Nick Smith

Nick Smith is one of the main protagonists of the series where he is known as the Red Ninja and the Fire Mystic.

He is one of the two mystics to use the same element for both as a N.I.N.J.A. and a Mystic.

## Appearance

Typically preferring red attire, Nick has tall, thick spiky brown hair, shaped like fire.

He is often seen with a focused expression on his face, with a scar visible on his right eyebrow and a bandage above his left, which has been there for a long time, possibly because he thinks it looks cool.

Before, his hair was a slightly darker shade of brown, his eyebrows were black, his bangs parted to the right and instead of a scar, and he had a notch on his left eyebrow.

In "Way of the Ninja" and "Endings," Nick wore a white shirt and red pants as well as an orange apron.

Since "The Royal Blacksmiths," Nick's civilian attire consists of a red half-zipped up sweater over a maroon shirt with his symbol on the chest and brown pants.

Throughout Skybound, he wore a red cap over his hair to conceal his identity.

Nick's eyes are shown to be brown.

In Prime Empire, Nick's avatar gives him a different look. His hair is now blond and he has red paint over his eyes, similar to Harumi.

He also has a red square print that is half-hidden on his chest and wears a sleeveless red gi with gold bolt-like patterns and dark red diamond-shaped marks on the chest.

## Personality

Fittingly for his elemental affinity, Nick is very hotheaded, prone to taking action before he thinks things through.

He is capable of making careful observations when the need arises, but his emotions often override his caution.

His single-mindedness made interaction with his teammates difficult at first (especially due to his worry about Ian), but he eventually learned to work with the other ninja.

He can be very cocky at times, sometimes even to the point of selfishness, insisting that he is better than others, gloating about his victory, or yelling about his failures.

He seems to have a large ego as he wanted to be the Green Ninja and lead the team.

Kai also has something of an overconfident stubborn side, believing that he is in the right until overwhelming evidence to the contrary is presented.

On the other hand, Nick's stubborn streak lends him incredible determination that allows him to bolster the team's spirit in the face of impossible odds.

Despite having no powers at the time, Nick showed intense loyalty through his determination to protect Adam when the latter was possessed by the Overlord and Morro.

Overall, Nickis a tough, brave, confident, passionate ninja.

The most prevalent facet of Nick's personality is his good heart and dedication to the people he cares about—if someone can earn his friendship, he will stop at nothing to protect them.

Much of his stubbornness and recklessness is due to his desire to help his loved ones, either directly or by becoming strong enough to defeat anyone who might threaten them with their plans.

In turn, his friends and family work to balance out Nick's more extreme traits, causing him to become a levelheaded mentor for Adam by the time he and his comrades begin training the Green Ninja.

According to Sam, Nick's desire to protect his friends is just as powerful as his temper.

Unlike most characters, Nick likes to spend time with his parents and does not mind it when his mother tends to baby him.

He also formed a better relationship with Ray while playing video games at the monastery with Nolan.

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

* **Fire**: Being the Elemental Master of Fire, Nick can create Fire with his own hands and either throw it, use it as boxing gloves, or unleash a burst of flames towards his opponents. It is also shown that he can withstand high temperatures and walk through fire unharmed. He also has the ability to move fire at will.
* **Blacksmith**: Nick can work as a blacksmith when needed. Although, Ian used to tell him he was a terrible blacksmith, as of "Way of the Ninja." Somehow, he was able to gain these skills with hardly any practice at all.

### Fire Mystic Powers

The Fire Mystic can create large flames and fireballs that packs a burning touch and explosive power.

	+ **Aeroblade**: He also has an Aeroblade (along with Nolan, Jay and Sam) that can destroy ghosts.
