[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 2522452, member: 35788"] [b]Destiny of Nichols[/b] Destiny is of the Aster race. Her brown hair is almost always pulled back into some kind of braid that trails down her back. Her blue eyes peer out from underneath heavy brown eyebrows. While she only stands 3'0" tall, she looks considerably fleet of foot. She often wears simple cloaks to hide the fact that her physical stature is of no threat to anyone. Background: Destiny always knew there was something special about her. It began as a small child when she realized that when she wanted to, she could choose to touch someone and make them nauseous. While it was admittedly an unusual talent, it did come in handy. There was the time when as a teenager there was a halfling that would not leave her alone. So, finally, she agreed one day to eat lunch with him. While they were out together, he continued his pursuit of courting her. She was uninterested in him and so she reached out her hand and touched his fingers. Suddenly, and as far as he could tell for no apparent reason, he became extraordinarily sick. He had to excuse himself and barely made it out of the inn before he threw his lunch back up. He was so embarrassed that he never could muster up the courage to talk to her again. As another example, one day she was out walking through the marshes around Nichols, her hometown. Instinctually, she could feel a presence behind her and as she turned around she saw a vague shape coming towards her head. No sooner had she thought about avoiding the object than the object seemed to hit a solid – yet invisible – wall before her face. As the object hit the invisible wall and dropped to the ground, she saw that it was a tradition goblin throwing dagger. She immediately ran back to Nichols and more than likely avoided capture – and probably being dinner for a goblin household!
