Name: Admiral Nikolas Breyden
Age: 30
Sex: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Physical Description: Niko is 6’6” tall and very well built. He works hard to keep his body in top physical shape so he can often be seen working out which leaves his body sculpted like a fine work of art. He has sandy brown hair and blue eyes. Living in the Nevada desert has given him a deep dark tan. He has two three trail claw marks down his back from a werewolf attack when he was 15.
Attitude: With the weight of the world on his shoulders, Niko is always thinking, calculating, planning and pondering the next move he needs to make to ensure Haven’s survival. He is a brilliant military strategist; which is why his father groomed him to be a leader and not a soldier. He still feels as though he must prove to his father that he can be both, even though he is dead.
Abilities: Niko has no super powers but he is an extraordinary strategist and a military genius. He is a natural leader, even if he doesn’t want to be.
History:Niko was born in Haven on the day of a massive zombie attack. His mother died in childbirth. His father was the leader of Haven at the time and did his best to raise Niko on his own. Niko never felt the nurturing of a mother and his father was the most important thing in his life. Making his father proud was the only way he could get his attention so he did his best to outshine all the other young men who were being groomed for military combat and the protection of Haven. But no matter what he did, he could not get his father to let him go out on city raids or to slay zombies. His father told him that he was going to be a great leader one day. Niko just wanted to be a soldier like his father was before the world went to hell.
When Niko was 15, he snuck out with a raiding party to New Vegas. While the raid was a success, the group passed through the undercity to get out. They were caught by a group of werewolves who had transformed into their lycan state that night. They tried to run but ended up having to drop their loads and run into the city for safety. Niko was badly wounded when a young werewolf tried to grab him as he ran and dragged his claws down his back.
While he was recovering in Haven, his father began watching and mentoring a girl. She was an orphan who had wandered into the town when she was very small. Niko was unable to do anything physical so he watched his father with this girl, training her, molding her into the soldier Niko wanted to be. Niko steamed with jealousy. Why couldn’t his father spend time with him like that? He was so jealous, he began working out before he was cleared to and ended up with pneumonia and nearly died. He noticed when he was near to death, his father was by his side but once they knew he would survive, his father was off seeing to that girls training again. Niko hated her. He would show her.
Once he was cleared to begin physical activity, Niko built a workout room and fashioned weights with the help of a blacksmith. He began working out and training religiously. He also dove into his studies and found that military knowledge made his father happy with him and made him spend more time with him. So he studied hard and learned everything he could. He also trained hard in hand to hand, marksmanship and demolition. He became what was essentially a super soldier by pre-apocalypse standards. As he trained he was in contact with the girl more and more. As he grew older, he stopped hating her because now he felt like he had bested her by getting his father’s attention back. That is until his father was killed in a zombie attack. The leadership of Haven was passed down to Niko. He didn’t want it but he knew he had to prove to his father that he could be everything his wanted him to be and more. To prove to himself that he didn’t harbor ill feelings toward the girl, who was now 15, he promoted her for heroism and felt that he made the right choice. He was 20 at the time. That was about the time he began to see her as a woman and not a child who was stealing his father. But, he was focused on taking care of Haven and making his father proud. That is his only concern…or is it?

Rp Sample: Nico’s bare muscles bulged and strained as he pulled his body up over the bar one more time. One arm behind his back, the other pulling himself up he counted, “47…48…49…” he grunted the numbers out through clenched teeth. “50” one more and he lowered his feet to the ground. He dropped his arm and shook it out before placing it behind his back and grabbing the bar with his other hand. He proceeded to do one armed pull-ups with that hand, once again counting to 50.
It must have been over 90 degrees this day and by the time he was finished, his body glistened with sweat and his hair clung to his head. He was hot. He slowly stepped out of the 3 walled building, dressed in fatigue pants and combat boots and headed for the water barrel. His muscles rippled as he took the long handled ladle that hung by the water barrel and dipped it into the cool water within. He drank deeply before dipping the ladle in again. This time he poured the water over his head. He sighed as the water cooled him and turned to return to his little work out hut and noticed he was being watched. “Can I help you General?” he asked with curious interest as he walked toward the hut, knowing she would follow. He picked up a woven towel and dried his hands so he could pick up the barbell lying in the middle of the small open room.
