my fella nicci’s artfight shtuff is finally ready plus finally some actual lore for him written down ٩( 'ω' )و (i was too lazy to make the lines consistent with the headshots)
some actual info on him (this isnt the best but it’ll do for now LOL i might come back in and add more later)
Niccoló Dellamorte, adopted son of Lucanis Dellamorte and Viago de Riva. A killer for hire, stuck somewhere between two Houses. Young, crass, impulsive, teeming with a flamboyant cover of arrogance, as one might as expect from one like him. He is as equally a theatrical performer as much as he is an assassin, and he makes every swipe of his blade as smooth as he can make it. Underneath it all, however, is a very sensitive young man who is lost and resentful, hateful to himself.
After being abandoned at a young age, he found himself in the Antivan Crows, unintentionally falling into a lucky spot within the Dellamorte family, whether the family agreed or not. He was brought in and taken under the wing of Lucanis Dellamorte, and later Viago de Riva in addition. Despite the cushy nature of his new House's position, he still found himself weighed under the pressures of the strict discipline of the Crows; this has lead him to develop a very self-destructive and thrill seeking nature, running off into the streets of Treviso to find chaos when we was a teenager.
His relationship with both Lucanis and Viago is quite strained due to strict regiments growing up in the Crows, but are (seemingly) healing, particularly with Lucanis.
Niccoló is also a trans man, realizing he was a boy quite early in his life.
bonus rambly tidbits off the top of my head. fun facts lightning round? something like that:
nicci loves birds. a lot.
his most treasured possession is a little stuffed turtle dove plushie he got from lucanis when he was young
is canonically dating my other rook, feyth volkarin (who's emmrich's adopted kid. im gonna post them soon)
stands at 5'8 (173 cm). used to actually be shorter than even teia until randomly as a teen he just got tall super fast
has a very hard time with sincerity. he has to be nonchalant. passive. too cool.
more distant with viago, as he was the stricter between his parents.
was very bitter and resentful towards lucanis until he disappeared. when they finally reunite he's just happy to have his padre back.
he doesn't like his uncle illario. he just thinks he's annoying (funny coming from him. he's more like illario than he wishes to admit)
he loves eating anything lucanis cooks.
and lucanis is the reason nicci has such a mane of curls. probably was adamant about him having the nicest curls ever or something
and yes. he is a zevran bastard child
