This pale half-elf stands tall in his loose homespun clothes. All he owns is carried at his belt and in the bag on his back. His lower right arm is covered in a leather glove with two large pointed bones strapped to it, matching the spurs at his elbows, knees and the tips of his boots. They would be painful weapons in combat. He has tousled black hair that looks as though it has never known a proper comb, and his face has a fresh scar on it's chin, likely gained only days before coming to the monastery.
History:
A life on the street is never easy. The easiest part, to Nisk, was to take what others owned. Through force or thievery, it was always easy for the scrawny half-elf to gain everything he could like. He lived well from the streets. But he longed to find his family, and reunite with his parents, who must surely feel they had made a mistake to abandon their son years ago. He grew in his early life under the tutoring of a retired cage fighter, Stalle. When he grew enamored of the movements of Stalle’s pet snake and began to copy it, the older elf told him he could learn the ways of the monk. However, Nisk was far too reckless and destructive for Stalle’s monk training to take much hold. Stalle was killed weeks after this revelation, murdered by a gang of boys whom Nisk had tangled with before, and robbed. Nisk returned in time to hear his master’s last words, which sent him along his way to Master Gond, far away in his monastery. Nisk set out, though not after making a stop. The boys will never be seen on the streets again.
Fighting Style:
Nisk fights with sinuous, quick motions designed to draw the eye away from his intended strikes. His attacks often come close together in pairs, reflecting the snake whom he emulates. He strikes often with elbows and knees, using his fists and feet more as distractions unless needed. Nisk studies an opponents eyes constantly, using his innate knowledge of signals to catch opponents off guard with extremely powerful strikes or avoiding their strikes by seeing where they are going rather than their feints. He moves constantly about, always keeping his footing solidly upon the floor but keeping himself moving and low to the ground. When Nisk closes to grab, he fights in smaller, circular motions, keeping his opponents fingers and hands from him, while holding their arms or legs.
His style is extremely close to Muay Thai, with grappling moves seen more in stylized versions.
