» HAIR • I don't know.. normal? Yeah, it's pretty normal. Black, about medium length. I don't mess with it much, so its kinda unruly. And by that, I mean it's shaggy, wavy, and sprawls all over the place. Still, compared to some of the clowns you see running around here, it's normal.

» EYES • The windows to the soul? Yeah, sure. They're green, bordering on teal.

» HEIGHT • 5'9"

» WEIGHT • 147 lbs

» OTHER • Okaaay, let's get to counting. I've got a long scar along my thigh. It's mostly healed now, though, so don't get all freaked out. There's another on my ankle. A little knick on my right elbow. And I once had to get my left pinky toe sowed back on. All battle scars, 'cus I'm a reckless rebel with everything to prove. Except that pinky toe part, but you don't need to know about that.

» POSITIVE

✧ Resourceful

I think on my feet, and come up with ideas on the fly. You have to in the Dream World, or you're gonna be dead quicker than you can curse your slow-wittedness. Once I've got the situation assessed, chances are I've thought up five different ways to get out of it *snap* just like that.

✧ Determined

When I've got something in my head, I'm gonna get it done, no matter the odds. Hey, it's not being bullheaded! No, I'm keeping this trait right here in the positives, because it just is, okay?

✧ Compassionate

Haha, no. Whatever rumors you've heard about that are complete and utter fallacies. I think I know myself a little better than you do. I mean, it isn't like I'd go charging in to save anyone in danger, or help anyone if they ask, or give comfort... Shut up.

✧ Meticulous

Wouldn't be much of a Navigator otherwise, now would I? It borders on OCD, really. Everything has to be just so, and I do my best to keep it that way, even in the Dream World. Things tend to run more smoothly that way. So simply put: Listen. To. Me. Get it? Got it? Good.

✧ Independent

You don't have to worry about babysitting me; I'm a big boy who can handle himself. That's not to say I'll abandon anyone! I'm just better off doing things by myself, without anyone screwing everything up.

» NEGATIVE

✦ Withdrawn

No, I'm not shy or anything. I'm just not so good with talking to people, so what? It's not like there's much of a need for friends in the Dream World. Trust me, I can take care of myself.

✦ Impatient

Oh, am I? Sure, let's play "I Spy" while the giant squid Nightmare of suction-y death is deciding whether salt or pepper would season us better. You know what I spy? ITS TEETH. Also, don't be stupid. I'll smack you upside the head. That is, if the horrific abberrations in the Dream World don't eat you first. Is this thing done yet?

✦ Uptight

You're seriously going to count that as a vice? How is being more concerned about our lives and sanity than goofing off a negative trait? Here's a hint: it's not. Idiot.

✦ Sardonic

Never heard that one before. It means biting, mocking, sarcastic, for those who don't have a dictionary on hand. I'm not like that all the time. Only when someone says something that deserves the comment... which is pretty much all the time.

✦ Overconfident

This is what people keep telling me, anyway. But they just haven't seen me in action. I haven't encountered anything too big or smart for me to handle. I might not be a Fighter, but I can still claim names just as easily. It's part of that 'big boy' deal I explained.

» LIKES

✓ Adventure

I hate sitting around doing nothing, so I'm pretty eager to have a fulfilling role. Having a Navigator on hand is a necessity for any party, right? I mean, unless wandering blindly right into the maw of a Nightmare is your idea of fun times all-around.

✓ Cooking

Make a "get back in the kitchen" joke, and I'll kick you into the Wastes. I've been fixing my own meals for a while now, and I like to think I do a pretty damn good job at it. I like making spaghetti most.

✓ Noir films

My guilty pleasure. I don't know if it's bias, or if the filming industry has steadily dropped its I.Q. over the years, but those black-and-white movies are simply the best. I've got almost every one of them... No, you can't borrow any.

✓ Sketching

I'm not particularly artsy. A pencil and paper will do just fine with me. But landscapes, weird creatures in the Dream World, and other people tend to get drawn when I have the time. It's pretty relaxing.

✓ Birds

I know, a lot of people hate them, and for perfectly understandable reasons. But, I dunno, I just like them for some reason. The way they fly around without a care in the worl- I mean, they make for good eating. Yeah.

» DISLIKES

✕ Being touched

Look, I'll help you out. Just, don't touch me. If I don't know you, there's absolutely no reason why we need to make physical contact. There's plenty of other people here that would love a hug, so go be touchy-feely on them!

✕ Disorder

I know the Dream World isn't known for its solid structure, and I can deal with that. But only that. When everyone starts running around and not listening, and my game plan is rapidly falling apart, I'm pretty sure foam starts forming in my mouth.

✕ Stupidity

That sounds a little vague... Ignorance is fine. If you don't know it, you don't know it. But acting like a raging moron when this obviously isn't the time or place to do that is at the top of my hate list. That cutesy 'Oh help I don't know what I'm doing!' routine isn't going to get you any favors from me.

✕ Maximillian

The annoying Guardian dog thing that I don't need, but was somehow convinced to have anyway. And what's worse, I think he's supposed to be a freakin' great dane! On steroids! Have you SEEN those things? So it's like, a HUGE annoyance. Seriously, all he does is eat, poop, and inappropriately pee on everything. I hate him so much.

✕ Dad

I don't hate him. I got over that years ago. But I can certainly do without having to talk to him when I get home. There's always that awkward air whenever we do, and I've got enough problems in my day without that to pile on the stress.

» LEVEL • One.

» ITEMS

• Twin Daggers

My specialty. Good for cutting away brush, getting out of tangles, and stabbing the occasional eldritch horror in the eye. I only ever get to use them in the Dream World, of course, because they get confiscated by the Base. 24" in length, 17" stainless steel blade.

• Sketchbook

I need to draw out what I'm sensing ahead of me in the Dream World, so, you know, having something to actually draw with is a plus. And doodling for the hell of it isn't so bad.

» FAMILY

• Drake Carmens - Father

You've probably heard of "The Great Drake," a Fighter bordering on stardom around here. And if you haven't, keep up the good work. He still does trips to the Dream World from time to time, probably to keep up his rep. All in all a good dad, if you like the showy, nosey, aggrivating type.

• Bianca Carmens - Mother (Deceased)

The less annoying parent, mostly because she was stricken with a severe case of death. Not much memory of her, but dear old Dad fills in the gaps with all kinds of stories.

» BIRTHDAY • February 8th

» HISTORY •

- - - - - ~ - - - - -

» SECRETS • Niko is has a crippling fear of heights. As a Navigator, he tries to cover this up. Horrifyingly bad Hilarious results follow.

• Despite his claims otherwise, he's a little insecure about how his class wasn't exactly what he or his dad was expecting. He doesn't feel any resentment towards other Fighters, but he sometimes goes a little too far trying to prove his worth as being just as good as one.

• The pinky toe incident? Nothing to say on the matter. If Niko's ever asked about it, he fabricates a story on the spot that's different with each telling. Sarcasm oozes from the tale, so it's not hard to realize that he's lying.
