Name/Nickname:
Alias: Nickolas Somnas, or Nick
- If you call him Nicky he will calmly ask you not to do so again, the second time he won’t be so nice.
Real name: Carl Moses Summers
Age:
- Unknown to himself (he's 43)
- he looks to be around his 40's usually
Gender:
- prefers to be male, but can be anything in between
Height:
- Normal form is 7 ft 1in
- but usually keeps his hight to around 6 ft in public
Weight:
tends to change randomly but hangs around the 200 Ib mark in normal form
Alignment:
- Lawful Good
Affliction:
- Shape-shifter (different human forms only)
- Claws
Nationality:
- Caucasian
Occupation:
- currently hired at the local gun shop
Skills and Abilities:
- Highly observant, were ever he goes, he always does a quick scan of the area
- Can handle guns of all types proficiently, hand guns are his favorite
- Unnaturally quick reflexes
- Able to shape-shift to almost any humanoid form imaginable, he is also a near perfect mimic, able to imitate anything that he can observe or hear (he can mimic animal sounds but not their forms)
- while in normal form his fingers take the form of sharp knife like claws about a 10 in long
- he is a little bit stronger than the average human
- if he ate a peach, he is capable of flight. Wings are built like an owls for fast and silent flight. Also like an owl they absorb water instead of repelling it (which means no flying in the rain or he falls like a brick). At this moment though, he has not learned how to use them yet.
Note: on shape-shifting, its like holding his breath. He can maintain a given form for about 6 hours strait (including his human disguise)
Weaknesses:
Has an 'allergy' to apples or anything with apples as an ingredient. A few minutes after eating an apple he immediately shifts into his normal form as a woman, how long he stays in that form can vary but its usually for several hours depending on how much he ate. This is highly annoy to him and avoids apples at all costs
Has similar allergies to several other fruits, particularly the pitted varieties (the exception is cherries, for some reason they just do nothing)
- Plums, (makes him go bald)

- Mangos, (turns into a teen aged version of himself)
- Almonds, (turns into a perfect copy of the last person he sees)
- Prunes, (turns into a 80 y.o. version of himself)
- Olives, (skin and hair turn bright green)
Relationships:
- Relatively new in town, the only person he knows really in BP is Marlene and the gun shop owner
- He has a wedding band but to whom and where is a mystery.
- Currently has a blue-grey cat named Murphy, he was adopted by the stray kitty a few days after he arrived to Bridgeport.
Family
- His daughter is in town as a freshman medical student at the local collage and is currently living in a dorm on campus, Her name is Grace Summers and she is 19.
- Older sister (by 4 years), Sara Summers, lives in a town close by Bridgeport
Personality:
A quiet individual, he is very good at blending in. His personality can be as mercurial as his abilities and can put on many different 'masks' depending on what form he takes. There are some common traits though. In any form he loves coffee, the stronger the better. He has no memory of his former life but he believes he may be able to find some information in Bridgeport. He gets really animated when talking about guns, the man is a living breathing encyclopedia for guns, he figures this may be a clue to his past life (ex-cop). He is a stickler for the rules and appreciates order and calm (Bridgeport might not be the best place to find such things). Sometimes when he’s nervous he will unconsciously start twisting the wedding band around his finger. He can be a bit of a grouch sometimes, especially if its raining. He absolutely hates it when people lie to him and gets angry when lied to. Sometimes, if he's really angry, the claws may appear unconsciously.

An actual ref finally ^^;
He also has some scars that looks like bullet wounds, some on his chest and one on the left backside of his skull.
History:
Nick started off as Carl Moses Summers, born in a town close to Bridgeport. He really didn’t like growing up there, mostly because of the weather, cold and wet all~ the time. So at the first opportunity, he moves south down to Las Vegas, Nevada and became a part of the local PD. Life was good for the most part, one it was a desert (not a lot of rain down here) and two he found a wife, Morgan Hollins. They had a single child, they named her Grace Summers.
Morgan dies in a car accident when Grace is 17, a drunk driver in a 18 wheeler slammed into her. The next year was rather depressing, Nick gets absorbed into his work at the PD, while Grace tries to hold things together on the home front. Eventually things fell back into order, it wasn’t ’ok’ but things were getting better.
Until he was called in to assist in busting a ‘small’ drug raid. The police were grossly misinformed about the scope of the drug ring and the chaos that ensued was catastrophic. Many on both sides were killed or injured in the cross fire. While trying to calling for back up, Nick gets shot multiple times, including a shot to the back head (amnesia much?). Backup arrives and the soon the police do get the upper hand and those who were injured were sent to the hospital. Nick’s ambulance never reach its destination, it was found crashed in a ditch along the side of the highway. The EMTs were still there, but Nick’s body was not to be found. He was reported missing and possibly dead.
Grace moved back to Nick’s home town to live with her Aunt Sara, and after a year moved to Bridgeport to start her first year of collage. During that year, Nick has no idea what happened, he vaguely remembers wandering listlessly around the country. At the time, he had barely, if any, control over his new abilities. Eventually, he makes his way up to Bridgeport and was found by Marlene Torres. With her help he was able to control his shape-shifting, find out about some of his ’allergies’, find a job and an apartment. Currently he is searching about information about himself, something about Bridgeport reminds him of something. As to what, he has no idea.
Anything Else:
-Murphy is a girl kitty! Expect kittens XD
-Nick's shape shifting abilities are actually inherited but were not activated until his near death experience
-Grace may or may not have inherited her fathers abilities
-um i think i've covered everything but if anybody gots questions
Edit: fixed all the grammar and redid the history and added a little more detail, sorry its all long and stuff now PX
