[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: open sans condensed; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]FULL NAME Niall Landon Norwich is the name, but gods above don't call him that. Full names are for scoldings, and lectures, and those times when you accidentally leave open the door to the Arcanine cage. BACKGROUND You know that old story about the kid who ran away from home to join the circus? Well, this is that story...sort of. Born September 17th in Verdanturf Town to Anabelle and Havier Norwich, Niall was a ball of energy and enthusiasm from the get go. Growing up, he excelled at making messes and just so happened to be an incorrigible mama's boy. That being said, it's hardly any surprised that, when his father came home drunk one night and began screaming at his mom (she was dying, he couldn't handle the thought of losing her), young Niall tried to do something about it. Tried being the operative word. He pounded his fists against his father's legs and screamed at the top of his lungs until he seemed more beast than boy. It became something of a regular occurrence in the Norwich household until Anabelle passed away. It was was cold that day, with snow billowing outside the windows and blowing off of the roof, and Niall was curled up in a chair beside his mother's hospital bed, a blanket tucked around his small form. He was fast asleep when her last breath escaped her body, and perhaps that was for the best. It wasn't something that a boy of nine needed to see. For the next three years, his father drank to curb his misery, and beat Niall to curb his rage. Three years of this before Niall could take it no more, before he grew tired of the kids at school picking on hi for his bruises and the teachers looking concerned but being ultimately useless, three years before he ran. It didn't occur to him to take anything with him. He wasn't even sure he was actually going to do it until he was already halfway to Mauville City, and by then it was too late to turn back. Upon reaching Mauville, the boy happened upon a group of performers who had rolled into town the night before. He snuck into a tent to watch them practice, and that may well have been the best idea he's ever had, because he's been with them ever since, only now he's the one doing the practicing. To this day, the seventeen year old Niall travels the world with the Circus Meridus. Though, work has been a bit hard to come by since the war started up...in a fashion. The people are in need of entertainment, of something to keep their minds off the harsh realities of war, and the Circus Meridus always delivers, even if the crowds they draw have less and less to give them in return for their services. And if they've taken to helping Nox on the side, so be it. OCCUPATION If it involves fire, Niall has probably done it. Primarily, he serves as a fire breather for the Circus Meridus, and that's nothing to laugh at. One wrong move and fwoom, bye bye hair, or face, or throat. ALLEGIANCE Nox - With passion often comes idealism, and sometimes foolhardiness. Needless to say, Niall can't imagine anyone taking away his freedoms, and he will gladly fight to protect them. He sees the oppression as a form of abuse/bullying and isn't having any of it. And, as young as he is, Niall still thinks that there is glory to be had in the war, that coming out on top will make everything else worthwhile. TRAITS [/style]
[atrb=valign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,207] POSITIVE TRAITS: ▪ dedicated / hard working ▪ loyal ▪ honest ▪ energetic / enthusiastic ▪ just ▪ passionate	[atrb=valign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,207] NEGATIVE TRAITS: ▪ stubborn ▪ forgetful ▪ overly direct / lacks tact ▪ impatient ▪ unpredictable ▪ impulsive / reckless
[atrb=valign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,207] LIKES: ▪ fire ▪ pizza ▪ Nox idealism ▪ The Circus Meridus (they're his family, after all) ▪ battling ▪ cooking (but is terrible at it)	[atrb=valign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,207] DISLIKES: ▪ Lux (well, mostly, rules, regulations, and stodgy authority figures, but that's pretty much Lux in a nutshell) ▪ winter / the cold ▪ when people set the top on the ketchup but don't screw it on (even though he does it fairly often) ▪ those who pick on the weak ▪ mornings
[cs=2] SECRETS:

▪ While Niall may love to cook, he's terrible at it. Do not let him do this or you will starve.
▪ Niall ran away at the age of 12 after suffering years of physical abuse at the hands of his father. The Circus Meridus took him in and trained him, and he has seen them as a family ever since.
▪ Believe it or not, Niall has never been kissed. As such, he tends to get nervous in intimate situations.
▪ He loves to practice his routines, that much is true, but sometimes he does it so that he won't have to think.
