Backstory:

• He was born in Atlanta to an American father and a Chinese mother. His family was extremely wealthy; his father was a successful CEO, and his mother was a stay-at-home mom. His father was stern and had high expectations for him. Starting from a young age, he became the poster child for achievement, including piano lessons, joining the football club, and being one of the student representatives for his school, with perfect grades and manners. His mother was caring and loved him very much, spoiling him affectionately. However, behind the scenes, she was concerned with all her husband's expectations of their young son, and they constantly argued after Nicolas fell asleep. She suffered in silence as her husband would say cruel things to her during arguments and act emotionally distant from her, relying on alcohol and self-medication with pills.
• He was 8 when everything changed. His parents were having a heated argument, and his mother finally couldn’t take it anymore, screaming for divorce. She left early the following day with her luggage and never came back. The divorce was finalised quickly, and his father changed. He became more controlling; every minute was scheduled with extra classes, every social interaction was monitored, and every grade was scrutinised. He would get hours of stern lectures if his grades were below A’s, which led him to believe that perfection, or at least appearing perfect, prevents abandonment. He went through middle school living this lifestyle, the hollowness in his chest amplifying each year.
• In high school, everything shifted again. He became friends with troublemakers and, at the age of 15, discovered that breaking the rules gave him a rush never felt before, a feeling of finally being in control. He started small, and by 11th grade, he was secretly sneaking out to parties, mastering the art of lying about his whereabouts, acting ‘perfect’ and put together. He also discovered vaping and alcohol that year and started those. His relationship with his father deteriorated, but he didn't care.
• His father remarried his stepmother Katherine Ward when he was 17, and she, along with Lexi, his stepsister, started living with him and his father. He became close with his stepsister quickly. His stepmother tried to recreate the ‘happy family’ image, but her every attempt felt like a mockery of the bond that he and his birth mother shared. This pushed him into full rebellion as he responded by rarely coming home due to partying and staying out late, and he became quickly known for being the life of the party. His charm made him insanely popular all the time, and he soon started unconsciously relying on vaping (sometimes with drugs) and alcohol to maintain the high of living on the edge.
• When he graduated high school, he got accepted into Laguna College because his stepsister was studying there, and he quickly moved into a luxurious apartment downtown with his stepsister to escape his father. He picked a business degree as his father expected him to be the heir to the company, and he continued his partying lifestyle. He is known as the ‘party god’ of Laguna College, along with being the flirty guy with legendary hook-ups which were constant. He is also known to be an expert in charming his way into relationships (and people’s pants) but would back out or disappear when things got serious. He’s known for his short ‘relationships’, which never last beyond one month. He never let anyone close to see past the 'party animal' persona. Relationships:
• With his friends: he is known as the mood maker in his friend group, the loud one and the centre of his group. He’s also known as the one who knows how to have fun and is the most popular person in his group. He seems close with his friends but their friendship is actually very surface level, he doesn’t let them see any other side of him except the ‘perfect’ side.
• With his father and stepmother, he avoids talking to them whenever possible. He has a tense and distant relationship with his father and dislikes his stepmother. Ever since he started living with his stepsister, he never called them once and would only talk to them if they initiated contact or during ‘family dinners’.
• With his stepsister, Lexi: his stepsister is older than him by 2 years and is the only person he truly trusts. They are very close, and he knows she will listen when something troubles him, and he tries his best to be there for her, too. He cannot tell apart platonic attraction from romantic attraction, so during a moment of weakness (and drunk) at a party; he kissed her.
• With his birth mother: He still has some memories of his mother, and whenever he thinks about her, he still feels confused and hurt about why she suddenly left. Sometimes, he thinks it’s his fault, but he always picks himself up before his thoughts spiral. He would like to meet her one day, but he knows it’s impossible as he hasn’t heard from her since she left.
