Overview

Everyone has seen them. Those quiet, nerdy kids that sit in the back of class and try to be invisible. The ones that are smart but never apply themselves. They have weird pastimes, like playing pen-and-paper role-playing games or collecting Anime. Every now and then, something amazing happens. This is one of those times.

Character Background

The Tome

Eric Shelton was a young man with no social skills and an above-average intelligence. As with most "nerds" his age, he began to join a gaming group at the local library he frequented. He became very involved, seeing the game as a way to escape his life, even if only for a little while. When the GM brought a new book to game night, the group thought nothing of it. Unbeknownst to everyone involved, the book was in fact a powerful magical artifact, recently recovered from Oranbega and lost by the MAGI office into the general public. When the book was opened, the library was engulfed in raw magical energy. By the time the authorities showed up, the library was in ruins, in the center of which was a group of unidentified persons. Eric woke up to find that he had, like the rest of his gaming group, become his character - a busty half-demon rogue.

The Zig

Unable to prove their identity, the group was brought to Zigursky Penitentiary for questioning. Their appearance, in conjunction with their lack of identifying paperwork or fingerprints, led the PPD to chose to detain them with the general population. Eric was unprepared for this, and quickly learned the importance of maintaining a low profile. He discovered that he had a nearly supernatural ability to hide from view, and was much more agile as well. Eric came to the assumption that he had inherited his character's abilities when he assumed her body as well. While they were there, Arachnos attacked the facility for Recluse's Project DESTINY. Scared and unsure of what to do, Eric fled into the city. Unable to return home, he began searching for a way to change back to his old self.

The Search

The Skyway Incident

The Present

Now, nearly a year and a half since the incident, after fighting countless Circle of Thorns, Banished Pantheon and Carnival, Eric is finally accepting his fate and has begun to accept himself as Neekala.

Personality

Eric was a quiet, introverted young man. Extremely non-confrontational and passive, he was often picked on at school. As Neekala, however, he is a completely different person. She is outspoken, catty and aggressive, coupled with a quick wit and devious demeanor. People who have talked with her find her charismatic and clever, although she very rarely lets people know she was there. Neekala plays the rogue, but still has a love of attention she gets when she helps people. This leads her to take risks to be a hero that would leave many others hesitant.

Powers/Tactics

Eric has inherited all of the abilities his character had. He found that he can easily sneak past almost anyone, and has become a deadly blade dancer. Add to her martial prowess her impressive bluffing and street-smarts, and Neekala is able to get out of almost any situation. On teams, Neekala continues the role she played when she was just a character on paper. She will scout ahead of the party, dispatching lone targets quietly or snatching important items under the noses of the guards. In a battle, she will often try to quickly neutralize the enemy leadership or support, leaving the underlings to the brutish methods of her teammates.

Dual Blades

Neekala's two Desertwraith blades are enchanted artifacts holding the powers of flame and unerring accuracy (Flame Burst and Precision Enchantments). Like a hot desert wind, Neekala uses her blades in a dance, quickly slashing and impaling people all around her. This allows her to rapidly and efficiently neutralize lone sentries and groups of enemies with equal precision.

Ninjitsu

Neekala's experience in the blade-dancing arts has sharpened her mind and quickened her reflexes. She can nimbly dodge many attacks, and is rarely surprised by an enemy.

Other Powers

Goals/Motivations

For the longest time, all that Eric could think about was changing back. As time wore on, and Neekala became more and more renown, Eric was forced to rethink his goals. Now that he has come to embrace his new identity, Neekala has set her sights on higher goals. She has begun the path to Incarnatehood, and has begun to experience life as a young woman in Paragon.
