History: Nicole was born without a father. Hypothetically speaking that is. Mr. Thompson signed up for the army during the Vietnam War, unknowing of the situation he left with his girlfriend. Knocked up and not married, Miss Ryder was stranded without hope. Luckily her sisters were far older than she, and took her in. Mr. Thompson was never heard from again and is allegedly dead, at least to Nicole.
Nicole grew up with her cousins, Matthew and Brett. They became more like brothers to her. She was a tomboy from the get-go because of this. Playing trucks in the sand box, throwing baseballs, riding bikes. She became quite the trickster, using her Blurr abilities to scare others. She was always a comedian, though. It wasn't until her late teens where she started being more feminine. Of course that was when she was 30. She looked like a 15 year old, due to her Blurr species. Her entire family had strands of that DNA but her, her parents and grandparents (etc), were the only ones to show the actual ability. Which is why she outlived the most generations.
She didn't find love easily. Of course she had her share of boyfriends and flings, but the longest she kept them was a year. She didn't want the hassle of her secret scaring off future husbands. And most importantly, she didn't want a broken heart. This is the source of her trust issues. She chooses not to trust people because she's afraid of her secret leaking. She now lives a solitary life, in a decent apartment in downtown Scriptor Bay. She's attempting to get by without anyone noticing her abilities. That will be difficult... as she seems to love making friends and talking. She recently applied to a college in Scriptor Bay, and is getting her degree in American Literature. She has always been in love with books and reading, especially the wild tales of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. As they take her to another place, even if it's for only a chapter or two, she can forget about her long past.
RP Sample: A steady beat of thumps echoed off the nearby walls of tall buildings and cement. An unusual sound for Nicole, that's for sure. Dressed in athletic shorts, a black cami, and her hair in a messy bun, she was jogging for the first time in probably... forever. Aside from sports in previous high schools, she's never been much of an exerciser. This is a joke, she thought sarcastically. Just because she was jogging, didn't mean she couldn't have fun though.
Glancing at her watch, she noticed it was almost 9pm. The bus stop ahead should be picking up passengers pretty soon. She smirked, and picked up her pace to intercept the unsuspecting bus. As she turned the corner, she disappeared completely. Invisible, she maneuvered to the front of the line and stood between a very conservative looking woman, and the curb. The bus squealed to a stop and exhaled loudly before opening it's doors. The woman, who was busy on her Blackberry, probably emailing even after work was over, ran smack into Nicole's hand. It took every inch of control to keep herself from laughing out loud as the conservative woman fixed her glasses. Nicole then grabbed the bus door and manually closed it, watching the bus driver's eyebrows furrow in confusion. The people in line behind the first woman leaned in unison to witness the bizarre happenings.
Nicole then turned away with nothing but a glance behind her and a snicker. She continued her jog at a steady pace before finding her way back to her apartment. A long, draining sigh escaped her as she closed the door to her flat. Looking at the familiar, dark surroundings put a pang of loneliness in her heart. Same old shit. Every day was the same, they all blurred together. The only reason she went on a run today was to spice up her life. But it seems life wasn't destined to be exciting for Nicole. After a few moments of leaning against the door, she finally got the inspiration to move. She made herself a drink, mixing some gatorade and vodka together, and began to heat up last night's chinese take out. She stared at the repetitive pattern of the cheap tiled floor. The bland squares were tarnished from years of use. Only the smell of burnt rice got her attention.
She brought the leftovers and her drink to her small table, where books were stacked in mountains. Papers seemed to mesh together in a white pool. She flipped open one of the books to the last page she was on. Her paper was due tomorrow. So ok, the run wasn't just to spice up her life, she was procrastinating. And the only reason she was "depressed" was because of this damned paper. She wasn't actually lonely.l She groaned to herself and shoved a spoonful of chicken fried rice into her mouth. Writing came naturally to her, but this research was a load of bull. She began to write nonetheless, popping her laptop open and typing away.
