Nether 8Hunter

Nezhakai was the founder, leader, and an active member of The Nether Alliance in the first world, and re-founded the Alliance upon entering the second world.

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.

Through unknown means, Nezhakai has one key ability that is contrasted to most Netherborn; He can hear the strange languages of both blazes and piglins as clear English. He doesn't fully understand how himself, however.

Personality
Nezhakai's personality is complicated. Before coming to the overworld, he was quiet. A shaky mess, unwilling to communicate with living beings. After that though, he became more outgoing, surprised to see a world of life, and wanting to protect others, and create a safe place for them. Despite this he was still quite reclusive, building his "Safe space" extremely far away.

After the First World's war, he became more distant, blocking out cares and emotions in favour of coldheartedness, and this got worse and worse as Uny began banning the people that Nezhakai called friends. Eventually, he snapped, to a point of attempted suicide and bringing an entire fortress down with him. When he awoke in the Second World he was relieved, but he quickly realised this was a second chance. A chance to try again while already knowing the atrocities of humanity.

Backstory
Nezhakai was born to 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 to refer to him. 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.

The First World
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 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 Jupputt'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.

Eventually, the time of Yuyn's Dragon Raid came, and Nezhakai, Jupputt, and Luki were all involved - Jupputt being the only casualty of said fight. When they returned, and Jupputt harvested resources from the Nether, all seemed well, until Animah declared war on numerous numbers - the people involved in the Dragon Raid. For the most part the Nether Alliance avoided the war, but when Luki's house was burnt down, Nezha retaliated by rigging explosive traps in Animah's home.

Eventually though, Animah seemingly gave up on his war, and the next problem became Uny himself. Uny began banning anyone who questioned him, and unfortunately that included Luki and Yuyn - Nezha and Jupputt's two closest allies. This eventually lead to dejection from the two, and in an action almost akin to a suicide pact, they rigged every single Nether Alliance base with TNT, and detonated it with them inside, killing Nezha instantly.

Awaking in a New World
Rather than being in any sort of afterlife, the first thing Nezha saw upon awaking was in fact just... Basalt. Eventually he came too properly and saw that he was in The Nether, but he didn't recognise the area, quickly concluding that he was in a new world. He created a camp of sorts in the Basalt Tomb he had awoken on, and simply began exploring again, while contemplating how and why he'd survived. Eventually he determined this to be a second chance - a chance to try again at life, knowing from the start how corrupt the world was.

During his adventures, he came across Jupputt once again, much to his own relief. He recruited his friend into their encampment, and as with last time, Jupputt's arrival boosted productivity by a landslide. The two eventually - using the ruins of an old portal - made their way back into the overworld, before gathering a few resources and retreating back into the Nether. Since then, they've set up a new base for the Nether Alliance on newer, darker morals, and are ruling over both the Overworld and the Nether as the most powerful group on the server so far.

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.
 * I'm writing this. Right now. I *am* Nether_8Hunter. I'm this Wiki's only editor. I'm holding myself hostage-
 * The Second World was a joint effort between Dom, Yuyn, and Troy, in response to Uny banning Yuyn and Luki from the First world.
 * Frequently - even in Lore videos - Dom and Troy will refer to themselves as such. This is a mistake and force of habit on their part. Their characters are Jupputt and Nezhakai, respectively.
