Name: Nied Karthukl (Knee-Ed / Car-thew-clay)
Age: 37 (deku life spans can pass 100 years and sometimes up to 200– kind of like bushes)
Species: Deku
Nationality: Hyrule
Appearance: 2’10” (four of those ten inches are a spindly protrusion from the top of his head that is topped by a curly leaf) Dark mahogany ‘skin’ (darkest on his head, hands, and feet) with grain knots on his shoulders and knees. The leaves (red nearest to the tip of his head, changing to orange) on his head are worn much like a hat with extra leaves forming a small mustache on either side of his mouth hole. He’s often seen wearing a skirt-like waist wrap that has merchant written on it (brush painted it himself in messy Hylian). His arms are a bit long for his height and brittle. Wears no footwear, as he prefers to feel the earth. Lightweight. Carries a large pack on his back made of leaves, bark and vines.
History: He is out in the world to defeat the prejudices facing his people. He is proud to be a Deku, but he wants to pave the way for his fellow…bush creatures. Bring them from the dark ages of paying homage to Queen Gohma (as there are even rumors of her death) and being slaughtered by the hundreds for their misplaced loyalty. He also hates how there are many things he has not been able to do, so he bid the forest goodbye. All in the name of a new trend – that one does not need to cause bodily harm to barter with a Deku.
Personality: Inquisitive (but not in the cutsy ‘I have no clue what this is’ way), sharp, and sometimes overly pragmatic. Lives for the hard bargain and uses them to show the pale tall folk Deku are a force to be reckoned with, smart brains and fine casing all in one. His physical limitations have forced him to rely more on his brains than brawns, but that hasn’t stopped his hurt pride earning himself a few broken arms. He is always on the look out for new material to sell and profitable ventures.
Likes/Dislikes: Loves horses to a point of insanity. It has been his long-term dream to have a horse for his merchant business. The freedom, the speed, the prestige – he wants it all. He gets a bit nervous within unnatural structures, but if that is where the tall folk hide, that is where he will go. Clear water and sunny skies are always appreciated, but he does enjoy a good rainstorm. Frogs are his second favorite animals and he often spends an afternoon singing with them (baritone). He has also developed a deep fascination in potions and constantly tries to butt in on the market with off brands (that usually result in plant growths sprouting out of the drinker).
Strengths/Weaknesses: Fire (as he is basically a piece of wood) and heavy lifting (brittle body structure) are great detriments to his existence. He can bounce across water to a certain degree, but will drown should he wear out his spring, as he cannot close his mouth hole. He has practiced floating on his back to avoid fatality. He has the ability to burrow into the earth and spring out. He never was able to fly by flower as some of his kind have discovered, thus his pinings for a pony (ahem FOR PONY). He can shoot projectiles from his mouth and uses deku nuts to stun and blind enemies while he runs away or beats their shins with heavy sticks.
