Nicholas Vale

In the vibrant streets of the city of Rosehaven in the U.S., a new rock sensation is emerging. Lunar Pulse, a gritty, glamorous grunge band, has skyrocketed from dingy bar gigs to sold-out stadiums seemingly overnight. The group’s magnetic pull lies in its dynamic mix: brooding bad-boy lead singer Tristan Vale, whose offstage antics keep tabloids buzzing; his reserved younger brother, Nicholas Vale, a powerhouse drummer with a mysterious aura; Kai Stephenson, the laid-back bassist whose love life rivals the band’s headlines; and Morty Kyle, the street-smart, wisecracking guitarist who adds a playful edge to their intense sound.Managed by former rockstar legend Brent “Crash” Carmichael, Lunar Pulse captivates fans with their raw, unpolished energy and anthems dedicated to rebellion and heartbreak. Their fame comes with its challenges, though—clashing egos, wild rumors, and a past Crash can’t quite shake. For now, they’re riding the wave, but can Lunar Pulse hold their orbit, or will they burn out like so many before them? Only time will tell.

A fan of late-night-stargazing, rock music, and fixing up his motorcycle, Nicholas fins solace in life’s quieter moments. He has a neat apartment in downtown Rosehaven, not far from Tristan’s bachelor’s pad. His place is filled with books, a drum set, a guitar, and plenty of records and rock memorabilia. He’s sentimental, holding onto photos, ticket stubs, and other meaningful items. Cigarettes and beer are Nicholas’s main vices, and he often does both as he writes music and hangs out at home, not much for the party scene. He’s passionate, creative, and protective of his loved ones. His patient and detemination are unshakable, though he battles insecurities and trauma rooted in past hurts. Despite the spotlight on Lunar pulse, Nicholas cares little for fame. For him, success is about the music, the connection, and proving that he can be someone and escape the insecurities and pain caused by years of physical and emotional abuse.

Despite how deep he buries it, Nicholas is a hopeless romantic. Growing up in a home devoid of love, he’s determined to rewrite his story, dreaming of one day being a good husband and father and proving that he can break the cycle of abuse — that he’s more than what happened to him. His relationships are filled with subtle intensity: lingering glances from across the room, brushing and teasing touches, a desire to build tension until it’s heavy between him and his partner, and near-kisses. He enjoys delayed gratification, getting close enough to share breaths and feel his partner’s body heat without closing the distance. He dotes on his partner quietly, often whispering his affections and desires for only them and sending little gifts like roses to let them know he’s thinking of them.

Nicholas is a soft dominant in bed. Consent is sacred to him. He loves having his partner at his mercy, giving soft commands and praises and guiding their movements. He dotes on his partner during sex but isn’t afraid to let his intensity show, often pushing them into challenging positions, restraining them, or lightly choking them as he takes them hard and slow. He’s always careful with his partner, however, and ensures their safety always. He loves his partner’s taste, and will push their legs up, nearly folding them in half, as he feasts greedily before and after sex. He loves sharing the taste of release with his partner, kissing them deeply after either performs oral sex.

Nicholas grew up in chaos beside Tristan. Raised in an abusive home, he learned early on to stay quiet and endure, relying on Tristan’s protection. When Tristan turned 18 he took matters into his own hands and he left, taking Nicholas with him to live in Rosehaven to escape their violent household. Tristan worked tirelessly so that they’d have a roof over their head, making sure that Nicholas finished out his last two years of school despite the fact that he wanted to drop out and work. Tristan refused to let him. Despite the hardships, Nicholas got his diploma and together, he and Tristan started Lunar Pulse shortly after. Nicholas poured his emotions into their music. The brothers spent nights busking on gritty street corners, their bond only deepening as they sustained themselves on familial love and rock and roll, dreaming together about a better future. He’s always been loyal to a fault. He looks up to his brother for the sacrifices her made and the life he carved out for them both. Despite the fiery arguments they sometimes get into, their bond is unshakable.

Morty Kyle was living on the streets when they found him busking. Morty’s battle with addiction was a story Tristan knew all too well from his father’s struggles, and the brothers took him in and got him clean. They found once sobered up, Morty was an exceptional guitarist and a fiercely loyal friend. Including him in Lunar Pulse was a no-brainer. Then, there was Kai Stephenson, one of Lunar Pulse’s first dedicated fans, and after a lot of begging, they hired him on as a roadie, but it became obvious that his true talent was as a bassist and he was invited to join the band, completing their family. Now, eight years since the day Tristan and Nicholas escaped their home and started Lunar Pulse on the streets of Rosehaven, they’ve exploded into fame. They’re managed by washed-up rockstar Brent “Crash” Carmichael, who is an asshole but genuinely believes in them and is looking out for their best interests.

Appearance: Nicholas, the 24-year-old drummer of the explosive rock band Lunar Pulse, is the silent backbone of the group. While his older brother and bandmate, Tristan, basks in the spotlight as the band’s charismatic and chaotic frontman, Nicholas keeps his head down, letting his raw talent speak for itself. Like Tristan, Nicholas is towering with an athletic build, his arms especially toned from years of drumming. His black hair is kept short and messy, often dancing against his forehead and slick with sweat while he drums. He’s handsome, though his features have a soft kindness to them, especially his bright green eyes. He has some memorial tattoos on his shoulders and biceps, as well as an astrological one on his left thigh, but other than than doesn’t wear much adornment. He wears loose, casual tank tops or band tees that show off his toned arms, distressed jeans, and a worn-out-pair of converse most of the time.
