One time, Nic's family keep noticing his Live2D rig commissions and when asked about it, this leads to Nic explaining about the VTuber community.

Nic also confirmed through a tweet that his family were aware of his VShojo art content entry. Astonished, they asked him, "Who are they? What's their business?" Nic also stated in the reply that they were curious about who Nux Taku is, which Nic replied that he is a famous YouTuber.

## History

### 2017-2021

Before Nic joined YouTube or become a VTuber, he first joined Twitter on around September 2017. Initially, he posted his first tweet on September 17, and at that time, he would post real-life drawings/paintings, also posting them on his Instagram. He would eventually move into making digital-based arts and animation showcases of his commissioned arts.

On October 5, 2020, Nic (credited as his old alias, NicRennie) was featured as one of the editors in Voltaej's English cover of the vocaloid song "Jitterbug" by Hachiya Nanashi.

NicJellie started his channel on June 17, 2020, and streamed his VTuber debut on March 4, 2021 with the help of Voltaej's promotional tweet. At that time, he would post few of his past live-streams' highlights. Most content on the NicJellie Ch. channel consists of art and rig showcases, live-streams where he chats with the viewers while drawing a fanart/commission, occasional gameplays, and collaboration.

    On March 12, Nic created his Discord server called "Jellyfish Underworld".

On April 1, he created an April Fools live-stream where his presumed alter-ego "**Aurijellica**", portrayed by Jea's sister, took over the stream playing Minecraft. However, in almost at the end of the stream where she chats with the viewers, Nic shows up.

On November 4, Nic participated in Nux Taku and FeFe's art contest. His fanart entry was also reacted by Nux, Kwite, and Noble, also creating a *Nux x FeFe* combo merch drop which bores Nic's art. On January 19, Nic was announced as the winner of the fanart entry, and hosted a celebration stream the following day.

### 2022

On March 27, at the beginning of his live-stream, Jamorenji told Nic to react to his own wiki page, which he did. He reacted on contents of the article to make sure the information is corrected and simultaneously gives occasional commentary to it. After reacting to the page, Nic was extremely impressed by his work, and is thinking of promoting the page. Time passes after reacting to it, Enchanted Lever asked Nic to go to the VTuber Wiki and check his own page. At first, Nic was confused of who created the page and proceeds to message Jamorenji asking if he was the one who created the page, which he stated it wasn't him. However, Lever was revealed to be the creator of the VTuber page for Nic, leaving him flustered.

On May 1, Nic went to the Cosplay Carnival convention with Jea, and their friends, where he also met Watage, and other miscellaneous Filipino VTubers. The following day, he made a live-stream talking about his experience and show photos of him, friends, and VTubers, also giving commentary about it.

On July 14, for FeFe's collaboration of **Streamers In N.Y.C**, Nic's commissioned artwork of Nux Taku was featured in the New York billboard.

On August 17, Nic live-streamed a late birthday stream where he celebrates his birthday by drawing on Aggie.io with Jellies, react to all fanarts, chatting, and playing BluBoi's "Cube Game". This is Nic's last stream before taking a "little" break from streaming to focus on ongoing art commissions. Nic stated that he will return to stream with a brand new model.

On October 8, Nic participated in an art contest that would be monumental to him; it was the Vshojo art contest featuring IronMouse.

### 2023

On January 21, Nic reached 2,000 followers on Twitter.

On February 24, Nic was invited as a speaker for a local art program's project called "Art of Love", also stating that his town's mayor is going to be one of his audiences. This program was coordinated by the local community of the disabled. He spoke about how art can benefit the disabled community which left an impression for the youth.

On March 29, Nic reached 600 subscribers. However, Nic believes his community are just simply using their alternate account to subscribe to the channel for it to reach its milestone.

## Personality

Nic is self-described as a brainless immortal jellyfish. However, he also has a crazy and loud personality; for instances, if he happens to run in some situations in his streams, he would mostly overreact and violently curse at the same time, and if situations deteriorate, he would scream more compulsively, deranged and high-pitched, but this can be explained by his community's excessive use of playing practical jokes on him. While Nic finds himself to be brainless, he has common sense and at times is shown to be intelligent, well-educated, down-to-earth and is easy to learn a lot of things in life, example being what it takes to be a content creator and having a community.

Based on the way he talks, it seems like his mouth is very close to his microphone, to which Nic states that he is wearing a "headset microphone" to clarify why he sounds like that. Jellies also often make jokes about his constant screams. He also speaks in a slightly raspy, monotone voice. This personality is often well-known in his community for sporting a sarcastic over-the-top attitude, which can lead to Jellies make clips relating to his type of demeanor.

Nic tends to highly express his impressiveness and enthusiasm by the amount of talent in his community (example being fanarts), which majorities being from Jamorenji, TheAmazingCat, and Lazy's work. Nic is also aware that some of his followers are minors, therefore explaining why the NSFW channel in his Discord server is private, only allowing access to people who got the "Anatomy Enthusiast" role, to ensure their safety. Nic is considered to easily understand one's feelings and know right from wrong, example of him informing people to respect one's privacy.

Nic values freedom of artistic expression which allows gore and explicit themes, although it may come with a lot of responsibility. Nic still has conflicting philosophies about this particular topic. At times, whenever Nic witnesses rather peculiar artworks of him, he is often known to use a GIF depicting a woman splashing a bucket of water at someone's face to indicate how agitated he is. Nic occasionally commentates and shares his knowledge to his community about various subjects, which most are based on his reminiscing anecdotes of his experiences with certain events in his everyday life.

Nic stated in his final live-stream before his hiatus that once he starts streaming again, he could be having a character development, with try to distance his over-the-top behavior and would sport a more sophisticated personality, though he would still remain to be himself.

## Appearance

Nic appears to be an anthropomorphic jellyfish with somewhat pale skin, orange and yellow eyes with slightly thick eyelashes, triangular eyebrows, three orange dots on each of his cheeks that are possibly freckles, pointy elf-like ears, and white hair with some navy blue dyeing in the bottom.

He wears rectangular glasses and slightly flat navy blue Jellie hat which bores orange tentacles behind his hair, orange eyes, a mouth, and few dots on its face; it also has an ability to almost copy any facial expressions Nic is making. He wears a navy blue polo shirt with few orange dots on its collar, covered in white and orange long-sleeved cloak. His lower half clothing consists of two layers of white and orange petal-shaped skirt, and orange and black tentacles.

In his updated model rig, his eyes can now move less-exaggerated, now able to close eyes, can move his shoulder, and the animation of the tentacles are now soft.

In his old avatar of NicRennie, he had magenta eyes and hair, more narrow eyebrows, and wore smaller glasses. His hat resembles his signature Jellie hat except that its more geometric shape, colored orange, and bores a smiley face. He also wore a brown suit with a red necktie. Nic also does some self-portraits of himself in real life, which consists of him having slightly curly hair, wearing glasses and a hoodie.

Nic also has several assets where he sports them in his streams or thumbnail. First being muscular tan legs with a black underwear, second being a red, white, and blue headband which he wears when signifying that he is "speed-running" or "training", third being white @ (at) symbol placed on his eyes. He occasionally holds a handgun pistol; when it shoots, an audio clip of Nic imitating a gunshot sound effect can be heard ("PRR! PRR! PRRR!!").

### Design

Nic's character designer and artist is created by his manager Voltaej, and Nic being the rigger of his own model. This is not the only model they worked on, but they also together commission on their friend, R1zale's model character. On December 29, 2021, Nic announced that he updated the rig of his model.

Jea's first concept for his model are few sketches of the character prototype; the design was also based on Heine Wittgenstein from *Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine*. Jea also simplified the attire by making Nic wear a shoulder cape on his clothing. Her second concept consists of Nic's early model appearance, except that his bangs are overlapping his eyebrows. Nic suggested Jea that it would be better if the eyebrows are outside of his hair instead of covering it. Nic stated that upon seeing the picture the next time he saw it, he commented that it resembles a baby.

One of Nic's accent color, orange, can also change its color, dyeing his eyes, tentacles, necktie and his Jellie hat's markings. Example being purple which he at one point dyed himself with when the chat jokes about him being William Afton.

## Relationships

### TheAmazingCat

Nic and Cat have a bittersweet relationship, yet two of them are really close. Nic is usually annoyed by the amount of ridicules Cat has pulled on him, and Cat is considered to be the Jellie who Nic is most annoyed by; also finding him an absolute nuisance. Whenever Cat makes a meme out of Nic on Twitter, he would often reply to the post by quoting it. Nic also gave Cat the role "STATUES" because of his frequent "bullying" and spamming.

Nic also expresses dissatisfaction with Cat's hobby of "throwing frogs at people's face". At one point in his birthday preparation stream, Cat created a video depicting supposedly him as Azel throwing frogs at him, and few moments later, Cat requested Nic to add frogs for decoration on his birthday party art, which Nic declined and instead draws a sign reading "No Frogs allowed" as payback.

### Watage Yua

Nic and Watage are really close friends, although they have a complicated relationship. Watage tends to show desire of strangling Nic or any other physical attacks like slapping; this is also a running joke on Nic's community. Nic also frequently makes fun of her height, often commenting she is "tiny". However, they would remain as the best of terms in every aftermath of their chaotic scenarios.
