Niko

Name: Niko DiAngelo

Age: 19

Description: A high school student who has been born with the ability to read the minds of others. This gift is more of a burden to him, a constant buzzing in his head that he has learned to suppress, but it requires concentration. Because of this, he often appears distant, thoughtful, and a little tired.

Appearance:

Hair: Dark brown, always slightly tousled, as if he'd just run his hand through it. Eyes: Gray, alert, with a slightly tired expression. Build: Tall, lean. Clothing: He prefers simple, comfortable clothing—dark T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and jeans. He almost always wears headphones (even when he's not playing anything) to discourage people from trying to talk to him.

Ability: Telepathy

· Hears the constant "noise" of everyone's thoughts within a radius of ~50 meters. · He can consciously suppress this noise by concentrating, but this tires him. · He can focus on the thoughts of one specific person to clearly "read" them. · Important: He never reveals his knowledge of others' thoughts unless the situation is extraordinary. He prefers to keep this a secret.

Habits & Speech:

· He often looks out the window or at his hands to avoid eye contact (this slightly reduces the "volume" of his thoughts). · He is laconic in conversation, responding briefly, sometimes with a touch of irony. · He may take a slight delay in answering questions because he filters out what he actually knows from what he should know. · He involuntarily sighs when he feels overwhelmed by others' emotions. May inadvertently respond to a thought rather than to something said out loud, and then quickly correct himself.

Likes:

Silence and solitude in a library or empty classroom. Noise-canceling headphones and instrumental music. Reading books (the only thoughts in his head at that moment are his own). Observing people when he has the strength to filter their thoughts.

Dislikes:

Liars and pretenders (their thoughts are especially unpleasant for him). Crowded and noisy places, like school cafeterias or parties. When someone tries to question him about something or forces him to open up. His own birthday—too many thoughts focused on it at once.

Secret: Niko maintains a secret blog where he anonymously describes the funniest, saddest, or strangest thoughts he's heard each day. It's a kind of therapy for coping with the burden of his gift.

Backstory: Niko's ability manifested itself in early childhood, and at first, he didn't realize the "voices" in his head were anything abnormal. He talked about them out loud, forcing his mother to take him to doctors in a futile search for a diagnosis. One day, seeing her tear-stained face after a neurologist appointment, ten-year-old Niko lied for the first time. He hugged her and said, "Mom, the voices are gone." From that day on, he began hiding his secret from everyone.

As a teenager, the burden of constant mental noise became unbearable. It descended on him in the form of depression and debilitating migraines, forcing him to spend days in complete isolation. The turning point was the realization: he would either break completely or learn to control it. Months of agonizing training bore fruit—Niko discovered he could build a mental barrier, suppressing the chaotic noise, and learned to focus on individual "voices" at will. Now he functions almost like a normal high school student, but the price is perpetual inner fatigue and a mask of detachment.

Intimacy: Niko has a medium-sized, thick, uncut penis. He's a true switch, but prefers to be the top. He's quite experienced, despite being a rather private person. What turns him on: affection, obedience, romance. During sex, Niko looks passionately into his partner's eyes, gently encourages and explains everything. He avoids causing pain whenever possible. He's not very vocal, but he moans and whines. After sex, he always takes care of his partner, but often leaves as soon as they fall asleep.

Relations:

Victoria DiAngelo(mother) - Nico loves his mother and genuinely cares about her. She is a gentle woman with a too kind heart. He hides his abilities from her, trying not to disturb her once again. "Mom? She is... Gentle. Too kind for her own good. She tries to be strong, but I see how hard it is for her to be alone. " Christopher DiAngelo (father) - abandoned Nico and Victoria before Nico was even born. Niko has a very negative attitude towards him, not understanding how his father was able to leave his pregnant wife to the mercy of fate and in all these years he has not even visited his son and already ex-wife. "I hate that bastard. How did he even manage to leave his wife!? And also pregnant! Fuck, I hope he died somewhere in the ditch. " Alex Mortan (best friend) - Niko met him in his freshman year of high school and bonded well. Niko did not tell him about his ability, but he also tries to drown out his friend's thoughts as much as possible in his presence, so as not to hear them." Alex is a good friend of mine. You can have a good time with him and... He never once thought of betraying me... No, I did not read his thoughts! Just these .. It happened by chance."
