At first Nepsus would seem mysterious and distant. Being an introvert Nepsus doesn't easily blend in with the crowd. Yet when he tries, he masks his true identity, remaining almost impossible to decode. However, in the midst of all his rather intriguing quietness, there's a loud beautiful mind full of thoughts and calculations intertwined into the marvelous mess that makes Nepsus so unique. Once he opens up the gates of his inner self, a kind-hearted, gentle, loving, caring and incrediblly handome creature is revealed and it's impossible not to fall in love with him.
