Nicolas

The protagonist of The Zombies trilogy. A broken man who can't escape his past.

Nick was born as Dickolas Clemente Francis Palmer Rivera Guitierrez de Santa Cruz Alejandro Jesus Bautista Gomez Rodriguez Aurelio Garcia Pancho Villa Benicio del Toro Futbol Miguel Armando Reyes Mauricio Enrique Humberto Esperanza George Lopez Joaquin Ignacio Margarita Arturo Augusto Esteban Andres Joel Pablo Rafael Federico Rogelio Estrella Soledad Vincente Antonio Banderas Gregorio Felix Raimundo Jorge Alvares Angelo Trejo Javier Pascal Beatriz Mateo Claudio Trinidad Ruiz y Bonervides in Tijuana, Mexico, despite his claims that he was born on a US naval base in Okinawa.

At the age of five, he stowed away on a Cuban refugee boat headed for the Florida Keys. Upon landing in the US, he had to dodge ICE agents attempting to tackle him in the surf before he could step foot on American soil. Luckily, his litheness and agility allowed him to reach the shore in safety. From there, Nicolas made his way up the East Coast to Maryland, where he attended Sligo Creek Elementary. It was here that he befriended Elias and Acer (and in Universe 115, Rick).

Nick then went on to attend Silver Spring International Middle School, where he continued his hijinks with the suicide squad, eventually leading up to the events of the first Zombie incident. While he returned safely to Universe 114, he was forever changed by his experience in the Zombie realm. Ridden with guilt from leaving Sam behind, he became quiet and withdrawn, worrying Elias.

After graduating SSIMS, Nick enrolled in Northwood High School, an experimental penal colony disguised as a normal high school. After trying out for the football team, he became Northwood's best second-string JV safety. Sometime in his junior year he watched Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, and (completely missing the point of the movie) became inspired to join the United States Marine Corps. Full Metal Jacket became his third favorite movie, coming only behind Interstellar and Inception, which Nick could appreciate more than the average viewer because of his top-tier intellect and master-level understanding of theoretical quantum physics, which he learned from watching several YouTube videos on the subject.
