Nether 8Hunter/Nezhakai (First World)

Nezhakai is the founder, leader, and active member of The Nether Alliance. Being a Netherborn and having spent more time in the Nether than anyone else, he is certainly cut out for the job. He was the first player to pick an origin that set him in the Nether, and as such there were no portals and no one to help him yet. He started the Nether Alliance alone, and has been recruiting new members since.

Appearance
Appearance-wise, Nezhakai is entirely human all except for his deep red eyes, one of which is clouded over by a scar. His skin is pale, almost papery white, and there are more scars along his legs - and a particularly bad scar beneath his golden gauntlet. His hair is messy and ginger, it's unkempt state going down his back a bit and partially covering his blinded eye.

He wears the clothing of a Piglin Brute; A messy black rag covering most of his body, held together by a leather piece around the neck-and-chest area, and a gold-buckled leather belt. On his left arm he wears a golden gauntlet, also identical to that of a piglin brute's.

Biology
Biology is where Nezhakai differs from a human. As a Netherborn, he naturally has an immunity to fire, thanks to the nether's corrupting magical airs causing a rapid evolution in him as he grew in the Nether's heat. Through a combination of channeling those corrupt magics, and watching the Nether Mobs such as Ghasts and Striders, he has also developed the biological abilities to walk or run across lava, and to create and launch a fireball.

As most Netherborn are, Nezhakai is deadly allergic to water unless the water has been mixed in with things beyond recognition, such as in potions. His stomach also cannot handle plantlife, making him effectively carnivorous.

Personality
Nezhakai can be a bit secluded from people at times, to a point of making his "Alliance" base in a place where none can find it without his direct help. He also doesn't overly enjoy large groups of people, or spending too much time with any singular person, and he can be quick to make opinions on people, to a fault even.

He's calmer around Dom than he is around most people, simply because he's known Dom the longest, but even then he can get sick of him quite quick.

Backstory
Nezhakai was born as "Troy" to two human parents who had been banished to the Nether. His birth name is all he remembers of them. From the day they died onwards, Nezhakai lived his life among piglins, and saw multiple generations of piglins grow, making Nezhakai the oldest in the group. He trained to be a Brute by the Piglin's standards, and he had picked up enough that he was training some of them by the end, but eventually, the Zombie virus broke out and zombified his entire Tribe. He spent about a week with them after that, grateful for their defence from the crueller piglins who'd hunt him down. Following his departure from that tribe, he started spending time with Striders, using them to get him across lava lakes - he was only in his early teens at this point and hadn't really learnt to use his abilities in a meaningful way. He'd sleep on a Strider's back as they traversed a lake, and once on the other side, he'd feed the strider, take back the saddle, and send the strider on it's way.

While doing this, he'd start fighting numerous mobs, earning him the title of "The Nether Hunter," though no one ever really used it. Piglins are linguistically challenged after all. When he needed a place to stay, he'd tunnel into a cave wall and dig out an alcove, and make a temporary base.

SMP Beginnings
On a particularly hard day in the nether, following losing his items and whatnot else to a piglin brute attack, and finding his current temporary bunker had been raided and was empty, he headed out exploring. After a short while, he stumbled across an obsidian structure - a Nether Portal - which, not knowing what it was - he headed through.

Upon seeing this strange new world of grey stone he'd stumbled into, he fled back out, only to be caught in a ghast attack that destroyed the portal. Strangely however, it only took a few more weeks of wandering before he found another one of these portal structures, and headed through for real, this time finding himself in Uny's Village.

He spent a while in the village before returning to the Nether, since although this "Overworld" was less hostile, Nezhakai at least knew the Nether. Once back, he decided; If neither world was good for people like him, he'd create somewhere that was. He found an old, abandoned fortress-city in the nether, and following some renovations, he announced the opening of the Nether Alliance;

A small alliance between people, in which Nezhakai was their lord, and they would be safe.

The first person recruited into the alliance was Jupputt - more commonly called by his birthname, Dom - a fellow Netherborn who he'd met a while ago while exploring, and had helped out with some Bastion-related issues. Or, more accurately, they helped each other deal with a Bastion.

Following Dom's recruitment, the Nether Alliance became far more productive, frequently collecting and trading Netherite with the overworlders, and even recruiting Luki as an ambassador between the Nether Alliance and the Overworld.

Trivia

 * The name "Nezhakai" comes from the Chinese protector-deity, Nezha. However Nether_8Hunter only found out about this through the game Warframe, in which one of the titular warframes is called Nezha, that being what Nether_8Hunter plays as in that.
 * Nezha also has high relation to fire and heat, similarly to Nezhakai.
 * If pronounced in specific accents, such as Japanese, Nether would be pronounced Nezha.
 * The reason Nezhakai was given the birthname "Troy" was to explain away when the people behind Nezhakai and Jupputt - Troy and Dom - call each other by their actual first names even in roleplay scenarios, which will inevitably happen a lot.
