He stands at around 5'8''. Years of work-outs and many encounters with near-death experiences have honed his instincts and body. He has that tense sort of slouch one adopts after years of acting on the “fight” side of the “fight or flight” instinct.

He speaks and laughs freely, and is known to be brutally honest and ever-enduring. He does not complain, or whine, or wish for a better life and chooses to look at the present. Although he is sweet and goodnatured, take care to not get on his bad side! On the note of relationships, Nicolas does not form attachments easily. To those who manage to worm their way inside his heart, expect lots of shy love. [color=#F2D480][b]History:[/b][/color] Nicolas Blanc was born in New York City. An only child, he spent many of his early years as an outcast among his fellow peers. This was because young Nicolas was taking care of his bedridden mother. His father, an ambassador who was an unfaithful husband, was never home. Because of this, his upbringing was largely focused around his mother. Despite his continued attempts to care for his mother, the poor woman's health and mental health slowly deteriorated. To any other person, his mother's death was not his fault. However, in his mind, Nicolas blamed himself for not being able to meet her 'expectations'. [i]"If only I played the violin better, or got all As this quarter, or..."[/i] A mere one day after the funeral, the young boy started taking up the hobbies of his dead mother, which included gardening and butterfly farming. Unfortunately, his seemingly 'normal' life ended when he was eight years old. That was when all hell broke loose, literally. Possibly the youngest person to ever learn the Blood Arts, he kept his powers hidden until Libra was formed. [color=#F2D480][b]Powers:[/b][/color] Blood Wire: Nicolas slashes the palms of his hands to create his weapon - a strand of blood that can extend and deliver immense quick blows or restrain an opponent. Multiple strands can diverge from the main one. [color=#F2D480][b]Weapons:[/b][/color] His fists and his metal fan. [color=#F2D480][b]Habits/Quirks:[/b][/color] - Too focused on other people. - He's rather tolerant of unsavory characters. Anyways, Nic is a good friend. - Has a crazy high pain-tolerance. - Writes in messy cursive because he hates writing. [color=#F2D480][b]Talents/Hobbies:[/b][/color] - Butterfly farmer - Gardening [color=#F2D480][b]Fears:[/b][/color] - Failure [color=#F2D480][b]Likes and Dislikes:[/b][/color] Likes: - Gardening - Butterflies - Tea Dislikes: - Cooking (He's terrible at cooking. Can't even fry an egg properly!) [/hider]
