{RESIDENCE}

{PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION}

• Short for a Neph character; But don't let that fool you any. While no one would ever describe Nakhti has hulking, there is no mistaking the power beneath his armor. His arms are muscled from years of swinging a sword, and his legs are built for running. Perfect for chasing down whatever quarry needs chasing.
• Marks of a life (not so) well lived; Nakhti's got quite a few nicks and cuts from a long career of scraping and fighting for a living, scars across his arms and chest just as you'd expect. A few markings were of his own design though, black tattooing across his wrists and over the tops of his hands, as well as a few symbols etched along his biceps and shoulders.
• Wild animal; Both in mannerism as well as appearance. Nakhti's hair has the coloration of fur, and the wiry thickness of it in places as well. Pair that with a sharp set of teeth, and you have a very efficient "angry snarl" face.
• Could probably use a bath that doesn't involve just rolling around in the river mud.

{PERSONALITY}

• Flirt; Nakhti has energy to spare, and he often uses it to lay on the charm, chatting and joking and flirting with anyone and everyone if he thinks there's something to be gained from it.
• Opportunist; Amazingly perceptive, Nakhti doesn't let the details just pass him by. He makes note of his surroundings as a rule, from the make of the stone to the pottery to who's between him and any potential windows. He knows how to make the most of a situation, and will improvise readily and with great vigor.
• Gallows humor; Nakhti handles hurt and fear and all the other nasty aspects of life in the only way he knows how: by making fun of it. Rather than mope or cry, he much prefers to shake it off with a joke, and he'll be damned if he'll let anyone see when something actually bothers him.

Fun Facts!:

• Has a serious substance habit. It depends on his mood and how much coin he has to spare, but he tends to favor anything that can help him relax and forget the world for a little while. Blue lotus is always a good time.
• Suffers from nasty headaches, about the only time where he stops being such a jovial prick.
• Bit of a scavenger! He likes collecting weird things, but never more than he can carry at any one time.
• Reading is boring and forever taking and libraries make him sneeze.

{SPECIAL ABILITIES}
Shapeshifter - Nakhti turns into a coyote whenever the mood strikes. Good for slinking about and snapping up food when he doesn't have the coin to actually buy it.

While he's not a woof woof, he still maintains some aspects of his other nature, including an excellent sense of hearing and smell and a tendency to bark-laugh more than anything.

{RELATIONSHIPS}
No family to speak of, certainly not this far into the desert. He's not originally Essyrni as anyone can tell from his coloration, but heck if he actually knows since he's been on his own for as long as he can remember.

{HISTORY}
Bad dog.
