Nikan is the main character of the book. He is ostensibly a pirate. He captains his ship the "Mana Storm". He is eccentric. The man is charismatic and intense. He has a short fuse when challenged. He is protective of his loyal followers and does his best to keep them from being harmed. He believed in magic and the supernatural long before anybody knew they existed. He studied the old accounts of magic so that when magic one day returned to the world he would know what to do with it and what sort of magic he was given. He is terse about his plans, but he gives long-winded sermons to his followers (and anybody who will listen) about the nature of magic, how it works and that it will be back in the world again. He regales many with stories about the origin of magic and the fates that took magic from the world.

He also worries for the future of the world to the point of wanting to personally shape a better future. He has an innate sense of right and wrong with his own shades or morality. He has many friends and allies and just as many enemies.

Nikan has the magic gift of utilizing force (gravity) and the ability to have prophetic dreams. He utilizes them with ease and puts almost no effort into the use of his abilities. His force ability is tied to his personality (sheer force of personality and charisma) as well as his angry and aggressive side. His foreseeing is tied to his worry for the future.

For Nikan I am looking for somebody with a deep/growly/low/commanding voice. One or all of those traits are sufficient.
