Ghost Nail's page

"It's time ... ... to leave." The thought seeped into his mind, echoes of a distant past he couldn't quite recall.

He was found wandering out of the darkness while the Blue Veil troupe was between shows, on a stormy evening, some years ago. It was with a fright to the lead wagon driver pulled on the reins of his steed, when the masked figure was noticed moving towards them. A pale glow surrounded him but the figure simply stood in the rain, staring forward with his dark, hollow eyes.
Later, once things had calmed down, the members of the Troupe tried to question the boy. It was discovered that he was wounded and would not speak at first. But even so, Mother Salvensa spoke first for him and implored the others to take him in.
[b]“I will take him, give the boy to me.”

His silence went on for several days, but eventually he responded, not by speaking out loud, but by telepathy. He could not recall who he was, nor his family, and only has a vague recollection that he came from somewhere far to the south where it was cold all the time.

Ghost was a name given to him, partly as a joke regarding how he simply appeared with his ethereal glow. Since the boy had no direction, and he was also different from most, the Troupe offered to let him travel with them, perhaps one of his family would find him at their show. But it wouldn't be for free. He would have to work, outside of and in the show. Ghost accepted their offer.
Perhaps someone would find him someday.

”Well Ghost seems to be doing better, lately. He certainly has warmed up to Vestia and Skizzig, as well as Columbina and Zani and he has been adding more game ideas to Leena and Stoof’s repertoire. He’s a spectacle to see, when he performs his acrobatics, he glows and it really draws the eye!”
"Trauma." he overheard Old Stem say in a hushed whisper. "The boy must have blocked it out. He’s been trying to fill the gaps in his mind by pushing himself. But some of the others don’t care for him, the Great Casby is especially reticent. Ghost won't speak, not normally, anyway. Not that he can't, I've heard him mumble in his sleep, but he just won't. He'll talk to your mind. Something his race can do. But his eyes, I just feel like I’m falling into a deep pit if I stare at him.”

“He is also a blood touched. Like many of us. I’ve seen it.” Said Mother Salvensa. “I’ve done what I can and taught him the value of life and given the gift of healing magic, and I believe there is a spirit which is tied to him and helps guide him but he is still… dangerous. People can tell, like the night we found him. Ghost Nail will be hunted if he ever leaves here.”
”What do we do then? We can’t just get rid of him.”
”No, that would be too dangerous. The Nether follows in his wake like a shadow. He will leave here, in time. But for now, we should keep him close and try to prepare him for a world that will likely never fully accept him. He will need friends, companions, that will stay by his side, lest he give in to his darker impulses. Where better to find than a traveling carnival which accepts all.”

At a height of 6'1, the pale young man standing before you is nearly perfect in build, seemingly hale and hearty, with a mess of snow white and grey hair, a faint aura of light seems to almost glow around him.
A more scrutinizing gaze would find a notable the light seems to fade near mask he wears. It is a bleached solid bone mask, with horns growing up over the head, and his eyes shadowed deeply enough they seem to meld almost perfectly with his head.
But upon closer inspection, the horns are not part of the mask but grow into the head, and his eyes are not simply hidden within the shadows, but they are vast pools of darkness themselves. It is obvious to those who stare, they are looking straight into the void.

Everyone fears something. What do you fear? The source of your fear could be a situation. You might fear being alone or being powerless. It could also be a physical thing such as spiders, snakes, or demons. Why does this fear have power over you?
How do you control your fear when you confront it?
What do you hate? The source of your fear could be the same thing you hate, especially if the fear is a constant concern. Like fears, hatreds can apply to big concepts such as tyranny, slavery, injustice, and suffering. Or it might be a person or organization. Think about a reason for why you hate the thing you do. Has it affected you directly? Have you suffered from it? Or does the hatred reflect one of your ideals?

Love and Desire:
Just as everyone has their fears, they also have their desires.
A desire can be anything you wish. It might be a state of being, a relationship, an object, or an experience. You might desire love, peace, or security. You might crave a relationship with another character. Or, you could seek out a fabled relic or victory over your enemies.
Also, what do you love?
You can love your family, friends, a lover, a companion animal, an object that holds importance to you, or even your nation. Consider the reasons for your love.
Do they arise from an obligation or a duty, or something deeper and more mysterious?

Do you follow through on your promises?
Do you complete tasks that come to you as soon as you can or are you given to delay and procrastination?
Do you feel guilty when you don’t live up to your obligations?

Good and Evil:
Is the world sharply divided into good and evil? Or is it all just shades of gray?
Where do you fall?
Do you help others, act without considering your needs, or give of yourself all that you can? Or do you fulfill your own needs first, exploiting others when necessary to advance your position?
