◈ Nyko Keltian ◈ This project is about one of the main characters of my book (fullscreen for better quality) (click/space/arrows for monochrome, ref, and older art) Summary ◈ bio ◈ backstory ◈ plot ◈ links ◈ credits "Ce n’était pas ainsi que tout avait commencé, et malgré le vide béant qui s’ouvrait devant moi, menaçant de m’engloutir à tout instant, il me semblait peu probable que ce soit ainsi que cette histoire s’achève." - Nyko's first lines in book I (in french) ◈◈◈ BIO ◈◈◈ A depressive boy that keeps having creepy visions, and that's skilled at school but not at social interactions. ◈ Full name : Nykolas Keltian ◈ He/him ◈ Age : 16 (turns 17 in the first chapters of the book) ◈ Birth : blue moon ◈ Residence : Heliodylis, Windy kingdom ◈ Occupation : student in Azalkyr high-school ◈ Average mental state : bad (depression, (very) dark thoughts) ◈ Appearance : always the same black and white clothes, black tie, black eyes (very dark brown actually) ◈ Relations : Eidyn (bestie), Twil ("friend"), Arka (sister) ◈ Likes : writing, reading, being alone, when Eidyn plays the piano, Eidyn's drawings ◈ Dislikes : crowds, his "visions", physical contact, pain, lanterns, himself, being annoyed (ahem Twil) ◈ Notes : pretty handwriting, left-handed, sleep-deprivated, studies very hard, book lover, very possessive around his friend, always locks his door, probably aroace ◈ Type of music (musics I listen to while writing him) : piano (because Eidyn plays the piano /hj). More specifically, dark piano. Or any depressive/calm/dark music lol ◈◈◈ BACKSTORY ◈◈◈ Elder child of a rich family. His father owns a company that manages the extraction of "black matter", an ore that is the main source of energy in the whole kingdom. His mother is an architect (she basically works for his father). Nyko always worked hard at school, because of his parents' expectations, and also because he's a perfectionnist tbh. Despite having siblings, Nyko has a pretty lonely childhood. Him and Arka weren't in the same school since he changed school when he was young. That's where he met Eidyn, which became his closest friend. They both met Twil a few years later, in middle school. When he was 13, he got heavy trauma (which I won't describe, coz spoiler). Then, a few moons later, he almost died in a fire, but was saved by Twil (and Eidyn). He regularly visits forbidden abandonned places with Eidyn and Twil. ◈◈◈ PLOT ◈◈◈ Currently (beginning of book 1), Nyko is almost 17. And on Arcany, 17 is considered adult (years on Arcany are longer than Earth years). It's also the minimum legal age to own an Object. When you own an Object, a magical link is established between you and it, and you get powers (related to the objects' nature). In exchange, the Object owns your life, which means that you can't be hurt unless your Object is damaged. And your Object being broken is synonym of death. :3 The only person selling Objects is the Antiquarian, an old man living at Heliodylis (he has an horrible backstory UwU) (some other kingdoms has similar systems, but not with Objects, and it's not all the kingdoms). And the price is very very high, so only rich people can afford Objects. Traditionnally, on the day they turn 17. Since an Object gives you specific powers, usually, people choose them depending on what they want to do, later (job). Nyko... well, his parents have expectations, and they never asked him what HE wanted. So when chapter 1 begins, he has 1 day to decide what to do :D And obviously, he takes the worse decision (and "accidentally" drags his friend into the abyss with him) UwU But that's not the main plot lol. The main plot is about a series of mvrders (which Nyko isn't aware of... yet) You can ask for more in the comments! :D (no guarantee I'll spoil everything easily tho) ◈◈◈ LINKS ◈◈◈ ◈ Homepage : ◈ Characters : ◈ Chapter 1 excerpt : ◈ Eidyn : ◈ Arka : Some art (from newest to oldest) : ◈ "Wish you the best" : ◈ Him angry : ◈ "Being emo" by : ◈ Nyko's pov : ◈ "Blue moon" : ◈ Old project about him : ◈◈◈ CREDITS ◈◈◈ All art and basically everything that's not the musics is by me Music credits (NONE of the musics are by me) (they play in a random order) ◈ What pain feels like - idk who made it ◈ (idk the name of the music - idk who made it) ◈ Idea 25 - Gibran Alcocer ◈ Tears of a Silent Heart - Michael Ortega ◈ Oneiri - Kai Engel ◈ This is home - Cavetown ◈◈◈
