He is, however, easily confounded by clever conversation, easily frustrated by conversations that go over his head.Though he's a loose cannon, he is, thankfully, able to conduct himself well enough to traverse towns and cities without the guard knowing him by his first name.

Dark green hair falls in tight waves that frame a face that has seen some blunt force trauma over the years. His nose doesn't sit perfectly straight, broken one too many times. His lips appear as if he's had pointed teeth bashed through them at several points in his life, and the nasty scar on his left cheek appears as if he's likely suffered a fracture there at one time or another. Bi-colored eyes glare out at the world like it owes him something, gold and copper with slit pupils often blown wide with his mood.He's lean, corded with muscle and countless scars across dark skin to match the marks upon his face, gruesome and healed over years ago, drawing the conclusion that he's in the habit of picking fights or ending them. Given that he's earned himself a prosthetic right arm, it's clear he hasn't walked away from all of his conflicts unscathed.
biography Born and raised in the South Shroud with his family, the Sigwa, in the dark swamps of their territory. Surrounded by love and safety, his upbringing was typical for his peers. He learned to swim, to hunt, to fish, and fend for himself as he navigated the way of life for his people. His life was a simple one filled with laughter and promise until his teenage years.As a teenager, he was captured by a disgraced monk of Rhalgr and initiated into the hidden world of underground pit fighting. He was trained for years until he was ready to test his mettle on the sands, earning for himself the moniker 'Spitfire'.When he won free of that world, he swore that he would walk no path that he didn't choose himself. Come hell or high water, he'll kill to keep his freedom.

intuitive He is attentive to his surroundings and trusts his instincts.
Flaws
stubborn When he's made up his mind, it's nigh impossible to convince him otherwise.
explosive Far too easy to rile, and difficult to calm, he is a fuse begging for a spark.
distrustful He rarely allows people close, physically or emotionally.
reckless Nuka is quick to run headfirst into danger if it means the opportunity to test his mettle.
vindictive He has an axe to grind, and it's everybody's problem.
Weaknesses
crowds Loud spaces, lots of people and activity, will have him backed into a corner or heading for the door.
prosthetic arm As sophisticated as his prosthetic arm is, every machine has weak points.
clever conversation A scholar can talk circles around him, and leave him scratching his head and angry about it.
a good challenge A gauntlet thrown, a powerful mark, an insult slung: Nuka is incapable of backing down from a confrontation.
confinement Chains, small spaces, being stuck behind locked doors, anything that could deprive him of freedom of movement will trigger a violent response.

Extras
He has an advanced prosthetic for his right arm, below the elobw, though the machinery is integrated to encase his elbow for protection. He often wears a leather glove that encases the entire piece for better grip. It does not appear to be fully magitek, allagan, or otherwise, but something clearly done by a person with a keen eye for anatomy and machina that perfectly married the two for one of the most sophisticated prosthesis seen by many.He is ambidextrous, in part because of the recovery after losing his dominant hand, and also due to his monk training.
Damn, what happened to you? : walk upHe's often bruised, scraped up, cut up, or otherwise looking like he just got out of a skirmish. Whether you're a healer or just nosy, great way to break the ice. Resting Bitch Face : walk upYeah, he's probably mean-muggin' you from across the room. Guy is constantly frowning or looking like he bit into something sour. Don't like it? Call him out! Wanna fight? : whisper for set upBest way to start a barfight, ask if someone wants to go! If there is a fight, or the threat of one, he'll insert himself, anywhere. In a bar, in the street, dark alley, he's itching for a scrap and he isn't particular who gets a knuckle sandwich. So whether you start it with someone else or with him, he's in. What are you looking at? : walk up or whisper for set upIn the same vein as inserting himself, you wanna get his attention? Looking at him a little too long will draw his ire. How your character responds to that is ultimately how the interaction will go. Think of something else? : whisper for set upI'm open to most interactions, be they light or darker themes, pleasant or otherwise. He is an antagonistic character, but I'm flexible with scenes if there's a goal in mind.

I am not my character and my character's thoughts, speech, and actions are not a reflection of who and what I am out-of-character.ㅤ rule 002 ㅤ : CommunicationI believe in OOC communication if there is something that either party does not understand. If you need for me to clarify something, please don't hesitate to whisper me and ask!ㅤ rule 003 ㅤ : ConsentI have and will refuse to acknowledge any in-character godmoding or out-of-character harassment. I welcome any interaction in-character, be it pleasant or otherwise, lighter or darker themes.

ㅤ rule 004 ㅤ : Minors, DNIPlayer is 30+ years old. If you are below 18 or play characters younger than 18, please do not engage. I am not comfortable roleplaying with minors IC or OOC.ㅤ rule 005 ㅤ : LGBTQIA+ and LGBTQIA+ friendly!I do not roleplay with anyone that uses transphobic terms like trap/futa/etc. If slurs are part of your vocabulary, please do not engage.ㅤ rule 006 ㅤ : Zero ToleranceI am not interested in indigenous caricatures and harmful depictions of what racists think 'tribal' is. Tribes are families, or entire cultures. Stop making it synonymous with 'feral' and 'uncivilized'. Tribal people are not animals and they are not cavemen. If you perpetuate this stereotype, do not approach me.
