Nuc Navio

Nuc "The Nut" Navio was an assassin before the fall of beacon. Nuc was an assassin operating for an unknown group, but it has been confirmed through investigation to not be the White Fang. He would kill important local figures, other criminal competitors, and other covert operations for large sums of money, making him wealthy. Eventually the law caught him and he was thrown in a cell on an airship. Mid-flight the airship was knocked out of the sky and gave him the opportunity to escape, injured.

Appearance
Nuc is a tall man, standing at 6'2 and weighing at 180 lbs. He ties his long brown hair in a single braid. His sharp, hazel eyes have the stare of a killer. Nuc has a couple permanent scars from his burns; one on the bridge of his nose and the other on his left cheek. His garb is what he wears normally when he isn't performing a job and is the only attire he has left after the incident. He wears a tattered chocolate brown leather jacket, faded jeans, and sandals, and two leather cases for his tonfa on his lower back, kept on his body with a harness.

Young Life
Nuc was raised in Mistral and was born into a low-class family. His father was a well-known thug and was the enforcer of a small gang in his town. It was here where Nuc would learn to be a fighter. His father would teach him to use tonfa and other martial arts techniques for close-quarters combat. A rival gang would show up when Nuc was 14 and challenge his father's gang. Despite the warnings his father gave him, Nuc would rush to the enemy and take down several men before being beaten to a bloody pulp. Miraculously, Nuc would survive despite several lacerations and broken bones. The rival gang vowed to return and left defeated. The next year on a summer night, Nuc would awake to the smell of burning flesh and wood. The gang returned and had set fire to his house. Nuc hastily ran outside, coughing smoke and suffering minor burns. Nuc looked at the rest of the blazing town and he realized that he and a few people would be the only survivors of the well coordinated attack.

Nuc would flee the town and learned to survive on his own in the wilderness of Mistral. He would learn to be a great fighter, navigator, and wilderness survivor over the course of 7 years. Stealth, working under pressure, tactics, and more would all help his nomadic lifestyle. However, these boons did take their toll, as Nuc would forget how to communicate effectively with others and the traumatic events he suffered only hindered this further.

Vale
At 22 Nuc finally decided that the life of the wanderer was not for him. Longing to meet people again and communicate with another human being, he finally set on a voyage to Vale. Here his excellent tactics earned him a spot in the police force. During an armed robbery, Nuc effectively took down the suspect. As the armed man surrendered and began throw his arms to the air, Nuc made the mistake of thinking he was attacking and instinctively broke the man's skull with a punch, killing him. Feeling nothing from the kill, Nuc realized that he enjoyed killing more than anything.

He quit the police force a year later and an unknown organization would track the renowned ex-cop. He agreed to work for them and would do so for two years until his capture. He now wanders Mistral, half longing for home and the other half being revenge, to track down groups of hunters and huntresses with hatred and intent to kill and hopes to find the gang responsible for his family's death years ago.

Weapon
Nuc uses a pair of steel tonfa for combat engagements. His father's weapons, the only remains from the fire, are still intact. They sport small drums for ammo, two inches away from the grips, and can unleash over 1,200 Rounds per minute. He carries spare drums in a bag, but the guns are not something he heavily relies on. Instead, Nuc utilizes deft maneuvers and high-momentum attacks to unleash devastating blows on his opponent. Even Nuc acknowledges that while his style is heavy in damage, speed, and unpredictability, he lacks any defensive capabilities and relies solely on avoiding attacks rather than deflection or blocking.

Semblance
Nuc's semblance allows him to contort his body to drastic proportions, making him as incredibly flexible. Even the world's best contortionists marvel at his ability to do so. Unfortunately, he can only hold a highly straining position for a few seconds. He can still perform rather incredible feats, but anything stressful on his muscles cannot last long.

Trivia

 * "Nuc" is "Walnut" in Romanian, alluding to the color he often sports: brown.
