Nicky Morana

Nicky Morana,

You can kick it back, chill OR YOU CAN ROCK HARD

Nicky enjoys a good time, but when the time comes to work he has no qualms in doing that.  He might complain sometimes, but he really does go by 'moderation in everything'.  He's quite practiced in that too.  He's a kind soul overall, but if someone does something he dislikes, his temper can flare and he becomes a force to be reckoned with.  He also knows how to make himself seem more daunting, a skill he learned from cross-dressing, interestingly enough.  On that topic, he also particularly likes jobs where he can take guys down a couple pegs if they're being rude.  He may not be the strongest physically, but his agility, reflexes and stealth make up for it.  He's quite adept at dodging.  If he's not focused though, he can be distracted from his goal.  He focuses best in serious situations.  Otherwise he can sometimes be given to whimsical ideas.  Nicky's learned that that trait is a part of him also though, as it's the reason it ever occurred to him to go into the music world he so loves.  Despite his rich upbringing, he abhors people who can't be thankful for what they've been given.  It can make him almost instantly dislike someone if that's the case with them.  His mood won't necessarily get better until he drinks something, sings, or bakes.

Nicky has an athletic build, but not in a guyish way.  He He's androgynous looking, and gets mistaken as a girl a fair bit.  For a guy he has a facial structure that some might call delicate, with cheekbones that are likely higher than average.  That doesn't mean he is, though.  He has a physique more like a professional dancer than someone involved in combat techniques, and he works carefully to maintain that.  He has long dark red hair that reaches to the middle of his back.  His green eyes resemble a deep tropical sea, and yet evoke a jungle feeling as well.  All of which he could see with his 20/20 vision.  Those are paired with a pleasant, white smile that sometimes quirks into a smirk.  

Nicky has skin that borders between fair and olive.  He doesn't burn easily, a fact which he's quite proud of as it allows him to keep his complexion 'just right' in his opinion.  He's 5 foot eight inches and all attitude.  He has a green tattoo on his left eye that appears like two claw shapes.  Or hooks.  They're like a cross between the two with a couple dots mixed in for good measure.

He can walk delicately if he's trying to make people think he's a girl.  However there's always still just a bit of swagger in his step regardless.  He's confident enough to believe he looks damn good.


On stage, Nicky wears everything from long robes to leather jackets and slacks.  And as unlikely as it may seem, he wears a lot of the same things while he's offstage.  Plus, you know, hoodies, jeans, suits, skirts.  He doesn't put a limit on what he wears because in his opinion one day he might get a great idea to wear something unconventional.  Like he wasn't already unconventional in other ways.

Nicky was born in the year 2569, in July.  No-one had any clue then that the summer's heat would seem to infuse into his personality.  Though he's completely human, he also has a warm sort of persona about him.  As a child, he got most of what his heart desired.  Any toy that was available.  His favourites were usually the ones related to music.  The exception to that was combat related stuff.  His parents started him off in learning how to use weapons in case he had to defend himself.  After all, he came from a rich family in Dagos.  And his parents, while not as racist as they could be, were definitely afraid for their little boy with the magi around.  Nicky never saw the problem really.  Something else they noticed eventually was that Nicky kept stealing some of his sister's clothes.  Emma always thought that particular trait was odd, and his family tried to keep him from doing it.  

It's difficult to stop a fully grown person from doing things their heart's set on though.  At age eighteen, Nicky set out with some friends he'd made through his combat teacher.  They all had music in their blood and formed a band.  Soundbites slowly became more popular and started getting more gigs.  The band combined music with their weaponry skills.  In their minds, combat was much like a dance.  An art.  So on stage, they mix their music with a taste of their skills.  Only a taste that's not going to hurt anyone mind you.  Offstage, they're their own bodyguards basically.  They started out small, just playing small clubs.  They're slowly working their way up.  They still get invited to rich shindigs, but that isn't so much the band's pull as Nicky's own.  His family was fairly wealthy.  He doesn't agree with their stance on a lot of things, but he takes advantage of their pride and need for music at their dinners to further his own agenda.  

Speaking of different stances, Nicky honestly isn't sure what to think of magi.  He hasn't met one after all.  He works his own magic, studying at the Runic University and has since he was eighteen.  The way he figures is that he reserves judgment of them.  He's also heard some of them have the skill of looking like different genders.  That's partly what has made Nicky reserve judgment.  That skill doesn't seem so different from himself, in his opinion.  That said, he still grew up in a racist home.  He likely wouldn't know quite what to make of a magi if he met one.  Hard to say how he'd react.  The fact he enjoys learning would probably lead him to be more curious than anything though.
