Name: Nyra Carciphi

Age: 225

Mental Age: 15

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Q: Regular or Irregular? ->A: Regular

Species: Deep Sea Wraith

Appearance: Nyra is usual covered from head to foot in cloth bandaging that's been soaked in oil. This is because her shin is extremely sensitive to drying out, so she has to protect it from heat and light. Beneath the wrappings her skin is black and smooth, almost like a frog's, and her entire body is extremely thin and bony. Her fingers, usually padded with extra cloth, are actually thin and needle-like, and her moth is filled with many small but extremely sharp teeth. She has triangular ears, cat-like in shape, that are usually pressed flat against her head but can actually move in every direction separately.

Personality: Nyra is shy and pretty quiet, but oftentimes her curiosity gets the better of her and she can't help herself from asking nonstop questions about things. She wants to know about everything new she sees. She gets especially excited when there's Shinheuh involved. She absolutely loves Shinheuh, no matter the shape or size or how dangerous in may appear. She's accustomed to survival of the fittest and understands that fighting is necessary to climb the tower, but that doesn't mean she likes it, and she'll try to stop unnecessary fighting between friends.



Position: Anima

Affiliation: Neutral

Abilities and skills:

Deep Sea Wraith Physiology: Sea Wraiths are amphibious, and while they can live on land perfectly fine, they need to keep their skin wet at all times, and as such they must avoid exposure to heat and harsh light. Nyra deals with this by covering her skin in oil-soaked bandages, however she has to be even more careful to avoid fire since she isn't exactly sure how flammable the oil she's using is. Sea Wraith's are incredibly weak physically; their skin is thin and easily cut, and their flexible bones can be snapped like twigs from even minor hits. They are perfectly suited for the dark and being underwater though. Sea Wraiths have excellent night vision, and even better hearing when there's not even a minuscule amount of light to see by. When in the water tiny sensors all over the Sea Wraith's body can feel subtle changes in water pressure and tiny movements rippling through the water. It also goes without saying that they are excellent swimmers, capable of moving through the water faster and with more agility that most other races can even think to replicate. Sea Wraiths are also carnivores, usually eating raw fish. (Nyra may or may not develop a Sushi addiction later on.)

Shinsoo Resistance: Nyra's resistance to high-concentrations of Shinsoo is quite high for a fresh regular. Ironically, since she was born in a place with incredibly-high water pressure and the feeling of Shinsoo pressure is very similar, she's actually more at home when there's more Shinsoo pressure. She just isn't used to there being little or no pressure surrounding her, so she seems very clumsy and losses her balance often when there's not a lot of Shinsoo pressure.

Anima: Nyra has an unusual ability to speak to and control the many types of Shinheuh that inhabit the tower. Even when she doesn't talk to them, Shinheuh still seem drawn to her.

Weapons: Nyra is pretty terrible with most types of weapons, so it's not too big of a surprise that her Arms Inventory doesn't have any real weapons. Instead it holds a number of glass orbs, bowls to hold compressed Shinheuh. Currently only one of the bowls is occupied at the moment: it contains two young Pit Eels, one Black one Gold.

History: Nyra grew up in a great underwater city suspended above a deep pit. Countless Shinheuh swam just outside the city's edge, and even more, larger, types lived below in the pit itself. Nyra was constantly slipping out of the city to play with the Shinheuh, even diving down into the darkness of the pit to see what kind of creatures lived down there that didn't like coming up where she could see them from the city. She wasn't alone in her adventures though, she had her older brother Arsean right there with her. Truth be told he was the instigator of pretty much everything, Nyra just tagged along. He's the one who ignited her spark of curiosity without which she probably wouldn't have ever left the city she was born in.

During one of their adventures down in the pit they stumbled upon the den of two huge Pit Eels. Anyone else would have been terrified or ran away from the gigantic beasts, but Arsean and Nyra were loved by the Shinheuh, and these creatures were no exception. The siblings made a habit of visiting the eels, and eventually the two Pit Eels became comfortable enough with the siblings that they ascended from the depths to show themselves to the other people within the underwater city. That was a mistake. A group of Rankers in the area heard of the creatures and decided to test himself against them, after all it isn't every day a new type of massive beast shows up. The Pit Eels were large yes, and under normal circumstances incredibly dangerous, but the Rankers had numbers and were prepared. Both of the eels died without putting up much of a fight.

Nyra was devastated that the eels had been killed, and while she was still busy crying over what had happened Headon was appearing before her brother down in the pit where he was watching over the eels' offspring. He left to climb the tower, at least according to the message he wrote on the wall of the pit. Nyra kept adventuring outside the city alone, but now it was to take care of the two eggs that hadn't yet hatched when the parent ells had died. It took a long time, so long she thought they had both died a long time ago and she was taking care of them in vain, but the eggs did eventually hatch, and after they did Headon appeared before her and asked her the same question he'd asked her brother. Did she wish to climb the tower?
