Name: Nicholas Eglamore Wellington
Nicknames: Nick. Nicky. Belzy (by Gunn only)
Age: 26
Birthday: 7 December
Sign: Sagittarius
Gemstone: Tourmaline
Blood Type: AB+
Fav. Food: Salads, of all kinds but especially with ginger dressing; cucumbers; tuna salad wraps. He likes cold foods.
Hated Food: He does not like scallions, nor does he like curry. Nor does he like carrots, and he will pick them out of his salads if he must.
Occupation: Resident at Destiny City University Hospital
Hobbies:
Piano-- Nick is a pianist. He loves the piano, and has since his mother stuck him on lessons when he was eight. Every year, he helped out his school with the musical; he also played in the school orchestra from middle school on up. While he doesn't compose his own works, he likes to download music from the internet that appeals. He has the entire piano score of
Atonement memorized. His favorite music to play is more modern than classical; Mozart and Chopin hold no fascination for him. He'd sooner spend his time trying to figure out how to play Vanessa Carlton songs than practicing Chopsticks.
Yoga-- Well, he used to do tai chi, but it's sort of lost its appeal. He's not sure why. But anyway, he's switched over to yoga because it's something he can do communally and it's really, really relaxing, which is everything he liked about tai chi, but without mysterious and bad connotations. He takes classes on Thursdays at the local YMCA.
Journal-keeping/Scrapbooking-- Nick keeps journals because he's scared of forgetting things. Also because it's a huge habit of his. He slacked off a lot while he was corrupted (which is what he supposes explains all of his long dark spots in the past four years of his life) but now he's picked it back up. Like before, he likes to glue or tape things into his journals so he can have the best possible memory of everything that happens to him.
Virtues:
Considerate-- If something bothers you, Nick drops it. It doesn't matter what it is he's doing or talking about that bothers you, he will stop talking about it or doing it as long as he's around you. He tries his best to help without making it seem like he thinks you're incompetent, thinking quite seriously about how to allow you to save face. Uncomfortable subjects are to be broached in whispers, privately, or not at all. Nick is a pretty empathetic guy, no lie, and his recent experiences with the kindness of others have really reinforced that in him. He knows the lives of others, their experiences and their identities, don't have to be convenient to him... mostly because
his experiences and identity aren't even convenient to him.
Pensive-- Nick thinks about things. He thinks about them a lot. He mulls them over, writes down his thoughts in his journal, takes a break to write in a different journal or play some piano, and then he goes back and thinks about things some more. Eventually, he might even draw a conclusion. Or, if you draw a conclusion first, he will take this conclusion and turn that over a few times in his head too. And once one issue is resolved, he will think about something else. This means that he makes good decisions, usually; he gets all the information, thinks about the pros and cons, and
then he decides. It's not the fastest way to go about things, and can really mess up his short-term decision making, but he usually manages to think up a good solution to most every problem, given enough time.
Humble-- Nick is a great follower. And this is because he knows exactly what he did right and exactly what he did wrong, and he will do his best to repair that for next time. He knows this sort of thing because he is pensive, and tends to review his actions over and over and over. In addition, this means in a team situation he doesn't try to countermand orders; he follows them, helping out with the other members where he can.
Flaws:
Quiet-- and
how. He doesn't talk when he's stressed. He doesn't talk when he's afraid. His thoughts are his own, and sometimes--a lot of the time--okay pretty much all the time--he is lying to you about what he's thinking about. He always has an inoffensive subject in the back of his mind, ready to be deployed on the off chance someone asks him how he's doing. And it's really, really hard to tell when he's considering how bad he is gonna hate himself tomorrow, precisely because he spends so much time being pensive and mulling things over.
Pensive-- As long as he has time, he'll make a good decision. But what about when he doesn't have time? What about when he has to make a lot of decisions in a very short about of time? Nick tends to panic and make the absolute worst choice, the kind of choice that comes from his heart rather than his head, if he can manage to make a choice at all. This isn't saying if you've planned to go out to lunch at a certain restaurant and you change your mind, he'll freak, because he won't. If you hand him three college applications, the deadline's next week, and he can only apply to one, he will agonize over the decision until the day before the deadline where he'll pick the cheapest one or the one with the highest acceptance rate and send it in, only to remember that his transcript isn't with it and he's ******** anyway.
Doormat -- Nick'll let you walk all over him if you have half a good reason to do so. He doesn't even talk much; he mostly tries to be unobtrusive, to the point where it's really easy for others (and even himself) to ignore the things he needs and wants to be happy and healthy. If something makes him uncomfortable, even
really uncomfortable, he won't say anything because he thinks it's not his place. He is the kind of guy who apologizes for having a panic attack. He's trying to work on this trait, but it's a long hard slog and he's not all that confident he'll make it.
