Character Description and History:

Nizhoni stands a few inches above five feet, about average with a woman with her body style. Dark slightly red tinted hair is pulled back into a bun held together by ties that resemble rose thorns, fake roses tied into her hair to accent the feature. Even with the bun she leaves strands to fall down her back, caressing the delicate curves of her supple frame, some of it stopping before the plush curve of her rump, though a few strands fall further. Red eyes stare out of bangs that she normally keeps parted out of her beautiful face, succulent lips pout deliciously. Her bosom isn't overly large, but on her frame it's definitely enough to draw attention to herself which she seems to enjoy doing. She is normally seen wearing a blood red corset that shows just a bit of her stomach before her low riding black cargo pants. A black bolero jacket that barely comes just under her bust finishes off the outfit. The jacket is tight about her shoulders and shows off enough cleavage, though the sleeves are loose much like her pants, which are tight at the top and get loose near at the legs.

Nizhoni was born in the Western Continent where the Helic Republic had once had its foothold, Europa to be more exact. Her parents had been rather large supporters of the Republic; both of them had been around during the time when power shifted to the Zoid Battle Commission, though her father had been much more hesitant to think it would go well. A few years later of course it was shown that he had a right to be hesitant, and they became rather vocal about bringing the Republic back. It was during this time that their oldest son had come of age, Niyol was a strong man who was an amazing aerial Zoid pilot. He had won quite a few Zoid battles, and was approached by a couple of officers in the air force that were getting ready for the eventual revolution and revival of the Helic Republic.

The boy knew of his parent’s views on such things, and that they had probably been the main reason he’d been approached. At first he wasn’t too interested in this, as he thought the Zoid Battle Commission was doing a good job. Nizhoni was born just as her older brother decided to take a trip to the eastern continent to continue with his Zoid battling. While there he witnessed all kinds of atrocities ZBC was enacting in their plot to get rid of the insurgents. Whole families were killed, man, women, and children in bombardment of an area that was even hinted at having insurgents. Instead of heading home after a couple years like he had promised, Niyol decided to stay in Loramere to help with their conflict. It wasn’t long after this that the New Helic Republic was formed; at about the same time the Eastern Continental Alliance was beginning to try the same.

Nizhoni was still rather young when her brother had decided to stay in Loramere, and never having actually met him, she felt a little lonely growing up. However, she had his courageous stories to help her along. Her parents told her of his many battles before he’d gone off to war, and of his reasoning for not coming home. On top of all of this, she had watched the World Cup when the Zoid Battle Commission had been extremely hurt, and was inspired to start Zoid battling herself. Unlike her older brother however, Niz wasn’t the greatest aerial pilot. Her skills lay in more terrestrial fights, with her hidden somewhere among the terrain, using her Snipe Master to take out others at long range. As she got better at sniping, she started to realize the limited nature it gave her. Yes, she would be great in a battle where sniping was needed, but what of other pursuits. The girl still loved stealth to no end, so she set her sights on a Shadow Fox.

After a few battles in Europa, she began to dream of bigger and better things. She took a page out of her older brother’s book and decided to travel to Delphoi. In her mind however, she had planned to travel to Loramere after she had gained enough strength. The Neo Backdraft Group seemed rather interesting to her though, she’d watched years ago as they had shot down satellites, and had essentially been the catalyst for the revolutions of the other continents to spring to action. In her mind it had all started with them, and although the Helic Republic had beat them to the punch on gaining control of a continent; if the Zoid Battle Commission was pushed out of Delphoi, they wouldn’t have much to stand on in Loramere. Which in turn would probably make her brother’s job easier, and he might be able to make it home sometime soon. So, this was her battle plan, she would hopefully join the Backdraft Group, and start her career at ending the Zoid Battle Commission.

Before she could really get started on this however, she’d have to get to Delphoi of course. Nizhoni’s father had some connections with the New Helic Navy, though she didn’t much understand why this was at the time, she was allowed to travel upon one of their ships that were headed to Delphoi. On board the ship she got to talking with the Captain, who decided to have her up to his room for dinner one night. She learned that her father had actually been a high ranking officer in the navy many years ago; he had in fact been the Captain’s teacher when he was younger. It was a little hard for Nizhoni to believe at first, her father hadn’t talked much about his life before the end of the Helic Republic. She was told he’d been forced from service after he voiced his opinions about being integrated with Empire into the Zoid Battle Commission. Apparently his commanding officer at the time was about to marry into some of the money that the ZBC was about to get their hands on. After he was transferred to a rather inhospitable area; he decided to retire, as he knew that’s what they were really after when they transferred him.

This knowledge surprised Nizhoni. To think that her father had been that high up the chain of command, and had still been pushed to the side by corruption, in the Republic of all places. It gave the girl a rather different view upon the world, one that hopefully wasn’t clouded by the naive beliefs she had held until then. When she got to Delphoi, the first thing she did was call her parents. She talked with her father for a while, and though they had been hesitant to allow her to go on this trip, the amount she had already grown up was enough to settle their fears. She was told of a village not too far from where she was now, with an old friend of her father’s.

When Nizhoni got to the village, she met a rather rough and tumble man by the name of James. He never really gave her his last name, though upon seeing her Snipe Master, he immediately asked for her to join him in some Zoid battles. Apparently James was the son of her father’s old war buddy, and though he was long gone, he’d kept in touch with James over the years. Nizhoni decided to join his team, though she noticed it would just be the two of them out on this little adventure. An older man and a young girl apparently looked like great prey it seemed however. On their way to a Zoid battle upon James’ Gustav, they were ambushed by a group of bandits.

James was a pretty handy pilot with his Shadow Fox, ended up taking down a few of the bandits before he was overwhelmed. He’d tried to give Niz enough time to find a good sniping spot with her Snipe Master, but before she was able to do so, one of the bandits in a Command Wolf pushed him over and with a small shoulder mounted mini gun shot out his cockpit. Enraged by this act the young girl stopped her Snipe Master as she was running away, quickly set herself into Sniper Mode; and then took out the cockpit and a part of the head of the Command Wolf upon her friend’s Shadow Fox.

Niz had taken her first life in a moment of severe anger at her friend being killed. She didn’t even seem to notice as other bandits attacked her Snipe Master from the side. The young girl just blacked out from shock over the whole situation. Nizhoni woke up the next day in the medical bay of a hover cargo. She had been saved by the team that James and she had been heading to fight. The Gustav, Shadow Fox, and Snipe Master were all just fine. They had been brought along with them to a nearby city that had some ZBC officials in it. The Gustav and Shadow Fox were registered to her, as James apparently had no next of kin, and she was given some money to fix up her Zoids so she could start battling again.

Nizhoni seemed in a bit of a daze for the next few days, the team that had saved her left not long after making sure she was fine. They’d been more interested in the reward that they got from the ZBC for saving her from the bandits, than her actual safety. It took her a good couple of weeks to really get out of the slump she had found herself in. In a call to her parents she explained what had happened. Her father was almost on his way to see her right away, but she was able to talk him out of it after a while. She owed it to James to try and see if she could make it on her own in this new area, in a way she kind of blamed herself for the whole thing. He’d lived in the area for years without incident, until she had come along. Not to mention she still had all of her dreams to fulfill.
