## Biography

### Prologue

Nico was born in Zurich and raised in Geneva by his father Jonas and his mother Emilia. He was the eldest son out of 6 children, consisting of his older sister Angelika 3 years his senior, himself and his younger siblings Olaf, Elke, Ben and Paul.

When he was only 1 and a half year old, 3 months after his brother Olaf was born, delinquents burglarized his grandparents' house in Geneva before stealing his grandfather's guns to rob a nearby bank in which they were arrested by the police for robbery and sent to the juvenile detention center. Afterwards, he and his family decided to take refuge in Lyon, where the three learned French before going back to Zurich and their family leaving Switzerland for Sakurahama Island.

Instead of being born in Switzerland like her older siblings, Elke was born in that island, with her younger brothers Ben and Paul being born 2 years later. When Ben and Paul were only 3, their mother Emilia was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and the doctor told their father Jonas that she has only 3 years left. 2 days after the diagnosis, the latter had to quit his job, to take care of his wife full-time until her death 3 years later.

2 weeks after his mother's death, she was buried in Germany, and in the months following her death, her widower Jonas became alcoholic and began to beat up and yell at his father and youngest children, 16-year-old Nico came to defend them only to get yelled at and beaten up by him, causing rashes on his legs and arms, leaving him almost succumbing to anemia when his 19-year-old sister Angelika went home from high school at the time, her grandfather told her the truth about her father and asked her to call the police and ambulance.

Upon the police arresting Jonas for child abuse, and him losing custody of his six children, with his father getting legal custody of them and sold the house to a couple, who lived there with their children. As a result of his abuse, Nico was transported to the hospital and he needed a bone marrow transplant due to anemia, and his distant relative was chosen as the donor to give her bone marrow to him. After he was finally discharged from the hospital after 5 weeks, he came back to his siblings and grandfather, who all came back to Zurich, where they spent their last times with him before parting ways with each other. However, things didn't last long, as he got diagnosed with atypical depression and his grandmother Susanne took him to therapy in order to cope with his depression, but that didn't work, as it got worse day by day, disrupting his normal activities and leaving him bedridden for nearly a year.

After a year of getting bedridden, Nico recovered from his depression and transferred to a new high school in Geneva, where he was able to graduate with a diploma and got the chance to attend the University of Geneva in order to get a bachelor's degree at the age of 20. A week after his first day at the University of Geneva, before going back to his grandparents' house with his siblings Angelika, Olaf, Elke, Ben and Paul, only to find their father Jonas dead in his room and mourned him, even after he was buried in Basel and his father followed suit 1 year later, with him being buried in his birthplace of Schaffhausen and his wife mourning him as well.

A year after his grandfather's death, 22-year-old Nico was on a summer vacation and went to Liechtenstein on his own, where he visited the university and went to the ski resort of Malbun to practice skiing with his new friends. After a skiing session, they all went to a 3-star hotel to take a break until the two left the hotel and parted ways with each other before he left for Austria. While he was in Vienna, he was sitting in the bench and looking at the Danube at the same time writing his new novel, Yinuo walked in to look at the river as well. At first, he got confused and she introduced herself first before he introduced himself as well and she got impressed by the novel he was writing.

Upon looking at his new novel, Yinuo wanted to become a writer like him and asked him questions about Chinatown Heroes in which he didn't know about, with her explaining to him about the group before telling him if she could bring him to Sakurahama Island to meet the others, and he agreed to her offer. Once they were in the island, Nico wanted to see his old house and pay visit to the new owners, with her agreeing to let him go on his own. Just as he was walking to his old house, he saw the door completely unlocked, and behind the door was Yohana standing and one of the owners came crying to her, saying that her husband has been abusive towards and manipulating her to livestream online against her wishes, in which he threatened to kill her dog and treated her like a sex slave.

Yohana got enraged and advised the wife to find a lawyer, in which she found one and it was none other than Nico's older sister Angelika, who is in her mid-20s. She recognized him and to her surprise, it was her brother whom she haven't seen in the last 2 years and she was happy to see him again. Yinuo ran to the two of them and grabbed his arms back to Yingbang Chinatown, with him telling her that he forgot to say goodbye to his older sister. Once in the Chinatown, he arrived a few minutes late prior to Laila who had just arrived in time unlike him, and together, they all met Mingyu, Mochi, Chizuru, Hwayeon, Kiran, Iliana, Lolli, Yonako, Nagomi, Miro, Saphir, Adelia, Komuku, Pop, Nuri, Aguya, Xinyi, Tien and Lilin, for the first time.

Nico got shocked upon seeing the members of the Chinatown Heroes and asked Yinuo if he could say goodbye to Angelika, in which she agreed to her ire and he waved goodbye to her before going back to where he met the heroes, whom one of them took him and Laila in. The person who took the two in was Chizuru, who was a huge fan of his novels and wanted them to cosplay as her favorite characters, in which the two got confused and she gave them their cosplay costumes her mother made for her and them whilst keeping her costume for herself. The three looked perfect with their favorite characters and the Twitter post featuring them soon instantly became viral, which made him popular among the western and Japanese cosplaying community due to his attractive face.

After their cosplay went viral, Nico and Laila parted ways with each other, with her going on a mission to know more about the humans living in that Chinatown and him continuing to write his novel on his own, before going on a mission to rescue the Chinatown's artifacts.
