It would be a humbling process."[/center] [hr] [b]Age: ???[/b] [b]Gender: Male[/b] [b]Species: Ethereal[/b] - Ethereals are otherworldly beings that feed on abstract concepts such as emotions and aspirations. They are usually invisible to the human eye, but they sometimes choose to incorporate themselves onto the material plane through an "avatar". When they are not present within the material plane, their true forms are incomprehensible and have utmost power, but they are unable to interact with material things. In order to feed, they must make usage of their "avatars". Doing so makes them vulnerable to injury, and thus, death. They are often associated with an element that mirrors their personalities and abilities. Ethereals may either be bounded by animalistic instincts and have low intelligence, or they may be so intelligent that they think in a way entirely unfathomable to human beings. Nico feeds by "absorbing" the memories of others. He is associated with Ice as an element. [hr] [b]Powers[/b] [list] [*][b]Memory Absorption[/b] - Nico runs through the memories of an intended target. The target must have a sentience of its own, and it must have a method of storing its memories and experiences. Upon establishing physical contact with the target, Nico will begin filing through the memories of the target. Nico only needs to maintain contact with the target for a brief moment of time in order to initiate this. Afterwards, he will be able to maintain his conscience for a couple of seconds before sinking into a state of "hibernation". During this period, Nico will begin experiencing the target's memories from past to present. The hibernation period usually ranges from minutes to entire hours, depending on the absorbee's life. Age is an important factor, but the absorbee's adherence to a repetitive schedule and the "eventfulness" of his/her/it's life are also taken into account. It might take longer for Alex to process Indiana Jones' memories than those of an 80-year old lumberjack with an ever-as-repetitive lifestyle. When the target's memories get absorbed, he/she/it is not bound to lose them. However, the target will begin having flashbacks. He/she/it will begin re-experiencing his/her memories. Unfortunately for the target, the memories experienced often tend to be painful and heartbreaking. The entire experience is an illusion, but it is highly realistic. The target might try to interact with objects in the environment during the illusion, but other people will simply see the target act without affecting anything. The experience is brief - usually only lasting from 1 to 3 minutes. [*][b]Cryokinesis[/b] - Nico is associated with Ice as an element, and he can conjure and shape it to his will. A remarkable characteristic of his ice is that it maintains a glass-like texture. If one is to stare into an icicle created through Nico's power for long enough, he/she/it will see his/her/its reflection. Since Nico is used to working with ice, his body is rather tolerant towards the cold. [list] [*][b]Inheritance[/b] - When a person undergoes memory absorption, there is a chance that he/she will "inherit" Nico's cryokinetic power. The chance is higher for people who are more mundane and have less access to supernatural power. [/list] [*]He can transform from child to ethereal and vice-versa, but he can't do this during hibernation period. [*]He's cute [/list] [hr] [b]Appearance:[/b] Nico's avatar resembles that of a small child. The picture above represents most of his physical characteristics, except for the fact that his hair is colored a shade of dark olive. He wears small baggy jeans and white sneakers along with the blue sweater. [b]Crush:[/b] None [b]Relationships:[/b] None [b]Personality:[/b] [list] [*]Meek [*]Inconspicuous [*]Kind [*]Contemplative [*]Slightly Childish [*][i]m y s t e r i o u s[/i] [/list] [b]Likes and Dislikes[/b] + Kind People + Stuffed Toys + Sweets + His outfit - none so far [hr] [h3][i]Story[/i][/h3] The origin of Ethereals are not exactly clear to the general populace. Some believe that they had existed ever since the universe, or probably the entire multiverse, was created. Others think that they originate from the souls of the dead. Exorcists have theorized that Ethereals are randomly born from the accumulation of emotions and beliefs, as it is very common for them to prey upon the emotions of others. It is also thought that somebody with a very strong imagination may create an Ethereal him/herself. With that said, Nico's exact origins are unknown.
