Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you"

At First Glance

║ Personality ║

The Positive:

• Ambitious
• Loyal
• Determined

The Negative:

• Stubborn
• Vindictive
• Unintentionally egocentric

What You See:
Nicolas seems outgoing, friendly, and trusting. 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.

What I Know:
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.

Off the Record

║ My Dreams ║

Nicolas is very ambitious. 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.

║ Fears ║

• Failure - to his friends, family, in life...
• His family and what they will think of him

║ Likes ║

• World cultures
• His friends - even the ones he doesn't trust as much: he will still defend them
• The idea of travelling the world - he's had no opportunity to actually do it

║ Dislikes ║

• Ingratitude
• Intolerance and prejudice
• Aggressive westernisation

║ Brief History ║

The Chen family has been around longer than most in Westworth, despite the fact that most families have been around a while. 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.

Academics

║ Sports and extra-curricular activities ║

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.

║ Reputation ║

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.

I haven't been keeping track of the spaces being reserved, but if there any I'm working on a character. Looked complex's last post and I realised my first concept broke basically all those rules, so I'll change it around and post when I'm done.

Shadow of the Colossus: The Razed Village

Interested. Love the concept of SotC, though no actual experience playing it.

To Kill a God

"Yes, I think that would be wise, and if you can fight as well, that's a start. And I understand your concern..." Altwen said, speaking to the other man now, the one sat next to the girl. "...but whether you are correct or not is irrelevant. I have a tendency to surprise people although I admit I do not like my odds. What you do not realise is that I would find an honourable death in battle preferable to remaining trapped here extensively. Of course, escape would be ideal, but realise I do not see such a death as a failure. My name is Altwen, and if you wish, it will be a pleasure to work with you."

Free Pass; Season 1: Beginning of the End

Interested. And no, I'm not talking like an elcor.

If no one gets that reference I will cry.

To Kill a God

@ELGainsborough I didn't want to post anything pointless, and I couldn't come up with much with much point. Nothing's going anywhere and I'm worrying @Tom Lyon may have been assassinated. I could post but it wouldn't involve much besides sitting back down, a contribution to the conversation and possibly more being an introvert.

Only other idea is @Miakardia could drop in something important relating to someone's character (for example perhaps Altwen's half-sister is being kept in the cell opposite, or Captain Mogran pays the party a visit).

To Kill a God

@Miakardia @ELGainsborough
Yeah that sounds reasonable

To Kill a God

After a long pause, Altwen looked at the prisoner now speaking to him. "No, that was the Royal Guard, though I can see you have a similar lack of intelligence. Perhaps that's where the mistake arose. Take my advice or stay out of my way. Maybe you don't think you belong in this room? I don't belong in this entire worthless country, and I plan on leaving it." Altwen said this and got up slowly, watching the older man. "I should warn you, I have surpassed six sins, but I am not above Wrath. Do not rouse it." Altwen walked forwards, aiming to put himself in the middle of the room. His training relied heavily on mobility, and he could not afford to be trapped in a corner if this became a fight.

Altwen looked around, searching for anything he could use. The other half of his training: resourcefulness. He was not trained in any particular weapons, but he knew how to make something into one and use it effectively. So he looked: rectangular room , 8 beds, thin sheets. Small, made for a large group, but with minimal cost in materials and space. 3 stones walls, middle one leads to outside, probably thickest. One barred wall, heavy metal door, slot presumably for food. One small window, tiny, too high to reach, barred. High ceiling, damp floor, both also stone. Not much to work with. The sheets on the bed could be used to blind a target, but not for long, rapid consolidation would be necessary. Damp floor only useful against inexperienced fighters. High ceiling means possible vertical maneuverability, though the walls would be almost impossible to climb. Not much to work with.

To Kill a God

@Tom Lyon Thanks, don't ask me how I missed that. Edited the post, should be sorted out now.
