Character
Personality:
With her low EQ and limited experiences in talking to people on equal terms, Nifl finds herself being rather shy when interacting with people. When conversing with others, she's more of a listener and questioner. This doesn't mean that she just prefers to be aloof though. Far from it, internally she wishes that she could have more friends and someone she can have pleasant conversations with (or to accompany on a shopping trip with). Rather than through her speech, actions seem to speak louder for Nifl. Finding it awkward to be too honest with her feelings, she isn't very impulsive to talk whatever is in her mind. She's not easy to anger, but when someone does manage to bring up a sensitive topic, they would be able to bring a rather drastic change to her facial expression. It is one dark enough to make most normal people to think twice. Once Nifl is angry, she can be rather stubborn.
She does have the tendencies of a workaholic, according to those who know her. When not at work as a body guard, she seems rather fidgety if left in the peace and quiet without work for too long. The main primary reason is that she feels guilty of not using her time properly. Without work to occupy her mind, she feels rather numb and she finds her mind wandering into a spiral of dark thoughts regarding death and morality. It's something that she doesn't find easy to mention to others, even with those she considers as friends. Little does she know, that perhaps she had been investing her time and efforts too much into materialistic things, and hadn't really sought after the true treasures in life.
Bio:
She was born in a circus group shortly before her mother had passed away. She had learnt the trades of knife throwing and climbing up ropes since she could walk. She didn't think much about the life though, and simply did it because she was interested in the work there. She knew very well that her elder cousin and aunt weren't too keen about this line of work either, with the latter constantly looking for some other means of work. It wasn't exactly the most stable job, and with a strange illness diagnosed for her aunt, they had to quit the job at the circus some time soon.
It had taken quite the effort, but after several months of scouring for information and pooling together money, they managed to board onto the world train. Now the question was what kind of work to look for. With the rising number of wealthy families in the front of the car, there was obviously a rise for the industry for personal security. Having a body guard was not only for protection uses, but also a status of wealth. Female personal guards were hard to train and were rare. Not only were they required to be good at combat, they needed to have good people skills, and handle daily necessities for their protection target.
Even though her cousin and aunt weren't keen about it, they couldn't force her to withdraw her application. Her use of quick reflexes did not go to waste as she started training in one of the security companies. She had been surprised that it wasn't just learning how to defend and identify hazardous situations. One must have a combination of observation skills, personal and technology skills. What really drew the girl to wanting to learn was that it seemed like the easy way out from a life of poverty. There was also the lonely impulse of wanting to be like a cool fighter, but that wasn't something one can just tell others and not be judged as insane.
At this point, she had only graduated a few months ago. She isn't very experienced in both combat (physically and mentally), but she has found a resolve within herself to work hard. While waiting for someone to hire her, she has also been visiting the office for bounty hunters. Far too used to having excitement and danger in her life, it felt strange to be spending time quietly alone in her home. It was also to escape thoughts of existential crisis.
Likes:
- anything soft and cuddly. She particularly likes rabbit plush toys.
- buying and collecting small gadgets. Most of these include watches and music boxes.
- having friends.
Dislikes:
- cold and slimy food. Those types of desserts she absolutely hates to eat.
- Obnoxious or annoying people. Even if it is customers and she wouldn't voice it aloud, one can see that she does get irritated.
- being cold, especially to the point her fingers feel numb.
Combat/Livelihood
Skills:
- Well-practised in close ranged combat. Though not the most experienced, and depending on her opponent there may be more opening in her attacks. To compromise, she uses her quick reflexes to recover from attacks fast.
- mediocre skills in managing herself with chores, except mending her own clothes
- Mediocre at academics, but good enough to show that she's got some education.
- Mediocre accuracy with firearms. For mid-range, on average 6/10 shots will hit. The firearms that she's most adaptable to are short to mid-range revolvers (similar to what is shown in the image). In the past, she has handled a sniping rifle before, but with limited experience and will rarely use it.
- She is able to use dual short swords, for her short to mid-range fighting. She would be mediocre in terms of skills and experience, and thus Nifl often relies on her intelligence. (That said, she can easily miscalculate things if she's not too careful).
- She's not the best at technology, but the most common communication and calculation tools are not too hard for her to use once she's read the manual properly. It'll take some time if there is no manual. Debugging when the device is malfunctioning will often take time, unless it is something that she has handled for a long time.
- She is good at voice-acting. She can adjust her voice similar to a more fiercer woman's, or more childish to almost like a pre-teen boy.
Traits:
Female bodyguards have the advantage that they are less noticeable in special circumstances, and are especially convenient to female clients. The second being they can respond quickly less attention from criminals. (This is the general case). Thus, with her slightly childish face, she often dresses in clothes for teenagers to look younger than she would be, and adopts the image of a timid girl. She has a limited range of facial expressions, which is convenient for showing herself as being a composed individual (even if she might be nervous underneath).
From her upbringing, she tends to have rather quick reflexes and great flexibility. In addition she knows extensive parkour, and is especially good at jumping and maneuvering around with little fear in high places
Weapon:
When hired as a bodyguard, the weapons that she carries around with her depend on her job. Sometimes she would carry two sets of short-swords with her, in addition to the weapons that she may or may not be provided with. The short swords vary in length. Generally as a bounty hunter they would be double-edged, and about 45cm in length. For her regular bodyguard work they may a little shorter to be able to hide. Generally these swords are better for cutting and slashing, coupled with her good agility to create a fast-paced combos of attacks on her opponent.
Most commonly, she would be given dual pistols, as shown in the image. Each can shoot 12 bullets each before reloading is required. Nifl makes sure that she carries enough under her skirt. (in the RP, I will keep a value of how many bullets in total she currently has). Where she is working at, the bodyguards are allowed to customize their weapons to some extent during the use, and Nifl likes to add a chain in the end. The chain is good for anchoring onto things, as well as dragging enemies towards her. At the end of the chain, there is a short but sharp tip. It's not the best blade weapon though.
Often she doesn't get the choice to pick which is the additional weapon for her bodyguard work, but it doesn't really bother her since it is up to the bodyguard to be able to adapt to all sorts of situations. Most of the time, Nifl travels light, and carries only her firearms, or only her short swords, but never both at the same time. Otherwise, she would have an additional backpack for it.
The only weapon that she permanently carries around is a pen. It's a regular ball-point pen on one side where you uncork the disguised lid. On the other side where the actual tip is meant to be, is just a regular sharp point. It's not made of metal, but of a crystal with similar properties to lonsdaleite. Generally it is used for stabbing subtle points like neck, joints, etc in close range combat.
Gear:
A mechanical watch that would tell her the date and time. There is also a built-in timer she can set.
A selection of keychains, consisting a mini-torch, lighter and a short needle kit in a case. She doesn't have much use for the last one.
Enhanced googles, to see about thrice as further from the normal human eyes. It acts like binoculars.
