She initially joined the Templars who promised her resolution to her questions, but after staying with them for a short time realised they were mostly smoke and mirrors and promised more than they were actually capable of delivering, so she wandered Asia, eventually falling in with the Dragon with whom she served dutifully for a number of years, despite a growing sense of unease. Fearing a second 'recurrence' of what caused her to leave her family in the first place, she fled. At some point she also came into contact with an ancient weapon of power, a sword from the Third Age which spoke to her in a way she could not understand. Owing to how heavy it was in her hands, forcing her to become physically stronger and more fit to adequately wield it, she nicknamed the sword Burden. | She initially joined the Templars who promised her resolution to her questions, but after staying with them for a short time realised they were mostly smoke and mirrors and promised more than they were actually capable of delivering, so she wandered Asia, eventually falling in with the Dragon with whom she served dutifully for a number of years, despite a growing sense of unease.

− | Becoming her own agent for a time, a middle aged Nym came across Cucuvea in Transylvania who looked her straight in the eye and said something that caused a deep recognition within her. They talked late into the night and come the morning Nym made to leave, but Cucuvea said to her 'You've been down that road before. Is that really where you want to go?' Baying her to stay, Nym came to live with Cucuvea and became her live-in protege, student to an unconventional and often crotchety old crone. After some months of apprenticeship the old woman abruptly came to her, informing her that she could not teach anymore and that the 'fledgling bird must leave the nest sooner or later'. She advised Nym learn more about the Filth so she could understand not only her enemy, but more importantly why she fought. | + | Becoming her own agent for a time, a middle aged Nym wandered for several years, eventually coming to terms with her nightmares. With the benefit of time, the se were revealed to be memories of distant lives and of significant traumas she had experienced.

During this time Nym met and became fast friends with a man known as Atley, and a woman known as Casey, the latter becoming an important member of her family, while the former convinced her to at last give up the responsibility of the sword she had brought with her. This was of great importance to Nym as it symbolised a contract she had forged in blood lifetimes earlier. Immediately she felt her spirit lightened and gladly relinquished the cursed sword to Atley's safekeeping, finding herself a simpler, less storied weapon to use in the meantime. In her interactions with Atley and Casey, Nym came to understand that her reason for being is to protect others, that if she did her job right, her son and daughters need never learn of the horrors of the Secret World. | During this time Nym met and became fast friends with a man known as Atley, and a woman known as Casey, the latter becoming an important member of her family, while the former convinced her to at last give up the responsibility of the sword she had brought with her.

+ | Nym is a world weary woman who just wants to be left alone. She doesn't have time for the 'problems of the flesh' anymore and considers the Factions and their petty squabbles beneath her. She has bigger fish to fry. Despite this, lifetimes lived as a protector and servant of Gaia have given her a hard, practical edge and a kind, if fiercely protective nature that lends itself to helping and safeguarding others. She is attracted to the innocent and those unaware of their own power or those who require mentoring and guidance but doesn't consider herself a teacher. | ||
