### Early Life

Nancy first met Bragi at a art museum. He introduced himself as Brendan Mason. He asked her out on a date and she said yes. After the first date, Nancy knew she was in love. After a couple dates, Brendan came over to her house. A couple months Later she got pregnant. She told Brendan and he seemed excited. 9 months later, on August 2, Nico was born. Brendan told Nancy who he really was. Nancy, loved him so much, that she believed him. He then told her he had to leave. She agreed to keep the child, and watched him leave with Nico in her hands.

### Childhood

Nico grew up like a normal kid. He went to school, had friends, got good grades. He had special talents though. By the time he was 7 he had mastered about 14 instruments. When he was 9 he knew 26 instruments. His father noticed that he was musical, and sent him a box. When Nico opened the box he found 6 instruments that he had never seen. At the bottom of the box there was a note that said, From Dad. Nico looked up what the instruments were. They were instruments from the ancient Norse world. He soon mastered those to. 34 instruments. He soon began to sing to, and could sing in all pitches. He also began drama, writing, art, and dancing. By the time he was 11 he was the most talented person in class.

### The Giant

When he was 12, he joined the basketball team and tennis team. He was the best on the tennis team and the second best in basketball. One day after basketball practice, his teammate, Hayden Clark, started to act weird. He then turned into a huge man. Nico tried to get away, but the giant hit Nico across the room. Nico hit the wall and fell to the ground. Nico got up and ran for the exit. When he got through the door the giant kicked his foot through the door and kicked Nico in the back and sent him flying. When he hit the ground he looked back and saw a trail of gold dust in the wind and a hoof turning the corner of the school.

### The Life After

By the time these seasons were over he noticed something different about himself. When he was 12, he came out as Asexual at school. He got weird looks and was often told there was something wrong with him, or he wasn't *really* ace he just "hasn't met the right one yet". He would just ignore it and it didn't bother him. Soon every one just stopped it. He also experienced weird thing after the season. He was attacked by a snake lady, a huge dog, and a another giant. Each one ended with gold dust, and hoof prints. The rest of middle school went pretty normal.

For his freshman year of high school he was accepted to a special school for the arts. There he was in the honors and AP classes. He also had his first real relation here, Austin Pallwaker. His mother didn't know he was dating anyone, so when he invited Austin over to spend the night. That night he had his first kiss. He would invite Austin over all the time, and Nancy never found out. 5 months later he told his mother about it. She wasn't happy about it but she accepted it.

### Coming to Camp

During that same year. He was entering a talent show his school was having. That same night, in the middle of the song one of his classmates was doing, the classmate turned into a flaming headed beast. Nico screamed and began to run for the exit but she trapped him. Then a few other classmates turned into the same things. He couldn't escape. The other students were screaming and running for the exit. Then one of his teachers drew a sword and killed one of them. He then grabbed Nico ran for the exit. They got his mom, and got in a car. The teacher explained that he was a demigod and Nico was too. They got to a hill with a tree. The teacher told him to go over the hill. Nico did as he was told. But when he looked back he saw the beast tying to kill his teacher and his mom. He went to help but they told him to run. He did as he was told but didn't like it. He entered camp and was claimed by Bragi. He then was taken to his cabin where he cried himself to sleep, worrying about his mother. The next day he discovered that both his mom and his teacher were dead, and he was given a bow and arrow from his father. He still morns his mother

## Personality

Nico is described as a poet. He loves writing and talks about famous poets in history. Nico is known to be a confident young teen, but he can also be naive at times, but he's also determined to be a great warrior and is also headstrong as well. Nico is described as Rash, but impulsive at the same time, so he's a bit strange. As the son of a god of wisdom, Nico is knowledgeable. He's strong and caring as well, and is a bit of a hopeless romantic (especially to Annie, but don't tell her that!). Nico doesn’t tend to stand out. In a social situation, he blends, he adapts. He listens to all your sob stories and nods at the correct moments, and has wide, soft eyes that makes it feel like he’s holding onto your every word. He has the occasional joke, but it always accents someone else’s remark, and he doesn’t tend to do the kind of talking that carries the conversation. In camp, he’s like any other : kind and sweet, never a sly remark to your face, though he does have a characteristically cheeky grin. Fundamentally, Nico is not particularly the ambitious sort. He likes the simple life, like food and friends and the company of someone with funny jokes. He likes brunch at cute cafes and strolling through pretty museum exhibits. When asked for what he wants, Nico would say that he wants to be comfortable and happy, preserving all the things he finds inspiring in this world. This tendency of his to sit back and enjoy life means that he has developed into a very perceptive lad. He doesn’t lose himself in rushing forward and charging ahead, resulting in Nico being able to scan a situation and simply pick up details and nuances. He has a keen eye that allows him to easily assess issues. It’s the same kind of awareness you might need at a dinner party, to scan your guests and make sure no one is feeling awkward or left out, or the same eye you might want as a photographer to check that all the details you hope to capture are highlighted. This has culminated into him being a resourceful and tech-savvy boy, who is able to pick up new skills or information quickly. Ruinous appreciates creativity deeply, and highly values out-of-the-box thinking. He’s become very dedicated to his art, which is photography, and often seeks ways of improving his work. Part of his vision for his comfortable and kind life means having the safety and freedom to indulge in his muse. He does believe in making risks for things you love, art being such a thing.
