he grew up in a small forest gnome village. he wasnt the strongest or most intimidating gnome there but he was a curious and confident little guy. when he was a kid he would explore the forest around the village and tried to make friends with the animals he met ( like a disney princes). as he got older he would go aroung the village helping anyone who needed it. one day the village got attacked my a strange creature and everyone in the village was trying to escape but he stayed back to deffened the village. he picked up a longsword that he found that was way to big for him but he felt as if it made for him. he fought the creature for a while and eventually the creature fled and that marked him as a hero around the village. he kept the longsword and is his main weapon in combat.
appearance: he has short curly mess brown hair with hints of ginger, it is messy and has lots of leaves and sticks stuck in his hair from getting lost in forests. nim stands at 3'2 and is 50 years old he is the shortest of his village. he has a large round nose with small scars on it, he has a large beard and mustash that also has some leaves stuck in it. he has a large scar that goes down his face starting from slightly above his eyebrown and goes down to his cheak.
personality: he is very caring, he will help anyone who looks as if they needed it, he loves animals, he isnt serious until he needs to be, ( he is super adhd and will just randomly go on little rants about things). his flaw is that he will follow animals no matter the size and will try to give it a little pet.
