NIX
❁
Spoiler free/basic information
❁
Family
Age: Like he keeps track
Species: Gargoyle (See spoiler information for definition)
Pronouns: He/They
Height: My tallest coming in at a whole 6’9” inches tall… yes it is hard buying clothes for him.
Basic looks: Nix has green eyes and his hair is a copper red. Gargoyles of his kind have a very androgynous appearance so while he is tall he does have a more ethereal look about him with sharp features and eyes that are slightly brighter than they should be, even in the dark. Nix also sports a pair of pointed ears, they aren’t too long but are noticeable when his hair is up,
Personality: Nix is laid back with a sort of sarcastic dark sense of humor. Nix doesn’t often find himself leaving home unless he is sent by Killian on some sort of job or to babysit Orchid when he is getting himself into a lot of trouble. He is kind but there is obviously some sort of wall there and anyone around him seems to avoid talking about why he seems so withdrawn, He jokes and gets along with people just fine but a large portion of his personality just seems to not be there most of the time.

In-depth spoiler information
-
Abilities
Nix is a Gargoyle; Gargoyles are creatures sent down from the ruined kingdom known as heaven to protect the angels it produces to spread the word of Life (Jehovah) as well as fight demons. While they do not need to eat eat or sleep they are normally soulless and do not have personalities nor a will of their own. Nix was dropped down too early so when Killian found him he placed a life seed inside of him to give him a soul and raised him as his own.
-
Enhanced speed when not in direct sight
Despite Nix having a soul he still needs to follow the rules set by Life (Jehovah) in order to use his abilities, no matter how nonsensical they might seem. This includes his enhanced speed only being able to be used when someone isn't looking directly at him. So long as no eyes are on him he can move faster than the human (and some demons) eyes can pick up, making it seem as if he had almost teleported himself into that spot.
-
Night vison
This is exactly what it sounds like, gargoyles are meant to be more capable in combat situation than angels and when fighting demons being able to see in the dark is more than a little important. The night vison does make him a bit more sensitive to the sunlight but not enough for anyone to really notice.
-
Enhanced cognitive skills
If it were not for his soul this skill would manifest itself in the way AI is able to think through complex situations in a matter of seconds and notice things organic brains might not. With the presence of his soul though it is slightly slowed because his own thoughts and feelings take up space in his mind but he is still far more observant and quick witted than most.
-
Enhanced strength
Nix is about as strong as a decently sized demon but there are probably some out there that are stronger than him brute strength wise. This strength raises when he is in his true form.
-
True form
Nix's true form is a larger nearly twelve foot tall humanoid creature with large sharp teeth, four arms and four wings. He still retains his long red hair and his face remains similar to his more human form but his eyes take on a pure green that glow brighter the darker it gets. Strength is enhanced greatly and he gains the ability to fly but his speed not in air is greatly reduced as well.
-
Stone skin
Needing to withstand very powerful attacks Nix's skin is very hard to penetrate so normal weapons will not work outside of a pretty powerful gun to pierce his skin.
-
Gifted weapon
When Nix came of age the weapon made of Life's (Jehovah) feather was gifted to him. At first it was going to be a bow and a set of self replenishing arrows but Nix eventually asked them to be converted to a hand gun to make it easier to carry around and more modern for in public since he can not hide his weapon like his other siblings.
