◢ ✩ : BIOGRAPHY
When Nic was only five years old, his father left him and his mother for another woman. Despite this, his mother didn't hate his father, in fact she respected him for having enough courage to follow his heart. Her mother's reasoning has taught Nic not to hold a grudge against his father for leaving. Besides, he sent them financial help every now and then so he didn't completely abandon them. Of course, back then, he was too young to understand this; but his mother wasn't and she was grateful to her husband. Nic was an only child and with the money that his father sent them every now and then, plus the fact that his mother had been working even before his father left, they had no trouble financially. Nic was happy and content with what he had.

One evening however, the peace in their small household vanished. Nicholas was around nine years old when a psychopath managed to sneak his way into their house and killed his mother. He knew he was about to die as well, but the police arrived just in time and managed to save him. As soon as he was rescued though he fainted. The next thing he knew he was at a hospital with no recollection of what happened during the traumatic experience. However, the memories of that evening weren't the only ones that vanished from his memory. Those of the past years vanished as well. After hearing the unfortunate news, his father took him in to live with his new family.

It was hard at first, having to adjust not knowing anything or anyone. He didn't recognise his father at first. The first week, Nic was fidgety and jumpy. He didn't trust anyone. Why should he? They were all strangers to him after all. After the first week however, a memory managed to return to Nic. It was a memory with his father. Having recalled who he was, the mask of the stranger was lifted and slowly Nic began to open up to his father as well as his new family.

It's been ten years since then. Nic has managed to recover whatever memory he had with his father, but surprisingly none of his mother--his birth mother. He is blissfully unaware that the woman he considers to be his mother is in fact, not his birth mother. His father never told him. He'd been waiting for the right time; he'd been waiting for Nic to remember something--anything--about his real mother, but none came forth. Eventually, he decided it was best to keep it a secret. There was a reason why Nic locked up the memories of his birth mother. His father was afraid that opening 'Pandora's box' would cause his son grief and thus, avoided telling him.

The past ten years have been pretty uneventful for Nic. He got along well enough with his mother and younger sister.While it sometimes bother him how there are holes in his memory, Nic tries not to think about it too much. Years have passed since. He knew it was best to move forward than to dwell on the past.

◢ ✭ : RELATIONSHIPS
Clara Fontaine ( Birth mother ) Nic has forgotten all about her after the incident. Prior to it, however, they were extremely close. Nic loved his mother a lot and vice versa. Clara never viewed her son as a constant reminder of the man who left her for another woman, but instead she saw nothing but her precious little child. She would do anything and would willingly give out her life for the boy--which, she actually did. The night that she died, she tried her best to protect her little boy. A voice in the back Nic's mind is nagging him.

Erik Vanhanen ( Father ) Prior to him leaving when Nic was five, he and his son didn't have as close a relationship as Nic had with his mother. He would take his son out every now and then, but other than that, there was not much to remember. During the four years before the incident, Nic and his father had exchanged emails and met up a couple of times. Erik has made it a point that despite leaving to be with a woman he loved, Erik had no wish nor will to cut off his own son from his life. Like before, he would take Nic out when he can. He tried to be as much as a father he could be for his son. After the incident which resulted in Nic's memory loss, Erik took his son under his custody. It was only right for him to do so, plus, he wanted to help his son--he was his flesh and blood after all. Over time, the father and son grew closer to each other. Erik became protective of his boy and chose not to reveal anything about his birth mother believing that Nic's memories of her are locked for a reason.

Julia Vanhanen ( Mother ) After the incident, Nic grew up knowing no other mother other than Julia. She did her best to care for him, treat him as if he were her own son. But there's a certain hesitation that she feels in the knowledge that Nic wasn't her son--that he was the first woman's son. Nic could feel this hesitation and has always felt confused by it. He never asked though and Julia never explained. She felt that it wasn't her place to be the one to tell him that she was not his real mother. Julia constantly Erik to tell Nic the truth about his mother--of course, Nic has no knowledge of this.

Jennifer Aila Vanhanen ( Younger Sister ) Despite all their teasing (mainly from Aila), Nic and his sister get along swimmingly well. Nic was the older the brother yet Aila is just about as tall as him and acts like the older sibling. While Nic isn't aware that they were only half siblings, Aila was fully aware of the fact that Nic was his half-brother but didn't let that knowledge affect how she views him. To her she's her brother and to Nic she was her annoyingly loving sister.

{tab=5}where to go{/tab}

◢ ✭ : APPEARANCE
Height 5'8"
Weight 130 lbs
Eye Color Blue-grey
Hair Color Dark brown

Nic's hair is of a dark shade of brown, the type of shade that can easily be mistaken for black under low lighting. He keeps his hair long out of preference, but not too long though. There's only a certain length up to which he allows for his hair to grow, once it surpasses that point, he immediately takes a visit to the local barber shop to have the excess chopped off. Nic didn't always keep his hair long though. Back when he was younger, he kept it short just like most people did. At one point, his sister remarked that he should try growing his hair out; she thinks that it'll suit him. So he did. Nic ended up liking it and thus continued to keep it at such length.

Build Ectomorph; he is a skinny person with barely any fat on him. This is all thanks to his naturally fast metabolism. Nic's metabolism has always been a point of envy for his sister, but to Nic it was more of a curse. People would always ask him if he was sick, meanwhile relatives would often comment that he's gotten thinner from the last time they've seen him. Quite frankly, Nic is sick of hearing it and has been trying in vain to put weight on himself through eating. At some point, he realised that it wasn't working at all and stopped stuffing himself with more than he can handle.

Style Nic is a simple guy and this reflects well in his clothing style. He isn't one to dress up fancily and often throws on the first thing he sees in his closet, which is mostly filled with t-shirts. He prefers jeans over shorts but he does own a couple of the latter and throws them on whenever he happens to grab them out of his closet. Majority of his clothes are of dark shades, a personal preference of his. He does own a couple of pastel shirts though, all of which are gifts from his beloved sister; he's fairly certain she gave them to him just to annoy him.

◢ ✩ : MISCELLANEOUS
Likes Silence, Animals (specifically dogs), Writing, Reading, Books, Coffee
Dislikes Noise, Loud and boisterous people, Being called 'Nicole', Strawberries, Religious figures / statues, Beaches, Sports

Fears
* Solitude - Despite liking silence a lot, Nicholas fears being alone. It is why he tolerates the people around him despite them clashing with what he is and are actually what he greatly dislikes.
* Death - Much like most people, Nicholas is afraid of death. However, the reason for this is connected to his fear of solitude. Nicholas does not know whether or not there is an afterlife, and if there was, he was afraid of being alone then.

Home Nic lives with his parents in a simple modern abode. He and his sister have their own rooms at the expense of the guest room. Thus, whenever a relative of their decides to stay overnight, Aila would be evacuated to Nic's room. The siblings don't mind sharing the room though despite what Aila would say. Nic likes to keep his room tidy. [link]

Car He owns a silver BMW gran coupe. It was his father's old car gifted to him on his eighteenth birthday. Despite owning a car of his own however, Nic still prefers to take a bus or walk if he can. [link]

Others
* Nic is 1/2 Finnish, 1/4 French, and 1/4 English. His Finnish blood comes from his father (thus, the Finnish name), and his French blood comes from his birth mother who was half French. However, this doesn't mean that he automatically knows the respective languages. Nic isn't bilingual; he can only speak English--though he does know a few Finnish swear words, courtesy of his father's occasional 'slip of a tongue.'
* His sister sometimes call him Nicole to annoy him. She pretty much likes to annoy her older half-sibling.

RYAN

The Ex-Boyfriend

"Three words: Go. Fuck. Yourself."

Full Name: Ryan Jeremiah Richards
Nickname: none
Age & DOB: 27 & August 16th
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight

Appearance: Ryan is a well built man of mostly muscle. He has a strong jaw and usually sports the mixture of a smirk and scowl on his face. He is a little over six feet and weighs 174 lbs. His hair is ash brown and usually more tussled than brushed. He shaves just enough to not look like a cave man but not enough to be put in the 'well groomed' category. His go to fashion is army jackets, jeans, old t-shirts and work boots.
Personality:
Surly
Ryan would never start up a conversation with you if he didn't have to. He's not chatty and he's certainly not friend material unless you go out of your way to insert yourself into his life and make him start to like you a little bit like that bitch Laura.
Hot Headed
The reason why he went to jail (twice) was because he was always too quick to snap, and though he is working on maintaining his temper now, it still has a tendency to flare up. The smallest inconveniences set him off and if you bug him enough and his control techniques don't work, you might want to pre dial 911.
Honest
He may be an ex-con but Ryan has never been anything but honest. He tells you what you want to know even if you may not want to hear it. He doesn't like making excuses and he doesn't beat around the bush.
Courageous
Ryan doesn't back down or give in to intimidation. Even if things do scare him shitless, he's too prideful to turn his back.
Creative
Hey just cause he's an ex-con doesn't mean he can't have a flair for imagination. If you saw his apartment, you'd wonder if you were in the right place. Ryan likes to add little things to his stuff to make them unique and he's constantly thinking up new ways to make his apartment colorful.
Conscientious
Ever since hooking up with Laura, Ryan has been trying his hardest to live on the straight and narrow. Or at least the straight-ish. He's been limiting his drinking, counting to ten when he gets pissed and he still hasn't gotten rid of that damn dog even though it's ugly and annoying as all fuck.
Occupation: Construction Worker

History:
Ryan was born in a trailer park to a mom who was too busy finding a job after getting fired and a dad who had a second family and was busy trying to find a new secretary. Most of his childhood was unsupervised and he often got in trouble with the group of kids that he hung out with. School wasn't his forte and he skipped a lot and often had to do extra curricular activities in order to not get held back. In high school he was accidentally placed in a cooking class that he excelled in and when graduating rolled around he went to community college to major in culinary arts, while also working part time as a prep cook at a local restaurant. His college and vocational career was cut short after he assaulted his boss and was sent to jail. After that his life was basically him getting in and out of jail until he finally met Laura Miller and she turned his life around. They were with each other for almost a year before she broke up with him for being a 'loser'.
Family:
Gavin Melrose- Father - 65 - Unknown
Molly Richards - Mother - 47 - Alive

Secrets:
Five months ago, Ryan had planned to propose to Laura. He still has the ring and stares at it every night.
He's in more than 80k dollars of debt as he took out a loan to pay the deposit on the apartment, bought a purebred Pomeranian and a new jeep along with other things.
He actually loves his dog and his stomach hurts when he thinks about getting rid of it.
Laura was his first girlfriend.


In Character
Do you have any criminal history? "Yeah. I did a six year stretch in the lockup. Arson, embezzlement and a little assault. So what? I'm straight now. Laura made sure of that. Not that it mattered in the end..."
Have you ever been late on rent? "Who hasn't?"
Have you ever been complained about? "Yeah, but once fuckers figure out about the time I did they start bitching about any little thing. Most complaints are about my dog though, the little shit never stops fucking yapping, just like it's namesake."
Do you have good credit? "Are you really asking me this question? Obviously my credit is shit. Bills don't get paid while you're locked up. I'm trying to pay off my debs though."
What did you think of Laura Miller? "Laura was the one. Well at least I thought she was. Honestly half the time we were together we were arguing and she could be a real vicious bitch when she was upset. But when we weren't fighting, things were great and she made me feel like I could change my life and fix all my issues and just...Start over. But then she broke up with me because I didn't fit her fucking vision of the 'future' or whatever the fuck. "
What's your theme song? "I don't have one, cause I'm not a damn teenage girl. I do like Friction by Imagine Dragons though..."
What's your favorite food? "Tacos, but not that Taco Bell junk. Real street truck tacos."
How many jobs have you had? "Four not including the ones I had before turning eighteen. I started out as a prep cook, then I got arrested for breaking some plates....Across my boss's face. After I got out of jail, my uncle hired me as a mechanic but fired and fucking snitched on me to the cops for borrowing less than three hundred bucks--stingy bitch. After I got out of jail for that I went back and set the fucker's garage on fire and obviously got arrested again. When I finally got out again, I met Laura and she changed my life. She got me a job in the mail room at her job but I got tired of being treated like I didn't fucking exist so I quit. Laura got pissed at me for making her look bad and we broke up. I tried to win her back but she told me that she couldn't date a jobless loser again, so I got a job as a construction worker but that still wasn't enough for her..."
Have you ever been married? "No...But five months ago I was...You know what? Fuck you, this is none of your business."
Do you have any pets? "Not by choice. When we were together, Laura begged me to get her a fucking rat dog and I did but she got bored of it three weeks later and instead of ditching it I just kept it. She named it Cutie but I renamed it Laura cause she's a bitch."[/div]

They were with each other for almost a year before she broke up with him for being a 'loser'.
Family:
Gavin Melrose- Father - 65 - Unknown
Molly Richards - Mother - 47 - Alive

Secrets:
Five months ago, Ryan had planned to propose to Laura. He still has the ring and stares at it every night.
He's in more than 80k dollars of debt as he took out a loan to pay the deposit on the apartment, bought a purebred Pomeranian and a new jeep along with other things.
He actually loves his dog and his stomach hurts when he thinks about getting rid of it.
Laura was his first girlfriend.


In Character
Do you have any criminal history? "Yeah. I did a six year stretch in the lockup. Arson, embezzlement and a little assault. So what? I'm straight now. Laura made sure of that. Not that it mattered in the end..."
Have you ever been late on rent? "Who hasn't?"
Have you ever been complained about? "Yeah, but once fuckers figure out about the time I did they start bitching about any little thing. Most complaints are about my dog though, the little shit never stops fucking yapping, just like it's namesake."
Do you have good credit? "Are you really asking me this question? Obviously my credit is shit. Bills don't get paid while you're locked up. I'm trying to pay off my debs though."
What did you think of Laura Miller? "Laura was the one. Well at least I thought she was. Honestly half the time we were together we were arguing and she could be a real vicious bitch when she was upset. But when we weren't fighting, things were great and she made me feel like I could change my life and fix all my issues and just...Start over. But then she broke up with me because I didn't fit her fucking vision of the 'future' or whatever the fuck. "
What's your theme song? "I don't have one, cause I'm not a damn teenage girl. I do like Friction by Imagine Dragons though..."
What's your favorite food? "Tacos, but not that Taco Bell junk. Real street truck tacos."
How many jobs have you had? "Four not including the ones I had before turning eighteen. I started out as a prep cook, then I got arrested for breaking some plates....Across my boss's face. After I got out of jail, my uncle hired me as a mechanic but fired and fucking snitched on me to the cops for borrowing less than three hundred bucks--stingy bitch. After I got out of jail for that I went back and set the fucker's garage on fire and obviously got arrested again. When I finally got out again, I met Laura and she changed my life. She got me a job in the mail room at her job but I got tired of being treated like I didn't fucking exist so I quit. Laura got pissed at me for making her look bad and we broke up. I tried to win her back but she told me that she couldn't date a jobless loser again, so I got a job as a construction worker but that still wasn't enough for her..."
Have you ever been married? "No...But five months ago I was...You know what? Fuck you, this is none of your business."
Do you have any pets? "Not by choice. When we were together, Laura begged me to get her a fucking rat dog and I did but she got bored of it three weeks later and instead of ditching it I just kept it. She named it Cutie but I renamed it Laura cause she's a bitch."

Jasper Sinclair

"Dead's dead. Why's it my problem?"

Tenant Edition
✵​

Full Name: Jasper Edward Sinclair
Nickname(s): Jas or just Jasper
Age & DOB: 25, January 17th
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Appearance:
Standing at 6'0", Jasper is tall and reedy. He's fit enough, what with how he runs most every morning - even when the weather is trash - but you could hardly tell from looking at him. His hair is short, its color a dark brown with a soft and wavy texture. His eyes are a soft brown, tinged with green around the edge, always curious but difficult to really read. His gestures and tells are as animated as he is but have this purposeful quality to them like they're all intentional. Given that he's only been in the States for a year or so, his Scouse accent is still quite apparent in his speech.
Refs: One ✵ Two
Personality:
On the positive side, Jasper is an obviously driven individual. He has goals, he has plans, he's flexible enough to roll with the punches life may throw his way, and he's far too stubborn to give up easily. He says he's going somewhere. It's difficult for one to doubt that fact, given the weight he puts on those simple words. It helps that he's a fairly well-balanced individual, extroverted but not flamboyantly so and optimistic without being annoying. He's talkative, sure, but he's animated and entertaining enough that people usually don't mind listening. Politeness is another trait people tend to attach to him, which certainly isn't a bad thing, though he's plenty blunt when it comes to expressing his opinions.

On the negative side, he does terribly when working with other people. His single-minded pursuit of his goals or completion of a project or succeeding at a thing isn't a trait that allows much room for others. That's helped exactly none by how strongly independent and borderline controlling he can be, vastly preferring to do all the work on his own to ensure it's done to his high standards, rather than teaching someone else the right ways to accomplish a task. That isn't mentioning his ego; he's not outright cocky and he's not even that competitive, but he tends to have a superior and somewhat bossy attitude when dealing with subjects he's comfortable with. He's also uncooperative at the best of times.
Keywords: Independent, Expressive, Disciplined, Talkative, Single-Minded, Bossy
Occupation: Computer programmer

History:
Jasper was born and raised in Liverpool, in the United Kingdom, the son of a hardware engineer and an accountant. Computers have been in his life since he was little and he grew up with a deep appreciation for them. He holds a Masters in computer science, specifically computer programming, and he's all too happy to chat about it. Ask him about coding or circuits, prepare yourself for a far too long explanation of whatever you asked and related subjects. And remotely related subjects. Maybe some random bits about dinosaurs or something, too. He works as a systems programmer for some corporation based in Seattle during the day, but he usually doesn't get back to his apartment until later in the evening.
Family:
Roman Orlov - Father - 59 - Alive, resides in Liverpool
Amelia Sinclair - Mother - 58 - Alive, resides in Liverpool
Secrets:
✵ Doesn't like tea.
✵ Unreasonably afraid of moths.
✵ Also unreasonably afraid of emotional commitment.
✵ Descends from a line of world-class thieves and is gaining a taste for the family business himself.

In Character
Do you have any criminal history?
"Er, no. Well, two or three fines. I paid 'em."

Have you ever been late on rent?
"No way! I like to keep my place of residence paid up, thank you."

Have you ever been complained about?
"Some noise complaint when I first moved in, but I try to keep my music down, now."

Do you have good credit?
"Yea, of course."

What do/did you think of Laura Miller?
"Frankly? She was a bitch. Hate to talk bad about my neighbors, but...well. I hate nosey people, right, geggin' in and pokin' at secrets they've no business pokin' at. Laura was a real nosey woman. Askin' all these questions about my pets and my family...I bet she tried to read my mail from my mum, too."

What's your theme song?
"One of my favorite songs is 'We Don't Care' by the Audio Bullys, think that'll do? I like the beat."

What's your favorite food?
"I mean, you can't beat Thai food."

How many jobs have you had?
"Built computers for my friends in secondary school, earned some pounds with that. The only work I've had since I graduated university is programmin', though, for the company that paid me some crazy money to move to the United States. Gave 'em some suggestions on their firewalls, snapped me up as soon as I graduated. Must've made a good impression."

Have you ever been married?
"Nope. Not plannin' on it, either."

Do you have any pets?
"A ball python named Lola. She's gorgeous with people, but I'd appreciate if you didn't tell my neighbors about her."​
