Nikolas Miller Carnivore | 20+ | EST | Michael Clifford  NICKNAME Nik GENDER Male AGE 19 SEXUALITY Pansexual MAIN ELEMENT Wind APPEARANCE Tall, slender, proud punk kid with long limbs and a narrow build. His eyes are large and hazel, his hair is a spiky, messy disaster that he’s constantly dyeing. Currently, it’s bleached to near-white with a black streak down the middle. His left eyebrow and bottom lip are pierced and he’s got a few tattoos scattered across his body. He wears sturdy clothing though he manages to keep his style intact. He likes looking a bit different. Even if it’s not always practical. His appearance is one of the few things he has absolute control over. LOCATION Splits his time between The City & The Exchange PERSONALITY Nik’s nothing if not determined, a smart dude who knows what he wants from the niche he’s carved out for himself. As a scavenger, thief, and trader, his life is dangerous and competitive, which has honed in him a lot of ruthlessness and drive to succeed while others fail. He’s deeply selfish and puts his own survival above all else; showing compassion and empathy is not high on his list of priorities. He has no problem with manipulating others, or using force to get what he needs, though he’d *probably* never kill anyone unless his own death was 100% imminent. There is something a little less monstrous beneath Nik’s surface -- he’s genuinely smart, he has an excellent sense of humor, and there’s some capacity for warmth in him -- but not a lot of people get to see that side of Nikolas. Not because he thinks he’s too good for friends or whatever, but because he realizes he’s kind of a giant bastard and he’s too set in his ways to change now without some massive catalyst. He doesn’t /want/ to hurt or manipulate people who have nothing to do with his seedy lifestyle. It’s easier to keep his distance from others, but like anyone else, Nik needs to be social once in a while, so he does have a small handful of close friends. He’s always wary of himself when they’re around. HISTORY Nik knows he had a few years of normalcy before the apocalypse began, but like hell if he can remember them clearly. He’s mostly been on his lonesome since his parents were killed. In his early teen years, Nikolas discovered he had a very minor talent -- using wind, he could boost his speed a little. Not a lot, but enough so that he could get away from most people. He took advantage of it and learned how to rob like a pro. His first victims were people chance met in his travels and he worked up from there. Once he reached The City, Nik built himself a reputation as a good little thief and someone who was willing to encroach on dangerous territory in order to collect scrap and supplies for trade. Both of those are still working out for him and he sees no reason to change his ways right now. |
