Niko Kalevi
-BASIC INFORMATION-
Full Name: Nikolai Devon Kalevi
Preferred Name or Nickname: Niko, Nik, Niki
Original/Canon: Original
Age: 19
Date of Birth: November 7, 1995
Main Character Classification - (List): Hybrid
Character Type: Half-Demon
Power(s): Note: Niko has just started practicing his powers and can't always control them well.
MINDREADING: Nikolai can read the thoughts of others, but he has to clear his mind, focus, and use a lot of energy to do it and he can't always do it at will. He also can't read the minds of demons, but he can read the thoughts of other hybrids. Creatures that are more psychically practiced than him would be able to prevent him from reading their thoughts if they wanted. Attempting to read the mind of a powerful creature, such as an angel, would cause him a lot of pain and discomfort. Generally, Niko's not very practiced at controlling this power so it generally manifests in one of two ways:
- Singular Thoughts: When Niko's mind is clear he will sometimes get a singular thought from a nearby creature. This can be a phrase, a word, an image, a sound, or a mix of several things. This can happen when Niko forcibly clears his mind and concentrates, but more often it happens when he's feeling relaxed and not thinking about anything in particular.
- Multiple Thoughts: When Nikolai is very upset or feeling overwhelmed, he will suddenly hear the thoughts of every creature in his vicinity. This is very disorienting, overwhelming, and painful and if he doesn't block out the thoughts in time he can fall unconscious or even have a seizure. There are also isde effects that occur afterwards, such as headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, general fatigue, and nosebleeds.
HEIGHTENED STRENGHT, SPEED, AND REFLEXES: Nikolai is more in control of these physical strengths than his mental abilities. Because he'd already been training them through sports for a time without realizing it, he already knew how to continue training these abilities once he found out about them.
- Speed: Nikolai has always been a ver fast runner without having to make an effort. When he began running competitively and training, this became a honed ability. When under stress, he unknowingly moves at unnatural speed. When he's focused or willing himself to be somewhere else, he can force himself to move inhumanly fast to get there.
- Strength: Normally, Niko isn't very strong, but when his adrenaline's pumping he gets quick bursts of unnatural strength. These last only for a moment and leave him exhausted and achy afterwards, sometimes to the point where he can't get out of bed depending on the amount of strain the sudden rush puts on his body. These feats are rare.
- Reflexes: He has always had good reflexes, naturally excelling in athletics. He has very good balance and very quick reaction times to things.
DEMON SENSE: Nikolai can sense when demons or people of demon lineage are in his vicinity, though he doesn't always know what he's sensing. To him, his attention is drawn to certain people.
DORMANT POWERS: These are abiliies he has inherited, but currently have not made an appearance. Nikolai cannot currently access these abilities at all. These powers could be accessed or expanded on, but a catalyst would be needed to trigger them.
- Telepathy: Communicating using thoughts; receiving and sending thoughts.
- Mind Control: Controlling the thoughts and emotions of others.
- Telekinesis: Moving objects with his mind.
Sexuality: Straight
Side(Good, Evil, or Neutral): He naturally drifts toward evil, but he has a desire to be good. These two sides of him conflict constantly, making it unclear which side he's on. This makes him neutral.
Hometown: Providence, Rhode Island
Current Residence: None

Eye Color: Green. Sometimes when his abilities occur they'll turn an unnatural shade of green or go completely gray.

He favors black, gray, and dark blue for colors, and has a skater-style wardrobe. He wears a lot of Etnies and Quicksilver. He sometimes wears beanies or baseball hats. He doesn’t own anything even remotely professional.

Personality (write a decent paragraph):
Nikolai has a very difficult personality, and most people don’t take to him. He’s a very insecure person and tends to over-compensate by being overly-confident and a bit of a bully. He picks fights with people for no apparent reason if he’s in a bad mood, and he’s always a bit of a smartass. His sense of humor has a bit of a mean streak and his jokes are often at someone else’s expense.
Nikolai had a difficult childhood, being constantly studied and prodded at. He’s very abrasive and doesn’t usually use his social filter. He also likes to think he’s tough for all the wrong reasons. He challenges authority and hates to be told what to do. He doesn’t think before he acts, which often gets him into trouble.
He doesn’t keep friends easily and has never had a steady relationship. The thought of getting close to anyone scares him deeply, so he avoids it.

History:
On November 7, 1995, a boy named Nikolai was born. He was left in a hospital’s emergency room. None of the patients or staff caught a glimpse of who left him, and his biological parents were never found. He was left in a car seat with a small note that said simply: This is Nikolai. Someone please take care of him. He was handed over to social services and adopted by Harold and Rita Kalevi. The couple had been trying to have a child for several years and were delighted to welcome baby Nikolai into their lives.
Nikolai was a very intelligent child, even in his early stages of development. He learned to walk and talk early, and was already reading when he entered kindergarten. In his early years, Nikolai excelled in school and was even skipped ahead in the third grade to the fifth. His parents were encouraged to enroll him in a school for gifted children, but they wanted him to have a normal life and be exposed to normal children. They didn’t want him to become conceited, or believe himself to be better than others.
Nikolai was very fond of sports. He played little league baseball as a kid and joined the track team in middle school. A natural athlete, he embraced his talents and enjoyed playing most sports.
As Nikolai reached puberty, he began having problems. He complained of nightmares and said he could hear voices. He also began to have nosebleeds and seizures. Personality changes were also noted, including poor social skills, bouts of depression, and mood swings. He was taken to the doctor and, after several tests, was diagnosed with epilepsy. However, when he was given medication for it he became very ill and experienced dizzy spells and fainting. His seizures continued, always accompanied by a hallucination. When epileptic medications failed and more tests were done, he was sent to a psychiatrist. He was then diagnosed with schizophrenia and, again, medicated. These diagnoses occurred throughout his adolescence and he became a disciplinary problem in school. His grades dropped and he skipped classes and started fights.
When he was fourteen, Nikolai experienced what was perceived by his doctors as a severe psychotic break. What actually happened was that he began experimenting with drugs. These affected the medications he was already taking, and his inherited abilities. While he was high at a party, he was overwhelmed by thoughts and images, and when people tried to help him he believed he was being attacked and lashed out, severely injuring several of his friends. Nikolai was admitted to an institution and, after spending several weeks there, all test results were inconclusive. He was taken off his meds and placed under observation. Even though he was still a disciplinary problem, all of his symptoms subsided when he was in a controlled, quiet environment. It was determined that his symptoms were caused by stress and social anxiety and he was released into his adoptive parents’ care.
However, once he was out of the hospital, Nikolai’s symptoms continued even worse than they had before. Fearing he’d be locked up again, Nikolai ran away at age fifteen and has been living on the streets ever since. It just so happened that around the time he went out on his own the world started going to Hell. Over the next few years as supernatural activity heightened and he became more and more aware of it, he figured out he at least wasn't a normal person.
When Lucifer possessed Sam Winchester, his presence was made known to the world and suddenly Niko found himself bombarded with the supernatural. As the Croatoan virus spread, the streets got more dangerous and Niko was rarely safe when he traveled. He was attacked by a horde of Croats one night in 2013 and, by all rights, should have been infected. He was rescued by a misfit group of creatures that included hunters, civilians, and a few demons and brought to Seguin Island, where it was discovered that he'd been infected with Croat blood. However, after a few days of waiting for him to turn, it became clear he wasn't infected by the virus. Through discussion and conversation, the group concluded that Niko was a half-demon.
Now that he knows his true nature he's started trying to hone his skills. He also has a bit of a safe haven on Seguin Island, though he still travels regularly.

RP Sample (required):
It was a fairly quiet night. The steady sound of his skateboard's wheels grinding on the sidewalk was the most obnoxious sound in the world when it was all he could hear. He pushed off the pavement with one foot to pick up speed and stood on top of the skateboard, gliding down the sidewalk toward wherever.
He was wearing a faded brown hooded sweatshirt over a black Bob Marley t-shirt. Mr. Marley's head was etched out in purple, along with an obligatory joint. His mom always hated that shirt.
Niko had just narrowly dodged an over-turned trash can and gotten back on track when a man appeared so suddenly in front of him that there was no way he could stop in time.
"Nyeeaaauuuh!"
He let out a weird, unintelligible cry as he lept off the skateboard. It kept rolling toward the man as Niko stumbled backward and landed on the sidewalk.
"What the fuck, man? Where did you even come from?" Niko said angrily.
The man chuckled and smiled down at him, holding out a hand.
"Sorry about that, sport."
Niko studied the man. He was probably in his forties, tall with white hair and a beard. He reminded Niko distantly of Santa Claus.
Niko stood and brushed himself off, not taking the man's hand.
"Yeah, whatever. Can I get my board back?"
Niko nodded toward the skateboard that had come to a stop in front of the man's left foot.
The man looked down at it like it was a pile of puke or something. What was his issue?
"This plank of wood on wheels?"
The man stepped on the corner of the skateboard to flip it vertically so he could grab it.
"Uh... Yeah, that's be the one."
Santa picked up the skateboard and examined it. He wrinkled his brows and looked at Niko.
"This thing's a deathtrap."
Niko smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
"Maybe that's why I like it. I've seen cars that are more dangerous."
Santa laughed, a raspy, gravelly sound that surprised Niko. He'd expected it to be more... jolly.
"Very true," the man agreed.
He took another moment to examine the skateboard, and for a second Niko thought maybe he'd jumped out at him on purpose and was about to mug him for his skateboard or something.
"It must take some talent to ride around on this thing," Santa observed. "Balance, reflexes, that sort of thing."
Niko scratched his head and shrugged.
"Yeah, I guess. I never really thought about it."
"I'll bet you have other talents, don't you? Maybe things a bit more... uncommon?"
Niko narrowed his eyes. Did this guy want a blowjob, or what? What was his problem?
"Uh... Not really. Look, can I get my board back or what?"
The man studied him for a few seconds and smiled.
"Certainly."
He held the skateboard out with both hands.
"By all means, take it."
Niko hesitated. There was something about this guy that was a little off. He reached out and took the skateboard quickly.
"Thanks."
He turned the skateboard around and dropped it back onto the pavement, turning to skate in the direction he'd come from.
A hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"Nikolai."
Niko's eyes widened at the sound of his name.
"Do be careful. You never know who you may run into if you're not paying attention."
Niko shrugged the man's hand off as soon as he'd loosened his grip and pushed off against the ground, skating as quickly as he could as his heart sped up.
The man watched him go with a smile.
