<div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/88/bc/60/88bc6017b1b916dddb1f3d8de624e145.jpg)</div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Nikolaos Cerauno</span><br/><strong>AGE:</strong>Twenty-Three years old<br/><strong>GENDER:</strong>Male<br/><strong>SEXUALITY:</strong>Pansexual<br/><strong>BLESSED BY:</strong>Zeus<br/><strong>NICKNAMES:</strong>His parents call him Nicky, his friends call him Nick. Fight fans call him Nicky Lightening. He introduces himself as just Lightening.<br/><strong>LIKES:</strong>Sparring, training, fighting, romance, seduction, sex, drinking, limited drug use<br/><strong>DISLIKES:</strong>Arrogance, narcissism, personal insults, hypocrisy, dishonesty, anything that is slow or boring.<br/><strong>SKILLS &amp; POWERS:</strong><br/><br/>[Skill]<span class="bbc_u">Athletics</span>: As a lifelong athlete with an incredible work ethic and a demanding training regimen, Nick is simply tougher and can move faster for longer than most people. His conditioning is unparalleled and his cardio in unmatched. He will run faster; he will run further and when he gets there, he will still be able to fight.<br/><br/>[Skill]<span class="bbc_u">Fighting</span>: In a fight Nick is exactly what you would expect from a Golden Gloves Champion, All American Wrestler and Olympic Gold Medalist. It’s not just that he has a high level of spatial awareness (what fighters call a ring IQ), it’s not just that he has herculean levels of cardio (what fighters call a gas tank and please excuse the pun), it’s not just that his strikes are accurate, or fast that he has incredible knock out power and it’s not just that he is technically proficient. It’s the full package of all of those things. He will become the greatest MMA fighter of his generation.<br/><br/>[Skill]<span class="bbc_u">Resolve</span>: Nicky lives by the creed: Never say die. He will never quit; he has had bones broken but has never tapped out. He continues to struggle no matter how disadvantageous his position is. It doesn’t matter how many times he is knocked down, again and again, he will continue to rise. It’s almost as if he is just too stupid to quit. Whatever part of the brain it is that tells people when a situation is futile, Etah lacks it.<br/><br/>[Skill]<span class="bbc_u">Seduction</span>: This is a skill, not a power. There is no brainwashing or mind control here. It’s just that whatever “it” is, Nicky’s got it. Women love him, men adore him, everyone seems to want to fuck him and many people want to be him. This goes far beyond being amorous for Nicky. When he wants someone, he pursues them with wild abandon. This has led him to crawling around the outside of beautiful women’s balconies or jumping from a second story to dodge her husband, more times than is reasonable. Sometimes that exact same situation has led Nicky to bedding the husband as well.<br/><br/>[Power]<span class="bbc_u">Thunder Bolts</span>: Nicky doesn’t understand this power yet and it scares him a little bit. So aside from a few panicked moments that led to weird discharges of energy this power has never been utilized and he’s never made a concerned effort to develop this power.<br/><br/>[Power]<span class="bbc_u">Speed</span>: This is Nicky’s most developed power. He is not like the Flash. His type of speed is different. He does indeed run faster than any natural human can, but for him it is speed of thought, speed of movement and speed of hand eye coordination. This power has been with him since he was a child and it is undoubtably why he was so good at fighting.<br/><br/>[Power]<span class="bbc_u">Weather Control</span>: Nicky is not consciously aware that this is a power. All he  vaguely understands s is that when he is angry things tend to catch fire, when he is sad it rains and when he is happy the sky is clear.<br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong>Nick has dark hair which he tends to keep short, the olive colored skin that comes with his Greek heritage and almond shaped eyes. His body is hardened from a life of athletic training.<br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Nicky thrives on competition and self-improvement. He sees all things in life as not just goals to be achieved but more like mountains to climb and fights to win. He often sees people as mountains to climb and fights to win as well. He doesn’t understand people with little work ethic, he doesn’t understand out of shape people and he just doesn’t get pacifists. But he does his best to treat everyone well. He immediately dislikes narcissists but is unaware of how self-centered he can be and how arrogant his supreme self confidence comes across to some.<br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong>Nicky is from an upper middle class background in Everyville California, a small town nestled between Oakland and Berkeley. His father Andy owned a bar; his mother Kiki ran the attached restaurant and the while family lived on the top floor. The youngest of three, his younger sister was blind, and his oldest sister was already old enough to be working in the bar by the time he was a teenager.  He’s helped in the restaurant for as long as he can remember.<br/><br/>As a child Nick was being being bullied by kids who didn’t understand his Greek accent. So, his father sent him to a local boxing coach. He wouldn’t be bullied for long because it turned out that boxing was a talent of his. He began training multiple times a week and he competed in his first silver gloves boxing tournament when he was eleven years old. When he was twelve, he won a regional qualifying tournament to go the national Silver Gloves tournament where he lost by points. When he was thirteen, he made it to the national tournament and became a silver gloves champion.<br/><br/>Outside of school Nick continued to box, but he also began wrestling for the local high school. Over the course of his high school career he would go on to win two state titles. During that same time period, Nick at the age of 17 and then 18 would compete in the Golden Gloves boxing Championship tournament. Both years he won the qualifying regional tournament, the first year he lost at the National Golden Gloves level but in the second year he won.<br/><br/>In High School Nicky did fine in class; getting some B’s, but mostly C’s. He was friends with all the guys on the wrestling team and he dated a string of cute girls. In many ways he was a stereotypical jock. Given his success in wrestling no one was surprised when he received a full ride scholarship to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo which was a Division 1 School. In college he would win the NCAA Division 1 championships for his weight class, twice.<br/><br/>Directly following college graduation, Nicky became an honest to goodness Olympian competing in Boxing, Greco-Roman Wrestling and freestyle wrestling. He won a gold metal for boxing for his weight class and two silver medals for wrestling for his weight class. That was not long ago, and Nicky is still on an emotional high from becoming an Olympian. Now as he has been brought into train with celestial powers, he wonders what new challenges he can find.<br/><br/>Nick plans on leveraging his elite wrestling and striking to begin a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter until returning to the real world.<br/><br/><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong>Luke Evans (Actor)<br/><strong>WRITER:</strong>Etah dna Evol
