...Nicholas Daniel King*
*'He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans. But his agents are numerous and splendidly organised. Is there a crime to be done, a paper to be abstracted, we will say, a house to be rifled, a man to be removed - the word is passed to the Professor, the matter is organised and carried out. The agent may be caught. In that case money is found for his bail or his defense. But the central power which uses the agent is never caught - never so much as suspected. This was the organization which I deduced, Watson, and which I devoted my whole energy to exposing and breaking up.'*

...basics*
name...[/b][/size]
My name is Nicholas Daniel King.
nickname...[/b][/size]
Just Nicholas. I have been known to go by the epithet Nicky, though it is privileged.
age...[/b][/size]
I am twenty seven years old, though I personally find birthdays to be inconsequential. Years, months, days, and minutes are creations, about as provable God. Does a lion think it has an age? No. It's a lion. And I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes. I'm great at parties.
gender...[/b][/size]
Male.
grade...[/b][/size]
I dropped out my sophomore year and I never bothered to go back. An education would provide nothing for me that I can't get myself.
occupation...[/b][/size]
I do freelance programming when some honest money is needed.
hometown...[/b][/size]
I was born in La Jolla, California. My Mother brought me to Boston when I was five, where we squatted in various parts of the city between boyfriends who inevitably left her because she was crazy.
sexuality...[/b][/size]
I'm officially a three on the Kinsey scale, though people are rarely an interest of mine. I would claim pansexuality, but my tastes have very little to do with whether a person is attractive, kind, bitchy, or brave. They simply have to be interesting.
personification...[/b][/size]
Professor James Moriarty.
status...[/b][/size]
Sleepy, however my dreams are most vivid.
face claim...[/b][/size]

...appearance*
physical...[/b][/size]
I suppose I could be considered attractive. Honestly I wouldn't be terribly interested in someone who was invested in my looks, so it works out. My hair is a bit moppy, I suppose. It ranges from a fair blond to a nearly brown dish water colour, depending on the amount of sun I manage to get. My eyes are blue- like Natalie- though with considerably less green. Around the edges of my pupil I have a more frosty grey colour that spreads into a deceptively boyish blue with the aged and sleepless contrast of the bags beneath them. I'm stringy and have been called malnourished on more than one occasion. Though my body is healthy, I border on obsessive compulsive at even the slightest tickle in my throat. I pick. I pick rather a lot, actually. My hair, my skin, my clothes. I bite my nails, which occasionally becomes infected. However I have good teeth and am rather springy.
clothing style...[/b][/size]
I really am not sure how to answer this. Preferably I wear sweat pants and tee shirts. Nothing with stupid phrases or clever pictures, and I never wear sweats that bunch around the ankles like tourniquets. I like my clothing loose fitting and comfortable. Cotton products. When forced by my better half (is that a term used for spouses, I had no idea) to enter the outside world I'll throw on a pair of my slowly dissolving jeans and a sock hat. Perhaps a jacket if it is chilly. Is that a style?
defining traits...[/b][/size]
Besides being so damn likable? Occasional scabs and bald patches. While I never stink persay, Natalie says I have a smell rather similar to how humidity feels on the skin. Whatever that means.[/blockquote]
...personal info*
personality...[/b][/size]
You know for a narcissist, I'm very aware of my flaws. I suppose that makes me special as far as narcissist go.
