"Well then picture this: An old friend coming to help do something that, by description, is completely ludicrous and suicidal under the most literal definitions of the words." --Nebulan
Overview
Nebulan became a student of High Mage Tibas at the age of fifteen. Seven years later when The High mage died, he was put on assignment with Jennifer Darnel to Spy on the enemies of the Nobles and covertly kill leaders of organizations that would wish the Kingdom harm. Five years ago he returned to be charged with the overseeing of the Tower of the Arts at Rouen Isle by, the now High Mage, Darnel. Recently, the Tower was attacked, Nebulan was taken prisoner, and subjected to an experiment by Lord Turin. The results give him his disturbing appearance. Nebulan's skin is as black as night, darkened to the point that it looses all detail. His face is made of darkened mist. He wears a simple brown hooded robe to conceal some of his face. He stands at around 6' 2. Nebulan is visibly anxious to hunt the son of his attacker and reverse the curse placed upon him. His fusion with the Ancient Guardian, Gutaraie, Has given him strange and mysterious power and understanding of the world he, himself is still learning. Whether or not the new power is permanent is unclear. It seems to be dependant on how he will deal with the physical effects of the fusion.
Residence
Nearly nomadic behavior had become well practiced during the first half of his life. He moved wherever his orders took him. Much of the time lodgings equal to or lesser than the comforts of a tent were made to him. This was common to him for so long it had almost become preferred to a permanent and proper bed. As of five years before the story began, Nebulan’s official residence was in the Tower of the Arts, on Rouen Isle. Since the attack however, his residence is where ever he happens to be when he's asleep. Given recent travel, this is taking the form of a cabin in an imperial ship. During his command of the Tower of the Arts his duties included overseeing day to day functions as well as the tower’s research projects. One such project was to examine and procure information regarding the shard of dark glass. Since Lord Turin's attack he has no required duties, but he travels with his old friend, the now High Mage, Jennifer Darnel, to discover more details about the increasingly powerful forces of the shadow. He has also once again become responsible for the share of dark glass, whose true purpose is not yet fully understood.
Abilities and Possessions
Nebulan has gained much in the way of power due to the experiments preformed by Lord Turin. While the extent of his powers are unexplored, he has been reported to vaporize, cause earthquakes, break enchanted bonds, and crush with pure thought. Although not technically classed as an item, Nebulan has the ability to summon and dismiss a dark ethereal staff, whose detail is lost in its black color. Though he has had this ability since started to learn magic, the staff’s dark appearance mirrors the lack of visible detail in his skin. Speculations on this fact may range from foreshadowing to fate.
Acquaintances
A powerful mage and political figure, Lord Turin was known for his short temper and constant search for power. At the start of the RP he launched an attack on Nebulan’s Tower and took him prisoner. His experiments have made him what he is today. Lord Turin was killed by Nebulan at the end of the experiments.
Gutaraie
A life long friend who 'kept the same expressionless face as he always had with the same glossy eyesight that seemed to see through to everything but look at nothing.' Attempted to tell Nebulan something about himself before being fused with Nebulan.
Duran
Following the successful attack on an extremist fortification lead by Nebulan and Darnel, Duran was tasked with the defense of the Tower of the Arts on Rouen Isle. Duran is Nebulan’s most trusted lieutenant for the years he spent in his service. He had recently joined back up with Nebulan and the High Mage to the Hex Plane.
One of two High Mages of the Kingdom, Jennifer Darnel and Nebulan were tasked with the killing of leaders of extremist organizations hostile to the Kingdom. She was made High Mage five years ago and has control over all mages affiliated with the Kingdom. Her robes are a dark purple with a gold spiraling design. She is dying of an unknown illness. Nebulan sought her permission to hunt Lord Turin's son and she gave him a boat and permission.
Nebulan’s first meeting with Adrasha had left mixed feelings with everyone. Circumstantial evidence may have placed a charge of treason on Adrasha under the right opinions on suspicions. Nebulan in interrogation alluded no suspicion and only focused on the goal. Since Adrasha has joined them in travel to the Hex plane and no problems have arisen from either’s presence, it’s probably safe to say that neither has a particularly strong opinion of the other, though general notes can be made.
