Nicholas D. Wolfwood
Brought to Hopeland Orphanage as a young child.
Was big brother to other kids, including crybaby Livio.
Taken away as a sacrifice by Millions Knives's cult.
Genetically modified. Goes through puberty in months on the operating table, among other changes.
Broke out of his cell. Stopped by Legato Bluesummers who reveals Livio, who followed Nicholas here.
Joined the Eye of Michael, trained, and became Nicholas the Punisher, serving Millions Knives.
About six years later, made a deal for the protection of Hopeland Orphanage in exchange for delivering Vash the Stampede.
Found Vash, Meryl, & Roberto. Eaten by worm. Eventually killed worm to get out.
Killed another of Millions Knives's monsters to save Vash and thus pissed him off.
Fought Livio, who attacked Vash, on the sand steamer until he got through to him… not that that helped.
Stopped the ion cannon from firing upon Hopeland Orphanage with Vash's and Meryl's help.
Vented the engine while trusting Vash to save the orphanage. Everyone lived. Somehow.
Traveled to Vash's secret home base in the desert. Meryl & Roberto get kidnapped by Zazie the Beast.
Hotfooted it to July, ran away from military police, and reached Millions Knives's headquarters. Snarked with Elendira. Parted ways with Vash.
Received his contract protecting the orphanage. Disappointed Meryl. Left town to watch shit go down. (and shit went down).
Returned to July and Millions Knives's tower to save Meryl & got out of town before it turned into a crater.
physical attributes What won't he manifest? Wolfwood will transform into many animals with less control over which ones they are.
reasoning Wolfwood sidesteps Humans vs. Plants, the conflicting philosophies on human nature, etc. in his source material. Instead, he strives to protect the people he cares about. He doesn't love violence with callous disregard for everyone's lives, but he's willing to kill some people to protect others. Those he cares about. He's a realist focused in the day to day.
Though Wolfwood states he's a realist, he thinks poorly of himself for becoming an assassin to protect the people he loves. He'll be surprised not to be a Myth and forced to reflect more on himself, his actions, and what he wants those to be (the orphanage isn't here to protect). Having threats over his head his whole adult life, Folkmore's a bit of a free fall to figure himself out and land on his Familiar feet. It won't be quick. He won't focus on it unless forced to, but in all that flailing he'll come about.
