|Fashion Sense|
Work Outfit || Nicholas likes the HUB to have at least a halfway decent reputation around town, and to do that he needs to dress the part. He more often than not wears a button-down shirt, with a matching tie, and neutral colored button-up vest on his torso. If he's feeling comfortable he'll wear jeans, since customers don't see the bottom half of him most of the time anyways, but if word is Naomi's coming 'round, he'll slip into a pair of dress pants.
Everyday Tendencies || He usually shoots in the ballpark of rustic, and modern clothing. Not really liking the idea of keeping something in his closet for more than 5 years or so. Nick tends to lean towards the darker shades in the colors, but alas, during the summer and heated seasons, he resorts to whites and light greys.

|Personality|
☛ Independent ☚
As if being left twice, when marriage was brought up in the relationship wasn't enough proof, Nicholas has worked most of his life on his own. No family now, or none that he's aware of. Besides Timothy of course.
☛ Trustworthy ☚
He stayed true to both the women he had major relationships, not once straying, or even thinking about it. He was even very honorable to his parents when they were living still, and his brother, for that matter. He was the one who talked him into joining the Army.
☛ Gentleman ☚
Just ask the women that dated him. He always came to the door on dates, opened the car door, and showered them with flowers. He paid in full for the dinners, with the exception of a few with Nomi, but only because he lost his wallet during the date. He's never dressed sloppily in front of the female gender, and hardly does generally, and practices his table and social manners often in the HUB.
☛ Parent ☚
Nicholas loves little Timothy with all of his heart. Nearly every night, he makes the time to read his son until his little eyelids can no longer fight the lulling soothe of sleep. Ever since the boy was born, and he held him, he's felt a part of his life fill that void that was left so open from Nomi and Hilary.
☛ Handsome ☚
Nonetheless, how do you think Nicholas came to be heartbroken by multiple women, and acquire a son? It wasn't sure luck, he guarantees it. He takes pride in his lotion, and skin care ointments.

|Happiest Memory|
"I wish I could transport back in time."
Nicholas finding out he was going to be a father is probably the happiest memory a man can have in his lifetime. He remembers holding his son, Timothy, for the first time. It was full of love, as the boy looked to his father for the first time, and Nick can remember Hilary's expression as she was leaving the room about his facial expression towards the baby. It was love at first sight.
|Saddest Memory|
"Of all the things I remember..."
When he left his true love, Naomi, it was devastating. He'd grown up without parents, unless you count his brother, so that wasn't up there. But Naomi's eyes were always so bright, and joyful every time she saw him. He loved the way her hair flowed, and the way her lips creased as she smiled. But then he moved on, and.. here we are.

|History|
It all starts as everyone else's story does. He was born to a mother and father, and they were a happy couple living in Seoul, South Korea. Then, his father took his mother to a much safer country, the United States, as they wanted to settle down and raise a family, much more easily than they could have there. It wasn't hard to leave South Korea behind, and start their new lives as a married couple in the United States. It was only a few years after arriving, did they have Nickolai, named after his mother's grandfather, Nikolai. They were a pleasant family of three, until Nicholas came along.
Nickolai was a well-behaved, shy, quiet boy, while his younger brother was a bouncy, energetic, talkative, aspiring world traveler for a little boy. Only 5 years separating the two, they couldn't be more alike or different. The boys eventually grew into men, and Nickolai vowed to stay home and care for his then sickly parents, their father and mother telling Nicholas to go on. Go on, son, we'll be right here when you return... Son, I can't wait to hear of your traveling tales. We'll be waiting. We love you. Nicholas took their advice excitedly, and set off right away, only making it through the U.S. and Australia, before his brother called for his early return. Nicholas.. Mom and Dad are gone. He remembers still boarding the plane alone, and then getting off in San Francisco, where they lived closer to the city lines than he does now.
It was that fall they buried them, and the brothers sold their childhood home, Nickolai going into the Marines, whilst Nicholas picked up on his travels, but stayed in San Francisco in the end. He ended up staying in the hometown, and opening up a nice little bar known as the HUB, and moved into the apartment close to it, known as 2C in the Red Building. It's quite convenient just walking across the street to work. (Also now known for the best margaritas, you're welcome.) He loves it as his job, as all the foreigners vacationing, or just lots of different people walk through his doors generally, and he counts it as a type of traveling. Until one day, when she walked through his doors with her gangster boyfriend. She was beautiful, and he hated seeing it.
That man... or boy, for lack of self-control, kept harassing the girl all night, and when he got drunk, Nicholas felt his inner good samaritan kick in, and he stepped in-between the two, eventually getting a blow to the jaw. He smiled at the girl, and from there started a year of sensual romance, he'll never forget as long as he lives. She was so talented, but she was much cuter in sweats and a tank than those Madonna-inspired outfits she wore on stage, revealing everything but her bellybutton. Maybe he took it too fast? He doesn't know to this day. But, he proposed, and it's been at least three or so years, and he's single. She rejected him hard, even throwing in the I don't love you, I never did card.
Like any man, he picked himself up and moved on. Not too quickly, as it took him a good 6 months just to get over the fact he was probably never going to see Nomi Hart again. But then, he met Hilary Thompson. She was polite, and courteous, everything he'd thought he had with Nomi, and in a nutshell of brown curls and blue eyes. They were married after a year of serious dating, and she seemed happy. Maybe he just doesn't sense the sadness in women? But, she gave him a son, Timothy Alexander. She was fine for about a month after the boy was born, but then, she packed her bags and left the single father with a crying baby, while she ran away to Hawaii with a Brazilian pilot.
Now, a divorced, heart-broken, single father, Nicholas has lately been hearing tales of Nomi living nearby, but hasn't had a reason to investigate. Besides, what would he say to her? He has a son now. That's a huge game changer and slap in the face. So, he usually just rides out the waves with the almost 1 year old Timothy, the boy 'helping' him around the HUB most days, which consists of gurgling and cooing to attract the customers.[/center]

Ships In The Night
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove whos right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south
Youre down the driveway
Im on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause well be okay, Im not going away
Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway
Were just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart thats not walking away
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close
[Chorus]
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove whos right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night
Im at the airport waitin on the second plane
Had to pack, you had cramps,
And I was late heading to a red carpet
They wont know my name
Riding in silence
All that we wanna say
'Bout to board when you call on the phone
You say Im sorry Ill be waitin at home
Feels like were burning this out on our own
Trying to find our way down a road we dont know
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
Im gonna find my way
Back to your side
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove whos right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south
Youre down the driveway
Im on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause well be okay, Im not going away
Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway
Were just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart thats not walking away
Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close
[Chorus]
Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove whos right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night
Im at the airport waitin on the second plane
Had to pack, you had cramps,
And I was late heading to a red carpet
They wont know my name
Riding in silence
All that we wanna say
'Bout to board when you call on the phone
You say Im sorry Ill be waitin at home
Feels like were burning this out on our own
Trying to find our way down a road we dont know
