Occupation: Lieutenant for a gang called the Revenants

Character overview: Nico's known for diving head first into situations without fear. He doesn’t take many things seriously, preferring to play around and enjoy himself but when it comes to family and his gang, he’s fiercely loyal and won’t let anyone mess with them. Those who do will quickly see a different side to him. Nico is tough and strong, often acting on impulse when it comes to those he cares about, but he’s smarter than he lets on. Although he is tough on the outside, deep down inside he has always felt “less than” compared to his older brother and pushes himself trying to prove a point. Nico enjoys chaos and gets a thrill out of stirring the pot especially if it’s funny. He’s not afraid to fight and throw hands, especially for his cousin.

Traits: Playful, cocky, competitive, impulsive, fearless, tough, flirtatious, loyal

Backstory: Nico grew up in a poor household in Dakota with his mother Guadalupe and older brother Victor. As their father was absent, Nico and Victor were raised closely with the family of Guadalupe’s older brother Ángel and thus he was close with his cousins, especially Blaze. Nico’s brother Victor was always smart and academic which earned all of their mother’s love and affection as she believed Victor would free them from poverty. Nico wasn’t academically smart and was always told to be more like his older brother, making him resentful of Victor. To make a point, Nico took a completely different path in life, roaming the streets and ending up joining the Revenants alongside Blaze. Now he makes as much, if not more, money than his dickhead lawyer brother Victor and Nico can’t stop rubbing it in.
