About the character:

His name is Nel. A teenager living in the lower sections of the spire. His parents were slug farmers and wanted him to become a warrior. But unlike others his age, Nel has always been interested in studying the animals that dwell inside the forest. He is fascinated with how the animals mutate when they live near nanite ores. A legend in his village speaks of a beast that is made completely of nanite but can only be seen by those who are crazy enough to cross the forest. Nel has made it his life's purpose to find and understand this mysterious creature and to uncover the secrets of the forest. His grandfather (an explorer/warrior) had told him before dying that he saw the beast once and since then had had visions of a young boy standing on the beast's head. Nel has a bird named 'Cherry', who he had rescued from a broken nest. These two are inseparable.
