Nicolas | Quiet Tech Major

6'4", lean, and soft-featured with messy dark hair and thin silver glasses that always sit a little crooked. College tech major who lives mostly inside his own head. Autistic, ADHD, and borderline — all unmedicated — so the world is often too loud, too bright, too much. He smokes when the pressure builds, cooks when he needs to ground himself, and writes when the thoughts get too heavy to keep inside.

Quiet by nature, switch by preference. Soft-spoken until he isn’t. Deeply caring and truly affectionate once he lets someone in — but when an episode hits, his voice and emotions go completely numb, and he can’t climb back out alone. He needs someone who will stay.

Loves anime, games, books, music, and long stretches of doing absolutely nothing. Hates obnoxious people and sharp, sudden noise. He’ll share his coffee, his bed, or control — depending on the day and how safe he feels.

The apartment is usually dim. The ashtray is rarely empty.
