RP Hooks

• Your Character: Nish will flirt with anyone. A n y o n e.

• Engineering/Demolitions: Nish loves a good explosion. And dynamite. She does know what she's doing, and is a skilled engineer. If she wants it to explode, it will. If she doesn't, it won't.

• Fun: Is it gonna be fun? She's in. Let's go. Right now.

Appearance

Standing at an impressive height of 3'9", Nish is a gnome who would wear them apple bottom jeans, if she wore jeans (which, honestly, she doesn't because why wear jeans when you could wear mageweave underwear and call them pants). She wears her pink hair in a stylish bob, bright glitter eye shadow on the lids of her cinnamon brown eyes, and pink lip gloss on her lips found usually curved in a sweet smile. Often described more as cute than beautiful, she nonetheless always seems animated, even at rest.

Nish's Calendar

She dresses in clothing that frequently pushes the boundaries of 'clothing' definitions, and can often be found in bright pink and gold colors. She has many piercings in her ears, and wears a green peridot stud in her left ear.

Personality

Dynamic • Magnetic • Selfish • Benign

ALIGNMENT: NEUTRAL/NEUTRAL

Something between a firework and a firecracker, Nish lives fully in the present with a type of energy that is joie de vivre with a stick of dynamite. Flirtatious and fun, she may not be entirely dependable when the going gets tough, but you could never accuse her of being boring or, worst of all things: A Bummer.

As a partner, Nish shines best when she's with people who don't want to dwell on the negative things, and want to enjoy the adventure of life. She can be very loving with an easy affection, and likes making the people she cares about happy.

With others, she is at best a fair-weathered friend, and at worst, not there at all. Nish makes casual friends easily, and drops them just as casually. Nevertheless, you can always count on her to be interested in showing up for a good time, and brightening those around her.

This Character Can Be Romanced.

+ Romancing Nish

Nish can be casually or seriously romanced, as well as have casual, one-night physical relationships.

Nish will bed (almost) anyone who is above the age of consent, and who is giving enthusiastic, on-going consent, and who is clear that Nish is not monogamous.

For actual romance, she is attracted to people who are intelligent, adventurous, talented, and interesting. There aren't many other factors that influence her willingness to give someone a try for a relationship beyond enthusiasm for dating Nish.

As a partner, she is best with people who enjoy distractions from their woes, rather than deep discussions or meaningful gestures that require significant forethought. Nish is spontaneous by nature, and that comes out often with her partners, where she enjoys pleasing them, to get the positive feedback she craves for her own happiness. She is ultimately a selfish creature, though, and will leave partners when she's ready to be done, or when she starts feeling drained keeping up the relationship. She is polyamorous, and will only engage in temporary monogamy with select partners. Partners who are very jealous, or possessive are unlikely to find this a desirable romance, as Nish is flirtatious and frequently seeks additional flings for fun.

History

BIRTHDAY: AUGUST 12TH, YEAR DOESN'T MATTER, SWEETIE

Back in years 6-9 (nice), she dated her first Real Serious Girlfriend, a Tadget Lodestone. It didn't work out, but there's no hard feelings. Nish managed to leave Gnomeregan shortly after, and spent time flitting about Azeroth. For the past 4 years she's worked in Kalimdor under the name "Q" where she's supplied all sides with schematics. Recently, she'd run into some trouble with verbal contracts she hadn't fulfilled and fled to the EK, where she's joined up with a mercenary group, Cobalt Company. She has since handled her past, and is currently connected with several of the members of CC.
