Nick Dakid

Nick Dakid is one of the main characters of A Normal Day and is a member of The Chaos Council.

## Background

Nick Dakid is one of the six main characters along with Dom, Omar, Marc, Timmy, and David. Nick first appeared in Season 1 Episode 1, "The Pilot", along with the 5 other main characters. In the episode, Nick helps Dom and his friends try to hijack The School's orientation to announce the formation and goals of The Chaos Council.  Since then, Nick has been an optimistic yet tragic major character in the series. It's established in the first season that Nick's a homeless orphan, but the reasons for his situation isn't revealed until Season 6. In Season 3 Episode 1, Dom's Origin Story, we learn that Nick was one of the first kids to join The Chaos Council along with Omar, Marc, and David. Despite Nick not having parents, he isn't completely alone and has made many allies including his best friend, Marc. On the other hand, Nick is one of the most hated kids in the school, and his often made fun of for his homeless orphan status. But despite all of this, Nick still keeps a smile on his face and remains one of the kindest best characters in the series, despite having several flaws.

## Personality

In simple terms, Nick is optimistic, unhinged, energetic and the slightly annoying yet fun-loving person of the group. Even when others feel down, Nick surprisingly is usually the one to see things in a positive light. Despite his economic status and nonexistent family, Nick isn't malicious or evil like some may assume. Instead the opposite is true, and his predicament actually turned him into one of the nicer characters in the series. Nick is almost never judgmental of others and understands people like Dom and David even if he doesn't always agree with them. In Season 7 Episode 3, "David's body pillow", Nick is the only one in the group to not make fun of David when they learn he has a "waifu", despite everyone else being weirded out . Nick is also surprisingly generous and selfless, often sharing with his friends what little stuff he has. Nick is very empathetic towards his friend's issues and tries to help them out, but he often doesn't know how. In Season 10 Episode 3, "David the Traitor!", Nick tries to destroy the group chat that The Traitors have been using to blackmail Dom, but he has no idea how and needs help from Marc and Nelson. Nick isn't usually seen as a leader and is more often following along with other people's plan (mainly Dom). Even though Nick is capable on his own (he did survive for years as a homeless orphan), most of the time he needs help from his friends like Dom and Marc whenever he has a problem. Nick can occasionally get insecure about this, like in Season 14 Episode 6, "Nick vs The Popular Girls", where Nick avoids getting help from Dom and Marc when the school tries to execute him.

Nick is surprisingly caring towards animals, like when he freed a parrot he befriended in Season 4 Episode 9, "Chaos Council at the Zoo". The absence of any kind of family in his life can sometimes cause Nick to become emotionally unstable. Nick claims he likes not having parents because he gets to be free, but this is probably just how he copes with the absence of his mom or dad. Nick is still very unsure and insecure about who is or where he came from, especially when people make fun of him for it.

Despite Nick usually being a very caring person, his status as a homeless orphan can sometimes cause him to become jealous of others, which leads him to do selfish things. He is no stranger to stealing, but this can be understandable considering he only steals food which he has no other way to obtain. In Season 1 Episode 2, "Nick the Snack Dealer", Nick uses the snacks he stole to start a snack dealing business. This turns south quickly however, and Nick becomes consumed by power after he finally gets some money, something he's rarely ever had and always wanted. Nick is also easily manipulated to do questionable things, like in Season 2 Episode 5, "Nick's Prom Problem", where Dom convinced Nick to help him ruin the school prom. But Despite Nick doing several morally unethical things throughout the series, and even though he never had any parents to teach him right from wrong, Nick still has a strong yet messy moral compass. In Season 1, Nick is against Dom when he wants to use their new found powers to fight and later take over the school.

Arguably Nick's funniest yet worst trait is that he's a total creep, more so than other character (besides maybe Cyle in Season 17). Nick has been called several times the most "down bad" kid in town, and he earns that label. Nick wasn't always like this however, and it these traits of his began to show up in Season 4. In Season 4 Episode 3, "Dom and Omar Adventure", Mikey calls Nick gay because of how much he hangs out with Marc. Nick doesn't know what this means at first, but after looking it up on the internet, Nick decides to become the least gay person in the school. In the following episode, "Nick's New Obsession", Nick begins liking a character named Missy, the leader of The Popular Girls. Nick starts acting weird and slightly perverted towards Missy throughout the episode, and this comes to head when Missy decides to beat up Nick in front of the entire school. But this backfires when Nick starts to take great pleasure in his beating. Since this episode, Nick's creepy traits are most often played for laughs, but sometimes it gets more serious like when The Popular Girls tried to execute him. Nick's behavior may be weird and unhinged Nick's at times, but it goes deeper than him just being horny. Nick never had a mother or anyone to teach what is okay and what's not, so it makes since why he would act this way towards people. Nick's sheer creepiness likely stems from the emotional trauma and absence in his life due to never having a family. He even calls his crush Missy "mommy", which at first seems like just a creepy nickname Nick calls her, but it becomes depressing because Nick never had a "mommy". But overall, despite his tragic origins, Nick still tries to have fun and keeps being optimistic.
