PERSONALITY
• F L I R T • what kind of boy would he be if he didn't flirt? he's not always so obnoxious, and never has been when it came to the ladies. nick's rather laid back around them, and doesn't seem flustered around any women. he's rather mysterious or just plain hot; he has a sort of strategy so he doesn't come off as strong or too weak. you can say he's experienced, if that floats your boat. he's not one to send cute little valentine notes to a new girlfriend, unless there's something clicking there that he wants a part of. he's rahter romantic when he wants to be, but can be rather shallow seeming at times too; he's really just experimenting unless there's really something between this girl and him.
• A D V E N T U R E R • nick isn't the kind of teenager who likes to sit at home and do absolutely nothing. he's more of the adventure kid; the one who wants to go to six flags at every opportunity. he never lets something good go by without giving it a chance or showing up to find out. nick likes being the one to take girls out; especially since he's really quite odd to them when he gets all excited over going to a coffee shop or something. he can make anything fun when he thinks about it, even if it's just another boring day, he loves the experimental side of it all. he'll do anything to get some fun, and is one to pull someone off the boring bus to take them on a joyous ride of the city. he knows every nook and cranny in the city; yes, he's explored it all. every aspect of it is a story for him, and he can make it fun no matter what.
• E X P E R I M E N T A L I S T • whatever it is, nick has tried it. he's had nearly every sort of beverage, from little kid pops to every whiskey imaginable. he's a good kid at heart, but he really has a wild side. nick is good at controlling all of that, so he can be good one moment and crazy the next. he's very good at lying and acting; emotional-wise. he regrets a lot of things he's done in the past, but he wouldn't have known what it was like otherwise and that would have driven him insane. he likes doing odd things, and is extremely spontaneous. nick is one to try one of everything at mcdonalds on the dollar menu, just to know what he'll want next time.
• M U S I C I A N • even in nick, there is a more sensitive, aspiring side. he's more perceptive to emotions in this state, and has a hard time taking jokes. nick isn't all parties and spontaneity, he can be an actual human sometimes, even if it's not the right time. nick spends countless hours on his guitar and bass, and plus a few when he's feeling down. even though he's one to get out of the house, sometimes he really has to shut himself up for a few days just to clear his head. he's spiritual and believes in god no matter what anyone says. nick spends some days just writing songs and playing guitar, and his youtube, which by the way has almost 5,000 hits, is filled with covers of countless songs. he's a crazy good bassist and has a hand for the drumset; but he really is aspiring to learn the ukulele.
• P A R T Y K I D • the good thing about being on tour all your life is that you get to know people. then you get to party with those people. nick has the thing; he doesn't like small parties or parties where he knows no one there. he has to know some people, and nothing can be awkward. once you get past that, it's all fun and games. he looooves parties, he loves dancing, he loves socializing. he's always known that and never has really had a problem with it. sometimes he's the kid who gets in trouble with all that; the parties and stuff. sometimes he can be having a little too much fun and things can get out of hand; and he knows it. that's just made him a shit-load more friends.

HISTORY
usually it all starts out with him being born. not this time. nick had a life before he was born. or, at least, his mom did. his mom was a wild child when she got to college; mostly because all her life she had lived in a suburban paradise, with everything going for her but her parents. she could barely leave the house with boys, and only on rare occasions to a non-public place. so when it was college time, she was a free woman. she fell in love with a musician, against her parent's will, and they got married. soon enough, there was a baby on the way. jamie vowed to never let her child(ren) grow up the way she did, so she would let them have their freedom when they got older. she didn't expect them to go so far off coarse or do anything literally against her, as long as she could give them what she never had as a child. she wanted opportunities for them, to get out and make friends and kiss girls.
so when nicholas was born there was no surprises in that. he was a free child, very cute and curious. his parents loved him more than life, and thought of him as the thing that brought them the light. he was a loud, demandingly cute child, and always got away with things. because of his mother's idea of freedom, nick got to do everything and anything he wanted. he was always in things he wasn't supposed to be in, always eating something that wasn't edible. usually hazardous. but he was loved.
his father was a musician, and his mother finally went to work for something big and high-paying. it didn't fit her personality whatsoever, because she had been so laid back and what-not. she was a business woman now, and it was odd for the little child to see her like this. but it was unconditional love, of coarse. when nick was sent to school, early for his grade, he made instant friends. he was the one in the back planning the attack on timmy and his block castle that looked so fun to knock over. he got into trouble in that department, but he always had fun with it, and never complained when he got in trouble. because he knew what he did, he'd often fess up to it anyway. that's what was good about him; he was a trouble maker, but an honest trouble maker. it was adorable.
when nick got into grade school, he realized that the family would have to move to florida for his mother's job. he wasn't as upset as he could have been; but he missed his friends back home as soon as he got there. florida was a new place and on the other side of the country; that mean spongebob started a few hours indifference to back home. it was an adventure; the ocean at his finger tips. this was when he noticed changes in his father. he wouldn't come home to his father strumming away on his guitar, there was only silence. nick tried not to think of it all the time, but even when he asked his father to help him with a new chord, he would say no and close the door to his bedroom. nick asked his mother about what was going on, and she said that he was sick. one morning they had to leave at almost three to take him to the hospital. this was when he knew nothing would be the same.
his father died when he was in fifth grade, of brain cancer. that was why he wouldn't play his guitar anymore; he couldn't take the noise. the death was sudden and quick, but everyone knew about it. nick remembers it in a quick blur; a lot of gifts and baskets of fruit, but no father to teach him the guitar. it was depressing, and nick was in a funk for almost a full year. then he noticed his mother coming home with men, and he was furious. he became rebellious in his young teen years, and regrets a lot of it. he was angry about why his mother could have other men when dad was watching from "upstairs". he was very religious, and so had his father been. he was following him closely in his ways.
nick had to accept his mother's doings now; she was marrying a rich editor of a paper that was big in town. without his consent. nick hated her for a long while, going out late at night and not obeying her rules. she was pregnant, and when the baby was born nick had nothing to do but soften for her. she was a beautiful baby, with dark hair like her new father's. nick never found any love in his new father; he just called him dom if he could get away with it, and never called him dad. he'd run away twice while his new sister was growing older, and often he retreated to high-friend's houses or back alleys where the music was loud in the clubs. he wanted to be on stage. it was all still rough.
getting together in a small band in high school, but it never got very far past the school gym on prom night. of coarse he had fun with it, coming into a band. when he graduated he wanted to go to college, but knew he didn't have the money. he was in a rut for a long time, finally meeting some kids that had the same dream as he; getting big in a band. they all had the type of music in common, and started their careers together. they are now all on tour with him and are having the times of their lives.
