NAME Nickolas Andrew James
AGE 29 years
GENDER Male
HEIGHT 6'3"
SEXUAL ORIENTATION Straight
APPEARANCE [[Clicky for Piccy]]
Nickolas is more tall and lean than anything near muscular. He may have muscles, they just aren't worth watching him strip. He may look good with cloths on but, in his opinion, only a mother could try to love him with his cloths off. He believes that is the case with most men. Nickolas is still pretty young but taking care of his ornery siblings for 13 years has really worn him. At times he neglects to shave the thin mustache and beard that threatens to take over his face but he is usually pretty good about his grooming habits; except his hair. Nickolas has dark brown/black. It is darker at the top and gets slowly more brown closer to his neck. The darker hair is slightly thick and is cut so that he can effectivly push his bangs back to the side of his head. It is fairly messy unless he has taken the time to brush through it, otherwise he just pushes it off to the side with his hand. His ears are slightly small but not enough to be called abnormal. His lips are normal size for a man yet slightly pale. He has light grey eyes, that could be mistaken for see-through at times. He has to use reading glasses. His skin is very light/pale.
The cloths Nickolas wears tend to be neutral colours and fairly simple. It would be rare to see him any more dressed up than slacks and a button up shirt. The only colours he likes to wear other than neutrals are red and blue, though sometimes he may throw in green. Nickolas is often seen in flannel and jeans or some other type clothing that he prefers simply for comfort.
TRAITS/PERSONALITY Nickolas is really a pretty simple guy. He is down to earth and task-oriented. He really enjoys being around people and helping people and always tries to get to know them on a personal level. Though he wants to be involved with people, he doesn't really want to find a wife and get married. That is to say, he doesn't go out looking for women. If one came along he felt was perfect, he would propose, but he already went through the father stage and is not eager to do so again. It does not matter to Nick whether he is "cool" or not as long as he is comfortable and has someone to talk to. He really enjoys talking but there is always a purpose to what he says. He tends to act... oddly when he doesn't get a variety of human contact. Thankfully, teaching and "caring for" more kids than three of his own siblings gives him this variety. Lucian, Calvin, and Julia have seen his odd behavior and they like to tease him about it. Nick takes any teasing with good humor, enjoying a joke as much as the next person. Nothing really seems to bother him. The only thing that does is the way some people allow others to completly control their lives. It really takes something big to get him angry enough to do something about it.
It may seem like Nickolas is lazy but that is far from the truth. He is always busy and doing something. Nickolas hates to be bored and believes that free time is bad. Keeping with that idea, Nick goes to sleep around 10 or 11 and gets up at 6. If he gets up any later, he is either sick or desperatly in need of sleep, in which case he may sleep an extra hour or two. Sleeping late is wasting time better spent on something else.
Through experience, Nick is a great multi-tasker. He is very responsible and knows how to get what he needs. He never attended Hogwarts because he was parenting his younger siblings. But, he spent any free time reading books and talking to the wizarding families in his neighborhood. He may not know the most about being a wizard or casting spells but astrology has been a passion of his since he read a horoscope in a muggle newspaper when he was 10. He was also, along with Alexander, the only of his siblings that retained thier parents' Scottish accent.
SPECIAL ABILITIES Great at managing things and multi-tasking
HISTORY When his parents spilt, and Nickolas was 16, he didn't feel much. He had heard them fight so many nights over what they suspected of each other. He was actually relieved when they separated. His sister was devastated as was his eldest brother, Alexander. Alexander moved in with his father's parents. He only had a year left at Hogwarts but he wasn't ready to go out on his own. Nickolas was always the understanding one. He helped his family when anything happened and pretty much took on the role of father when the kids lived with their mother. Since the three youngest siblings grew up with only one parent at a time, they learned to trust Nickolas as their parent figure more than their actual parents. Julia just grew silent and eventually moved in with their father's parents like Alexander had. Nickolas was left with his two younger brothers. Their mother had given up trying to take care of her kids and let them run her life. Nickolas was always trying to get them a nice life, ignoring his Hogwarts letter to care for his family; Though he did start learning about magic from the books he found time to read or helping his brothers with their studies. Lucian and Calvin tried but both of them always had such tempers and they got into trouble. Within the four years it would take for Lucian to get his Hogwarts letter, the family reduced to four had lived in 19 different towns, in 23 different schools. Lucian tried out Hogwarts but after only a few months, the Headmaster had suspended him permanently and requested that he be sent to Durmstrang where "someone had a chance of straightening him out". Nickolas had sent his brother to the academy after many frustrating days of begging and pleading on Lucian's part that he not be sent. Two years later, it was Calvin's turn to try out Hogwarts. Learning from his brother's mistake, Calvin did his best not to screw up. He lasted, keeping his brother happy and giving him the chance to learn magic from some of the families that lived near him and his mother. Julia never developed her magical skills enough to receive a Hogwarts letter but with enough money from her grandfather, Beauxbatons accepted her. But with each year that passes, the kids relearn how dreadful his mother's pushy father can be. Every few months, or so it seems for the doomed boys, their grandfather sends a letter to them claiming he has some fantastic dame waiting for them. When each of them protests, he moans and blackmails until they take the girl on a date. The women are always high-class, arrogant, manipulative, and devious. And with each woman, the boys' lives grow more and more controlled and depraved. Nickolas has the best luck deflecting these women one way or another. Only one ever seemed to him as anything more than a hired tramp but Beverly had died one morning on her way to meet Nickolas. He was upset but never lets anyone see that particular feeling.
