Nick Conrad

"A world without weaponry and war, where no one gets hurt, is but a pipe dream."
Nick Conrad is one of the former experiments of the SSS, and one of the antagonists-turned-main characters of Bonds: Retribution Prophecy.
== Personality ==
At first, Nick appears to be a playboy, who likes to flirt with girls. However, he is actually a kind and attentive person.
In the beginning, Nick wanted nothing to do with Elizabeth and the other experiments to the point where he even threatened her and insulted Oliver when they first met him. But as time went on he slowly started to see the value of forming a bond with the group to the point where he sees them as his family and even formed a special friendship with Wyatt along with forming a brotherhood with the other males. Eventually, he regards himself as the BloodBanners' "Big Brother" as he acts as a mentor to his teammates and looks out for their best interest at heart.
Secondly, Nick holds "beauty" in high regard and will compliment both men and women if they are pretty enough. Yet as a lover of beauty, Nick is naturally attracted to women and is often called a pervert. This is due to the fact that he is open and willing to show his perverted side to people. Thus with his playboy attitude, he flirts with every female he interacts with by using his looks, sweet words and gentlemanly actions and at times he makes slightly salacious and perverted jokes towards women including Elizabeth, in which gets him in trouble with Asher and Oliver most of the time. However, despite him being a pervert, he treats women with respect and whenever they're facing a crisis, he refuses to take advantage of them when they're in a vulnerable state and in most cases will always help or protect them which includes Elizabeth herself. Also, whenever a woman rejects his advances he will always stop whatever he's doing without hesitation showing that he understands what consent is.
In addition to, Nick loves going to brothels on his free time and has even invites Wyatt with him sometimes, although he doesn't really mean it because he's mainly teasing him. However, even in relationships, he dislikes being chased and prefers to be the chaser. Besides, his ideal type of woman is like Aom; a strong-minded, independent and courageous woman who is not scared of anything.
Additionally, Nick is not a vengeful person and doesn't even seek revenge on those who wrong him because he had decided long ago that he doesn't want vengeance to consume him. Despite his troubled past he still has a positive outlook on life and tries to live life in the fullest. This shows his strength in character for which it means that even though he became a victim of circumstance, he decided not to let it consume him, but instead move past it and live a happy, care-free life.
In addition to, Nick has a calm and levelheaded personality and he rarely loses his temper except for a few times depending on the situation since he doesn't like conflict at all and tends to avoid it as much as possible. Also Nick isn't as hot-blooded as the rest of the men in his group and even at times he has had to hold them back from fighting unnecessary battles that could lead to war and is usually the most calm during those times. Thus, this aspect of his personality has made him wise in terms of keeping calm in certain dangerous situation that the group has faced and Wyatt has come to admire him for that because he's willing to put aside his own personal feelings for the greater good.
His age and experiences have made him wise, perceptive and an emotional intelligent person which makes him have a better understanding of everyone and can easily see the big picture. Often times, he uses his observations as teases –especially to Wyatt who is affected the most– but he also gives them out as an advice to everyone. This observation also helped him to understand Oliver better to point where he even apologized to Oliver about what he said to him when they first met about being a puppet for the SSS once he realized the hardship that Oliver went through himself. Then he could recognize as well as have better understanding of people's feelings a lot better than most members of the BloodBanners. Also, Nick has a humor side to him as he openly admitted that he likes teasing those who are younger than him and doesn't get mad or upset if people insult or tease him back. Nick is a very caring person and will help someone in need. He also looks out for his teammates best interest at heart.
== Relationships ==
=== The BloodBanners ===
==== Wyatt Finn Sora ====
Wyatt is Nick's best friend. Wyatt is one of Nick's favorite targets for teasing. Additionally, Nick is protective of Wyatt and doesn't want to see him get hurt and this is shown multiple times.
It's later revealed that at some point Wyatt came to admire Nick's calm and collected aspect of his personality. And the fact that he never would act on his own bitterness and contempt in certain situations and letting it cloud his own intuition.
=== The SSS ===
==== Oliver Richards ====
Initially, when they first met Nick praised Oliver's appearance saying that he (Oliver) was nearly as attractive as he (Nick) is. However, Nick and Oliver's relationship didn't start smoothly because of how Nick sees the latter as the SSS' mindless puppet. He ridicules his relationship with Elizabeth and thinks of it as nothing but a tragedy.
==== Elizabeth ====
Despite finding her cute and her presence hard to resist, he still acts menacing towards her. Though when he gets to know Elizabeth contrary to what he originally thought she would be, and seeing how she is a risk-taker, this becomes the reason why he starts to trust her and watches over her.
Nick treats Elizabeth differently than the other women he comes across because unlike how he flirts with other women, Nick mostly uses his sweet talk on Elizabeth for the sake of teasing Oliver and Asher. Additionally, Nick will make slightly perverted comments and jokes towards Elizabeth who doesn't understand sexual innuendo due to her innocent nature, and which always made Wyatt hit him for it. However he never actually acts on those comments because he's mostly joking around.
