Nyx Ulric

Nyx is a heroic member of the Kingsglaive who feels indebted to King Regis for saving his life as a child. He has unique abilities to wield royal magic and is known for his bravery in combat, earning him the nickname "hero." Nyx grew up with Libertus Ostium in Galahd and fought against imperial forces before joining the Kingsglaive. Despite being loyal to both Lucis and Galahd, he disobeys orders to rescue Libertus, prioritizing comradery over obedience. Nyx's personality includes humor, loyalty, contemplation, flirtatious nature and occasional defiance when necessary. He is confident but can be seen as arrogant due to this confidence. Despite being well-respected among his peers, Nyx struggles with flashbacks of his sister's death during battles. His quiet contemplation and quick wit make him an interesting character who values friendship above all else. After his sister's death and being saved by Regis, he moved to Insomnia and joined the Kingsglaive. Trained by Captain Titus Drautos, Nyx views him as a mentor and holds loyalty above all orders. Known for his bravery, loyalty, and he has tension with Tredd Furia within the Kingsglaive due to their differing personalities.

Appearance: He's originally from Galahd. Nyx is a 6-foot tall young man with dark gray hair and blue eyes. He wears the black uniform typical of his fellow Glaives, but his is customized with a silver antler or horn on its hood, purple ribbons on its back, and pelts of blue-gray fur on its left sleeve. The ornament indicates his heritage as a member of an ancient lineage of hunters, and posits that it adds credibility to his role as a royal guard.

Nyx's signature weapon is his pair of kukris, one originating from Galahd and the other having been forged in Insomnia, symbolizing both of his homelands.

Nyx has small and subtle tattoos. He has a "crow's foot" on his right cheek, and a line and a dot under his left eye. He has markings on his ears, intersecting lines down his neck, one around his right shin and another around his left forearm. He also has a line down his middle finger of his left hand, and another down his forefinger on his right hand. How his hair was rendered shows the tops of two tattoos on his back; two sets of intersecting lines, one over each shoulder blade.

A Galahd-native coeurl and Nyx's image-motif. Horns and fur on his gear symbolize him being wild and also foreign, as he is an immigrant from Galahd, thus from a different culture compared to Insomnia. Nyx has a voice as a charming, slightly cocky, and smart-mouthed soldier The voice conveys a mix of "deadpan snark" and deep-seated loyalty. It's got a raspy, gravelly quality gritty, weary, yet intensely determined and ranges from cynical quips to raw emotional outbursts, particularly during scenes of high stakes or personal loss.
