Special Features: Unlike most of his race, Nima seems to have red eyes instead of yellow though he's unsure as to why.
History: Although Nima wasn't born in the lands of Meridia, having been born on a ship bound for this newly formed country. His family was taken in by nice people living within the country, who felt the people who were fleeing their last home could use a good place to stay. Because of this generosity, Nima was named in line with the cultural values of the tribe that had taken them in. Though his strange eye colour was apparent, no one truly seemed to hold it against the boy and he felt no troubles aside from the normal pains of growing up.
Alongside his mother, Nima started living and working with the merchant caravans that traveled Meridia. This not only helped him see the country he loved on the regular but it also gave him much needed knowledge and respect for the world around him, his own talents also became apparent while living and working with these traveling merchants. Nima became aware that he had a love for animals and they in turn liked his presence as well, as often times animals that were scared and dangerous in the way they were acting often felt at ease while Nima was near them. He soon became charged with taking care of animals that were being transported in these caravans, along the way he was taught many useful things about the world around him as well.
Not only did he pick up scholar like talents such as reading, writing and math but also physical talents and was taught a martial art called White Crane which was indicative the Tsering Tribe. So not only did he learn to fight with his hands but also the weapon forms of this, though not an expert, Nima seemed to take to it well. As he grew in these caravans, Nima watched as people he called friends and family died here and there for various reasons including simply getting to old. One day a strange animal was captured by hunters that had been to one of the many islands off the coast of Meridia, but they were having trouble containing and training the beast because despite its size. It was incredibly savage and wouldn't play nice with anyone, that was until Nima found the thing.
Eventually naming the creature Dache, Nima was essentially told to keep the beast because no matter the length of time it spent with the boy and everyone else. No one was allowed near it by Dache's own reckoning and although it played nice when it had to, most just allowed Nima to keep it as a way to keep the boy safe in his travels. Soon it was common to see both together and getting along well, Nima continued to work with the merchant caravans until it was one day suggested that he make his own way in the world.
His dreams were known well to those that cared about him and they said that he should start as early as he could, to become the Legendary hero that he wanted to become. With everyone giving him a little push, advice and such before leaving, Nima eventually left his on the road home to make a name for himself in the world. All he had was his own person, Dache and a present he'd gotten from another trader for his birthday some years back plus the training to wield the small rounded yet split-able chakram.
Role-Play Sample:
On his first port of call after leaving the caravans, Nima found himself in a big city he'd gone through several times before along side the merchants. So he knew the city decently enough to be able to walk around freely without issue, though it had been some time since he had been within the city limits. With Dache sleeping on his head and under his hat but his large tail was hanging out the back of Nima's hat.
Making the boy almost looked like one of those animal featured tribe members of Meridia but when asked, he just said he had an animal sleeping under his hat. Which most took as a decent enough answer though not everyone believed him, it didn't bother him as he knew lifting the hat would wake Dache up. Eventually, Nima found himself a place to crash for the night but it was too early for him to sleep. As such he took a wonder around town, he had thought the town was safe but when walking around a corner.
Some idiot grabbed his hat off of his head and thought he might be some rich person because his clothes were fairly neat and he held himself fairly well. What they didn't realize was that Dache was under the hat and although they took it without hitting the creature, once the sun hit it's eyes. The little Tufted Ground Squirrel woke up and shot a glare at the one with Nima's hat in his hand, the boy sighed, knowing full well that Dache was about to go wild.
"Just don't kill them, we need to stay here a few days" chimed Nima with a slight sigh at the end, the men looking at the beast couldn't help but laugh as Nima spoke to the creature. Feeling that it's small stature would make it practically harmless but before they could regret their decision, Dache sprung from Nima's head and jumped on one of the men's faces. Scratching it to hell, while he didn't blind the man. The blood from his forehead flowed down and made it impossible for him to see clearly, jumping from the nor flailing man. Dache went at the guy that took Nima's hat who flung it back at the boy as the man attempted to swat at Dache.
As Nima grabbed his hat off of the ground and dusted it off, placing it on his head as Dache went to town on the man. Who was now covered in small bites and scratches, Nima watched as Dache hoped to the ground and went towards Nima as the boy tuned on his heel and started walking away "Try being nicer next time" coined the boy as the two men sat on the ground with their new injuries.
