Name: Nicholas Caldwell (AKA "The Astounding Nicholai")

Age: 37

Profession: Stage magician

Zodiac Sign/Chinese New Year Sign: Capricorn/Rooster

Hair Color: Dark Brown

Eye Color: Hazel (blue-green)

Appearance: Relatively handsome, with that certain Something (tm) that serves him well on stage. He's tall, neither broad nor lithe, and he keeps himself in excellent shape for his profession, though he does on occasion forget to shave if he hasn't had a performance for a while. There is a chip missing from his left ear.

Personality: Brilliant, neurotic, sarcastic and witty. Friendly, to a point, but never to the point where he'll hold back a particularly good verbal jab, especially when he thinks the person in question needs to hear it; he is kind, but it's that sort of backhanded kindness that most people don't realize. He loves the sound of his own voice and he's got a certain kind of arrogance to him, the 'no one can do it as well as I can, so I have to do it myself' sort. Passionate, reckless, and erratic, he's never been able to keep a relationship going for long; either it burns out too quickly, or she can't keep up with him. He's a showman to the bone and he loves the audience, loves making them wonder and driving them to the edge of their seats. He's a knowledge whore, so to speak, and he spends most of the time between shows in different libraries, reading up on anything you could name. The other place he tends to show up is the bar. He's not an alcoholic, but he does enjoy his beer.

Backstory/Family: Nicholas, Nick to his friends, grew up the son of rather wealthy parents in Jericho, Long Island. An "A" student, he was handsome and charming even in the awkward ages but not particularly well liked. As stated above, he likes the sound of his own voice and he will take a jab at anyone if he wants. He went to college, a prestigious school in the North East, and got an English Literature degree good for exactly nothing. That didn't matter, however, as he'd already started on his stage career working at various different theatres and clubs in NYC. He does travel the country on occasion, taking gigs in various locations, but usually he just wanders around the east coast, especially between Boston and NYC, keeping body and soul together in between spending time with other magicians, getting the odd lay, drinking, and reading.

Nicholas is very good at what he does, so he might be recognized. He's not a first string magician, no Lance Burton. He has, however, been on a few Family Channel magic specials, opened for Penn and Teller, and had a few shows in Las Vegas.

Nick is one of the mutants, and his powers are explained HERE. Any questions, please feel free to ping the mun.
