Nib the Stableboy

Nibel Danakké (a.k.a. Nib)

In the stables, you meet a boy that has only seen a dozen winters, maybe less. He is cleaning up the hay strewn all over the stable, probably the result of a hissy-fit from one of the horses. He is covered in dirt and smells terrible, but that may be just the stables. As he turns to you, his wild green eyes twinkle in curiosity, taking in the look of your party.   "Hello." he says quietly, barely within earshot, and turns back to his work.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Nib is a small boy with a kind face despite the job that he leads. He is always dirty and smelly from working in the stables - and so are his labourer's clothes - but he always has a smile plastered to his face.

Body Features

Has the slight shadow to his skin colour common to Orenians, along with the bruises and scrapes typical of his trade.

Facial Features

He has wild eyes, full of joy, and he's beginning to have some whiskers on his cheeks.

Identifying Characteristics

He can be identified by his small size and general untidyness around the Magistrate.

Special abilities

He's beginning to manifest magical abilities, but he hasn't told anyone and he's never used them in public.

Apparel & Accessories

He wears poor clothes, only owning a couple shirts and a couple pairs of trousers, all brown and dirty from the stables.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Nib grew up in Freebrook, the son of a pair of recent Orenian immigrants. They died a few years back, leaving him orphaned and begging on the street. Ignelsio Fardaker found him and gave him the position that he now holds.   Nib's magical power was accidentally triggered in the market by a hired operative of The Nine Daggers, and he was sent to jail once he had calmed down and fallen unconscious. After it was discovered that he was not personally responsible for the attack, he was set free and returned to his duties.

Employment

  • He has worked as a stableboy for the Fardakers for four years
  • Intellectual Characteristics

    Nib isn't especially bright, but he is trying to learn about magic when he can.

    Morality & Philosophy

    Nib is a good kid, always looking out for the little guy. This is because he used to be the little guy, in all honesty, and he doesn't want anyone else to go through what happened to him. Because of his history with authority and his age, he has a lot of faith in the Magistrate and the imperial government to solve problems.

    Personality Characteristics

    Motivation

    Nib is fascinated by his newfound abilities and is interested in going to learn at The College of Mages when he's a little older and has the money.

    Savvies & Ineptitudes

  • Knows a lot about horses and their care.
  • Doesn't know much else than that.
  • Likes & Dislikes

  • Nib is excited by most things, still holding on to a childlike innocence due to the sheltered nature of his job.
  • He loves seeing magic and may ask obviously wizard characters to perform for him.
  • Virtues & Personality perks

  • He is very optimistic despite everything that has happened to him.
  • He has a lot of faith in the rule of law, even though he doesn't know it all that well.
  • He is very quiet, preferring to listen rather than speak.
  • Vices & Personality flaws

  • Nib is very easy to persuade due to his naïve nature
  • He doesn't know how to be secretive, so he might give himself away or betray secrets easily.
  • Hygiene

    Nib is always immensely dirty, covered in dirt and smelling of horse manure.

    Social

    Contacts & Relations

    His family is dead, so the Magistrate's household is his family now.

    Religious Views

    Nib is interested in religion, but he hasn't quite made a decision about whether he likes it or not.

    Social Aptitude

    He is extremely timid, not speaking unless spoken too or alone with someone when he has a bursting question. He mostly keeps to himself, fidgeting the whole time.

    Hobbies & Pets

  • Nib is trying to learn to read, but he isn't having a lot of luck.
  • Speech

    He is very timid, so he doesn't speak very often at all. His speech is pretty high-pitched and is often a little broken up.

    Wealth & Financial state

    Nib is very poor, only having a few copper and silver pennies to his name. He gets food from the kitchens and has a nice pile of hay to sleep on, so he's doing very well in his eyes.
