Nicknames: Nikki, dumbass, Pretty (please?)
Birthday: March 11th 2002 - 23 years old
Pronouns/Gender: He/Him - Male
Physical Description: (John Koviak) Hey there short king~ Nikki Abendroth barely tops 5’ 8” and his wiry frame doesn’t do him any favors in that regard. Nikki leans into it, referring to himself as fun size and when he’s not in Corporate-core for work he plays with alt and non-conforming fashion choices. With chest length straight black hair, blue eyes and pale skin, Nikki loves playing up the pretty little baby goth when he’s on his own time.
He would love to get visible tattoos or piercings but right now he’s self-aware enough to know that dad’s money is paying for his lifestyle and between the two choices he’ll take the double wide spa tub, the luxury car, and the stocked wine fridge. He’s got old lobe holes thought that he keeps empty most of the time and well... No one at work is looking at his chest through his suit jacket.
Occupation: Communications Manager at Empire Financial Services (Aka: nepo baby)
Personality: Pet me and call me pretty. Nikki Thrives on any attention he can get and if he gets the opportunity to make a spectacle of himself he will without a thought. He can’t stand being alone. It makes him antsy and insecure so even when he’s at work, he’s flitting between offices and desks ‘networking’. Off hours he’s at one of his favorite clubs, or hosting private get-togethers with whoever is available that evening.
On the surface he’s needy, hedonistic, generous with his friends (which is anyone), and kind of a dumbass. Beneath that… he’s still all those things but he’s also slow to trust, insecure, and craves connection. He wants close friendships. He wants romance. He wants to genuinely care for someone and be cared for in return but he can’t figure out how to turn the Act off long enough to reach that space. He’s too scared of the vulnerability that doing so would bring.
When he can put all that aside and rub those little braincells together, he’s actually quite clever at his job. He just has little chance to flex those skills outside of the strict image of his father’s company.
Backstory: Nikki comes from money. Both of his parents worked in finance and even after their divorce (which was a mutually beneficial work of art) he and his twin sister Izabella wanted for nothing. They went to the same private schools as children until highschool when Izabella moved out of state with their mother so she could gain early acceptance to a top ranking political sciences college. They keep in touch occasionally through text but aren’t that close.
Nikki stayed with their father and after he graduated highschool his father shook loaded hands with the right people to get Nikki into Almagest University where he majored in communications with a minor in marketing. Four years later he has his Bachelors and is working full time at his father’s institution. In truth, Nikki posts generic boomer-appealing social media posts and stamps his approval on whatever the print and digital advertising teams slide across his desk. For this he collects a very tidy salary and as long as he doesn’t publicly humiliate his father too much, he’s left to his own devices.
In an effort to curb that tendency towards humiliation, his father pays for a highrise flat in the financial district, a not-too-ostentatious Mercedes convertible, and has Nikki as a shared account holder on his Amex card. Nikki is made well aware that it all goes away if he fucks up too royally. So he behaves himself… mostly.
