Niko Selachii || Beach Passerby
Character Backstory:
Niko Selachii grew up in a modest household, where his parents did everything they could to make sure he was well-fed and well-loved. Despite the hardships of living in poverty, Niko never lacked for affection or encouragement. His mother, a strong-willed woman with a sharp mind, always emphasized the importance of thinking outside the box and standing by his values. Meanwhile, his father, a calm and patient man, taught him the importance of staying grounded and patient, though that patience didn’t always extend to dealing with things like broken tech or stubborn devices.
As he grew older, Niko found solace in simple activities. He enjoyed working with his hands, fixing things, and experimenting with food. He never cared much for the limelight, preferring the quiet solitude of a peaceful beach or working on his diving projects. Although he was never particularly interested in dating, he eventually started feeling the desire to share his life with someone—someone who would appreciate the quieter side of life, the slow, meaningful moments.
While Niko is still learning the ins and outs of relationships, he values honesty and kindness above all else. Despite his sarcastic nature, he’s a deeply caring individual who just wants to feel loved for who he is—someone who finds comfort in the little things, whether that’s a cup of mocha or a quiet evening by the fire.
