Nais Verlain

Personality

• Smug and often described as 'cocky', Nais blows off the descriptors of himself and continues to do his own thing. Because he is a brawler, some people have the misconception that he is hot headed and temperamental. Nais is actually pretty calm headed and easy to talk to when he is out of the boxing ring.
  
  Despite his collected demeanour, Nais can flip pretty quickly to being sarcastic and cocky when he feels like the time is right for it. This results in some minor disputes and some minor apologies. Though... it is never really Nais' intent to purposefully offend people unless he feels they deserve it. In some cases, that could be a lot of the time, or nearly none of the time depending on who he is hanging out with.
  
  When it concerns things that he did not sign up for, however, Nais is actually pretty begrudging in how he deals with the situation and the people around him. He does not often like being told what to do, and he especially dislikes it if his own ideas or wants are being overlooked in lieu of the thing that he does not want to partake in. This happens quite a lot, and it seems that there are only a couple people that can convince him to do the things he does not want to.
  
  However, should Nais warm up to people, he will comply more often and he will actually go out of his way to stick his neck out for the people that he feels deserve his support. Though he comes off as dismissive or even a little terse with his words when they go ahead and confront him about this, Nais will adopt his old cocky behaviour and talk to them as if they are friends rather than as if they dragged him out to do something he disagreed with at first.
  
  Earning Nais' trust is actually quite difficult as well. While he will do his best to protect those that are weaker than him without giving up his personal freedoms, he also tends to shy away from getting too close or becoming buddies with the people around him. From his experiences growing up and being shunned by mostly Humans and other differing races, this is not something that is uncommon with Nais and his overall demeanour concerning others.

• Traits & Drawbacks

  Traits
  
  Armour Expert - You have worn armour as long as you can remember, either as part of your training to become a knight's squire or simply because you were seeking to emulate a hero. Your childhood armour wasn't the real thing as far as protection, but it did encumber you as much as real armour would have, and you've grown used to moving in such suits with relative grace.
  
  Benefit: When you wear armour of any sort, reduce that suit's armour check penalty by 1, to a minimum check penalty of 0.
  
  Resilient - Growing up in a poor neighbourhood or in the unforgiving wilds often forced you to subsist on food and water from doubtful sources. You've built up your constitution as a result.
  
  Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves.
  
  Drawbacks
  
  Pride - You can’t abide challenges to your dignity, authority, or honour.
  
  Effect: When someone threatens, accuses, or challenges you, you take a –2 penalty on Diplomacy checks and Sense Motive checks involving that creature until the creature apologizes to you.
