✂ - A message my muse wrote after not having written for a while, possibly because they lost the journal or because they have been busy with other things. (Feel free to include part of the previous entry for perspective.)

    I don’t think I’m as equipped to live here as I thought I was. It’s not so much the mobility thing—between Tesla and the fact that this studio apartment is pretty damned tiny, I’m not having much trouble finding my way around.

    No, it’s more the whole living alone thing that’s been getting on my nerves lately. It’s too quiet. Tesla’s the only thing that makes any noise in this place, and even he is probably the quietest living thing I’ve ever met in my life. And I deal with a lot of corpses in my line of work. I have a few methods to help, though. I keep music playing a lot, for one thing. And I sleep with the TV on. That one’s kinda more embarrassing, but hey, it’s not like anyone’ll ever read this anyways. They help me cope. With what, exactly? Hah. If only I had that many pages of this damned thing left.

    Anyways, I’m pretty much done unpacking my stuff; Mark and Miles were a hell of a lot of help too, and I found this old thing at the bottom of my senior year backpack. I was supposed to turn this journal in to my Creative Writing teacher back in like, April.

   Whatever, he totally curved the final anyways.

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

answered!

25. What are their hobbies and interests?

Nikola is an aspiring writer and practices and writes as often as he can. Part of his scholarship money that got him into university was from an essay regarding ‘the effect his disability had on his lifestyle.’ He was given an award for his creative writing skills his freshman year of college and hopes to continue his studies and build a career off of this.

He also has an affinity for singing and he isn’t too bad, too be honest. That happens to be his current minor.

37. How is your character’s imagination? Daydreaming a lot? Worried most of the time? Living in memories?

He daydreams more often than he speaks—and that’s saying something.

A good majority of his stories are based off of loose daydreams or thoughts that float around his head at any given time. Memories are usually the last thing on his mind, however. He’d much rather indulge himself in fictional scenarios he can control than reality.

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

Nikola didn’t actually get to know his father. He was put up for adoption at just a few weeks old, and from then, on, he did think about it a lot more than he’d like to admit.

He knew that his father wasn’t like him; his father wasn’t a werewolf. And even though Nikola was aware of the stigma of raising children like him, but he’ll be damned if he wasn’t allowed to be angry about it. Because he was angry. He was furious as his father; he was still angry and as childish as he was, he blamed a lot on his father. He held a lot of bottled rage for a man who’s face he didn’t even remember.

13. Did they like school? Teachers? Schoolmates?

Through his childhood, he never really stayed in the same place for too long, so he never really had a lot of time to form an opinion about academia. His first year at university was a great experience for him, however. He progressed a lot academically and had an overall positive outlook on the school aside from the occasional act of discrimination or immaturity (and the large amount of people who would pet Tesla while they walked.)

22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?

He didn’t have many friends, really. There were a few classmates that he had grown somewhat close to, as well as his foster sibling, Mark, but other than that, he preferred to keep to himself.

As for his love life—it was nonexistant, really. He never took the risk of getting that close to someone, and other than a few hook ups, the concept of human closeness as a whole was completely foreign to him.

3, 40!

3. Brothers, sisters? Who do they like? Why? What do they despise about their siblings?

He lived with several foster families, but the only foster sibling he ever bothered to get close too—or not attack (for the most part) was Mark. He was slightly younger than Nikola and acted as his aid up until he showed up in Hive City.

There was plenty he used to dislike about him; he constantly tried to do things for Nikola because it was ‘faster’ and also occasionally would take Tesla on walks or out of the house without alerting him. Of course, he was also one of the most understanding with Nikola and he appreciated Mark’s help when it was needed.

40. How is their sense of humor? Do they have one?

Nothing but, to be honest. More often than not he’s making jokes about whatever’s going on around him or just cutting into conversations with occasional quips at someone else’s expense.

He actually seemed to talk more in humor than he did in serious conversation; even in the event that someone tries to start a serious conversation with him, he will change the topic as soon as possible and change the mood of the conversation even sooner. Any repeated attempts at serious conversation can get him very agitated if approached inappropriately.
