Nikolai stands at five feet, eight inches. Not quite as tall as his brother and yet he is not to be counted out, either. He is light and quick on his feet and he still holds immense power within his vastly muscled frame. His frame is lengthy and slender and yet corded head to toe with muscle. His hair holds dark shades of brunette and darker blonde streaks from work in the sun. His eyes are a soft, dark brown always seeming to hold a warm and liquid gaze and yet hard as steel for his portrays the outlook that he will never let anyone in. He gives off the look of being hard as steel with a clenched jaw and a hard working attitude and yet at times his eyes hold a playful and inviting spark. With a cheeky tongue he typically has no problems speaking to others. His skin is tanned and vibrant, taught against the muscles that line his frame. His facial features are angular and at times he can come across as arrogant. With broad shoulders and a strong back, everything below the armor is enticing and full fledged masculine and with a heart of gold, this man is a catch.
Nikolai can often be found in the typical get up when training from the simple guards at his shins and upper arms as well as a simple cover about his waist to keep himself covered simply and not fully armored for he doesn’t care to carry full armor when he trains. He is dressed lightly, allowing a full view of his well developed body. When he is in full armor however he wears an array of metal from his chain mail shirt to the chain mail leggings for protection as well as the plate of armor that fits over his mail short and the metal that clings to his legs. On his head is placed the typical helmet of all the guard with a spade shaped opening to view out of and speak with. A small tuft of crimson died hairs flares out of the top of his helmet.
When he is not in armor and he is not training which isn’t often, his casual clothing typically consists of simple black cloth pants and a leather strap across his chest with the symbol of the royal guard emblazoned into the leather. His sword however always hangs at his side though now and again can be spotted a bow and arrows at his back as well. Typically he wears no shirt however and usually runs half clothed. When in his casual attire he often runs with fingerless leather gloves fitted to his hands as well which provide better grip with his sword.
Personality:
Nikolai is quite the character as when he is training, he hardly speaks. He believes purely in the honor of his work and he is stubborn. He is almost constantly working whether it is training, serving the royals as a guard, or working out when he isn’t around the castle to maintain the wicked level of muscle that lines his frame. He constantly strives however to reach higher than his brother, feeding off of the hard crack of his older brother and the higher stance that he stands at, Nikolai strives to be better. He ignores his brother’s hard words as he has lived with him all his life and by now is used to the demeanor. He is not often in a bad mood and typically maintains a rather chipper attitude but quite often he holds the look that hardly allows anyone in. He has never opened his heart to any woman other than his own mother whom he vows to protect always.
He does however harbor a rather stubborn streak as well, when his mind is set to do something he does it right. Though he doesn’t talk to many very often he is typically friendly when he does. Light and care free the male often wanders without anything to weigh upon his shoulders and yet deep within he harbors a protective attitude that is activated when any threaten those that he cares for including his brother or his mother. He can certainly be serious when he needs to be and when in battle, he grits his teeth and becomes quite a fierce and furious fighter. He has quite a bit of skill for what he does and has forever devoted himself to being a guard. At times, he does maintain a rather bitter seeming attitude when he is focused or working and that attitude came sometimes come across as rather rude or brutally sharp and yet if you were to meet him outside of his work or training he seems to maintain a different character altogether. With a kind heart and a humorous side he tends to win over quite a few people but those he brings close are rare and chosen only when he fully trusts and cares for them, which is hard to obtain from Nikolai for building relationships is something that he doesn’t do swiftly.
History:
As a child, the boy had always lived a care free and simple life. From the start however he had always appreciated the handle of a sword and from a wooden sword given to him by his mother, to a real crafted blade given to him by his father, he had always had a natural knack for using the blade for which later in life he would develop a skill for handling.
He had always seemed to have a relatively normal childhood with a set of parents who cared for both himself and his brother, Oenomaus. His father had however held a rather tough attitude, constantly pushing his boys and teaching them simple lessons of the blade of a sword as well as basic archery skills.
At first, Nikolai had pulled away, rather instead enjoying battling other children without studying much but when his brother began to improve and show skills that Nikolai desired, the boy settled a bit instead to study further from his father where he finally took a serious hold of his love for battle and swordsmanship.
Years of studying brought him into a skilled young man that was already beginning to develop skills that he would later hone in life. At the age of eleven, however, his father was killed in battle serving as an Ellsinora guard. Nine years younger than his brother, Oenomaus joined the guard soon after though Nikolai was left behind with his mother.
Frustrated and angered that things were no longer the same, that he couldn’t help just as his brother did and pampered, harbored by his mother’s loving hands, he festered as he remained at home. His mother, Vivian had worried for Nikolai’s safety though she hadn’t been too much happier that Oenomaus had joined the guard though she supported his decision and had been proud, she had no plans that her younger son would be lost.
Always holding a soft spot for her young son, Vivian kept him safe for some years, keeping him close to home until at the age of eighteen, he snuck away often to hide around the castle and guard quarters where he picked up on a few extra skills studying the guards that studied and trained there around the castle. This was where Nikolai was destined to go.
His life remained quiet though often he would travel into town to linger around the Blue Boar and other festivities that brewed up within the town, enjoying the night life now and again as the rush was enticing to him. He often indulged in strange and foreign liquors with sharp tangs and tastes and he had his hand at nearly any woman he wanted though he never completely gave his heart to any woman he simply tested and enjoyed flirting and keeping their company now and again.
However, by the age of twenty, he was beginning to sober up once again, taking an interest in the business of his brother and by the age of twenty, he was drafted into the guard of Ellsinora. By this point his mother’s stress and worry had spurred her to believe that her youngest son would now be safer in the hands of the guard, hoping that the business would drill better values into Nikolai’s mind.
At first, Nikolai despised the work. He couldn’t stand the training, the hours of endless work and polishing of armor and weapons, the ridiculous hours in the sun working to serve the royals of Ellsinora and yet when he came to view his brother’s stature as a trainer, the honor that he stood for, the status that he held, he soon came to respect more than irritate and so his ways changed.
Now, three years later and working for the guard he holds a much different view of life. Now he holds ultimate respect and love for his brother and though he still does not talk much to his fellow guard, he would step up to cover the back of any guard that serves Ellsinora. The honor that he stands for burns rampant within his heart and his duty is something to respect as he now develops into a much more respected guard of Ellsinora.
Items/Pets:
He has a silver handled sword that always travels at his side. Basic and yet always kept polished, sharpened, and impressive, it is settled in a fine leather sheath at his side with a leather belt that wraps around his waist.
At his back and when he is off duty he also carries a quiver and set of arrows as well as his bow. The bow is made of dark, mahogany wood and his arrows are hand crafted by himself and he is very skilled with both though he holds a much more vast expanse of skill with his sword.
Other:
He is the younger brother of the Trainer and Head Guard, Oenomaus.
