Name: Nicholas Marinho

Species: Human

Gender: Male

Class (can be a classic ME class or something new): N7 Paladin

Special Talent: He has the special prowess of using his omni-shield similar to a blade. The sides of the shield forms into a uniform blade that surrounds the shield. This way he can use it for both defense and offense. He is the only known Paladin with this specific omni-shield. At least for now.

Personality: He is a very introverted individual, preferring to keep most of himself a secret to other people. From the outisde he might seem cold but inside he is a good, fun and exquisite. He believes n a greater good and a law in the cosmos that is unbreakable. He is not very open-minded however. When in command over a unite of soldiers, he expect them to follow his orders no mattet the consequences, just as he does when he is the one obeying a superior. He doesn't fear death, however he will not risk his life for someone he doens't trust, like or love. He was once idealistic, but during this war, he is bit by bit becoming a pessimist and a realistic. Things such as the ruthless calculus of wars, diminishing people into numbers, sacrificing the few for the many in order to avoid extinction... He didin't believed in any of it, but now he's not so sure. He is in conflict with his ideals and the reality around him. But when a superior orders him to do something, he doesn't question. He was born in Brazil, in a small city in the interior.

Appearance: He has black hair and light brown eyes. He wears a complete N7 set of armor painted in gold, with it's pattern painted blue. He doesn't like helmets, as he feels it ruins his spatial awareness, and as such he most of the time wears visors or nothing on his head.

Equipment: He prefers assault rifles due to their reliability and ease of use. But his favorite one is the N7 Valkiyrie. A rifle featuring a two-shot mode, as strong as a sniper rifle, as fast as a vindicator and usable in any situation and condition. He also have an N7 Eagle that he uses for close quarters combat instead of the Valkyrie, due to it's automatic property.

Allegiance: Human Alliance and Citadel forces.

Likes: Beach, surfing, his armor and weapons, commanding, computers and video-games, honest people and fearless soldiers, Anna.

Dislikes: Cowards, cold, cerberus, Reapers, most sports but specifically football and soccer, games of chance, squid.

Love interest (or opinion of love): Anna, his girlfriend. Allied forces managed to evacuate her during the beggining of the invasion, and she is on the Citadel for the moment.
