Human Nym has an old, hard bitten love of cigarettes and liquor to deaden her pain, favors loose fitting clothing especially robes and simple dresses, and has simple tastes in life. She sighs a lot, especially at the antics of the 'young ones' and is tired of what she calls the Endless War. As an Old soul, Nym radiates power that is deep and complex, multi-faceted | Human Nym has an old, hard bitten love of cigarettes and liquor to deaden her pain, favors loose fitting clothing especially robes and simple dresses, and has simple tastes in life.

+ | Lifetimes of knowledge and familiarity with alien forces like Anima and the Filth have rendered Nym seperate to other humanoids. She is essentially considered a Celestial at this point and as such, I take great care when writing her as a PC because I'm aware it's not fun to interact with 'god-like' characters and her power is mythical, meaning that she spends most of her time as an NPC. | ||
− | + | - Nym is no longer human, her type is now 'Outsider' (e.g. Nephalim/demon) and she is resistant or immune to normal weapons and low level magick. She does not need to eat or drink, cannot be affected by poison or toxins of any type and is immune to sickness and disease, except the Filth and it's effects. She is resistant to the Filth, able to stand in all but the strongest concentrations for extended periods (read: hours or even days) without significant effect, sees through illusions and reads lies told to her easily, and functions as a source of mobile Anima Well for Faction Agents. Filth creatures cannot stand her presence and often become enraged near her, targetting her and only her to the exclusion of all others (this is functionally like a permanent aggro mechanic) as she is considered a blight on the Dreamers. She also regenerates rapidly but once 'killed' and forced to retreat to the nearest source of Anima requires an extended rest (often hours or even days/weeks) before she is 'reborn'. She is not reborn at full strength, but her strength restores gradually over several hours. | |

− | - Nym is | + | - As an outsider, Nym is able to be effected by a range of abilities that do not affect ordinary Bees, such as exorcism and banishment magics. She can also be targetted by the 'Ultimate Powers' bestowed on ex-Tokyo PCs by the Nephalim and this is a significant source of concern for her. |
− | - | + | - Is considered a demi-goddess for the purposes of being prayed to. Can sense her 'name' being invoked in this way from a vast distance and can use the Gaia Transport Network (read: anima wells) to teleport across the planet's surface. This process takes time as her spirit as her Anima 'code' is too dense and complex to be easily understand and translated by an Anima Well. |
+ | - Despite this, much of her power is locked away unless she is in the Forests of Transylvania. This is as much a narrative choice as it is a mechanical one (it's not fun for other players to interact with such a powerful character unless there are checks and balances in place, I understand this). As such, don't expect her to do amazing things in public where revealing her true nature would violate the Secret World. | ||
− | + | - Mythical substances such as holy water or engineered toxins can also affect her. | |
− | - | + | - Her blood is so rich with Anima that she attracts vampires and ak'ab wherever she goes. |
+ | - Can converse with animals, as well as demonic or celestial creatures. Speaks in a 'universal language', meaning she doesn't need to know your language to understand it. | ||
