**Nika Cyrus or MC (Main Character)** is the main protagonist of Summer's Gone and a new Student at ZPR University, Even though Nika is the Main Character's default name, the player can choose their own desired name when starting a new game.

In Chapter 2 his default last name is revealed to be "Cyrus", when Amber Von Halen, a psychologist by profession, asked him if his last name was Cyrus when he becomes her patient in therapy.

He lives on the east side of the town of Wollust in the rural area near the lake.

A new student at ZPR University and newest member of the basketball team (alongside his teammate Jeffrey, Trey, Damian), Nika's experiences at ZPR are largely dependent on choices the player makes that will ultimately shape his personality.

## Appearance

Nika is an 18-year-old teenager, he is one of the tallest people in the game (see reference 6), has a messy black hair with green eye and three moles on his face, thereafter he sports a well groomed long-top haircut, he has a slender body with good genetics allowing him to quickly develop his muscle mass at the start of the adventure which will help him overcome the sporting events in front of him if he gives himself the means.

He is initially mocked for his "weirdo" look due to his psychological issues which makes him seem like an emotionless being, but ends up intrigued by people who hang out with him after his makeover, most of the college girls seem to take a liking to him. Even Bella Von Halen will say so in half-words.

Nika is well-endowed, which will start to earn him a reputation with the girls, especially after the rumor of the affair with Robin in the women's restroom.

## Personality

Despite the fact that Nika's personality can change depending on the player's choices during the adventure, he still keeps some traits specific to his personality regardless of the player's choices.

Nika is a teenager who is considered a lost soul after having lived through a horrible past which occasionally tortured his mind. After the loss of his childhood sweetheart Summer, Nika starts having trouble recovering for several years until reaching his 18th birthday. With college starting soon, he says to himself that an opportunity of recovery would be possible, even if he must go beyond his comfort zone at the risk of being prone to many anxiety attacks. He will keep his inner demons to himself, despite the scars that will forever haunt in his mind from his past events.

Despite everything, Nika has a natural charisma before his trauma, it was said that he was likely to be a leader, especially when he played basketball. He is a manipulative and observant person by nature, which allows him to identify the slightest things quite easily, such as exploiting people's weaknesses who seek to challenge him, for example.

Moreover, with his trauma, he does not have the same receptivity as the majority of people. He is not attracted by trivial things such as popularity, reputation, or the person's attractiveness and physique. To him, despite suppressing his feelings and emotions, it mostly acts as a defense mechanism to protect himself from others. Only at the beginning of Chapter 4 that will he start to open up to others, although this is done while overcoming some difficulties and with some anxiety attack in the process.

## Background

When he was young, Nika was very sociable and rowdy. He really liked to play sports and play video games despite the bugs.

He had a fairly normal childhood at first glance living with his hosting family alongside Nojiko Cyrus who will be his landlady and his roommate Nami Cyrus they will spend several years alongside their neighborhood doing meetings which for the most part will mark them for the events to come in their lives such as Summer & Elsa D'Uclaux de La Valette everything goes well until the case of the cabin with the arrival of the police officer and the disappearance of Summer which will mark forever Nika who will try her best to fight is missing which created the gaping hole which has just opened in her heart.
