Nyki Adama

=• Description •=

Personality
For Nyki, things like family, loyalty, honour are not just words in a dictionary, they have soul, they have meaning, and they have life. She will do anything in her power to keep her sister from the deathly tendrils that they face daily. Having been taught the healing arts of many religions, she uses what best fits the situation when working with the 'un-enlightened'.  Her personality is one of reservation, while she will willing put herself on the line, she reserves her deepest sacrifices for her family. Nyki is a friendly, easy to talk to Latina girl, provided you did not just cross her or the family, then watch out, the Latina heat is going to burn you.

Appearance
Nyki can often be found wearing dark coloured clothing with pops of colour that accent her vivid pink-ish purple hair. She favours her sister’s big hoop earrings and tends to steal any jewelry of hers that is silver. A big fan of function over form, it is not common to see Nyki in heels and a skirt, they simply are not practical when rooting around in the dark, strange, and often narrow areas she can be found in. She likes wearing baggy pants, not just for the way they look, but because of their practical aspects: one can simply keep more things on them, unhidden, when wearing baggier clothing. She, however, prefers tighter tops to showcase her figure.

Childhood
Born in Brooklyn, New York, USA to Adalin and Carlos Adama; Nyki was named after her maternal grandmother, Nicolasa Mendoza. At the age of four; Nyki’s family went completely off the grid. They moved around extensively, never staying in one place, or one country, for very long. As long as she had her big sister Kosheen near her she did not care where they were, she was safe and happy. In the following years Nyki would learn the family business, growing up as a nomad. Most of her education would be taught on trans-continental ships, by her closest family members: Nyki’s father, Carlos Adama, would teach her urban survival; her mother, Adalin Adama, passed on knowledge of history, healing and the occult, and Uncle Pablo Adama, a selfless protector of the family with a natural talent for horrific violence.

Teenage Years
At the age of thirteen, Nyki was pulled from the field to begin her training in the healing arts. Picking up the craft rather quickly, at the guidance of her mother, Nyki completed her yearlong training in seven months. At the end of her training, she was given her first tattoo as a ward of protection: a Wiccan pentacle. Nyki seemed to have a knack for reading the human body; using her Goddess-granted gifts, she was able to help the body heal faster and hold back damage longer. A trait that would prove to be invaluable out in the field with her family. On more than one occasion she has managed to keep Death from claiming one of her own.

History
A ‘Ma and Pa’ family business with its origins in Puerto Rico, the Adama Family has operated around the globe for generations. They travel from continent to continent investigating and hunting down supernatural phenomenon. With a vast understanding of religious and occult rituals and superstitions, the family works to resolve dangerous situations while maintaining a shroud of secrecy over the events. Considering themselves 'Hunters', the Adama Family has no affiliation to, or even claims knowledge of, the Secret Societies or Cabals, nor do they have any official connection with any major crime syndicates. Hunting, for the most part, is unprofitable, having resorted to becoming career criminals to fund their actions. For several decades, the family has been the target of investigation by US Federal authorities and Interpol.

Extended Family
The Adama's boast a large and diverse Hispanic family network, however not all members of the family are 'Hunters' nor have the Adama name. Hidden in plain sight; Mendoza, Garcia and Vasquez, distant cousins that offer shelter and leads that may provide work. While the Adama’s insist on hunting in a small family group, they are not alone with various connections operating in secrecy around the globe.

The Secret War
Historically, the Adama Family, and Hunters everywhere, have worked independently of the Secret Societies and associated Cabals. Unknown to the Adama’s, the Secret Societies have been recruiting from hunter families for centuries.

=• Updated Info •= November 2012. Nyki and her sister, Kosheen, left the 'Secret World' to return to their family. Any attempt to contact them via their 'Templar' phone are met with a recording of disconnection.

November 2012. Nyki returned to London. She no longer works for the Templar faction, or Venatores Incorporalis. Those who have her current contact info (the new non-Templar phone number), or are members of Knightsbridge Consulting, have a way to reach her. Others will have to RP their way to it.
