So come on in to one of Nick's performances should he be in the area and kick back and relax. You'll be in for a bit of a show. And, if Nick's not careful with his choice of lyrics, maybe more so than he was expecting too.

From birth, Michael Nicholas 'Nick' Drago's existence has been no stranger to poor decisions. The first ones came from the parents. After a rather quick romance spurned from a chance meeting at a summer theater festival, Eileen Hannigan and Savio Carmine were married, much to the distaste of both sets of relatives. They did alright, Savio's job was well paying but Eileen soon came to realize that the job was less than legitimate. After a couple months, they had an annulment with Savio's true occupation being the unofficial reason. But by then, Eileen was with child. <br><br>Michael 'Nicholas' Drago was born June 3rd in Hell's Kitchen. Eileen raised Michael as a single mother with Savio occasionally stopping by. On the visits, he would provide small amounts of money to help with raising Nick. This arrangement ceased after one night where a disagreement over the source of Savio's money led to Eileen acquiring a limp.<br><br>Despite the angry protests of Nick's father, Eileen moved with her son out to the Randall neighborhood of Gotham in the hopes of raising him in a slightly less violent and corrupt environment. The choice of location was yet another, AMAZINGLY poor decision. Refusing any further aid or contact with Savio, Eileen and Nick instead lived on site of the hotel Eileen worked. They lived on a small budget. When not heading to school or from school, Nick was kept mainly indoors with stories from his mom about patron saints and the occasional visit to the library for his primary source of entertainment and school (Both the weekday and Sunday variety) being his primary source of social interactions with kids his age.<br><br>When Nick was 10, Eileen stepped out of a room she finished cleaning into the path of people who were busy robbing the hotel. The general belief was that she just happened to startle the more trigger happy of the two. The robbers were never found and her tragic death was quickly moved to the cold case files. <br><br>After his mother's death, Savio did attempt to gain custody, and quite possibly in the only display of concern over Nick, custody was denied. While not stated, it is likely presumed that the suspected ties Savio had were the reason. <br><br>Either way, Savio had a partial victory in that Nick's other relatives lived in New York as well. Nick soon found himself being shipped back to New York, this time to live with his Aunt, Fiona Hannigan. With the assistance of the interest money generated off the insurance payout from Eileen's death, Fiona was a decent guardian. She took care of Nick's basic needs, and even continued with the Library trips, and somehow, like her sister, did not seem to believe in basic cable. <br><br>Another change Nick experienced was finding himself being the target of an abnormally large amount of people wishing to start fights with him for no reason known to him. The best he could figure, it was because they were older and bigger. Fighting became practically a daily routine for him. Hospital trips were the norm with little to no intervention from local law enforcements. After enough times of getting no help, Nick and his aunt just gave up on the possibility of police intervention. <br><br>Eventually As he got older and more practiced so did the opponents who kept coming out of the woodwork and his confidence in dealing with whatever problems that came with him grew, along with the starting stages of general disobedience fueled by a general sense of anger of being targeted so frequently.<br><br>The constant bullying made what would have been a kind of okay childhood (Minus the mom murder) into a less than pleasant one. This was complicated by him developing sleeping problems. His sleep cycles started getting out of whack, giving more precedence to the REM sleep cycles than the deep sleep cycles. This continued for a bit until he was dragged to the doctor by his aunt after his irritated, sleep deprived self got expelled from school for fighting. The doctor introduced him to the concept of sleeping pills to treat the disorder.<br><br>He ended up getting home schooling after that and while that did curb some of the fights. They still would occur whenever he left the apartment. Feeling defiant of the community that seems to want to drive him to be a hermit, he did the opposite. He started attending the nightlife around age 16 with the proper fake-ID in hand and eventually started to have fun partying, fighting, and drinking.<br><br>The police did finally show some concern regarding one of the fights when one of his former opponents tried a sneak attack from behind with a bat. It's a little unclear what happened to that guy. He wasn't arrested for the attack. He also wasn't seen around the area any longer after that. Oddly enough, the fights kind of dried up after that. <br><br>At age 18, Nick got his GED, and soon found himself living on his own, working several low level jobs. One of these jobs was a convenience store clerk position, which resulted in a stabbed arm by a would be robber. At the hospital he meets Rod Donovan, who was in there for a bloodied nose gained from a scuffle with a bouncer earlier. During the long wait, they hit it off and end up hanging out.<br><br>Rod and Nick go out on the town for some drinking and run into Wade Shaw and Jack Mantley and hit things off. In their infinite drunken wisdom, they decide to start a band they dubbed 'Silver Round'. When they sobered up, they realized they actually sounded good. Since three of their lives were pretty much crap anyways, and Wade seemed to be pretty alright moneywise, they decided to go share Wade's small studio apartment together in the Hell's Kitchen area and focus on music. <br><br>After a few years of songwriting, recording demos, working bars, and developing a fan following, they get a call for a record deal from Golem Records.<br><br>After experiencing some promising sales of their debut album, 'Social Disease', three of the band members of Silver Round out to celebrate. Nick, although now of legal drinking age, stayed at the apartment due to some 'sleeping issues'. There was a little bit too much partying, and yet another poor decision occurred, resulting in a car accident which results in the deaths of two members, Jack and Rod.<br><br>While Wade stayed in New York, Nick slipped away from the public view, presumedly retreating to Gotham as he worked through what happened. It was during this time of self-pity that Nick happened to strike up a quasi-friendship with a bartender named Leo DiBartenda at a hole in the wall establishment that didn't apparently get any business when Nick was in. At some point the topic went to regrets, and Nick had plenty. And then Leo posed the question: "If you could make things better, even a little, would you?" Nick replied in the affirmative and Leo gave him a drink on the house and a handshake.<br><br>"Now you can."<br><br>Well, it turned out Leo was not your typical bartender and Nick had the equivalent of a 'Dream Travel for Dummies' book crammed in his head upon the older man touching his hand. Nick passed out Unfortunately for him, Leo did not stick around to explain what he did or give him lessons on how to use the abilities he passed over to him. Instead, Nick woke up to find the bar closed, Leo gone, and to add insult to injury, his wallet empty. Great. Just freaking great. <br><br>Pretty weirded out, Nick returned back to New York, moving back in with Wade, who had apparently come into more money since Nick left and switched his focus to starting up and running a small recording studio, named 'Shaw Studios' The studio apartment was gone and Wade now had ownership of a small, small, SMALL condo in Midtown.

(side effect) Coupled with the dream energy of the phantasm, when speaking or singing in a rhyming scheme, Nick has accidentally performed spells. He's only noticed this occurring with verses from two particular songs he wrote and as a result has opted not to dabble with anymore songs pertaining to religious figures. Or demons. Yeah, nothing good could come of that.<br><br>The two songs are:<br>Raphael's Flask - Song pertaining to St. Raphael, patron saint of bodily ills and mental illness - provides protection against illness, both physical and mental (Including nightmares)<br>Lucia's Light - Song pertaining to St. Lucia, patron saint of the blind and writers - provides a holy light to deter contact from things of a demonic nature<br><br>

<br>
Imbues banishment magic into a hand held object. Smack the possessed with it. Demon gone with only the object doing smacking causing damage to the person. This would only work on lesser demons. Entities like Lucifer or Mephisto would not be affected. Mid level likely would be affected in a smaller way, not banished entirely. The object can be passed to another for smacking purposes but Nick would have to keep some form of focus on the spell to maintain it. <br><br>He can cast the spell into three objects with a single spell, though he usually only does two as he has to be touching the objects or they have to be touching each other while held in his hands. Up to three spells in a scene, but it does take a short time to cast. If he loses focus, the object loses the magical power that he had imbued to it. When used on a creature like a vampire, most times it will destroy the vampire just as a stake through the heart would as the demon within is destroyed. He cannot cure a vampire and turn them back human, even if they are newly created. This spell does not always work, depending on the age/power level of the demon or vampire in question. <br><br>(OOC Note: Consent is required for use of this power on PCs. The spell can fail in some form to allow for storytelling.)<br><br>

Able to drink large locomotive (engineers) under the table, able to down bottles of beer in a single gulp, he's- a musician. With the head start he's had with underage drinking and the non-stop party that is celebrity and genetics is it any wonder that he's developed quite a tolerance for alcohol?<br><br>

<br>
When it came time to pick a weapon to learn how to use, the background of working with drumsticks had a major influence in Nick's decision to lean towards Escrima Sticks. He already knows how to handle sticks and they feel comfortable in hand. He's had a couple years of learning and practicing how to apply escrima practices with stick work.<br><br>
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Marksmanship:'''</span>
<br>
Not really a skill Nick was striving for, this one was more gained out of necessity as Bucky wanted Nick to come along for a mission to help resolve Nick's HYDRA problems. Nick ended up getting one on one training to get him up to passing standards. The one training him was James 'Bucky' Barnes and he sort of lied about how high up the passing standard was.<br><br>

With his current successes with 'Breakout', 'Hell', and the increase in sales of 'Social Disease' due to the release of his solo albums, along with the monetary benefits of his lengthy tours, he does have a bit more money than most. However, if he doesn't want to use the market account, his finances are still a limited supply and is more a means to maintain a comfortable living in his current living accommodations<br><br>

<span style="color:#228B22">'''Apartment:'''</span>
<br>
<br>
With just two people sharing it, this one room, quasi-kitchen, one bathroom condo seems quite spacious. TECHNICALLY this is Wade's property but this isn't the first time he's shared.<br><br>
After the attack on Wade's Condo, Nick has opted to live separate from his friend just in case there's a repeat of the situation. So he now has an apartment in Four Freedoms Plaza. It's still pretty decent sized for one person to be living in it. And it has the added bonus that people might be a bit less inclined to attack his apartment specifically. The building as a whole, not so much.<br><br>
<span style="color:#228B22">'''Crappy Cell Phone:'''</span>
<span style="color:#228B22">'''Escrima Sticks:'''</span>
<br>
<br>
More out of the insistence of the record company and his bandmates, Nick has invested in a phone. It's a simple Nokia, candy bar style phone that simply makes phone calls and can technically send and receive text messages. There is no camera feature on it and the screen that would display the text messages is kind of squished up due to it being somewhat messed up from being run over. But other than the fact he can't really read text messages on the display and only can see the mail notification icon in the upper left corner teasing him, It still sends and receives phone calls and in Nick's eyes that means it doesn't need to be replaced.<br><br>
Buffy gave them to him. He trains with them, they're not of the stabby variety but they do have wood to their construction. They fit in easily into his backpack and due to a technicality regarding the definition of walking sticks, they are technically street legal where he lives. Yay!<br><br>

Despite the questionable childhood, it turns out that there were several blessings hidden within it. The first was Nick's mother having the foresight to get a term life insurance policy for about ten times her annual salary. The second was his aunt who put the money into a money market account and left it mostly untouched for much of Mike's childhood. Due to the miracle of compound interest and time, it now produces around $112K a year in interest. Mike tries to avoid using the money in an effort to build up the funds even more than that. But it is a nice reassurance that if things go crazy, he could always get a decent place to live in a part of the country with a lower cost of living. Heck, he could even spring for a bedroom plan!<br><br>

With Nick's approach to friendship, Wade benefited greatly from Nick's treatment after the home invasion. Still working to get his hand back up to par post-surgery, he has not gone back to playing guitar professionally as of yet, but instead has focused on the sound production and administrative side of Shaw Studios. Not only does Mike help with the utilities, he is also the first in line to critique Nick's work. In return, Wade lets Nick stay with him and also got Nick his studio musician position as a backup source of income.<br><br>

<br>
Alright, technically the laptop in the condo belongs to the roomie and not him, but kind hearted Wade has set up a restricted access user account JUST for Nick so he may go online and do some browsing. The laptop is of good quality and is quite capable of running the sound intensive programs that the true owner of the laptop uses but Nick doesn't directly use them anyways.<br><br>

Those that raised him may be gone but there is still the factor of the father that Nick wrote out of his life. All Nick knows is that Savio Carmine Drago is bad news. Probably is involved in something questionable and with people of the same nature. As to the extent of the bad, he is uncertain as he does not have any desire to look any further than that. Ignorance is bliss. Perhaps, but it can also get you into a lot of trouble.<br><br>
Those that raised him may be gone but there is still the factor of the father that Nick wrote out of his life. Nick was raised to believe Savio Carmine Drago to be bad news and involved in something questionable. And as he's found out, that is a correct assessment but for reasons different than what he initially thought. It has already caused some trouble for him and there is the possibility it might cause more.<br><br>

'Think before you speak' is a known rule, but when you're too tired to think, this rule can often times be ignored. This 'foot in mouth syndrome' developed in his time growing up in New York, basically the result of the stress of his life being uprooted, incessant fights, and the increasing irritableness of not getting enough sleep. When people got on his nerves, he was apparently too tired to even consider being tactful with his words and often would just speak his thoughts as they popped into his head. By the time the causing factors for this was treated, Nick and those around him were so used to his manner of speaking that there really was no reason to start practicing self-censorship even then.<br><br>

Nick recently found out that a lot of his misfortunes growing up could be attributed to HYDRA. The process of finding out has led to his regular life being severely disrupted and friends and family being threatened. While this threat seems to have been handled in theory, Nick is in the process of rebuilding what parts of his life he wants back. There's also that troubling thought that comes after such a conflict.<br><br>Are they really done with him?<br><br>

Profile

With him running around balancing the careers of musican, actor, and songwriter with a dabble of charity work, one could say Nick is an everchanging guy which makes the dream form and dream travel abilities he has all the more suited for him.

So come on in to one of Nick's performances should he be in the area and kick back and relax. You'll be in for a bit of a show. And, if Nick's not careful with his choice of lyrics, maybe more so than he was expecting too.
