Appearance : Casual teenager clothing, usually hoodies and camo pants. Quite a big guy, with a broad build but not very muscular at all, with quite a gut that is well hidden under all that baggy clothing. Keeps well groomed, but otherwise looks tired or bored, but doesn't necissarily mean he is.

Personality : Somewhat lazy when it comes to getting things done. He doesn't like to rush things and stays pretty quiet. Finds loud noises and busy places uncomfortable and disruptive, but also likes to work while people are around him. Often times he takes walks with his camera or sketchpad and goes exploring. He has alot of bottled up emotions that he can't seem to get out, whether it be how he feels about people, places or situations. Tries to use rationality to hide how he actually feels about something, but all the pent up energy is starting to have some serious effects on himself.

Background : Born and raised in Canada by his parents who are both busy and successful lawyers. With both his parents usually preoccupied with thier careers he feels very detached from his family and grew to hate thier lifestyle. He chose to persue creativity as a career but his parents did not approve, wanting thier son to follow in thier footsteps. Without his parents support he struggled through school as best he could, latching onto photography and eventually moved out to the family summer home in the Carribean, ideal due to his disliking of cold weather, and went freelance for the tourism industry. He makes enough to barely get by but is comfortable in his own little world.

How He Was Chosen : He lives close to the docks which happens to be one of his favorite places to go for a walk and take some leisurely photos. On several occasions hes taken pictures of the boats, workers and items going on and coming off boats and this has not gone unnoticed by a certain company. Though Nick thinks nothing of the pictures he takes, the continuous pressence of him and his doings are making some of the faculty nervous and they feel it is just safer to 'remove' him from the situation before an accident happens.
