Nyxis or Nyx to his friends
Male undine shaman (witch doctor) 10
NG Medium outsider (native)
Init +3; Senses darkvision 90 ft.; Perception +22, Sense Motive +16
Background:
Nyx grew up in Absalom where he spent is youth on the water front earning coins retrieving items from the harbor bottom. His adventures as a teen included salvage from the Flotsoam graveyard there. His calling as a shaman and healer led him first to a group of Undine within the city in the center of the world and eventually to the Pathfinders. His early days of an adventure were filled with missions from the society and his name appears one more than one chronicle. As his power and renown grew he was eventually sent to fight demons.
A Veteran of the fighting in the World Wound, Nyx served as a combat medic and on strike teams against demons and their allies. His experiences there taught him his extra-planar languages and the idea that a Dismissal spell can sometimes save the day. He is not ready to hand up his adventuring hat and looks for his next opportunity.
Personality:
If the World Would have let him Nyx could have been a pacifist. His time in the world Wound prevented that. Still he is reluctant to harm and does so as a last resort. He is observant and questioning and slow to speak. He is friendly and supportive of his allies to the point of taking their wounds onto himself through Life Link.
Appearance:
Nyx is a blue skinned Undine. He is at home in the water and his appearance reflects this. He has gills and his fingers are webbed. His slight frame supports his near cat like grace and he is handsome in an other-worldly sort of way. He wears a breastplate with inlay of crashing waves and carries a longspear and underwater crossbow, both made by skilled craftsmae. A single ioun stone orbits his head.
