Appearance and Personality

Nikaro is a young, nineteen year old man with long, black hair that reaches his shoulders. He keeps his hair long, thinking it takes less effort and is more impressive. He looks Veden, but with pale skin not seen much on Roshar. A lanky build, he dresses with an untucked shirt, and a long, knee-length cloak.

He tries to convince himself he is a lone hunter, and that he is happy being by himself without friends, but this isn't true and he is hoping his old friends ask him to join them.

Attributes and Abilities

Nikaro was the single best artist in his year. Akane claims Nikaro is the best, most talented artist she's ever seen. Yumi first thought he was a lazy painter, but is later blown away at his skill when she sees the masterpieces he drew in his portfolio.

History

Nikaro is from a small town, a few hours away from Kilahito. He spent most of his life prior to heading to Kilahito, training to become a painter, practising since he could first hold a brush. His dream was to become a member of the Dreamwatch, and planned for his friends to become his companions.

One year into his training, he applied for the Dreamwatch, but was unsuccessful. Not wanting to disappoint his friends however, he lied and told them he got in. He spent most of his free time after that sitting in the library, staring at a wall, uncertain with what to do. Eventually his friends found out about his deception and the friendship ended.
