He enjoys cooking hearty meals, doing physical labor, and working at his forge. Overall, he prefers being alone to the company of most people and is naturally very solitary. Although loyal to Frederick to the end, Nefsonne felt no sadness at his friend’s death due to his indifferent nature. He does however, find Lifa to be endearing, possibly because she is only half human, and will act in her defense. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong> Since he is mute, very little is known about Nefsonne. His name is simply a moniker that stuck with him over time presumably because of the crude symbols (https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d0/Imageedit_15_4167222954.gif) carved into the antler that forms the handle of his dagger. He was a longtime friend of Duke Frederick and was the oldest and most loyal crewmember of the Crescent Lark.<br/><br/>Because of his large stature, Nefsonne is great for the hard labor involved in a sailor’s life. But because he does not speak, he works better in solitude. This is just as well since his role as a blacksmith usually requires minimal communication skills.<br/><br/>Despite his lower status, Frederick trusted Nefsonne even more than his First Mate, and always considered him a confidante. And so, Nefsonne was often employed as Lifa’s bodyguard whenever Frederick was away. At the time of the mutiny, Nefsonne, who had no part in it, though it is hard to know if he had any knowledge of it, had managed to save Lifa by killing the man who was going to kill her. The two then escaped on a small, damaged rowboat.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Nefsonne is physically very strong, with a high tolerance for pain, and a methodical mental acuity. He can take damage, let his opponents exhaust themselves and wait to strike back at the right time and without remorse.<br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Cannot verbally communicate, has a soft spot for Lifa and for animals<br/><br/><strong>Ons &amp; Offs:</strong> Nefsonne’s indifference extends even to his sexuality. He is not one for courting or for romance, but he does occasionally feel the need for release. He is not an unkind lover, but nor is he particularly impassioned or affectionate. As long as his partner is willing, he is able. <br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">Notes</span></strong> Nefsonne has a brawler fighting style and is skilled at bareknuckle boxing and hand to hand combat. He is no stranger to bladed weapons, though he lacks any particular training. </span>
