Physical Description:
Face: Can easily be mistaken for an effeminate boy.
Hair: Mahogany in color and kept cut short in a pixie bob.
Eyes: Mocha
Skin: Smooth, golden bronze
Body: Boyish and narrow, very little feminine curve. He is flat-chested, making his gender easy to hide.
Clothing: Wears cargo pants, tank tops, boots, a black army cadet cap with a white skull on the front, and a green corduroy button-up jacket. Also has a tool belt around his waist at all times. Has his upper chest tightly wrapped at all times to hide what little chest he does have.
Tattoos/Piercings: None.
Scars: If you were to feel beneath Nick’s hair, his scalp is littered with scars from multiple cranial surgeries.
Weapons: Twin semi-automatic pistols kept in a shoulder hoister.
Personality:
Strangers: When you first meet Nick, he will be wary and standoffish, perhaps even snarky. He distrusts most people and will not easily befriend most people.
Acquaintances: A little sarcastic and certainly unrefined, but overall a nice person, once he decides you’re not going to hurt him.
Friends: Nick has trust issues and doesn’t make friends easily. However, if you have managed to gain his friendship, he’s still sarcastic and unrefined, but he also lets his better qualities shine through.
Close Friends: If you’ve made it this far, then you’re one heck of a person to have won him over this much. Nick will go out of his way to help you and is a loyal and devoted friend. He likes to joke and poke fun and tease and generally likes to have a good time. Since you’re a close friend, he actually feels safe and comfortable enough to loosen up around you.
Best Friends: You probably know everything about Nick by now, including the fact that he is a girl, and not the boy he pretends to be. Not only will he go out of his way for you, he’d lay down his life for you.
History:
Early Childhood: Was born and raised on a backwater planet in a small human settlement. Parents insisted on calling him Nicholas and dressing him up in boy’s clothing. He was forced to act and think like a son instead of a daughter.
Childhood: War broke out when Nick was seven years old. He suffered a severe gunshot wound to the head. He was evacuated to a hospital in Cancer in an attempt to save his life. His wounds were dire and they performed multiple, extremely risky and experimental surgeries on his brain to try to repair as much damage as they could. He remained in a coma for four years as they continued to use him as a test subject for various projects of the medical staff.
Late Childhood: When Nick was eleven, a surgeon decided that he would experiment with nano-technologies and AI systems to try to at least bring the young girl out of his comatose state. It took seven weeks of additional surgeries, several nano-bot injections, and hours of programing. However, now fitted with a computer AI operating system, Nick opened his eyes for the first time in four years.
Teens: After coming out of His coma, Nick had to undergo extensive rehabilitation and therapy. His parents had been killed in the war on his home planet and he had become a ward of the hospital. It took years for him to re-learn to walk, talk, and perform basic tasks, plus he had to learn how to use his AI systems in harmony with his biological brain.
The doctors considered him a great success and constantly monitored his progress and tested his new abilities. They uploaded mechanical programs and set him to work on various hospital equipment; seeing if they could actually program a trade into a human being. It worked beautifully and the hospital was abuzz with excitement. They could potentially wipe out the need for schooling with AI programing inserted into a human being!
Nick was very unhappy with his new life as everyone’s favorite lab rat. He became even more withdrawn and mistrustful. He had no friends in this place; he wasn’t even looked at like a real person, just a test subject. One of the surgeons had actually become rather fond of the strange girl that refused to acknowledge anyone that addressed him as a girl. Sixteen at this point, the doctor presented him with a tool belt. It was a practical gift, considering they had programed him into a tinkering profession.
His real gift was a surprise, he told him. Leading him through the hospital, he moved to an underground labyrinth of tunnels. Giving him precise instructions, he left him at an intersection and returned to work. It was hours before anyone even realized that he had escaped.
It took him approximately six hours to figure out how to hack into a computer network, generate credits, upload a weapons program, and purchase two handguns.
Magic/Abilities:
AI Operating System: Nick can upload instructions on just about anything he wants, if he can find the programing.
Weapons: Nick uploaded information on the care, maintenance, and operation of dozens of guns, knives, and explosives.
Hand-to-Hand Combat: Nick has uploaded several different programs on various martial arts techniques. His knowledge is infallible, his application is lacking.
Relationships: None.
