PERSONALITY
At turns charming, spoiled, opinionated, and mercurial. Nicky can strike up a conversation with just about anyone and, when the mood is right, leave that person feeling like they were the only soul in a crowded room. He has the benefit of confidence, bred from an easy life and the detriment of never having to fight for anything. He's a romantic at heart and sensitive though these qualities aren't always on display. In fact, people are more likely to label him as shallow than be pressed to work through a few indulgent layers of immaturity and excess. To those he loves, he is even more of a chore, but then he is also there most ardent supporter.

BACKGROUND / BIO
triggering / sensitive content warning: death, car accident
There was a proverbial silver spoon born in the mouth of every Quinn sibling. For Nicholas, it was a pity they didn't use it to shut him up. He was born with the privilege to choose any path in life, to choose multiple if the fancy took him. He was, in turns, too inquisitive and too unmotivated to make anything of himself. He took some interest and pride in his skills playing piano, but beside that was content to glide through his studies with mediocre results. Trouble had a tendency to glide off him when he flashed a smile. It was always - 'tomorrow I'll do better' or 'please don't be mad'. While he could fool those outside his family, it wasn't so easy to pull the blinds over his family. His father in particular. Even still, a few strongly worded lectures weren't going to turn him around.
He turned to theater in high school, staring in several plays throughout his years there. It was his junior year when he fell for the transfer student, Leo. They were an inseparable pair for the remainder of his schooling, meeting between the soccer pitch and rehearsals. Graduation granted Nicky a conditional freedom, his eighteenth birthday an unconditional one. He moved to Boston with Leo and spent the next five years moving between hobbies and careers. Eventually, he realized he had a knack and an appreciation for giving orders. (A trait rather obvious to those around him.) He managed to bypass entry level jobs and grunge work and apprentice under the manager of a five-star hotel in Boston. The work was simple enough. All it required was an eye for luxury, detail, and charm. He excelled.
He was twenty-five, near on eight years into loving Leo when a patchy bit of ice sliced him right out of his life. He'd describe it - to this day - as if he'd lost a limb. Years and years later, he could still feel the pain like the dull beating of a drum. He learned that he was rather stubborn afterward, refusing to give up on Boston and her frost-lined streets, her brick buildings and hallowed harbor. He went on living there for several more years until news of more death was dropped at his doorstep. This time his grandmother and his thoughts drifted to Elise and his siblings; to kinder memories.
He returned home. Not, he would say, to support his siblings but to lift their spirits. (Who after all, wouldn't be happier with him around.) One month turned into two, and then he was apartment hunting downtown. He managed to find himself a job as the hotelier for the Brownstone Inne and within days garner a hasty reputation as an exhaustive and capricious boss. He had partners for a night, friends for the week, and siblings for the weekends.
He's filtered out years like this with little thought to change, or to the idea that he once had an idealistic heart.
Nicholas (he/him, cis man) was born on July 26, 1988 in Merrock, Maine and is local, returning in 2020. They prefer to be called Nicky, work as a hotelier at Brownstone Inn, and their stomping grounds are the downtown area. (Sam Reid; Kate | she/her | EST). FILLING CONNECTION: Quinn sibling.
