before the wind sears
You upon the hollow belly
with its nails so keen
shaped by the volcano’s obsidian
raised drinking glass❞

The most distinguishing feature Niall has is the discoloration of his left eye. Since he is a seer, his left eye is blind to all the physical world but when he induces a vision, this pale eye swirls with a silver mist and is the seat of his power. Secondly, Niall sports a tattoo on his right going down his arm in an ancient scripture. These markings are just for show and do nothing though he likes to lie and say it is a protective spell. On his back, Niall has a scrawling tattoo of blossom reaching out to a moon. This is symbolic of his reaching for guidance when he gets lost in his power. The moon is always his guiding light and the deity he worships. Lastly, both of Niall's ears are pierced and he often wears danging earrings in his right and studs in his left.

Niall is a young man with a lean athletic build. Traveling around has hardened him but the soft angles of his face often make him appear young than he is. This particular trait he despises. He doesn't want to appear weak and vulnerable and can't afford people seeing him as 'cute'. He often wears a small mask to cover his blind eye so he doesn't scare others or draw too much attention. His stance often gives off the impression that he wants to keep everyone at a distance.

❥ Nighttime The shining moon is awake and guiding me on my journey.

❥ Money Who in their right mind doesn't like money?
❥ Fencing It is poetry of the body and dance all in one go.

Snaps fingersNiall tens to snap his fingers when he has thought of something or at random intervals to break up the silence. It is a coping mechanism for when he was younger and unable to control his power.
Stares Niall tends to stare at people when he doesn't buy what they are trying to say. It can get unnerving.
Bites KnucklesWhen Niall is unsure of something or doesn't like where the discussion is going, he bites the knuckle of his index finger.

Niall really is a man that tries to hide behind a tough guy bravado. He had been handed saw raw deals in life and so he tries to protect himself first and foremost. He had learned that you can't trust others with your life and happiness and you have to fight for what you want. Niall can seem very self-centered and selfish. In any situation, he will first find a way out for himself and worry about others later if he has the time. He lives by the dog-eat-dog code of life and would much rather smirk and wink as he escapes while someone else takes the fall.
He isn't the cold hearted monster he makes himself out to be however. He does care for others but he doesn't want to compromise himself by being kind. He is fed up with people walking on him when he extends a hand to help. So, he will help. Occasionally. He has to trust someone before he truly aids them in whatever venture they have found themselves in. He much prefers being a loner though since even those he trusts may eventually turn on him and throw him under the bus alter.
Niall is also a be eccentric. He loves having his own voice and style and often wears a crazy amount of layers of trinkets and shiny things. He switches between normal speech to quoting poetry and making up his own rhymes. Part of this is due to his prophetic ability since if he does speak during a trance, it is often in a riddle. Secondly, his power slowly leads to insanity so his current state may also be a result of too much time in the Void. He will probably gut anyone that calls him crazy however. Insanity is one thing he wishes to stave off and doesn't want a reminder that he is strange.
This young man is also very determined to get what he wants. He is a treasure hunter so his livelihood and comfort relies on his own ability to find the treasure he is after. He won't let challenges stop him from his hunt and wont' shy away, preferring to meet these challenges head on. He does prefer the easy way though and tries to make his life simple and uncomplicated. He knows there are many things in the world that are 'gray', but he tries to make everything black and white in his day to day routine and categorization. This also works as a coping mechanism, preventing him from taking too many things to heart and burdening himself emotionally.
❝Crumbled dust, demon and angel
All who scream in darkened grace
Will fall like feathers to Grey.❞

Niall was originally from Ireland and his family had a decent living. He was one of 6 kids and the youngest. He had always been a bit strange and born with a sightless left eye. His parents favored him and made life just a little too easy for young Niall so he hadn't learned to truly compensate with his blindness. His siblings picked on him and used his blind side to their advantage whenever they played games. He didn't think much of it and knew they were just teasing. In the end, they were all family and would love and support each other from harm.
Over the years, Niall's blind eye faded in color until it was nearly white which usually scared other children an caused adults to stare so he often wore an eye patch to cover it up and appear normal. It wasn't until age 12 that his Sight came to him. His first vision was terrifying and real. He had been listening to his mother tell stories as he watched the fire flicker. He fainted and mumbled strange words making his family believe he was possessed. When he woke, he screamed that his sister was going to be run over by a horse in the market the next day. His parents tried to console the boy that nothing was going to happen but, the next day, they heard news that their eldest daughter had been trampled by a horse that had been spooked. The parents thought it was just a coincidence but they couldn't ignore it when Niall had three other visions that came true. They were terrified that their son had been claimed by witches but his power also intrigued them and many others in their village.
It wasn't long before Niall was confined to his bedroom and people from the town came daily for a fortune reading. His parents found ways to induce the visions but the more visions Niall had, the harder it was to control them and the more they exhausted the boy. He was renowned as the Seer and even lords came to him to find their fortune. This went on for 4 years before Niall took a turn for the worst. He lapsed into a vision and no matter what his parents did, they could not wake the boy. He was bedridden for a full day, constantly thrashing and mumbling nonsense. His parents called a priest to finally exorcise him of this strange demon. It was not a pleasant experience for Niall who had to suffer through it once he finally woke from his visions. The exorcism lasted a week and the poor boy was utterly exhausted where he lay chained to his bed in case the demon took a violent turn.
His only sister came to him one evening and unchained him, her heart going out to her young brother and urged him to run away. She provided provisions for him and Niall was quick to run away from the only home and life he knew. Life as a traveler was harsh for one so young but he had to learn quickly and find a way to prosper. He traveled around as a fortune teller for a while, selling the only thing he knew before he learned that he could use this ability to help himself by hunting down treasure. Now that he has something that can make his life easier, Niall never wants to return to being that desperate starving rat he had once been. He has yet to encounter anyone from his past.
