CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
Yet, the stories were often cold and other times, even if the souls had accepted death, they could express emotions and thoughts beyond mere words. Nidhogg discovered his empathic ability, every emotion made the difference in a soul’s words, he could read them perfectly. It was so interesting, almost as if speech alone was enhanced and could almost witness the scenes they described, and terrifying all the same.
How unfair, he thought. Thus he opened up with a fellow Shinjin that he had befriended from the beginning and her name was Ratatoskr, a gentle creature that sympathized with Nidhogg and his kindness. Both of them being young Shinjin as they were, they grew curious and wondered what it was truly like to live in the living world and thus they decided to sneak outside and see the world for themselves.
They witnessed vice, conflict and pettiness. It was far worse than the stories led them on, and yet foolishly in their youth, they chose to try and confront them about it and announced themselves as angels on a mission of peace. It did not end well. Whether it be for culture, religion or simply disbelief they did not believe the man and proceeded to assault them, and had Nidhogg watch while a flaming spear tore through Ratatoskr’s chest.
Unable to flee to the Otherworld sooner, she perished, while Nidhogg was overwhelmed and his heart burned with wrath, he let it take over and made a bloody banquet of skulls, from each and everything individual that had wronged them. Shaken and frozen, he retreated to the realm of the dead, only to isolate himself for his friend had been recycled as punishment for her actions. The only few he kept any semblance of contact with were his brothers, only they would know that Nidhogg continued to return to the living world and waged wars against mankind.
He did often employ disguises and whatnot but not to manipulate from behind the shadows, rather he took a different identity each and every time. He killed warlords and took their name, or appeared before the zealots in the image of their God and prayed for war, and even fought their own battles in the battlefield, tasting exaltation from the bloodshed.
Until the Horseman were finally faced with the responsibility of their actions, or rather, an army of otherworldly creatures. He was there, and fought alongside his brothers, but eventually he fell and he was also sealed away together with them.
He remained dormant for countless years, however his hatred raged much like a tempest in the middle of the ocean. There was neither beginning nor end to the swirling rage that yet sought to consume mortal life.
Then Cyprus escaped. His senses awakened and left a seal over the weakened spot through which he had left, even when sealed again, all he required was simply a little force to escape, in the form of an insect, invisible to the naked eye and ran off to the mortal world.
Finally, the bloodshed resumed for countless years from planet to planet around the universe. He had returned, far more reckless and merciless, having become so rotten inside that even his hair turned dark. Nidhogg visited Sadala at one point and while he was readying himself for yet further carnage, he met a Saiyan warrior. She was much different from the rest, so kind and ready to listen, she reminded him so much of Ratatoskr that he could not help but eventually grow feelings for her.
Such interest eventually became mutual. No longer did he incite war but instead insisted to simply enjoy her company, perhaps a tribute to the old tranquil days back in the Otherworld when he spent hours conversing with his friend, and continued to do so for many moons. They could not have children, and instead adopted them, creating a large family. It was not so bad, perhaps, and then she died. He suffered greatly for the second time. This time he did not go on a rampage, he held tightly for his children, but so did they wither and die eventually. Until he was all alone and abandoned.
Her face was still vivid in his mind. It was…
It was…
Why could he not remember her face? It was as if the very corners of her features had been scorched, much like a piece of paper.
This would become a common feeling for him in the years to come. He would forget, and then remember, only to forget the next day. And yet, in his madness, he realized what was going on; he was sick. He did not know what kind of illness had struck him, but he rushed to find a solution and found himself wanting for supporters or any good soul that would aid him. Nidhogg could only trust himself, thus he built himself a suit of armor that could hopefully support his memories and vitals so that he would remember, unable to truly create something like this with science, he created an artificial heart through the use of alchemy… using the corpses of his family as fuel.
And he made it. But it did not cure him, it was no different than a bandage.
All he could do was make the most of it. The glory, the blood, all of those things would go forgotten entirely one day. If he was not to see the end of time, he would make sure to live one glorious final war.

[/div][/spoiler]BACKGROUND: Nidhogg was born, far too long ago to truly keep count, together with other Shinjin and labored to allow the souls of the living world to settle in and find peace in the beautiful Otherworld. He was of course no machine, for even a deity could grow interests and hobbies. For one, Nidhogg loved talking stories with the souls, he was the most curious and perhaps even one of the most sensitive and caring Shinjin to ever be born. A softie, surely.Yet, the stories were often cold and other times, even if the souls had accepted death, they could express emotions and thoughts beyond mere words. Nidhogg discovered his empathic ability, every emotion made the difference in a soul’s words, he could read them perfectly. It was so interesting, almost as if speech alone was enhanced and could almost witness the scenes they described, and terrifying all the same.
