The Earth Has Teeth RO intro: Nikita Leu
🕑 Added 2025-02-26 19:00:07 +0000 UTC
Full name: Nikita Leu
Age: 25
Gender: selectable between cis man (he/him), cis woman (she/her), and transfem (they/them)
Background: Nikita is a courier like you, fetching and carrying items, messages, and sometimes people from settlement to settlement. They’re a survivalist, having a great deal of experience handling life on the plains even in emergencies, and are fiercely independent. Nikita doesn’t talk much about themself or their past: hard to tell whether that’s because they have a withdrawn personality (which they do) or because there’s something they don’t want to say.
Personality: watchful, quiet, terse, toughened
Appearance: mid-height and rangy, but holds themself tensely so they often look a little hunched. They have olive skin and wide green eyes.
Style: Male Nikita shaves his head and has a scruffy beard; a non-male Nikita wears their hair longer, with a ponytail. Nikita’s clothes are practical and durable. They wear thick linen shirts, woolen trousers, sturdy boots, and a charcoal-coloured woolen coat with fleece lining. In colder weather they wear a cloak, but mostly they use it as a blanket.
At their best: generous, prepared, attentive
At their worst: brusque, withdrawn, despairing
You’ll like Nikita if you like… a withdrawn, melancholy person who’s nevertheless very competent in a pinch, who will give their all to those in need while being intensely ruthless in certain situations, who takes a while to warm up but will be an attack dog if necessary
You’ll like romancing Nikita if you like… teasing someone and flustering them or slowly building a serious connection, opening up vulnerabilities, trauma-bonding, hot-and-cold emotional rollercoasters
A song from Nikita’s playlist: Break Me Gently by Doves
Face cast ideas: (bear in mind that this isn’t the be-all-and-end-all - feel free to imagine as you like) Luke Pasqualino, Benedetta Porcaroli, Paola Buratto

Hee! Aragorn was always one of my faves in Lord of the Rings... Nikita doesn't have it together as much as him though!
