Other Info Nix is an amnesiac with a bit of a gambling problem. The very first day of his life, as far as he is aware of, was when he was discovered floating unconsciously on debris from a shipwreck with a nasty head wound by Theodora Jem. It took a full week for him to regain consciousness and heal before Captain Jem made him earn his keep on her ship. Working on a ship and the intricacies of battle came second nature to the man which only helped his standing among the crew. Of course he wasn’t one to always fall in line as he was the one that usually brought up any concerns with the captain’s orders. Nix was on the ship for a year and a half before he was promoted to Quartermaster. And all it took to gain this promotion was a couple of dangerous situations, a few choice words, being proven right, and just a pinch of gloating after everything was said and done. Nix’s name was given to him by the crew and derives from his constant use of the word along with his ability to “nix trouble”. He takes it upon himself to prevent and bail any member of the crew out of whatever trouble that they might get themselves in. Of course he is also the sort that doesn’t necessarily listen to his own advice. The most well known thing about the man is that gambling is his vice of choice, to the point that some may call it an addiction. The man has been both rich and poor, sometimes both in the same day, due to his habit. It’s these gains and losses that have given him a cautious wisdom that translates well to his job. As a gambler, he’s in it for the payout and not the thrill. So he just won’t openly throw away his life or the lives of the crew over something as stupid as a pride or fun. Mr. Nix has a good head on his shoulders when it comes to being a Quartermaster. He makes sure the crew is in line and brings up any concerns they may have to the captain. Among his tasks, besides keeping the ship sailing, is to keep the crew’s moral up. So he employs his habit and gambles with the crew to keep the ship in one piece. Any disputes are settled by Lady Luck, who is always fair, and any member of the crew can openly challenge the Quartermaster for a chance to win a lighter workload at the risk of earning a heavier one. These slight distractions from the hard work on a ship often are just enough to keep the crew inline without having to rely on force. Nix earnestly believes that any debt must be paid and will severely punish anyone attempting to skip out on payment after a bet has been made. Most amnesiacs would be bothered by having neither name nor past, but it doesn’t affect Nix at all. Some would speculate that he doesn’t want to discover who he once was considering how easily he has accepted his situation. The only hints he currently has to his past is the simple jade necklace that was on his person when discovered and the skill he displays on the sea showing that he is no novice to the vast open waters. Boarding axes are his weapon of choice and his ability to dual wield them simultaneously is both a testament to his skill and a possible clue to his past life. He holds a tremendous amount of pride for surviving such a horrendous shipwreck and and purposely shaves his hair into a mohawk to display the rather large scar he procured from that venture. Being a gambling man has made Nix incredibly superstitious as he takes anything that may affect luck very seriously. [b]FAR CRY 3[/b], vass montenegro, [i]nix[/i] |
