[b]Age[/b]: 33 (06/22/79)

[b]Appearance[/b]: [hider=Nickolas][img]http://www.homorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/arthur-kulkov.jpg[/img][/hider]
 Nickolas stands at five foot nine, with short brown hair and grey eyes. He has a bit of stubble, and permanent bags under his eyes.  He is of slender build, with some signs of being a little malnourished at some point in his life. He does have muscles from his years of hard labor.

[b]Power/ Talent[/b]: Nickolas can ‘talk’ to machines and ask favors of them. They usually respond in kind and do those favors. Due to this, he has used his powers in desperation for some rather unorthodox means. However, he prefers not to use his powers unless needed. 

[b]Biography[/b]: Nickolas was the third son born to his parents, in rural Russia. His parents were farmers, with no means to provide for the young son they had never planned for. So, they gave him up for adoption. However, this resulted in young Nickolas spending quite a few years in the orphanage, since the 80’s were not good times in Mother Russia. 

Nickolas eventually ran away from the orphanage at age twelve. He lived on the streets, begging for money and food. Eventually he was found by the police and tossed back in the orphanage where he stayed till he was sixteen and aged out of the orphanage system. The Russia he aged out to was different than the one he was raised in. In the last five years, a lot had changed. The Soviet Union was no more, and Russia was changed.

He bounced around from job to job, doing a lot of hard labor with machines throughout most of his adult life. He never seemed to really settle anywhere, partly due to never feeling like he belonged anywhere. However, he always stayed in his home country, up until a point.

Things changed for Nickolas when he ‘awoke’ to his powers along with most of the rest of the psychics. He found he could talk to the machines he was working on, and get them to help him with his work. However, he was chased out of that job once it was found out he was ‘talking’ to the machines. Psychic’s tended to be feared in the early days, and this caused Nickolas no end of trouble. 

He eventually decided to leave his home country, moving to the United States, where he hoped to find some sort of permanent work. So far, nothing. He does hope to find something soon.

[b]Hobbies[/b]: Nickolas does not have much in the way of hobbies. He does enjoy having just pleasant conversations with machines. One ‘hobby’ he has is running, but for reasons.

[b]Personality[/b]: Nickolas tends to be rather shy and quiet. He is use to blending into crowds easily. He is a bit flighty and twitchy. All he really wants is one place to really call home. 

[b]Role in Sector X[/b]: N/A [Will be most likely in the Technopath department when he joins.]

[b]Additional Info[/b]: Speaks very broken English. Keeps all his belongings in one bag.
