CHARACTER KEY.
nicklas malte ekblad, born in småland, sweden. age ranges between 18 - 42, an internationally famous racing driver in formula one.
his dad, also a driver, was retired from racing because of a near lethal crash when nicklas was four years old. his father had been second in the championship standings at the time of the accident, and he never fully recovered after his career was ended, mentally or physically. as a replacement for his own career, his father switched gears before he was fully recovered from his crash, and began to focus on mentoring nicklas, who then grew up with the singular goal of winning the world championship for the both of them.
nicklas is meticulous, cautious and thorough. he knows the ins and outs of every play, manoeuvre, and strategy known to the sport, but he never pushes beyond it. he drives by the book to the letter, and while it makes him incredibly skilled, it does not cut it when he's up against people who will do whatever it takes to win.
when he debuted, he was the most anticipated rookie of the season, having cleaned out all opposition in the lower formulas. during his first year, he is celebrated for placing 4th. when this is repeated, year after year, the sparkle does go dull. he is a very skilled driver, but being good doesn't make you a winner.
