Profile
Nimbus struggles with disassociation and apathy towards many things, but he finds enjoyment in being on the move. He's an explorer at heart and travels every day, meeting new lythians and exploring their unique cultures and traditions.
He is stoic and often unable to express himself, but he's always grateful to have companions by his side.
He brings his best friend, Arcade, with him wherever he goes. Arcade usually supports Nimbus through his periods of disassociation.

First Face : The World
Nimbus comes off as disorientated and apathetic at first. He attempts to present himself as confident but will panic when faced with commitments or rejection. Despite his confusion, Nimbus appears smart due to his lack of attachment. Others perceive this as being 'above emotions'.
Second Face: Close ones
Around friends, Nimbus becomes comfortable faster. Still dizzy, but much more sociable and affectionate. Nimbus will laugh at jokes made by his friends and enthusiastically participate. His friends ground him, he feels much safer and alive around them.
Nimbus often praises his friends verbally, although with a flat tone. He struggles to show emotion in a conventional way, but tries as much as he can. He is gentle with those he cares for, but struggles with the fact he feels like a burden. He will shut his emotions away from others, handle problems on his own, and he wouldn't even ask for help if he was drowning.
Third Face: True Reflection
Ultimately, Nimbus is afraid of himself. He worries that his apathy will cause him to lose control, or that his imperceivable emotions will drown him. He worries his friends will abandon him for his complicated situation, or grow afraid of him. He worries one day he will simply blank out and go on a murder spree or get stuck somewhere and die.
When he is alone, he feels entirely empty. Nimbus lays in his bed and stares up at the ceiling, or sits and does a reptitive action. He spends most of his time inside his own head, even going outside he is consumed by his own thoughts and the harsh reality of being sentient.

Due to his struggle with mental health, Nimbus' brain reacts to stress with anger and desperation, causing him to lose control and access his full strength. It doesn't last long, but in the moment he feels no pain and is barely conscious and he tries to physically eliminate the threat.
He struggles to defend himself, but since he feels little of the pain, it doesn't seem to bother him much. He usually feels guilty and terrified of himself after these moments of unrelenting stress-induced rage, the psychological burdens are recoil enough for it.

Chapter One: "Market"
WARNINGS: neglect, homelessness
Nimbus is an orphan, he spent his childhood living around the stalls of a local market. He would hide under counters at night and tuck himself in with fabric from the dissassembled roof of the stall. He was often fed scraps and would occassionally steal when he got desparate.
"It's that little onini again, where are his parents?"
"Oh, don't bother with him. He comes here for free food. Always up to no good, no wonder he doesn't speak."
He would refuse to talk to anyone and became increasingly anxious of others when they began chasing him away. Eventually, Nimbus decided to leave, sleeping anywhere he could find and scavenging or stealing scraps to survive. Internally, he felt overwhelmed and angry at how others were treating him, he developed both a hatred for others and a strong desire to do good.
Through the rest of his childhood, Nimbus would share whatever food he found or was donated, he made friends with others who had nowhere to go.
Chapter Two: "Ghostly Reminders"
WARNINGS: crime
After a few years, Nimbus embraced his lifestyle and began to travel the realms of Lyth with a backpack containing all of his things. One day, he was buying some snacks from the corner store and he was surprised to find 'wanted' posters all over featuring a baby igalyph. Nimbus asked around and was informed the igalyph was incredibly 'dangerous'. Nimbus remembered the same things being said about him, but upon further inspection the tiny thing was responsible for multiple crimes, including many counts of arson, theft, armed robbery, and physical assault.
He went looking, and he found the criminal. He was named Tiger Moth, the poor thing was eating out of a bin, so Nimbus offered up half of his sandwich. Tiger Moth stole the entire thing and fled. A few gentle interactions later, Tiger Moth warmed up to Nimbus a little. Nimbus found out Tiger Moth had been abandoned, causing him to act out in anger. He was part of an orphanage nearby but avoided it at all costs.
Nimbus decided to 'adopt' (he just took him and nobody came looking, they were mostly glad the crimes had stopped) Tiger Moth. Tiger Moth did not have a real name, he was known for the two things he resembled, so Nimbus changed it to Tigoth. The two became like brothers, Nimbus slowly tried to help Tigoth and he got better for Nimbus' sake. Though, Tigoth never stopped playing small pranks and may shoplift on the occassion, but will apologise and return the items if Nimbus catches him.

“It’s windy today. This bench has a nice texture, don’t you think?”
“I’m right here.”
Arcade goes with Nimbus on each of his explorations, he is always there to support Nimbus through his disassociation. He loves reading Nimbus' work and will sit for hours watching him scribble observations into one of his messy journals.
At the end of a long day, Arcade will curl up with his head on Nimbus' lap and take a well-deserved nap.

Nimbus has a confusing relationship with the treble, Crew views Nimbus as a parental figure, Eido views him as a pet owner, and Imp views him as a friend. Overall, Nimbus and the trio get along like family.
