Name/Nickname:
Nick Thuan Vo
Age:
11
Gender:
Male
Height:
4’10
Weight:
95#
Alignment:
Chaotic Neutral
Affliction:
Medium – channels ghosts and is sometimes possessed
Nationality:
American
Occupation:
Deckhand
Skills and Abilities:
Varies based on his previous possession. Can name off every single Pokémon and eat a whole large pizza by himself. Owns as Meta Knight on Super Smash Bros. He can also play the violin very well, but keeps that a secret.
Weaknesses:
Normal human weaknesses. An exorcism would remove a possessing ghost, but it would not harm Nick.

Harold & Julia Vo – Father and Mother (still living in Orange County unaware of their son’s location)
Andy Meer – friend and boss
Raymond “Bug” Fletcher – friend and co-conspirator co-worker
Miles Concetto – co-worker
Jeremiah – co-worker
Marlene Torres – acquaintance
Personality:
Nick’s a pretty amiable kid for the most part. He likes to meet new people, especially kids his age. A surprisingly good listener. A go-with-the-flow kind of person mainly due to the nature of his affliction. Likes nothing better than eating junk food and watching cartoons in his pajamas. Sometimes gets existential trying to define who he is as a person.
Appearance:
History:
Since the day he was born, Nick’s mind had been like a revolving door for different spirits and demons trying to find passage into the physical realm. Most pass through rather quickly sounding like faint whispers in his head. Others who are more self-aware are able to completely possess Nick’s body to serve their desires. During these moments of possession, Nick seems to blackout and has no recollection later of what he was doing in that time. He will however retain some traits or preferences left by his possessors, i.e. English accent, craving for waffles, knowledge of 17th century France. This has led him to really question who he is and what in his mind his own original thoughts are. So far he has come up with this:
- His favorite flavor of frozen yogurt is Very Berry
- Hamburgers are totally overrated
- Fish are kind of creepy sometimes
It’s not a lot, but he’s working on it.
As Nick began to understand what was happening to him, he was unable to explain it to the people around him. His parents were convinced that he had a very serious mental disorder and had him diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The therapy did nothing and the medicine just made him feel emotionally numb in his periods of lucidity. Because of his condition, Nick was never able to attend school and so never met any regular children his age. His mother gave up her career after being pushed by her husband to homeschool the boy. This caused her to feel some resentment towards him and further estranged Nick from the world. He became like an island.
Perhaps it is because of his turbulent home life that the following events didn’t particularly distress Nick. One evening Nick awoke to find himself outside of his house and, upon further investigation, his whole state. It appeared that he had been blacked out for weeks, possessed by one ghost who made it his mission to travel to Bridgeport for some reason. Nick was imprinted by the specter with a desire to walk along the docks and smell the sea. It was there that he happened upon Andy and his crew of monsterlings. From there he was introduced to the color of Bridgeport and for the first time in his life truly felt like he was at home.
Anything Else:
Mother was a doctor. Father was a lawyer and they were loaded.
