NPC NOVICES

[novizi]

npcs.
	NIKOLAS. novizi / asgardeventide. Nikolas is one of the first natives Ezio ran across that showed a lot of positive energy to his ideals and to what was being said. His color came back quickly the more he listened, and soon enough he began talking about his own thoughts which had spawned from the assassin's teachings. As a novice, Nikolas is friendly, but easy to underestimate. The boy is steadfast, stubborn, a bit of a dreamer, but he wants to protect his city and keep all those within it safe, citizen or traveler alike. He will do anything and everything to ensure their safety, and keep it as a secret until the day he dies.
	VIVIANA. novizi / asgardeventide. Viviana is essentially what Ezio calls a "petardo francese," or a French firecracker. He met her along the main road, and after seeing her try to take care of a young child nearly hit by a speeding bike, began speaking with her. She picked up a French accent and words from him when he was idly practicing, and pursued more of that education on her own time. Color came to her soon after. She is vivid and loud in her beliefs and will not back down if she has a strong opinion on something. Respect is given for those who show her respect in return, and the more she learns, the more eager she is to work with others and show her skills to Mentor. To her, either you have a voice, or you don't- there is no in between. Viviana makes sure she stays that way.
	GRACJA. novizi / asgardeventide. Gracja is one of the more quiet novices, being brought up from a home in which proper etiquette was to be soft-spoken and not to raise your voice unless the situation calls for it. Her ideals and beliefs revolve around much of what the Assassins uphold, but she is one of the ones who will debate and question everything there is in order to understand it. Ezio came across her when she was in the library and, after a brief talk, she began to badger him with many questions. Her style is much more about discretion than an open and flashy public scene- she sticks closer to the ways of the Syrians and is adamant about hiding in plain sight and gathering information whenever possible. She is friendly and compassionate, but chooses to be a shadow rather than announce her presence fully around others if they are allies. With enemies, they never know she is coming.
	SAULÈ. novizi / asgardeventide. Saulè is a very bouncy novice, one who seems far too lighthearted and energetic to even be considered to wield the blade for the people. Her personality is one that mimics Ezio's, though it's much more brightened and vivid. He met her after a trip to the market one day, the faceless girl trailing after him and being curious about who he was. After a brief conversation, he simply told her to go find herself, and she gained color in her own adventures. Saulè is extremely adept in using weapons, and because of her happy demeanor, most people don't take her seriously and underestimate her. She is fast, extremely agile and parkour is second nature to her, all the while still focused on the mission she has at hand. She can be serious and listens very intently to what is said, taking it all in and doing her best to learn and grow from it. If anything, she is definitely not someone you would consider an Assassin, and that is how she uses it to her advantage.
