race: vishkanya
[hider=vishkanya]Vishkanya are a race of exotic humanoids with poisonous
blood. Possessed of an alien beauty, these graceful
humanoids see the world through serpentine eyes of
burnished gold. Their supple skin is covered with tiny
scales, often of a light green, which are sometimes arrayed
in patterns not unlike those of a serpent. They cannot be
generalized as good or evil, but since they truly speak with
forked tongues, they are content to accept the gold they’re
offered and leave questions of morality to others[/hider]

[center]biography[/center]
Nexu was raised in service to Erthantis and raised to kill. He never knew his parents nor does he know anything of his race only that his whole purpose in life is to serve the dark one. At a young age he slipped free of his instructors and then ran to a nearby village the humans and other such races there fled from him then tried to kill him. Using his training he escaped and then returned to his mentors where he was severely beaten and then starved and dehydrated as punishment. Throughout his life he has known nothing but pain and this has turned him into a cold hearted murderer he kills without reservation or care,but somewhere deep in his heart he refuses to kill children.

As a child Nexu was kind hearted and gentle and disliked combat. However as his teachers who were also his jailors schooled him in the dark arts of assassination and torture(which was often taught when he was the one being tortured) his soul and mind were twisted into dark stains of hatred. At the age of ten they introduced Nexu to a girl who he trained alongside though it was still harsh she was kind and beautiful, and did not fear him as most humans did. This girls name was Allira and she like him had been raised in the darkness but had managed to persevere and was a ray of hope. As they matured and trained Nexu developed deep feelings for the young woman and soon came to love her, but at the age of seventeen as a test of willpower they used back magic to control Allira and make her attack Nexu. Now was the time for his choice and as he plunged his dagger into her beating heart they removed the spell so that her last moments she was returned to herself and he had to stare into the face of his beautiful lover as she died in his arms. As tears streamed from her eyes and she slowly bled to death in his arms she reached up to touch his face one last time and asking in a faint dying heartbroken voice "why........". This was to much for Nexu to bear as his lover died in his arms his sanity shattered and all that was good inside him died. He hated his captors for doing this to him, he hated the world for killing her, and he hated the nine for taking her from him. On that day Nexu lost a part of himself and gave into endless seething rage.

[u]SEVEN YEARS LATER[/u]
In the middle of the his training one day his masters sent for him and as usual he was bound in chains as he was set before them. They had received word from a contact of theirs that the queen had been murdered and now the servants of Eranthis were being called. This being said they ordered him unchained and gave him orders to go to this city and help his new master in any way he could as this was said they plunged a dagger with an ornate golden dragons head engraved into the blade into the table and merely told him to take it. The chains removed Nexu was finally able to do what he had brooded over for seven long years ripping the dagger from the table he sliced his own hand and screaming "I SERVE NONE BUT MYSELF" threw his toxic blood upon them and as they covered themselves to avoid it he leaped over the table and carved their flesh from their bones. The slaves that had once been his guards made no action to help what had once been their masters they merely stood their as this reptilian man wrought the very flesh from their corpses and broke their already dead bones in his mindless rage."Now my love I have avenged thee and I will help this dark one Eranthis until I destroy the nine and I can reclaim you as my own" as he said this Nexu cut the no longer beating heart from one of his masters and crushed it in his hand. Walking past the slaves that stood in the doorway he calmy stepped out of the doors of his prison for the first time in fifteen years and his journey for vindication began.
