Nikki's Story
10 years ago
First, you might notice that I have many different versions of Nikki. Ice Queen Nikki? Genie Nikki? Who is even the real Nikki? You'll also notice that I just plain have many characters, all with their own stories and all almost interwoven with each other. For example, you'll probably notice that I have a few characters in my gallery who embody certain concepts - and they each have their own little stories in the wider universe I'm creating, which I will not detail very much. War. Luck. Lust (Rayll). Time. You'll see a new lady here soon within the coming weeks: Light. I can tell you, she's one hot lady. Literally.
And yet the entire story hinges on the adventure of one seemingly insignificant mimi; one little mortal boy whose life is suddenly torn apart in the most violent of ways and he's tossed into the unforgiving, dark underbelly of the world that most people are unaware of and those who are just wish that they could forget about it. But it's too late now, Nikki. You've fallen into the hole and there's no dragging yourself out of this pit.
Born to a prominent political Greek-Jewish family with roots dating at least to the very early days of Ottoman, big things were naturally expected of the young catboy. Tutored by some of the best and trained to be a politician like the rest of the family, Nikki showed great aptitude for silver-tongued schemes. At the age of thirteen, however, his father, Callum, died under mysterious circumstances. Nikki's mother, Alyss, became stricken with grief and an inexplicable fear, as though she too were afraid for her life.
Alyss took her child and moved to a different country. To Nikki, it seemed as though she was trying to get away from something. What it was, he didn't know, but life became somewhat normal for him... until his mother was met with the same fate as his father. Left alone, Nikki was placed into a foster home where he dealt with the loss of his parents as best as he could.
Nikki may have gone off the rails for a year or so before normalizing and becoming adjusted to his new life. Adjustment came easier later on when he fell in love with a mouse boy, who he struck a relationship with. Life was well for the next few years and he even got engaged to the mouse boy, planning to marry him and also become a fashion designer - a welcome and normal life.
Unfortunately for the kitten, his life was just not destined for normalcy (for a reason that will go unstated). At the age of 18, Nikki came home one night to find the worst of sights. His lover dead. A rogue and insane vampire in his house. Nikki could have been on the chopping block next, but the insane vampire only took a few swipes before deciding to flee.
The cat found himself tossed into a whole new world and had lost everything he'd built up until that point, at least in his mind. Nikki went mad with grief and became bent on revenge. After a few days of research, Nikki found others who could help him. Most of them experienced some sort of loss like him. Some of them were just in it to be in it. But they told him about all of the creatures that go bump in the night and that once you're in, it's too hard to climb your way back out. Once marked for trouble, trouble will always seemingly find you.
Whether their words were true or just the bitter ramblings of retribution-driven, angry humans, Nikki was drawn in, as he was on his own quest of vengeance. Nikki eventually tracked down the vampire who had killed his lover and killed him in return. With the first blood drawn, Nikki decided to stay in the life. If he killed other monsters that went bump in the night, he could save more lives and hopefully prevent what happened to him from happening to others. At least, that was the noble rationalization that he told himself to justify the vengeance that had not been satisfied.
Over the next eight years, Nikki honed his skills, athletically and on monster lore. Encountering nearly every creature under the sun, Nikki killed most of them through the skills of an acrobat, his trusty daggers, and using that alluring body of his to convince a few of them to come into the bedroom with him. Nikki nearly had a few close calls of being taken out himself, though.
As the years passed, Nikki became more solitary and separated from the other hunters. He now avoids most of them. Yet, they know who to call when they do need help. Despite the cat's effeminate nature, he's known to be one of the more skilled hunters whose daggers have bled many a beast.
Yet, Nikki meets a vampire that changes all of that and Nikki starts to change as he becomes friends with the boy.
Oh, and Nikki drives a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500
And that's the real Nikki for you. A slightly cold-blooded and lonely hunter in his mid-twenties with no family and no life besides drowning himself in empty sex and slicing the throat of whatever monster he next gets his hands on.
