His hair is dark and slightly long, usually left loose and curly. His eyes are brown and lips thin. He is obviously Asian despite how many generations his family has lived in Westworth, and is handsome by most standards, though not extraordinary.

Exactly the sort of person you'd want to know, even if he seems a little too focuses on tomorrow rather than today. On a few occasions he has done some "immoral" things to get back at people, though more often for his friends than himself. While this would not necessarily be obvious, ask anyone about him and that'd be one of the first things they'd say. He can seem egocentric despite his extroverted outlook, but this is an unintentional side-effect of being a little too ambitious.[/indent] [indent][color=Lime]What I Know:[/color] Nicolas' outlook and charisma have meant he's never been short of "friends", but people he genuinely trusts are rarer and much more valuable to him. This was the cause of his vindictiveness, but he realised quickly that just because he trusts some people more than others does not mean that those he trusts less do not trust him. He has a constant, secret fear of letting people down, and the way he acts is his way of preventing that from ever happening. Around those he trusts most Nicolas seems more relaxed, as if the rest of his life is a stage and he's glad to be done acting, for now at least. Of course for Nicolas, that actually is the case.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]IMG OR GIF[/img][/center] [center]"[color=Lime]Know thyself, know thy enemy.

He wants to succeed as much as possible at school, then travel to England study at Oxford University. He knows they're among the best, and this is exactly what he wants. After that, he's not sure, but he knows he wants to be the best at whatever he ends up doing.[/indent] [color=Lime]║ Fears ║[/color] [indent][list] [*] Failure - to his friends, family, in life...

The Chinese-American family sees itself and is seen as a vital part of the town, and the fact that Nicolas is a direct male-line descendant of Edward Chen, who traveled to America during its initial colonization, does not make his plans to leave any easier. Perhaps it was an omen he was born so close to the turn of the millennium - for generations leaving had never even been considered by the Chens. He grew up with the weight of his desires a constant secret. His parents, Lucas and Jennifer Chen, and his older sister, Alicia Chen, had no ideal, although Alicia's plans were remarkably similar. When he started at the high school he already had a good idea what it'd be like - a combination of his constant secret-keeping and his sister's warnings had made sure he was ready for that. He joined the basketball team in his second year, became captain in his third, but nothing really changed.[/indent] [hr][hr][center][img]IMG OR GIF[/img][/center][hr][hr][center][h3][color=Lime]Academics[/color][/h3][/center] [color=Lime]║ Sports and extra-curricular activities ║[/color] [indent]Sports have never been a big thing for Nicolas, though a combination of natural talent and friends pestering him convinced him to take up basketball. He only takes part in extra-curricular activities that will help him achieve at school and later in life.[/indent] [color=Lime]║ Reputation ║[/color] [indent]Nicolas is best known in school for being an awesome person 99% of the time, then giving whoever's pissed him off hell the other 1%. He is also known for being captain of the basketball team, and outside of school he is known for being the son of Lucas Chen, who is relatively famous on a local level, simply for running one of the only grocery stores in town.[/indent] [color=Lime]║ Best subjects, Worst subjects ║[/color] [indent]Best: Maths, science Worst: Art[/indent] [color=Lime]║ Extra information ║[/color] [indent]Favorite teacher, hobbies, anything really regarding schooling.
