Appearance
Sad eyes burn with the characteristic gold as if fresh from the forge in an angular face unblemished with disease or time. Blonde hair falls long and loose to frame the face and pointed ears protrude from it. A Cardinal rune of summoning is inked in a flowing pattern on the left side of his face. Garbed in either his dark leather armor or a simple muted tunic and leggings with soft leather boots, Nasir is every inch a Hytori. He walks with the grace of his kind and the confidence of one brought up to know what that means.
While his face is unblemished, his hands are another matter. They are callused and speckled with tiny scars and burns. This contradicts the appearance of high society. For those very perceptive, a thin chain bearing a signet ring hangs around his neck.
Personality
Nasir is in some ways the embodiment of the Hytori tragedy. In a society where family is everything, he has almost none. With noble blood he has no land and very little wealth. Old in a new world his culture is a shadow of the past. This has created a keen sense of ambition and loyalty in Nasir towards his people and their culture. He embraces Hytori convention and takes it upon himself to preserve their storied ways. While he is bears title and blood of nobility, it is little more than an honorific now. As such, he has forged a path his own out of Sol’Valen and into the lands of the other races. This has made him a more pragmatic and accepting version of the Nasir who may have lived in the elven privilege of Turoth. He values loyalty, giving it where it is received. He values the lessons of the past, as many Hytori do, studying the academics as much as the sword. And beneath it all, there is an insatiable need for redemption that guides his every action.
History
Born of a dying house in a land now lost to the Hytori. He was raised with the privilege of a noble of Sol’Valen and taught from a young age the responsibility of his station. But he was the last born in his name, and his house was a failing one. It’s familial lands were lost along with so much of Sol’Valen’s ancient empire and their elders stubbornly clung to the laurels of the past. For the younger generation, such history was academic rather than lived and many sought marriage into other prominent families. Nasir was still a child during all of this.
Born at the end of an age and raised in an age where the might and pride of his people was largely in the past, Nasir clung to the idyllic Sol’Valen, the idyllic Hytori. He felt distinctly like the newest face of a phantom as a youth. He was taught, as befit his station, the Val’Intris swordsmanship and the histories of the family from the guest house the remainder of his family had been gifted by another. He learned the importance of family and tradition when all of his family was dead or scattered and their traditions lived only in him and the mother who raised him.
At the young age of ten years, his father had died. He was left with few memories of the man, and only a signet ring of the Val’Intris to immortalize him. His mother bore the burden of raising the heir to an all but dead house. After her husband died, his mother mourned for nearly twenty years. Eventually though she remarried into another noble family. Nasir followed with her, but was not one of them. She taught him the histories of his own dead house, though she had now joined another. She taught him the flowing art of Val’Intris swordplay and the art of the light step. She taught him of magic and their people’s history of mighty command of the schools of arcane.
Nasir became very taken with some magics, primarily the art of summoning. For one who felt so alone in everything, the idea of allies held him enraptured. The early years of self-discipline in his combat training paid off in the academic study of his personal magics. His mother demanded he be initiated into the art of Kinetics by the house sorcerer of her new family as a final step in his familial tutelage. Traditionally Val’Intris warriors combined the use of dual-wielding and kinetics in combat, and his father had been a practitioner before his untimely death.
Suddenly Nasir was a young noble, the last Val’Intris, living in the household of another family. He felt the need to separate himself, to go or lose his identity. He would not be the ward of another Hytori family, he would be the last of his family.
