Character Development: Nicholas "Nick" Smith

Nick is my second character who I've started to develop and although he isn't as finished as Coby I'm still really liking his personality and the vibe that he's giving off.


Nick is a 37 year old man hailing from Texas, USA. After divorcing his wife he left behind all he had to set up shop in Rio. Nick's shop, aptly named "MechaNick's" is where he works and lives and with the upcoming Rio Carnival on its way it was up to Nick to get all the floats motors up and running successfully. When the outbreak occurred Nick locked himself away in his shop and lived off of his supplies for as long as was possible before having to move on to new ground.


Over the weeks Nick has slaughtered hundreds of Infected and had rounded up 2 other people with him, Serah and Sanza in the process. The was beginning to gather up a small team of infected fighting survivors who he could use for zombie-bait should the need ever arise.
Whilst trekking across the shoreline in search for fish Nick was approached by a younger man named Coby Kekoa who requested his aid. Initially the mechanic brushed Coby off and became hostile towards the surfer. However after some convincing that the younger man would be an asset to the team Nick agreed to let Coby join them in finding safety, providing he pulled his weight.


Although a seemingly cold and callous man Nick does a good job of taking care of the other survivors, acting almost like an un-appointed leader of the group. Despite being stone faced and emotionless for the majority of the time Nick has shown to feel true concern over his groups well being and despite seeing them only as bait at first as begun to see them more as equals, though he would never openly admit it. Nick is a ranged fighter and excels in firearms of different kinds, he can use melee weapons reasonably well but cannot use a bow.
