PERSONALITY;;

• stoic - Nyt rarely displays any sort of emotion regardless of the trials placed before him. His facial expressions are cold and dispassionate in nearly every situation. A life of poverty and violence have bled his sentiments white. 
• tenacious - Like a dog going for a bone, Nyt displays a remarkable endurance to see things to their end. This trait was adopted early in life, as he was forced to compete with the other denizens of Riasglach for scarce resources.
• withdrawn - Going hand in hand with his general lack of emotion, Nyt does not confide in others. The early death of his mother, total absence of a father, and muteness have caused him to keep his thoughts, nearly all of them, to himself.
• clever - While not a titan of intellect, his harsh upbringing caused him to improvise and be flexiblel. His acumen is quite keen, and while he is not classically educated, he has a knack for solving problems and thinking critically.

FLAWS;;

• mute - Nyt has been mute since birth. He has never attempted to speak which completely perplexed his mother.
• cynical - He retains an almost fatalistic world view. As such, there is little that moves him in service of others or for the greater good.
• illiterate - Nyt is unable to read or write. There was a complete absence of education in his early life.
• stubborn - Rivaling an agitated ox, Nyt rarely changes his viewpoints unless they directly relate to his basic needs.
• aimless - Nyt serves no higher cause and has merely drifted through life, only surviving.

SECRETS;;

• divinity - Nyt is completely unaware of his celestial bloodline.
• purpose - Nyt's aimlessness is a result of his divinity as much as his upbringing. He is a demigod without purpose or schemes. He needs to be set into motion by others as he does not possess the will to do so himself.

FAMILY;;

• mother, Yshael - He knows very little of his mother. She passed on when he was very young from a plague outbreak in their village which to everyone else's surprise did not kill Nyt. This of course, being a result of the magical powers afforded to him by his father.
• father, Afvod - Afvod is a deity little known outside of a few small communities in Riasglach. Possessing an insatiable lust, he bedded Nyt's mother on a whim and never considered the consequences. He has been completely absent not only from Nyt's life, but from the mortal plain all together since his son's birth.

HISTORY;;
Nyt was born into overwhelming poverty. His mother, Yshael, copulated with the deity Afvod, thus granting Nyt supernatural powers from birth. They would serve him well, for upon his third birthday Yshael was taken with consumption and passed away. The lack of any structured orphanage saw Nyt taken into the care of various women until he was eleven years old. He can remember little of his childhood previous to this, and that is perhaps for the best. Dissatisfied with the aloofness of his last caretaker, he lived instead as a street urchin in Vermin Village for several years. He survived solely through theft, as did most in Riasglach. Sickness frequently claimed the lives of weak and elderly and Nyt frequently took advantage of this by plundering their dwellings and corpses for anything of value. Shame was a foreign concept to him, as was any type of formal education. His unscrupulous ways continued until he reached the age of nineteen. As he entered adulthood, petty thieving was no longer a viable source of income. Other thieves became increasingly desperate with the Riasglach deteriorating conditions. The constant influx of criminals from other kingdoms increased the squabbling from the self appointed "lords" of Riasglach. Bandit kings began to carve out territories through blatant violence. Thieves were forced to pay tribute to whosoever controlled the territory in which they plied their trade. Nyt, stubborn as always, refused to do such. The self-styled Bandit-King of Vermin Village, upon hearing of this "treachery" would proceed with an appropriate punishment. One fateful Night, while Nyt slept, minions of Bandit-King crept into his dingy flat. Brandishing knives, they hoped to silently dispatch this poor soul and slip out. Murders of this sort were commonplace. Nyt, a terribly light sleeper, awoke just before the first assassin's knife plunged into his left eye. Quick reflexes, owed to his divine heritage, allowed Nyt to desperately clutch onto the man's forearm preventing the blinding blow from becoming fatal. His supernatural powers allowed him, after a brief struggle, to dispatch the men sent to murder him with relative ease. Impressed by Nyt's ability to survive, the Bandit-King stayed his hand and offered him a chance to fight in the pits. While incredibly gruesome, Nyt could best those that were sent against him with little danger to his person. The pay was substantially better than his thieving days and it proved sensible to be in the good graces of this so called King. Years elapsed and Nyt remained a pit fighter to this day, completely unaware of his heritage while serving only his most basic of animal instincts.
