"Behave, darling."

0 · 97 views · located in Maine

a character in “The Collector's Collection”, originally authored by Amaranta, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Image


Name: Nikolas ‘Niko’ Schwarz – to his victims and to the authorities, he goes by 'Midas'.
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Role: The Collector; in real life he is the son of the man who owns the majority of all banks in Switzerland, having inherited the business when his father passed away from old age last summer. Nikolas is filthy rich, in other words, and like his father before him, has given much funding to the FBI - he is practically untouchable.
Special Talent: Collecting – a surprise, no? Also, manipulation – after all, with what he does, he has to be a master at it.
Location: A spacious mansion in one of Maine's many forests - he does so much value his privacy.
Orientation: Straight – though could be considered asexual.
Status: Single

Nikolas is six feet and four inches tall and weighs at two hundred pounds of muscle, organ, and bone. Physically, he is very fit. Getting punched in the face (or slapped) by this man would be akin to getting hit by a brick.

He is fair-skinned, with only a light tan to speak of and walks with a prowling stroll - his movements would remind you of a feline.

Behind his mask the only thing that is visible to his trophies are his grey-green eyes. His voice is distorted by the mask and comes out in a rasping growl as a result. His hair is dirty-blond in color and is usually worn stylishly.

Never will one see this man in anything but an ironed and exquisitely tailored designer suit. The color of the suit varies between assorted shades of black, navy blue, and dark grey. Nikolas prides himself on looking presentable.

Personality

He is very charming and somewhat vain, and is well aware of his charismatic appeal, especially to females. His vocabulary is exacting; he rarely misuses a word or speaks in a manner that implies anything other than exactly what he means. Nikolas always knows what to say to men and women. Every person might as well be a lock, with words and gestures coming together to form the key. With women, he uses it to get into their beds and dreams. With men, he uses it to gain information and entry regarding business opportunities he can exploit.

How does he do it? – you may ask. Well, that’s simple. For one, he’s a sociopath. For another, he has an IQ of 174.

Really, he’s used to getting his way with words, whether it’s to earn favor from a local businessman, or just to get someone to buy him a drink at the bar. He’s all manners, all pomp and circumstance and deep flattery. And it works. More so, it hides the underlying danger of what and who he is. He will charm his way into your life and heart, then take complete advantage of you - your emotions, your finances, your intellect. He will make you think you are the crazy one. Your friends will consider him a great guy. He will isolate you from your friends and possibly your family. Nikolas, although he appears the perfect gentleman, is not the sort of man whom one should blindly trust. And yet, the allure and the chivalry are oh so sweet.

He will attract you with his charm and bring you to his side, and then he will toy with you, lie and show no remorse. Sometimes there will be a fake smile in his face while he engages in his malicious ways. When confronted, he will deny any responsibility, then back away from you and blame you for whatever wrong he did. What is worse, everybody will believe him because he is able to gain sympathy in a cunning and calculating way.

Nikolas possesses the ability to manipulate each situation to where nothing is his fault. He is quick to give praise to someone, but uses that as another way to draw them further under his control. He truly has no capacity to believe that anything he has ever done is wrong - even when caught in a bold faced lie.

•Glibness and Superficial Charm

•Manipulative and Conniving - he never recognizes the rights of others and sees his self-serving behaviors as permissible. He appears to be charming, yet is covertly hostile and domineering, seeing his victims as merely instruments to be used. He enjoys dominating and humiliating his victims.

•Grandiose Sense of Self - he feels entitled to certain things as "his right."

•Pathological Lying - he has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for him to be truthful on a consistent basis. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

•Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt - a deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at his core. Does not see others around him as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, he has victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and he lets nothing stand in his way.

•Shallow Emotions - when he shows what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. He is outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since he is not genuine, neither are his promises.

•Incapacity for Love

•Callousness/Lack of Empathy - unable to empathize with the pain of his victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily takes advantage of them.

•Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature - rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. He believes he is all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for his impact on others.

•Irresponsibility/Unreliability - not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation he causes. Does not accept blame himself, but blames others, even for acts he obviously committed.

---

History

As for his childhood, there isn't much to tell about it. The Schwarz family was always known as quiet, respectful and well-mannered individuals. There was never any sign of sociopathic type behavior, mental illness, and he was certainly never abused to mold him into a sociopath - he was merely born that way. He never spent his tender years in the company of thieves and murderers, and he kept a steady average of A+’s in private boarding school. Nikolas turned out to be much like his father; he always made a fantastic impression on people. Nothing about the Schwarz family was inherently disturbed, violent, or dishonest in the least. In fact, he was never even hit as a child. Instead, his parents would simply talk to him and preach, and he would listen. They were law-abiding, displaying no intent or inclination for a life of crime, or much of anything else for that matter.

But Nikolas had always been less than normal - inwardly, at least. Outwardly, the perfect child. Inwardly...a monster.

He has recently inherited his father's Swiss banking empire after the man passed away from old age and left every penny to his son.

He keeps his collection in an underground dungeon. Each room is akin to a high-security vault with a heavy door that can only be opened by a series of special codes and passwords which Nikolas has changed every week – and the password to each of the vaults is always different. His house has security comparable to a Swiss bank - he does, after all, own the majority of them.
