overall personality: Nicholas is a very outgoing guy, he's far from shy and never hesitates to speak up when he has something he wants to say. He's very straightforward and speaks his mind quite often, he's one of those type that can come off as an ass at times, just because he usually has an opinion and wont hesitate to share it. He's definitely not known for sugar coating things, if you want the truth, he's the guy to get it from. He's usually extremely, sometimes even brutally, honest, with the occasional exception of personal details he rather not have known, or if someone tells him something in confidence, he's not going to go blurting it out across the world. He's a very trustworthy sort of guy, if he makes a promise he'll do everything he possibly can to keep to it as long as keeping it doesn't harm his family or friends in anyway. Basically in a short quick list of things he is; straightforward, honest, trustworthy, friendly(for the most part) and protective. Also, he has a soft, fun loving side as well. He's very gentle around kids, especially his own and can even be a push over at times, but he also knows when to put his foot down. [/i]

history:
childhood
Although born in Britain, Nicholas didn't really live there long. He was born to a couple in their late twenties, early thirties, their first and only child. His father used to be in the field of law and his mother worked out of home. Being the only child, you could say he was more on the spoiled side, though not nearly as bad as some. His parents were very loving and did everything with their child in mind, which made for rather peaceful younger years. He'd had the childhood most could only hope for, he got the love and attention he needed as a kid, sometimes even more then needed. Making friends for him was fairly easy in his early years, since he was far from shy, instead he was very out going and energetic, it wasn't until he reached middle school that he started having some difficulties in the friends department because of how opinionated he was. Not everyone liked the fact that he always had something to say, and he'd never hesitate to say it. But it was also because of this that he didn't get bullied like some kids, because he knew how to stick up for himself rather well. Basically his childhood years flew by rather smoothly without any major complications.
Teen years
Much like when he was a kid, things at home still flew by smoothly. When going into his freshman year of high school he was bullied and picked on, but nothing to drastic. It was when he was fifteen that he began riding, he had a friend who lived on the outskirts of town that owned a small family farm and then was when he learned to ride, riding being one of the few things he took seriously in his high school years. He began competing when he was sixteen, he started out riding western but slowly began to show interest in English as the years ticked on by. It was when he was eighteen, after already been riding both disciplines for a year now, that he finally began showing in English as well. Soon he began riding English more primarily and western mostly for fun, though still did the occasional competition here and there.
He rode mostly lesson horses most his life, his parents couldn't afford one for him at the time he'd began riding, so he'd received his first real horse when he was nineteen. An appendix who did both English, and western. By the time he'd graduated and made plans for college he had already made the decision that he wanted to do something with horses, even begun giving private lessons to beginner riders as he himself continued to learn.
Adult years
It wasn't until his early twenties that things started to get complicated for him, he'd gone to a nearby college, at the time having a girlfriend three years younger then himself who was still in high school. At the age of twenty one he had found out that the girl was pregnant, at the time he hadn't felt quite ready to grow up and he'd made a run for it. He continued to pursue his career he had made out of training horses, competing and giving lessons, using it as a distraction as well at the time. It wasn't until he was twenty three, his daughter two by that time, that he finally made a decision to get back in contact with the mother. He'd returned and they got back together and upon seeing his baby girl he instantly regretted his past decisions and vowed to be a part of the girls life and be there for her from then on out.
While making an effort to raise his daughter, he still continued to ride horses and even managed to score a job training at a nearby stable, he'd even began doing small clinics of his own as well as teaming up with other well known horsemen and women and did clinics with them as well. After him and his girlfriend being back together for a year and half, he'd decided to purpose. Although it was only weeks later that he'd caught her cheating on him and called it off, she tried to take Emily from him and go on her way but he fought for his daughter in court and got lucky, gaining custody of the girl. When he was twenty six, with the help of his parents he went back to college and got a degree in teaching, having ended up wanting to do something with kids after spending so much time with his daughter and seeing the joy she had brought into his life. He still continued to do stuff with horses, though that has become more of an on the side thing over the years, he is now an English teacher and still a single father. His parents helped him with Emily over the years and he stayed close by them most of his life until now, after receiving a job at RRA. [/i]
