VISUALS: blond-haired and hazel-eyed, extremely handsome and very physically fit. notable visuals are that nikolai has black scarring all over his hands and his fingertips are nearly black. this is due to the merzost he is infected with and the claws that pushed out of his skin when he initially was bitten by the darkling's shadow monsters and turned into a monster himself. he is rarely ever seen without gloves.
WARNINGS: nikolai was infected with merzost during the war against the darkling and is now host to a demon that takes over his body without his consent at random times (typically when he's already unconscious like during sleep). he wears an anklet that stops the demon from ever taking control of his body on the ship, but the anklet does not work 100% off ship. nikolai is not in control when the demon has him. he still sorta looks like himself, but is strong enough to rend metal, has large shadowy wings that enable him to fly, has teeth and claws sharp enough to rip your throat out, and kills and eats both humans and animals. the bloodlust is real. if you choose to play with nikolai, i will auto assume that you are okay with themes of violence, gore, murder (never your character without explicit consent), loss of agency, injuries (again with discussion), and all the things that come with being host to a shadow monster that's literally ruining his life. feel free to opt out of interaction at any time! just pm me! nikolai is a majorly Trauma character and i never want to make anyone uncomfortable.
POWERS/ABILITIES: see above about his monster. he is otherwise a physically fit person who is skilled in combat involving guns, swords, and fists. he has served in the ravkan first army and fought in wars. he also has an alter ego named sturmhond, an unscrupulous privateer who favors gaudy frock coats and letting his dog eat people's fingers. is nikolai mentally ill? all signs point to yes. he is also a genius inventor and civil engineer and likes to build things like ships, planes, and ships that function like planes.
