Full Name: Nicholas Landon Stokes

Hair: Light Brown

Other Notable Features: Tattoo on his right arm. He has a tough, hard ass look about him which he uses to his advantage. He also smokes when he's anxious.
Play By: Carmine Giovinazzo
Personality: Nicholas is very cocky, very social, and sexually promiscuous. He loves being the center of attention and primes himself on getting on people's nerves. He also doesn't really take life seriously. He takes risks others would call crazy. This has landed him in the hospital quite a few times for injuries that could have been easily avoided had he put a little thought into his actions, which he rarely does.
Nic believes in true friendship so he'll be very loyal to those he befriends. Intimate relationships are another story. He goes through women like candy and doesn't think twice about it. Love is nonexistent and he doesn't waste his time trying to be monogamous.
He does take time away from the bustle of social life to be alone and rest because like everyone knows, you can't party forever. In his spare time he enjoys reading and writing. Shocker? Perhaps, but he's not stupid. He'd rather others didn't know about this little past time. It'll make him appear soft, something his inflated ego would never allow. He's a hard worker when he needs to be and be relied on in tough situations. That is if you get past his holier than thou attitude.
Ability: Can travel through shadows from place to place. When standing in shadows he's relatively invisible. His power is pretty contradictory to his personality/life. He was always in the spotlight at home, yet he moves in the shadows now. He liked being the center of attention yet now he's invisible. Gotta love it.
History:
Nicholas was born and raised in Alberta, Canada by his two aunts Leslie and Margaret Crawford. They spoiled him early on, giving him sweets and toys and love even he couldn't help put to appreciate, especially given the fact that his mother and father were locked up for drug use. They tried to make up for their absence by buying him things, but he knew something was missing in his life. As a child he stayed to himself most of the time. He loved to trail behind his aunts. They were the only two people around and though he loved them he loved to test their patience more. More times than he can count, his curiosity got the best of him and he found himself in deep trouble. For instance he decided to see whether Clorox would bleach all sorts of cloths. That just happened to include the sofa, carpet and his aunts clothes. That didn't turn out well at all and he ended up scrubbing every inch of floor in the kitchen as punishment.
His behavior did not improve much as he aged and at the tender age of 13 he was worse than ever. See, Nicholas knew that he was good looking and he made sure everyone else knew it too. This got him the reputation of being rather conceded. He was to a degree, but more than being conceded he was confident and self assured, a feat most of his peers idolized. Almost nothing could deter him and once he graduated from high school at 17 he went on to become a model, much to his aunts chagrin. They thought he ought to attend college, become an educated young gentleman. He had other plans.
Moving to Manhattan he found that the world of modeling was pretty cut throat. He got his first taste of rejection while looking for agents. To say the least, his inflated head deflated a bit during this process and he became a bit more humble, but not enough to be recognized by the people he constantly condescended upon. To balance out the rejection he thrust himself into the social world, partying and sleeping with strange women to feel accepted. He found his first true friend at age 25. It was an unlikely relationship. His friend, a intern at a magazine, basically told him to grow the 'F' up and stop acting like a child. The world didn't revolve him. No one had ever come straight out and told him they hated him. They hit it off immediately and have been friends for almost 4 years.
He abandoned modeling and focused instead on something more adult. Embracing his love of the written word he became a journalist.. Because he was always out at late hours he always knew what was going on so he got the big stories before other journalist did. He ascended through the ranks at his place of work fairly quickly, making a name for himself.
