Description
As the title states, this is actually the first character I've ever created (well, for a story. 'Characters' before him were simply childish doodles that served no real purpose). He went through quite a few redesigns before I became satisfied with this one. After his story was written...back in fourth grade or earlier I think, he was pretty much ignored for years until I came upon the book I made.Yeah, the drawings were crap, the plot's basically a massive E.T. rip-off (with the 'getting left behind on Earth and need the help of a kid to get back' theme), but he still has a special place in my heart.
This is Nick, instead of getting left behind on Earth, he actually crashed here. He was the only surviving creature in the wreakage, any other living beings were more or less burnt to a crisp or left behind shells or exo-skelentons of some kind (oddly, the corpses didn't appear to be of the same species as Nick). Due to the crash, Nick gained amnesia and can't remember anything from before the crash, not even his original name. The name 'Nick' was given by the person that found him. To add to that, he lost both arms during the crash. Furtunately, he gained faux arms as part of an experiment (along with that C-section scar, but it's not very clear as to what purpose that served).
Over time, he gaines sort of 'flash-backs' or remembers tib-its of his life before Earth. Though they'er not much, at least it's something.
As for personality, he's strong-willed and competitive. He can't stand the thought of being seen as weak to others, so that would mean he's self-concious of himself. This is much less evident to people he knows well though, as he doesn't try 'to put up a front' nearly as much as he would a stranger.
As for abilities, his arms can stretch to amazing lengths and can support a lot of weight (he can even elevate himself with them). To increase their usefulness, they can even change shape other than stretch. The 'orbs' at the end of his antennas randomly glow, though not even Nick knows what that's for.
For weaknesses, he can't survive well in cold. Winter is deadly to him, even the time of Fall can make him very ill from cold. He can adapt to heat exceptionally well, which may explain how he survived the crash. Another weakness of his is that alcohol causes him great harm, including awful burning and extreme symptoms of being drunk. And that's only in small doses. Not really a weakness as it is an inconvienence, he can't walk like humans, only hop like a kangaroo.
I think that's all the intresting facts. Hope you like him.

I actually had a feeling you'd like him.
Darnit, I forgot to mention that his speech sounds like garbled or broken English. I keep forgetting things when it comes to writing bios for my own characters.

Same here.
Hey, do you think Jersey and Nick could get along? I just feel like talking to be honest. XD

XD Talking's good.
I think they could get along. Nick seems like the kind of person Jersey would like to hang out with.

Yeah, though Nick might be freaked out by Reaper. (who wouldn't? )

Out of curousity, does Reaper have any phobias?

Uh huh. He has Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, other wise none as the fear of long words. ( How ironic; someone with that phobia can't even say what they have!)

Niiice.
How good of a fighter is he? I mean, does he run and hit like Jersey has to or does he just hack away with his sythe? (yes, the questions are revelent. I have ideas for when he can show up in the story)

RilyJester In reply to Fig-Muffin [2008-05-06 01:19:24 +0000 UTC]
He can do either. His scythe can release bursts of stored up energy it gets when he steals someone's soul, but if it doesn't have enough he'll just swing it. As for hand to hand combat, he tends to bite or flip people over more than anything.

What exactly happens to the person's soul? Is it like destroyed once he uses it? Are there any limits to who's soul he can take or something? (sorry for so many questions)

RilyJester In reply to Fig-Muffin [2008-05-06 01:33:54 +0000 UTC]
Basically. Once he uses it, it's gone forever. And there are no limits; except for if Jersey can stop him (like, if it's someone important to Jersey, he can make Reaper stop).

Holy crap, Reaper's deadlier than I thought.
What would happen to Reaper if Jersey dies?

RilyJester In reply to Fig-Muffin [2008-05-06 01:42:07 +0000 UTC]
Reaper's immortal, but he's really content with Jersey being his host. But if Jersey were for some reason to die, Reaper would lose his form and become trapped inside of his scythe, until someone else found it. Then he'd take them over to be his host.

Intresting...what exactly IS Reaper? I've been wondering that. Just some kind of super-natural parasite of some kind? (not really worded well, but he's making me think that with the 'host' stuff XD)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
RilyJester In reply to Fig-Muffin [2008-05-06 01:55:16 +0000 UTC]
Yeah; he's pretty much a 'shadow parasite' as I call him. Whoever his host is, he becomes them and tries to do one of two things:
1) Drive them to the break of their sanity
2) Force them to do things that they would never normally do
(And now that I'm a Spider-Man geek, I must admit he's like Venom!)
