Outside of that, he is a very relaxed, easy-going individual, though he does like staying in his comfort zone, tinkering in the scrap yard or in school. Nick is also quite a bit eccentric, and takes full advantage of the garage to experiment just a little bit. Tweaking engines, mixing up different kinds of fuel, occasionally singing off an eyebrow.<br/><strong>History</strong>: Nick is a native of San Diego, born and raised in a clean, stable home. His youth was fairly standard, middle-class family, middle-class school. Though he did very well with regards to grades, he never quite managed to pick up a scholarship, so, entering the second decade of his life, Nick ran into a whole slew of problems he had no idea how to deal with.<br/><br/>First and foremost, money. Student loans that were slowly getting harder and harder to pay off. And, just a bit desperate. He turned to less reputable sources to pay them off. Namely, The Triad of Mr Kwan. In his defense, it seemed like a great idea at the time. But over time, it seemed more and more like a nightmare. His debt didn't go away fast enough, his job didn't pay enough, and the 'favors' he was asked to do by the Triad were more than enough. So he turned to someone he hadn't seen since his high-school days. He'd heard she done well on the grapevine, and, desperate, asked, or rather, begged, for her help. And got it.<br/><br/>He isn't a member of the club by any means now, but he has a good job in the scrap-yard, and uses his time with the garage to make some extra money on the side. It's a fight to make each monthly payment, but at least it's possible now. Of course, he's still far too afraid of Mr Kwan, (and Kate), to let his friends now just who his debt is to.<br/><br/>(http://www.ticketonline.de/obj/media/DE-eventim/galery/kuenstler/d/david-garrett-10-2009-006.jpg)<br/><strong>Extra Info</strong>: Nick is a passable driver at best, but he's a top notch mechanics, even if he has a tendency to go a bit funny when he works on interesting cars. The results tend to be good, and it's given him a bit of a reputation in the right circles. He very much enjoys his job in the scrap-yard, because of all the time and resources it gives him to tinker with. He likes wearing very loose, very baggy shirts and jackets, which gives him a very casual, disheveled appearance.<br/></span></div>
