STRENGTHS
- Encyclopedic Mind: Nimdok is a historian, an archaeologist, and a teacher with an incredible ability to retain information. While he specializes in the history and lore of the Jedi and the Sith, he is knowledgeable about a variety of topics and loves to share what he knows.
- Shapeshifter: Only to be used if diplomacy, trickery, or just plain running away aren't options, he can shapeshift into virtually any creature. He must be able to concentrate in order to enact the transformation, but otherwise there are no limits on what he can become.
- Regeneration: His ability to regenerate from wounds is considerably faster and more efficient than a human's, though the rate at which he heals is dependent on the severity of the injury. A superficial scratch could seal within minutes; a gunshot wound or loss of a limb would still take days, if not weeks to fully recuperate. But yes—if you cut off his hand, it will grow back.
- A Trick of the Light: His species possesses a natural form of telepathy which allows him to subtly influence the perceptions of others. Its primary use is in covering up inconsistencies in his appearance that would otherwise tip people off that he isn't what he seems, but he has also begun to use it to conjure up illusions and trick others into seeing things that aren't there.
- Symbiotic Possession: While it has become increasingly difficult as of late to tell the difference between them, Nimdok actually has two souls occupying his body. Because of this, he appears to have considerable mental fortitude; if one personality is affected, the other will step up to the plate and continue running things. On the other hand, being of two minds means that he experiences even more internal conflict than the average person, as these souls may have clashing interests and desires. He might even be described as "two-faced" or having a "split personality".
- Compassionate: Nimdok will go out of his way to help those in need during his travels. He doesn't see it as a burden or an inconvenience; rather, he has found his way into a variety of new adventures by offering his assistance. Not to mention acquiring allies, friends, and even family.
- “You have given me hope, Professor. I will repay your kindness somehow.” - Meira Amavia
WEAKNESSES
- The Perils of Fatherhood: Wherever he goes, he is usually accompanied by his young daughter Miri. He has no choice but to bring her along even in potentially dangerous situations, where her helplessness and vulnerability becomes a significant liability. While she isn't completely defenseless, she is still a child and can't be expected to fight for herself, forcing Nimdok to put her safety and well-being before his own.
- Deceptive: Being a shapeshifter, Nimdok has a bad habit of assuming alter egos and deliberately deceiving others in order to get his way. It isn’t easy for him to be honest, either with others or with himself, about who he really is. But deep down, Nimdok is the person he wants to be and the identity he is most comfortable with.
- Reckless: Being a Shi'ido with above-average regenerative capabilities, he has a poor conception of his own physical limits and will pull stunts that could easily get him killed.
- "Nimdok. She was familiar with him only by reputation. Apparently he was an archaeologist that liked to play fast and loose finding dangerous relics. Relics a little too dangerous for his weight class. His papers were brilliant and he was clearly well-learned. Nonetheless, Syd was convinced his reach would one day exceed his grasp and that would be the end of Nimdok." - Syd Celsius
- Extreme Temperatures: His Shi'ido physiology doesn't do well when it comes to extreme cold (which can slow his shapeshifting and regeneration down), nor does he have any desire to be set on fire, electrocuted, or burnt to a crisp.
- Compulsive Collector: His love of history becomes obsessive when it comes to artifacts (and, when encountering very old beings who have seen a great deal during their unusually long lives, memories). He'll probably ask before taking anything that doesn't belong to him, but his determination not to walk away empty-handed has occasionally led to plain old thievery from those who are unwilling to part with their ancient treasures.
- Annoying: He can be just a little too eccentric, talkative, and full of himself for some people's tastes.
- "Just who was this slimy bastard?" - Adrian Vandiir
- "I can see what Red meant when he said that just being around you gives someone a strong urge to throttle you." - Subject 648 Slipknot
- Bad Girls: Every female he has ever been romantically linked with has fallen under the category of "morally questionable". In a broader sense, he is attracted to women who are dangerous and likely to cause trouble for him.
