Nimbus stared up at the church. It was the biggest building in this world, which made him wonder how religious the people of this world were.
The people in his world were religion before law. So, the kings and queens always found themselves at war with the zealots or changing laws to work with the religions. Politics in his world was great like that... But, it wasn't exactly a bad thing that his world were full of religious zealots since it kept people afraid of the Darkness.
That may have been the reason why his world lost so horribly against the Heartless. It was the fear of the Darkness that everyone had that led to their demise. Darkness had been new to his world and was still new to Nimbus.
Darkness...how he still feared it. But, Nimbus was apparently given this scythe of his to combat it! "I do not...understand you...Destiny," he whispered through his face-guard. He slowly bent down to the ground, kneeling before the church of this world. "I want to...understand," he whispered in prayer to Destiny.

How odd it had been for Nimbus...to pray to something such as Destiny as compared to his Gods! But, it seemed that---him being the only survivor of his world---his Gods were no longer existant, so they were dead.
Friends, gone. Family, gone. Kingdom, gone. World, gone. Gods, gone. Nimbus really had nothing of value anymore.
"Nothing of value... No reason to exist... A mere forgotten memory is all my existance is," he whispered. "And yet...Destiny, you...continue to make me fight the Heartless?" It just didn't make sense. He had been told all his life that a worthless man was a purposeless man...but he was now a worthless man thrown into several worlds with a purpose.
Nimbus wanted to cry. He was too old and it is unheard of for royalty to cry, but did those morals matter in a world that wasn't his own? Nimbus did keep the tears inside...
[Stalking me now?]

[Good excuse..heh]
At the sudden sound, Nimbus instantly got to his feet, pulling his scythe off his back and into his hands in the process. He was facing the direction of the sound, but taking a moment to locate the creator of the sound. Nimbus did not say anything to her, simply stared with glaring eyes...

Seeing that she seemed to be slightly frightened by him, he assumed that she probably wasn't there to attack him or anything and lowered his weapon. He tilted his head a little, curious as to what she wanted, but never in the mood to ask. His eyes grew easy, blinking awkwardly at the situation.

Nimbus sighed through the mask covering the lower half of his face, looking over his shoulder at the stained window. "I smelled you...the moment you...entered. You simply...startled me with the crash," he said to her in a barely audible voice, placing his KeyReaper scythe on his back where it belonged. He turned his head back to her. Holding out a twitchy hand as if he was close enough to grab onto her, Nimbus called out to her, "I'm sorry if I...scared you. I've heard you people call it...karma? Either way.., I didn't mean to..."

Nimbus dropped his hand to his side and blinked at her, fore he had no idea what this 'christ' or 'hail mary' was. Must have been this world's religion or something, so he didn't mention it, feeling like an outsider as is. Nimbus placed a hand on his hip, looking back up at the ceiling's structure. It was obviously supporting something on the top of the building judging by its structure...more than likely a bell, Nimbus had concluded to himself. He shot his gaze back at the girl once she mentioned forgiveness. Nimbus's gods gave no forgiveness, so this too was a strange concept to him.

[Ooo...you're going to hell! *points fingers*]
Nimbus nodded, faking his understanding. He kicked the ground. This world was just too hard for his child-like mind to understand! Nimbus wasn't mature enough mentally for all this. "......."
[And off I go to sleep.]

Nimbus shook her head at the girl. "Praying to the dead...wakes them up! That isn't right... It is even..against the laws of...my wor-" Nimbus paused mid-sentence, realizing that he was still living by the society that no longer exists...and never existed to the people of this world. He ran a hand through his white hair, dodging his several horns to do so. With eyes on the ground, he simply replied, "I'm just...here."

Nimbus examined the female for a moment. Finally, he closed his eyes. "My world kept to itself... You wouldn't know...of it." His eyes shot open, staring out the stained glass. Smelling the Heartless outside of the church, he growled quietly to himself.

Nimbus blinked out of curiousity at the weapon she withdrew. What is that weapon, he wondered. "Outside...I smell them," he said, not removing his gaze from the gun of hers.

Nimbus had no answer, so gave none. He watched her with interest as she went off to the door. Bang! Bang! Bang! Nimbus dropped to his knees, hands over his head. "What...what was...that? So...loud!" he said to himself more than her since it was probably too quiet for her to hear. How terrified he was of that sound; he could be seen quivering out of fear every so often.

"Why did you...make that...sound? The...loud sound... Why did you...make the loud sound...?" he asked, tilting his head back up to look at her with wide, scared eyes. This guy was scared of a lot of things...

He had flinched when she had pulled out the gun, but stared at it once again when he saw that it was harmless...relatively. He stopped his quivering, calming down a little, his heart growing steadier. He looked up at her. "You didn't...turn into a...monster...and roar?" he asked her, revealing what he thought had happened.

[XD I think I put him down as 18 years of age. Yeah, so he is just an older but very...mentally weak guy...I guess you would say.]
It was only now that Nimbus stood from his...fearful state, playing it off like nothing happened...because he was a guy and that is what guys do. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, asking her through his face-guard, "What is...your name?"

[Maternal feelings, eh? Great... ]
"Nimbus. Er...that is what...they used to call me...at least." He wasn't so sure if that was his name now that he had lost his world. "Nimbus...as was my father...and his father...and all the way beginning to the beginning."

Nimbus stared at the new arrival. She was an odd one. He placed a hand on his hip, smelling Heartless all over her. She obviously managed to get through the hordes of Heartless harboring outside the church. All the Heartless waiting outside of the church for those inside reminded him of the stories of demons doing the same back in his world. He ignored that thought though, not wanting to scare himself. ".....?"
