If people were asked to describe the infamous Nikolai Roman they'd often simply say 'Gypsy Trash' based off the way he carries himself like his Romani heritage. He's most noted for his small stature that aids in the rumors of him being part elf which originated from a family folklore of how his ancestor once fell for an elf along with his piercing green eyes that catch every detail others overlook. Though the thing he's most proud of would be his hair that he's been growing out to reach past his chin. He recently went with a long undercut and is seen typically tying his greasy locks back in ponytail fashion and sometimes shaving the sides with fun designs.

Nikolai could be most noted for his flamboyant sense of dress that involves eye makeup and colored nails with as many accessories as he's allowed to wear. He wears three rings on his left finger. A ring on his middle finger that was given to him by his mother and may have been stolen, his house ring, and a ring on his pinky along with the two rings on his left hand he uses for his 'wandless' magic. He also is adorned in various occult tattoos that he adores to complete his 'gypsy' appearance.

Nikolai is... Unique to say the least. He was never really one to make a lot of friends due to always moving around with his mother for their various cons and typical nomadic lifestyle. He was often alone with his mother making him independent. He knew how to fend for himself and use his skills his mother taught him like stealing and using observations to trick people. This became especially helpful when he was taken away form his mother and thrown into the servus class. Nikolai had to rely on himself and his skill set even further become a thief and a con artist just to get by. Unfortunately, old habits die hard and Nikolai still manages to steal even at school and often attempt to trick other students with his flamboyant tricks and false promises.

Nikolai is very much eccentric and flamboyant in everything he does. He has a habit of talking with his hands and making everything seem like a highly dramatic show since he tells every story like a play reenactment. He's very much theatrical in nature from the way he grew up and had to survive but it can be rather interesting watching him go off with his enticing stories that may be highly fabricated. He also carries himself in an arrogant manner that sometimes can rub people the wrong way. He's highly confident in himself and his appearance and quite frankly has stopped caring what others think about him. All that matters is he's amazing and the best shag in all of Remington.

Nikolai is very much out there but there is a certain charm about him that can make him somewhat enjoyable to be around. His confidence is a bit toxic and his ability to flirt with anything that moves is a bit annoying quite frankly but there's just something different about him. He's able to notice small details others often overlook and can come up with an entire story solely based on the contents of his room but his truly remarkable quality would be his bravery though it's often mostly stubbornness. Nikolai can't back down from a fight even if he knows he's going to lose. He's the kind of guy who's going to give his very all until the end even if it means his demise.

Nikolai has never lived his life in one place. He's always been on the move with only his mother going from town to town using their 'psychic abilities' for money along with Nikolai often being sent off to cheat and steal just so they could get by. His father was never really in the picture as he abandoned his mother before he was born but Nikolai never cared. He adored his mother and saw her as his best friend. She would tell him stories every night about their once magical family of seers and the legend of how his ancestor fell for an elf and the reason for their once magical abilities. Nikolai never saw any truth behind these tails as they traveled around coning people with their ability to foretell the future and speak to the spirits along with magical elixirs that truly did nothing for the user.

That was until the day his powers came. Nikolai was young when he began getting visions in his sleep and unexplained things began to happen around him. He tried to hide he ended up using his new found power to his advantage as he traveled with his mother until the day they eventually got caught and he was ripped away from her. Nikolai was far too young to go to Azkaban so instead he was sold into slavery until the day he ran and away and lived on his own. this went on for sometime until he was eventually rescued at 15 by Remington Academy and is now being protected by them until the day he graduates and is all alone once again. Nikolai has nothing waiting for him when he leaves and he quite honestly scared.

Quite honestly, Nikolai would prefer to worry about himself than choose a side. Of course he dreams of a society where he isn't thrown around and forced to live on his own but at the same time it wouldn't entirely matter if thing could change. If Nikolai had to choose, he'd choose the side he knew was going to win.

Nikolai seems to have multiple fury creatures that he's taken in as his pets. There's his favorite of the bunch, Alastor, his loyal Pixie Bob that he rescued off the streets. He has a strong mental connection with his cat from using shamanism though Alastor is the mind he rarely chooses to intrude since Nikolai has the most respect for him. His other pets would include Thunder the black mink and Lightning the albino ferret. Thunder and Lightning spend most of their time with Nikolai and often follow him from class to class in his bag clouding his mind with their constant banter.

Then there's his owl Goliath the Northern saw-whet owl. Goliath is only a mere 6 inches and is usually seen running around his room and sometimes jumping on the shoulders of different students when he escapes Nikolai's room. His final pet would be Destiny the snake that's probably his favorite and named after his mother.

Nikolai is most known fir his two magcal rings that he uses to perform wandless magic. He keeps one on his thumb and one on his index finger on his right hand and is never seen without them. He also keeps a special necklace around his neck at all times. It's one of the few things he has left of his mother and he claims it heightens his inner eye but that's false. There's no magic stored in it he simply just likes the constant reminder of when his mother would where it around her neck.

Nikolai is also know for carrying various objects for divination but he's most known for his pocket watch that he says can be used to tell someones future even though he makes up the predictions. Nikolai mainly uses it as an anchor whenever he's practicing astral projection.
