APPEARANCE
Fur/Hair/Skin: His skin is tanned, although sometimes appearing a little pale. The fur on his deer torso is purely white, with it getting grey as it goes down his legs and towards his hooves. While his legs are mostly grey, there are swirls and patterns of white all around all four of his legs. His tail is a dark brown color, while his hair on his human head is also a dark brown, and reaches down well below his shoulders.

Eyes: Light Blue

Physique: Although his head is human, his ears are deer-like, and are pure white like his fur. His deer torso has the appearance of a young adolescent stag, having toned body. His human torso is slim, and has toned muscles much like his deer torso, but he is nowhere near buff. On his deer torso, there is a short, puffy tail. Niko also has three-point antlers, which start is brown on the bottom but get pure white as it moves upward.

PERSONALITY
Niko is a caring and compassionate mender and teacher, who wants the best for his herd and the fauns he teaches. He is very serious and stern when teaching other herd members to harness magic, as he considers it extremely dangerous. To his closest friends(which he does not have much, if any of) he may seem like a kind guy, although he always tries to keep a stern persona, for his father and students.

History
Niko was born into a herd of Centaur that roams the Viren Forest. He was born to two normal Deertaur, his mother being a proficient mage, training Niko and the entire new generation of magic users in the Herd, while his father was the Chieftain and a warrior of the Herd. The herd was a close-knit family, with rarely any fights and disturbances, with them even trading with neighboring peoples. Although being friendly to other races and communities, it was forbidden to mate outside the herd, and it was of great dishonor to do it. Niko was one of several new magically talented fauns planned to be trained by his own mother.

When Niko was sixteen, when the Fauns were finally considered adults, they were attacked. Marauders killed and scattered the Herd- killing Niko's mother and father in front of him. Luckily he was able to escape, with simply his mother's staff. From then on he traveled from city to city, honing the few powers he learned, hoping that one day he will find another survivor from his herd.
