↬ Wealth ↫

Money hasn't been a concern for Nico these last couple of years. Being a celebrity tends to be a major boost for one's bank account of course. He doesn't go out buying mansions, considering the band is too close to ever really opt for separate housing. But Nico does occasionally indulge in $50 jackets or the like.

↬ Skin color ↫

Nico has never been one for the sun, no, his skin has a sort of porcelain glow to it. It is a soft, pale cream sort of color with a yellow undertone that always seems to be unmatchable with the foundation products the stylists use.

↬ Eye color ↫

Here and then, Nico might use eye contacts in a vivid blue or even a striking purple. Of course, such matters rely on his hair color. However the natural color of his iris is a dark brown melded with a grey tone.

↬ Hair color ↫

Ever since he was 12, there hasn't been a six month span where his hair remained the same color throughout.  And frankly, Nico is pretty adamant about maintaining this. He's gone through colors such as plum purple, bubble gum pink, platinum blond and raven black. So don't expect much of any consistency on that matter.

↬ Hair style ↫

Usually Nico has a sort of state of disarray with his hair. It's a mess, unstyled unless it's for an award ceremony. But usually it will fall like bangs, angled to the side, or simply spiking out as a testament of his active dance practices.

↬ Facial hair ↫

None, and Nico absolutely refuses to even attempt growing any

↬ Body Type ↫

Nico has the lithe body of a dancer. He isn't particularly tall, but he is awfully thin. Though strong muscles have developed during many hours dedicated to choreographies, he just doesn't "bulk up" considering how stiff that can make one be in dance. Nico has an ectomorph body, unable to easily develop muscle or gain fat unless exercise or unhealthy eating is taken to an extreme.

↬ Scars ↫

An athlete of any variety is of course going to have scars. He has one that is almost entirely faded that curves along the arch of his cheek bone. In additional, Nico has a rather jagged scar that goes for probably six inches along his thigh. These are the two main ones, however he also has probably a dozen small ones of little consequence dotted across his body.

↬ Piercing ↫

Nico has always enjoyed his piercings. He has one on his left ear, simply the lobe that is meant to simply accent whatever jewelry is selected for the day. In addition, Nico has one cartilage piercing and three lobe piercings on his right ear. Making for a grand total of five. Though he is deliberating getting a tongue piercing.

↬ Outfits ↫

Nico has a preference for loose shirts, either with billowy fabric or something that can also be used to dance in. He is remarkably flexible in his routines and thus prefers either excessively loose or excessively stretchy clothing.

↬ Accessories ↫

Almost always wearing earrings of that variety

↬ Normal mood ↫

Nico's emotions on a normal basis can be a myriad of things. He has a sense of humor that can rival most, generally donning a bright smile or laughing loud enough to be heard in the next room. He is obnoxious, but paranoid, now, whenever working with his bandmates. Considering his role as a dancer and backup singer, Nico is easily expendable. Though this motivates him to be a figure of charisma, so intertwined in work with the bandmates that he can not be severed.

↬ Temper ↫

Having a temper and being a celebrity has been known to be a toxic combination. Fortunately, Nico doesn't fit this category. He knows how to plaster a smile through the times he would rather be screaming his frustration. Particularly, his temper is set off whenever people question his work ethic.

↬ Discipline ↫

Nico is well-disciplined. Considering how he's holding onto the band by a string, he feels the need to follow every instruction given by managers. His self-discipline is even better. Primarily as Nico will spend hours in the studio each day, keep to a (surprisingly) clean diet and adheres to the fan schedules given no matter how tired, hungry or generally terrible he's feeling.

↬ Strengths ↫

If anything, Nico is an excellent actor. He hasn't been an active member of the industry for several years, but he's good at conveying emotions to an audience, even completely false ones. Nico bleeds confidence while on stage, knowing how to improvise without taking a hardline stance on major issues. He isn't brash, managing to keep a level head and be able to refrain from swearing which is unique from the band. And, not to mention, Nico is a fantastic dancer.

↬ Weaknesses ↫

Nico has grown an undeniable attachment to the band over their years together. To be severed from the group would be devastating for him. His weaknesses lie in his inability to talk back to managers, new ideas can't be argued but simply added on to. Nico is remarkably passive considering his fear of being dropped from his contract, but never voices such concerns.

↬ Drive/dreams ↫

As much as Nico loves dancing with his band, that alone being a dream come true, he enjoys hip hop influences more. Whenever there are celebrity reveals or talent shows, occurring just after an album release or during promotions, Nico relishes in the feel of dancing a choreography to whatever he'd like.

↬ Fears ↫

Quite honestly, Nico is intimidated by Bubble Gum. He doesn't know why, but she's distributed enough threats about chaining people to her motorcycle and riding off with it that Nico gives a classically nervous laugh during such comments. Of course he otherwise is afraid of being dropped from the contract.

↬ Likes ↫

Nico is practically addicted to milk tea. When the band goes out for drinks, he won't order an alcohol, just milk tea. After a grueling practice, that is his go to Nico also happens to be particularly inclined to the Scandinavian dessert krumkake. He doesn't get it often, but he can easily eat five when given the opportunity.

↬ Dislikes ↫

Anyone impersonating an accent is bound to set Nico off into a tangent about nuanced dialects. Considering how tedious it was for him to learn the English language proficiently, he finds it downright offensive when people don't take the consideration. Nico also happens to despise tap dancing, it's fun, however the shoes always make his feet cramp.

↬ Soft spot ↫

Nico definitely has a soft spot for his bandmates, even though they all have a rather powerful image, he wants to always assure that they are doing well physically and mentally.

↬ Depression ↫

There isn't really anything that makes Nico depressed, no, not really. Instead he feels that there is something to worry about, at all points of life where no matter what there's never enough, talent, success, none of it justifies his progress. Nico feels downright terrible at how expendable he is to the band, convincing himself that enough hours in the studio will quell that fear.

↬ Inspiration ↫

Really, Nico's inspiration lies in simply doing what he loves. Dancing. He wants to be able to do so freely, uncaring of if fans like it or the manager approves it. He wants to be able to make the carefree music with his band from before they debuted again. Those times of not having an expectation on something they enjoyed inspires Nico to continue working at their craft.

↬ Role model ↫

↬ Habits ↫

Tapping his feet, breaking out in a dance choreography despite only the first two steps being remotely similar, bopping exaggeratedly to whatever song comes on the radio

↬ Hobbies ↫

Free time as a celebrity is allotted differently. A spontaneous venture to the city can receive bad press, or accidentally liking the wrong Instagram post can be disastrous. Nico does his best to spend his free time by dancing. Creating choreographies that will never be recorded or shown on stage, but a routine that's just for his enjoyment and ability to improve his skills. Though otherwise, at the ungodly hours of the morning Nico enjoys watching animations and dramas.

↬ Talents ↫

Nico's greatest talent lies in his dancing abilities. It's undeniable that he has worked hard to achieve such skills. He also happens to be good at translating between Japanese, English and Korean considering his familiarity with all three. In addition, Nico isn't an all that bad saxophonist.

↬ Languages ↫

Japanese • English • Korean • Spanish (learning)

↬ Voice Claim ↫

Yuta Nakamoto

↬ Dancing Style ↫

Nico was enrolled in a school specially accustomed to the arts, which of course includes dancing. He's been trained in everything from the tango to the lindy-hop. In fact, most all European and traditional Japanese dances he knows at least the basic steps to. Also, considering Nico's background in gymnastics, he can add a bit of a flair with aerials or the like. He does have an obvious preference to dancing to hip hop tunes with a prominent rhythm. Though considering his band's genre, he sticks to attempting choreographies for the alternative rock music videos.

↬ Vocal Type ↫

Nico's vocal abilities are not nearly as skilled as Pallas, but, he still is trained. He can reach up to a B5 at a tense falsetto. Though anything in the fourth octave has a strong tone quality, flexible vibrato abilities and can be sustained for several measures.

↬ Favorite Pose ↫

↬ Social Media ↫

Nico is somewhat attached to social media. He enjoys updating the fans, either in video chats or quick pictures snapped while on tour. Though he is conscious about everything posted, each word carefully crafted to hopefully not be offensive, hopefully not be the tipping point for the managers to finally drop his contract. Nico is constantly paranoid and thus limits his social media for when he has an extended period of time to fuss over it.

↬ Songwriting ↫

If Nico isn't arranging choreography, practicing new moves, interacting with fans or his bandmates, he's trying to think of new lyrics. He is relatively creative, Nico having at one point been able to generate song ideas at the simple moment of silence and rhythm hummed. Though such days has pat as he puts increasing pressure on himself to think of something. When he does have a piece completed, Nico is remarkably talented at arranging part distribution, transposing and the like. All to save the managers the hassle of course.

↬ Age 0-12 ↫

Natsuo Yamamoto was born the youngest of his family. His older brother, Araki, beat him by about six years. And in practically everything. The two boys ended up going to different schools in Japan. For one reason, because their mother had enrolled Natsuo in a dance program at age three that he happened to be excelling. Which ended up placing him in a performing arts school where he could continue to develop his talents in the fine arts. Also, because Araki didn't enjoy his brother's presence to the point that school would be a misery. Araki always seemed to excel where Natsuo did not. And even though it was comparing apples and oranges, Natsuo's success in dance could never compare to the marks his brother brought home. Quite honestly, it was a major hit to his self-esteem from such a young age. Akari Ranmaru, Natsuo's primary dancing instructor, a woman of perhaps 35 years with brightly colored hair and an even brighter personality, constantly assured him that his progress was fine. Though that didn't stop Natsuo from throwing himself into the practice rooms at any given point in time, or, at least when he finished the rigorous academic track he was on.
Natsuo was undoubtedly the best in his dance class by age twelve. Though he wasn't doing too bad academically either. He never fully dedicated, but he knew English just as well as he did Japanese and was getting the fundamentals of Korean rather well. Though Araki always seemed to do better, having just left the house to enroll into college. Now all of the pressure lay on Natsuo to meet the expectation his brother had set.

↬ Age 13-18 ↫

The idea had initially sprung when Natsuo was thirteen. Money was growing more and more difficult in their little flat, especially in finding Araki with his secondary schooling. His father and mother both worked in the tech industry, something booming with promise in Japan. But yet, even more so in America. Araki had vehemently denied wanting to accompany the family. Natsuo's dancing instructor, Akari, also wasn't overly pleased that her best student would have to depart. But she did have a recommendation, a close colleague of her having his own arts program in the States that wouldn't let his talent go to waste. By the time Natsuo was fourteen, they had an apartment bought and school assigned in America.
The transition was rough, rather, absolutely horrible. Initially came the teasing. Though everyone was starting their final year of middle school, the children were crude and immature. Often imitating his heavy accent, cackling at his thin frame or his interest in dance. Though Natsuo had been an excellent student, being immersed in a culture that only spoke English was completely different from his lessons. There was no teacher there to tell him that badaro in English was sea. It was floundering, stuttering and desperately trying to recall what had been scrawled on flash cards late at night. But fortunately, the colleague mentioned by his former teacher found a similar talent in Natsuo. Kei was far more strict than Akari, insisting that the hours Natsuo put into dance needed to increase in both quantity and quality. But he also was a backbone of moral support. He suggested the English name Nico and upon seeing many extended stares to other dancers, male and female alike, began to work out the uncomfortable talk of sexuality. Kei continued to be an almost second parent to him as he entered high-school.
Nico didn't have high hopes entering freshman year, his goals were simply to have high marks, join dance and maybe the math team and call it good. However Nico wasn't expecting to create a misfit group of friends. By sophomore year, he had come to know each of the members of a band that would soon be known all across the States.

That they are constantly at risk for being dropped from the band
