Nicholas Simone

Nicholas Simone is a character role-played by Nikez.

General Information
Nicholas "Nick" Simone is a council member of Seaside and one of the most feared terrorists in Los Santos. Furthermore, Nicholas is a businessman and is involved with many different companies, like Simone Acoustics.

Appearance
Nick has blond hair which is styled longer on top with shaved sides. He also has a trimmed beard and a mustache. Since owning Simone Memorial Hospital Nicholas is regularly dressed in a suit, often combined with a red or dark dress shirt and dark pants. In the past his usual outfit consisted of a grey jacket, paired with a white t-shirt underneath and grey jeans. While on the beach, he has been seen wearing just swimming trunks and flip-flops. Nick always wears darkened sunglasses, leaving the impression of anonymity. Almost the same can be said for masks, he often is either wearing a black medical mask with a petrine on it or a Seaside mask. Alongside this, he adopts a slow-paced walk- often taking his time in anything he does.

Personality
At first glance, Nick appears as a well-composed, indifferent man, often trying to hold all the cards he has close to his chest. Nick is known for his narcissistic nature and terroristic traits- he often argues that he is not a "terrorist" and is just someone who is not afraid to do what he thinks is right. In this regard he is much like his brother, Michael. However, what sets them apart from each other is that Nick tries to never leave a trail. Nick is the distrustful and cautious one of the brothers. Operational security is a top priority for him, although it can slip into paranoia.

People opposed to him often fear his aggression. Nick has no problem to brute force his way and once Nick starts he won't stop until everything is burnt to the ground. Further, his actions may be calculated from his standpoint but others often can't predict how Nick will react to things and believe that he's impulsive and rash.

Additionally, Nick does have sadistic traits- for example, while being very aware of his often intimidating presence, he loves to feign ignorance to the reaction he causes and often comments on how harmless he seems to be. The more people are afraid of him the more he enjoys making them uncomfortable. In his personal life, he's very closed off, always keeping people at arm's length away from him and rarely talking about his own feelings. In addition, through their upbringing both Simone brothers have a difficulty dealing with and/or understanding emotions. There are very few people Nick actually cares about, making it very easy for him to hurt others and disturb the peace.

When it comes to business ties, the Simone family in itself holds extreme riches- Nick often flaunting this fact. When this fortune isn't being spent on private yacht's and new houses, Nick uses the money to fund a range of guns and explosives. Due to this high status, Nick maintains important roles in almost every company he's apart of.

Background
Nicholas grew up in Denmark alongside his younger brother, Michael Simone. Due to the death of their mother at a relatively young age and the severe negligence of their rich father, the brothers relied on each other heavily throughout their adolescence. This created a strong bond and connection between them, even through petty squabbles and arguments- they would go to the end of the world for one another.

As they aged, Nicholas decided to enlist in the military, he specialised in explosives and sniper rifles, while Michael decided to move away to San Andreas for a change of scene and to start his life anew. It was not until 2019 that Nicholas ventured to Los Santos to check up on his brother but ended up staying in the city after making some new friends.

Dice God Persona
Nick seems normally calm and calculated. Sometimes to let have a bit of fun, he acts as Dice God, a persona of him, who loves to gamble with other people.

Often the gamble is dice rolling and at risk is either life or high sums of money.
