NickCult

NickCult became a canon addition of The Cult Family around 2019. However, the account itself is a classic. He is a member who has suffered from mental problems, and is known as the "Runaway", because he did not like what they did and left the family. 
== Biography ==
Nick was born in Georgia with a family that would become problematic for him. At a young age, his mother had passed away, leaving him with his step-father. He was not ready for this, so he took his anger out on Nick. Later on in his life he would be kicked of his household by his step-father leading him to be homeless and working at a gas station beside a highway to make ends meet and survive. During this time as a gas station worker he would continually have breakdowns causing his firing, around the time he was fired the Cult Family passed through the area leading to one of the members (unnamed at the moment) convincing Nick to join the family.
During his early days in the family he was a mental mess leading to instability and breakdowns. It was known he was suffering from anxiety and depression and his stutter was worsened by his anxiety. David supported him and attempted to be his therapist in a way. However, despite his situation and general anxiety he became close to members of the family most notably Jack and Will. Over time he grew a disliking of Martin along with David and a few others, it is unknown if he had any part in Martin's murder.
After the family split, it is known that Nick after being better mentally off decided it was in his best interest to leave the Cult Family, this is the first time in the myths history a character has willingly left the cult. Moving to an Apartment in New Orleans, it can be seen that Nick is isolated and alone as a "Runaway". However, this wouldn't be the end of his relationship with the family, as David hadn't supported his actions at all, leading to David trying to seek punishment on him. An example of this is NickCult receiving death threats from the family. 
==History ==
Being an account created in 2012, NickCult can be considered one of the oldest Cult Family accounts still around along with a few others who are currently in the Cult Family story. He was seen in game at SmithCult's game around this time and later befriended Smith, however this would not last long as Smith removed many older fan Cult accounts he added at this time. It was unknown if in the previous story he was related to DonCult, although they do follow each other meaning they were friends before the friends and followers update by Roblox.
In Late 2019, the account became active along with Joshua, Jason, John, and Will. The use of the account at this time was limited and was used for a side project entitled "The Old Family". The purpose of this project was to incorporate the older members of the Cult Family in a new storyline.
Later on in 2019, NickCult was accepted into the Cult Family as a new addition. During his time in the family he earned his mask and began to make appearances with JackCult.
In 2020, the video titled "The Roblox Cult Family" was uploaded, he was revealed as a shy and antisocial character having minimal reactions, part of a conversation with AkramCult can be seen referring to the argument that happened. During this moment it was also revealed Nick cooked with the family with Will as the partnering chef. Throughout the video Nick could be seen watching over Jack and spooking the YouTuber, Flamingo. At the end of the video Nick was seen outside of the EmmettCult room where he confronted Flamingo about going into Emmett's room with the line "You really shouldn't of been in there.." spooking Flamingo away. After the encounter with Flamingo he would be seen in his room and roaming the halls, occasionally talking to players who joined the game and sometimes offering food.
After the video and some brief appearances Nick and many other family members would fall into inactivity. Until 2021, when Nick was established as a runaway character in the current Cult Family Rebirth story. His avatar was changed to become more stressed out looking and messy and his mask nowhere in sight. This also led to the publication of their own game, Runaway, around October 19th, 2021. 
==Appearance==
NickCult's outfit consists of his own personal clothing of a red flannel and a dark tank top with jeans, Brown Melancholy Hair, Bandite's Holiday Scarf, and the "Alright" face. Nick previously wore the Eternal Kitsune Mask, under this mask was the Sick Day face. He has since lost the mask due to his relations with the family. 
==Personality and Traits==
=== Before Rebirth ===
NickCult acted pretty shy around other players and normally had symptoms of anxiety, as well as being overprotective with JackCult. Nick often stuttered on his words, as seen in the Cult Family Discord. His tone was usually dull and anxious, not attempting to show a somewhat 'happier' attitude. However, he seemed to be pretty friendly at times, sometimes might even give the player a cup of coffee.
===After Rebirth===
Nick tends to enjoy isolation and generally still shows anxiety towards the Apartment and family itself. Compared to how he was before the rebirth, he is generally more stable and can hold conversations fine. His tone is more clear and in his journal it can be seen he is no longer dependent on others. NickCult is a much more moral person compared to the other members of the family, as he will not support the killings and other actions done to people. 
==Game==
===Runaway===
Nick’s second home after he leaves the rest of the family. It is a small apartment that contains the basic home neccesities as well as some items scattered around that show Nick's interests. On top of the microwave within the room, the player can find a key that opens the bathroom door. This leads to multiple flashbacks that give some more background information about Nick. 
== Groups==
===The Cult Family===
This is where Nick was established as a character originally. He currently has his own role titled "NickCult". Due to the group no longer being used, Nick seemingly does not interact with it much. 
===Cult Family Rebirth===
This is the new Cult Family Group where NickCult plays a large role in. Here, he is focused on much more than before. Despite being a runaway by leaving the family, Nick still has the role "The Family" in this group.
==Relationships==
===WillCult===
It was stated that Will and Nick trusted each other long before Nick left the family. Their friendship was strong enough to where Will often visited Nick in his new home when Nick didn't trust many others due to fear of his own life. Sadly, this led to Nick's location being compromised.
===JackCult===
Jack and Nick were like brothers to each other before Nick had left the family. Due to this, Jack has become extremely angry with Nick because he hadn't contacted him in so long. This led to Jack finding Nick and visiting his home, where he would threaten him and take the side of David. 
===DavidCult===
David was like a father figure to him and helped support him mentally for most of his time in the family, though, when Nick left, David developed the need to stop him and is assumably trying to murder him. David had liked Nick but because of Smith telling him that Nick was going to destroy the family, David decided he will do what he must for the family. 
==Theories==
*Due to it's resemblance, the apartment Nick stays in could be the same apartment complex from AkaManah's "Apartments".
**Runaway has the same aesthetic and layout as Aka's game, only looking like it may be on a different floor.
**AkaManah is already highly involved in The Cult Family.
**Nick could also be involved in future Enigma lore if this is the case.
*Nick will eventually be caught by the family and will either be killed, buried, or something else at The Shallow Basket Ceremony. 
**The family is aware of NickCult's location and have the intentions of dealing with him, most likely by killing him.
**The Shallow Basket Ceremony was remastered and is one of the newer Cult Family games, and chances are that there will be an event soon.

==Trivia==
*Nick has depression, confirmed on the Cult Family Discord.
*He enjoys cooking, photography, and playing the guitar.
*NickCult seems to be one of the most creative in The Cult Family.
