## History

### Early Life

Nicolas Winchester was born to Alya Winchester, mortal woman and Uranus, primordial Lord of the Sky in Saint Paul, Minnesota on December 18, 2004. Alya  lived a normal life in an apartment in Minnesota Since she was a child, she had a thing for flowers and so when she grew up, she became a florist in her very own shop. Uranus just happened to pass by the cozy-looking flower shop, which caught his attention. He entered the shop and there were a lot of customers. The people loved the flowers Alya sold. But the thing they loved most was her sweetness. She was really good with customers. Upon seeing Alya, Uranus immediately felt attracted to her. He, not really intending to buy flowers, grabbed a random bouquet and went to her saying he'd take it. After he paid for it, he gave her the bouquet. She was actually shocked and at first she thought he was just joking but he said that it was really for her. That was how they met.

They dated for a few months and then we all know what happened next. When Alya found out she was pregnant, she never got the chance to tell Uranus since, like other deities, he immediately left after the thing between them happened. It saddened Alya, of course, but it did not stop her from raising the child. She told Emily, her sister, about the baby. She was actually happy for Alya but also felt quite envious since she'd been married to her husband, Mark Winchester, for years and yet they didn't have a child. Nine months later, the baby was born but unfortunately for Alya, she died of giving birth. Her death gave Emily too much sorrow. They were really close. They were like best friends and sisters at the same time. The baby was just given to her and her husband. She'd gladly raise the boy for her sister. They named him Nicholas

### Childhood

Emily and Mark told Nicholas at a very young age that they were just his aunt and uncle. They didn't want him to live in a lie thinking they were his real parents. They also lived in an apartment and were actually Alya’s neighbors. Nicholas was a simple kid but for some reason, he preferred to stay inside the house. He was a wallflower. Even at school, he'd just stay quiet and sit on a chair somewhere at the corner. There were times when he actually wanted to play with the other kids and good thing they were kind enough to let him. So he made a few friends. He had a thing for spiders. Those were the things that interested him the most. He'd spend his leisure time studying them. His classmates started to find him weird

### The Monsters start coming

He encountered his very first monster attack when he was ten. It was a hell hound that attacked him when he was on his way home. Thankfully, a satyr came to the rescue and gave him a Celestial Bronze broadsword. Nicholas's instincts just acted up and told him to slash and stab the hell hound. He and the satyr fought the hell hound together until it disintegrated into golden dust. Nicholas was in so much shock that he could not even speak. The satyr just tried to calm him down and told him everything then he asked Nicholas to come with him to camp. Nicholas refused and insisted that he needed to finish his studies first. Of course, the satyr respected that but he was actually scared for the young one. But since the satyr looked as young as Nicholas, he just decided to go to school with him so he could protect Nicholas every time a monster attacks

When he was twelve, one time, students at the age of seventeen or sixteen bullied him just for fun. They were bored after all. Of course, Nicholas was scared and didn't know how to fight back so in the end, he got beaten up until he was too weak and got unconscious. The senior students weren't satisfied with it, The senior students weren't satisfied with it, they even went to the sea and threw his body there then left. By the time Nick was thrown, he opened his eyes to see him just two inches away from the water, meaning, he was flying. He panicked for a moment thinking he might already be dead. His panic caused him to fall and be submerged in the water and he heard someone shout his name at the shore. It was the satyr. He'd been looking for Nicholas since he went missing and he was incredibly happy that he finally found him. Nicholas told the satyr that he could fly and felt great in the sky. At that moment, the satyr knew he was a son of some sort of Sky God. He told Nicholas to come with him to camp immediately and that he shouldn't refuse now. Nicholas felt the urgency of his words and so he finally agreed, however, he requested for him to just go to the said camp in summer. They agreed since it's only a few weeks away.

### Arriving at Camp

He spent his summer vacation at camp and trained there but he didn't much like the feeling of being away from home. He came back home after the summer. The satyr also became sort of his best friend and so he just said he'd come with Nicholas so he could protect him. The satyr stayed with him in the same apartment. Nicholas just told his aunt and uncle that he was a friend who lost a home--quite a lame thing to say but Emily and Mark allowed the satyr to stay without them knowing he wasn't really human. Since the satyr was also assigned in the area, he brought kids to camp, as well.  As years passed by, monster attacks did not stop. Nicholas would sometimes get three or more attacks a year but the satyr was there and they just helped each other. Harpies, Stymphalian birds, even cyclopes and many more various monsters attacked him but nothing they couldn't handle. It went on and on and the satyr would keep on telling Nicholas to just go back to camp but he'd refuse.

He really wanted to, as much as possible, finish his studies. He was actually one of the top students in class. He was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was eight but it did not stop him from studying hard. He took education seriously. However, as he got older, tougher monsters came. When he was fourteen, he decided to just go back to camp just like what the satyr always told him. The satyr was incredibly grateful that Nicholas finally wanted to go to camp. Along the way, they also encountered monsters--empousai. Fortunately, after all the attacks Nicholas encountered through the years, he got better and somehow also managed to defeat the empousai with the satyr. Good thing camp was just a few meters away and they just ran until they finally entered camp. He was finally claimed as The Son of Uranus but since there wasn't a cabin yet, he spent most of his life in the Hermes Cabin

## Personality

Nick is a very temperamental person. He has a temper somewhat like his father, but he is also very protective of his friends. Much like Luke he gets along with both groups, and most people at camp. He has a small rivalry with Grace after the trick Gaia did to Uranus and dislikes Justine and her father. He likes stargazing and He and Melody often stargaze together after the death of Loretta. He is quite a bit of a wallflower but he still tries his best to communicate with others. He can be a bit gullible sometimes. It's not that he hates company, he loves having friends. It's just that he doesn't like starting conversations. But now that he's a grown-up, he tries his best to socialize. Nick is not one to give up, and feels he can accomplish anything if he sets his mind to it. Although this is a great mindset to have, it ends in hubris, and Nick is often overconfident in his abilities. He is giving to everyone, as he has so much to give and feels guilty about the life he was born into when he sees some of the campers situations. He enjoys the spotlight, and revels in it, taking a chance to be looked at whenever it arises. He's charismatic and sociable, able to do most of the talking and is one of the easier people to talk to. Nick is what you would call a bisexual disaster, and is confident and straight froward enough to go up to you and tell you he thinks you're hot. It's been said he throws killer parties, and always knows where the alcohol stash is. His biggest phobia is Athazagoraphobia, the fear of being forgotten. It's why he's always trying to do something memorable, such as an epic party or big prank. To not let himself be taken for granted, Nick makes himself look larger than life. His expressions are exaggerated. He’s unforgivingly brash and loud. Ironically, Nick seems to be the realist of the pair when it comes to problem solving, preferring to create concrete plans to simply wishful thinking.
