when I originally petitioned to get in the game.

Nekrundian(#16195PenAC)
--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o--o-- o--o--
Nekrundian is tall, with an olive complexion and deep-set piercing eyes. His long, straight silver hair is usually tied back in a pony tail, but when he is alone with friends he's more likely to be found with it loosely splayed about his shoulders. His loose garments only barely conceal his nearly skeletal frame, which is given away from time to time through the generally dark grey cloth of his long robes when he bends of turns quickly. Nekrundian carries himself with the aire of a learn'ed academic and with an aloofness common to those of his race. He rarely speaks aloud, but his facial expressions betray his incessant otherwordly conversations.

Feature Character
Childhood: The first of many sons, Nekrundian (or Nek as he is known by friends) was troubled by powerfully morbid thoughts during most of his youth. The dark dreams would wake him and he could find no solace even in the embrace of his loving family, who, for the most part seemed generally well adjusted. He was drawn ever to places where some evil had been done and he could not draw himself away from these places without a great effort. Death, disease and dismay were ever in his thoughts and through time found an outward expression through physical neglect in his gaunt frame, even by a Mystic's standards.

Significant Event:
It wasn't until Vol Shohob was restored and the truth behind his prescience was learned that the obsessive visions ended. Nekrundian's catharsis is that of many Mystics since the restoration, a realization of his own mortality... and relative insignifigance.

Values:
Nekrundian is forthright and upfront. He values truth, honesty, sincerity, personal honor and integrity in others and strives to employ them himself in every situation.

Goal:
The dark visions no longer torment Nekrundian, but the memory of them lingers and he feels a need to nurture and heal his fractured society back to some semblance of normalcy. He has dedicated himself to this end, devouring any and all medical knowledge he can forage from dusty bookshelves or coax from anyone with a healing talent.

Background Story:
Approaching maturity, Nekrundian endeavored to hone his healing talents. A Sanctuary Mystic, he is strongly pacifist and is driven by a desire to aid his people in any way that is required of him. During the great voyage, Nekrundian's visions troubled him less and less and he was able to concentrate ever more diligently as he strove to learn all he could of the healing arts, hoping that whatever good he might do his people in this fashion might somehow hold back the terrible blackness that always threatened to return. Once, as he assisted an elder healer in mending the accidental wound of a small child, he felt the morbid tide rise within and he saw floating before him, almost obscuring the good deeds of the healing being performed directly before him, an apparation appear and command him to look into the child's future. He thought he could see, as if through a mist, the child, then a grown man, wandering paths flanked by the dead who grabbed at him futily as he passed them, laughing. The look in the child-now-man's eyes was the epitomy of evil, he knew that the child would someday participate in the murder, nay, annihilation of an entire race. It was then, in this moment of prescience, that he plead with the healer to put the child immediately to death to avoid this eventual catastrophe. The healer, familiar with Nekrundian's troubled past would not yield up the patient. The child, now young man, yet lives and is a source of eternal worry, and yet fascination to Nekrundian.
