Nico is Beeks

Perry the Platypus in front of the gay & trans flags

A page totally not written by the Author himself about himself. Nico is the core creator of Western Universe and holds all creative power over it. He takes inspiration from many different sources, and bounces ideas off of others, so he hates to call it entirely original - he doesn't like to see himself as a one man crew (unless we're talking about credit - "I promise I'm not egotistical").

## History

Born in the United Kingdom, Nico started creating stories at a young age. Writing and creation, fictional characters and world-building alike, has always been his passion and ever since Primary School has received praise for his creativity, several people making remarks that his future would lead to a career in acting or writing.

Growing up as a gifted-kid with ADHD, Nico was often found in his head instead of his work, but made leaps and bounds in his youth nonetheless, only burning out in the past few years. Burnout, however, did not stop him from creating Western Universe, which he widely considers his best work to date, and his 'creative lovechild'. The golden child of his original creations.

## Relationships

In and around mid-late 2018, Nico met Hieronymous (Hiero). Over time their relationship built into a lasting friendship, and in mid 2020 something more, which boomed over the discovery of their shared creative passions, and eventually the creation of their first fully fleshed out original characters.

Hiero has been a solid fixture in Nico's creative processes ever since, the two often turning to one another to share ideas, bouncing off of each other and creative a multitude of shared original universes. During the process of Western Universe coming to life Hiero was an important piece in Nico's process, often giving advice and opinion on several questions brought to xem.

Early 2020, Nico met Nexus on a popular Harry Potter amino. Originally, the two hit it off as friends in a group chat full of other people, but as the density whittled down the two grew closer and eventually became something more meaningful. Due to the nature of the amino, Nico and Nexus had already begun to create ocs and storylines together long before Western Universe, growing even closer because of that fact, and because of inside conflict within their group of friends.

Eventually, at some point around late 2020-early 2021 the group disbanded, yet the two stayed together. Nexus at some point became the third to Nico and Hiero's relationship, making the 3 of them a trio of creativity, shared inspiration and companionship.

## Western Universe

Western Universe was created on 10/10/2021 by Nico when he became fixated on the popular Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption 2, which he was due to receive for his birthday 8 days later (18/10). Originally, he started with base inspiration, creating the Gray gang in which his first oc, Arthur Preston, resided. At some point, another source of inspiration made it into mind, and so came the creation of vampires, and Arthur's most crucial arc. From there the idea grew wild and out of control, more supernatural beings made their way into the universe, even joined by new and semi-original races created from the recesses of Nico's mind and outside mythological inspiration.

His first intention when creating Western Universe was to keep it in the 'old west' (1899) but with a creative mind that tends to spiral into different genres after enough time has passed, it lead to new important timeframes coming into existence all down the timeline, most notably 2020. Somewhere along the line Western Universe no longer fit what the universe really was, so instead it became Western Society Universe, so that the Western Universe name could still be used in reference.

## Note

"Fellas, is it narcissistic to create a page about yourself on your original fandom" - Nico

I've been told it isn't, so I'll trust that for now. I did indeed write all of that out myself, as if I was talking about a different person, but what the hell! I thought it would be cool.
