### Episode Eliminated In

An Anne-tastic Game of Capture the Flag (SS)

## **Appearance**

Nicolás is pretty average in height, reaching 5'7" (170cm) tall, though he's incredibly scrawny and clearly not meant to be in many physical situations. He's slightly tanned, with long, wavy, brown hair, and brown eyes that hide under a pair of large glasses. His typical attire consists of a blue hoodie, which happens to make him look a little more muscular than he actually is, white trousers, and black and white sneakers. He has some slight stubble on his chin that just makes him look even more awkward.

## **Personality**

Nicolás is incredibly shy, having a hard time voicing his opinions on certain things and preferring to let others speak over him. He will have an occasional burst of energy here or there, which is seen in "An Out of this World Encounter Part 2" when he manages to grab Jianne and Taylor's attention by yelling at them. Underneath the shyness, he's also shown that he's a very kind and sweet individual, noting that he was upset about Taylor's early departure. This also benefits those who want to take advantage of him. He'll help people out when he can, even if they aren't on the best terms with each other, as seen in "A Shady Deal," when Thomas threatens him to make L.I.N.K.. He's relatively squeamish as well, freaking out and panicking easier than other contestants have.

## **History**

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 1

Nicolás was one of the final astronauts to reveal themselves, having been right before Taylor. When he takes his helmet off, he's shown to be super nervous, and finds himself at a loss for words in front of everyone. Chris immediately notes him as a shy guy.
He was placed on the Cosmic Guppies when Chris announced the teams.

Though not shown in the episode, when everyone is picking their rooms, Nicolás ends up next to Luna's room and across from Taylor's.

### An Out of this World Encounter Part 2

Nicolás was much more prominent in this episode than the first, being with Taylor during the entire challenge. He, Taylor, and Jianne are the first to be shown searching for the medallion, all three of them in the cafeteria. He searches under tables and chairs, but after a while of searching, he notes that it may not be in that room. Taylor has a hard time hearing him, which causes Jianne to start arguing with her about her being a bad listener. He tries to get them to calm down, before ultimately yelling at them to get them back on track, which worked.

Soon after, he has his first, and only, confessional session, where he talks about how he's proud of himself for doing that. Taylor, who's in the confessional right after him, notes that she's starting to like him for that.

In the second half of the challenge, he starts with Damien and Taylor by his side, asking them what to do, as it was "kind of hard to search for people in such a big room." After Taylor yells out loudly, he jumps into a bush, asking her why she did that.

When Vicente and Dusty arrive on the scene, Nicolás helps his two teammates get the former stuck to the ground. Though Damien, who got stuck to a tree, pleads for assistance, Nicolás instead follows Taylor's orders to chase after Dusty.

He and Taylor finally catch and slime Dusty after she had got March. Immediately after, he notices Alexis and alerts Taylor of their final enemy. As they go to slime her, Jianne appears and blasts at her as well, though when she cleverly dodged the slime, Nicolás was hit in the foot by Jianne's blast. Taylor jumps to his defense after this, arguing with Jianne before blasting her and getting her out, while getting outed by Alexis herself.

He was the final Guppy in the challenge, though his nervousness stopped him from getting Alexis out as she outshot him and won the challenge for her team.

At the elimination ceremony, he was seated between Jianne and Taylor, looking a little nervous as they glared at each other.

When Chris announced the rules of elimination, Nicolás was frightened by the thought of never being allowed back.

He's the final Guppy to accept a marshmallow before the bottom two, though he doesn't catch it with much bravado.

When Taylor ultimately ended up being eliminated, Nicolás was very upset, as he had lost his one friend.

Nicolás voted for Jianne in the elimination ceremony, along with Taylor, Sebastian, and Haley.

### Mini-Episode: A Shady Deal

Nicolás was one of the main characters in this mini-episode, along with Thomas. He was being intimated to help the latter with something at the start, which he spent all night doing. Afterward, it turned out to be the L.I.N.K. app, which was meant to use for spying on people through their devices. Later, it was revealed that he made the app on his own device as well, though it isn't clear what he's using it for.

### Moon Rockin'

Nicolás is seen eating with the rest of the Guppies and get offended when Luna calls him useless.

During the challenge, when everyone is looking for Jianne, he points out that there are only five minutes left.

He and the rest of the Guppies cheer when Jianne wins the challenge for them.

### An Anne-tastic Game of Capture the Flag

Nicolás is first seen getting a staredown from Chef before the challenge begins, which made him nervous.

When the challenge was announced, Nicolás was chosen as on of the flag thieves for the Guppies.

He's next seen trying to sneak around Vicente and get his flag. He was undetected for a little bit, but he tripped over a chair and got himself found out. Vicente then said he wasn't trying hard enough and blasted him with slime, causing him to run away and scream.

Later, he manages to sneak behind Dusty without getting caught, but she hears him step on something before he can nab her flag, and gets slimed yet again. He, once again, ran away, screaming.

He then happens upon the aquarium room, still with slime on his face from the other two. When Crustacean aims her gun at him, he begs her not to shoot, but she ignores his pleas and blasts him to the floor.

In the elimination ceremony, he still had slime on his face from before. He appeared confused that he was in the bottom two, and unsure of what to think.

When he was eliminated, he left without a word, though he seemed pretty upset about it.

Nicolás voted for Luna in the elimination ceremony, though no one else did.

### Space Monkey, that Funky Monkey

Nicolás was briefly mentioned in Chris's recap as having a difficult time getting a flag. His elimination due to Luna was also touched on.

### Mini-Episode: Sparring Partner

Nicolás is briefly mentioned as being "too scrawny" to be Haley's training partner.

## **Relationships**

### Taylor:

Nicolás and Taylor are good friends, having been close to each other since "An Out of this World Encounter Part 2." He was upset about her elimination, and found himself having a hard time socializing after she left.

### Thomas:

Nicolás fears Thomas in direct relation to being threatened by him in "A Shady Deal."

### Luna:

Nicolás doesn't much care for Luna, due to her causing his elimination in "An Anne-tastic Game of Capture the Flag."
