Character Name: Nico di Angelo Character Canon: Riordanverse AU Basic Info: Little demigod attempts to live a normal life, only to be kidnapped and forced into a lengthy series of experiments. He spent a long time trapped beneath the CIA's (read: supernatural beings disguised as that) thumb, alongside all the other PJO kids. His sister attempted to break them out, only to be killed (it was declared "self-defense" for that scientist), so that definitely gave him some trauma to go with his trauma.
Naturally, this just taught the children they needed to be much more careful about breaking free - well... sorta. Nico, himself, just learned how to hatehatehate scientists, doctors, federal agents...
Once their powers started to grow stronger, they were forced into some really twisted "games" against one another. (Yes, this is loosely a Hunger Games x PJO crossover, fight me). Those who were children of the "big deal" gods were given the hardest challenges, and were gradually forced into "games" that involved killing children of those outside the "big deal" gods.
But Nico always refused to kill anyone... even six years later, with his own life on the line.
TbF Timeline: He's been here three years!
Arrival: Nico was especially quiet, painfully thin, and probably looked a lot like what you'd expect of a middle schooler going through a goth phase... despite the fact that it was obvious he was a teenager. He had this air about him that probably felt like he wanted to be avoided at all costs, yet never made a point of pushing anyone away. He was just... kind of scared, really.
Roughly 1 Year Later: He was already starting to "blossom" a little. By this point, he's started to open up to people such as Sora and Kosuke, possibly Akira and Mitsuri, as well. Sora and Kosuke are easier for him to talk to, of course.
2 Years From Arrival: Then along came Will... making everything very complicated for Nico, given the feelings he'd developed for the Will back in the labs. Part of him was disappointed over the fact that the Will here wasn't the Will from there, and then that created a pretty heavy weight of guilt on his shoulders.
By the current (AKA around TDM) point, he's grown very attached to the people who've been here since before/around his arrival, and he'll have done his best to be a mentor of sorts to anyone newer than he is. He's got this... issue, however, with wanting to jump in front of attacks, but at least this has translated into a role that allows that to not lead to legit injury.
Put simply and in gamer speak: his being a Dark Knight means that he can sit at 1 HP and attack even harder while at that point. It helps that he basically absorbs HP from enemies. :>
CR Wanted: Something soft, at least for a little while. CR Unwanted: Anything involving him having to kill someone.
plz no comment to this
