered over the group, taking in the state each were in before settling on where Neik had said their stuff was.

She headed over there, a small smile on her face as she saw that her other dagger was there and set about pulling some cloth from her back to clean the blood from the blade she had used. Once she was certain that it was free of blood, Kyanna slid both weapons back into their sheathes before using the same cloth to wipe as much of the blood as she could from her face. There was nothing she could do about what had ended up in her hair, the liquid had stained it red and it stuck together in clumps, it would need a good wash before it came out, as would her clothes.

The young woman glanced over the group once more before taking notice of the newcomer. Cautiously, she walked over, putting her bag on in the process, and leaned in to take a closer look at the picture the woman was holding.

"I don't believe that I have... Hey, you lot! What about you?" She turned to look at the other four at this, head tilted to the side slightly.

Clementine looked at the picture. "I'm horrible at remembering faces. He looks familiar, but I don't know if I have seen this face recently." She simply said. She couldn't help, but be a little curious, so she asked "Who is he?"
"He's my husband." The woman replied. "He has been gone for a while. So me and some of my neighbours decided to search for him. I'm completely aware that some of us might get the comma virus far from home, but the same might happen to my husband too. I can't just do nothing. The neighbours were kind enough to help me."
"How do you know if someone of the searching group has found your husband?" Zeyphrine asked.
Suddenly, the woman covered her ear. She stood like that for a few moments, expressionless and speechless, until her face finally lit in joy. "Thank you so much! See you at our place!" Then she let her ear go.
"You have communication earrings?" Clementine exclaimed.
The communication earrings were a Castellion version of cell phones. They were still new, and not everyone might know about them yet.
"Yes, and my husband is found! He's heading home!" The woman replied happily. "I feel almost as happy as when people started talking about a group of heroes that might end this hell! Brave people, who are on a mission to defeat the comma virus once and for all!"
"That's us!" Clementine carelessly gave away the information.
"Really?" The woman immadiately trusted this statement. "Are you looking for a place to stay for the night? Do you want to go at my place?" She asked in excitement.
