Nikki stands at 5'5" when he's in his human form and weighs around 150 pounds. His nails and toenails are always black, but this isn't paint. Their just black in his human form. In addition, as one might expect as a member of his race, he smells faintly of roses.

Weakness~ Nikki can't swim, and as such, hates water, and by extension, water magic. When wet, all the fight seems to go out of him and he'll become sort of apathetic. This can be a real problem in the middle of a fight. Once he's dry though, his fire will come back.



Fear~ Bugs. He just hates bugs for no reason other than the fact that they're bugs. From a fly to a roach, he'll do whatever it takes to keep them from touching him, even if that means breathing fire on them.

Nikki has a pretty short temper. Its not too difficult to get him riled up about most anything. He's half ready to fight with anyone except for his leader. When he's not hovering on the brink of explosion, he's actually someone who you can attempt to get along with. The best way o gt on his good side is flattery. It may be superficial, and he knows this, but he quite honestly doesn't care. He likes being told he looks good, by anyone with one exception: humans. Nikki hates humans with a passion. In his mind, it would be even better to just get rid of humans entirely, before their ability to use magic spreads throughout the species again. He wants to protect his kin, and all magical beings from the horror of the war that they'd had with the humans.



XX????y ℌistory ????oes ???? ????it ????ike ????his...:

Nikki was born to a clan of dragons known as Rose Dragons. They were so named for their pink scale and the fact that if you managed to get close enough to one, you would be able to detect the faint scent of roses. In human form, the more a Rose Dragon sweats, the stronger the scent gets. Rose dragons, despite their coloring, are actually quite vicious. In a clutch of dragon eggs, the hatchlings are practically born fighting. When the parents think the eggs are about to hatch, they take them to a birthing caver, which is a small underground cave that the eggs are dropped into. The hatchlings begin fighting with each other upon hatching. The ones who either survive in the hole, or manage to climb out are kept. Those that don't survive are usually food for the hatchlings that choose to stay down in the hole.



Nikki was one such hatchling. He was really lazy at the time and didn't feel like wasting his energy climbing out, so he chose a warm spot in the middle of the cavern and lashed out at whoever tried to move in on the small bit of territory he had claimed. Later, as he grew up, Nikki was told that his race had been forced to adopt this practice because during the war, the human had begun to specifically target rose dragons because their scales were both beautiful and any part that came off the outside of a rose dragon smelled of roses. the race was forced to weed out the docile hatchlings in order to ensure that as many survived human assaults as possible. After the war ended and humans lost their connection to magic, the Rose Dragons continued the practice, believing that the humans could come back at any moment to try and finish what the dragons referred to as the genocide of their race.



With each story of the atrocities of humans, Nikki's hate for them only grew deeper. He wanted more than anything to be able to go out and wipe out a small village. He almost managed to sneak away to do he very thing a few times, but was always caught before he had gone halfway. He never thought to go while in his smaller, unscaled form so he wouldn't leave so wide a trail. Though his parents and elders never scolded him for wanting to wipe humans out, they did reprimand him for being so uncontrolled when he tried to go away to do the deed. If he had been allowed to continue, then hostile attention would have come to his village, which quite possibly could have sparked the war all over again, or at least a smaller version if the other magical beings felt that the rose dragons had dug their own grave and chose not to come to their aide. An elder suggested that if Nikki wanted to learn a way to be able to get back at humans without his natural weapons, that he should take up a few martial studies, such as archery and magic.



The next century of his life was devoted to his studies. Nikki felt that if he mastered both magic and the art of archery, he would be free to roam the world, ridding it of humans, one spell or arrow at a time. It was discovered that he had an especially sharp eye, which helped him in his archery. It also helped him learn to cool his temper, because if he got too angry while shooting, he had a tendency to break his bow. This calming helped him learn the three spheres of magic he was able to tap into. It was expected of him to know fire and earth, as fire was a specialty of his father's while his mother favored earth spells. While practicing archery one day, his third was discovered. He was out in the forest, trying to hit a knot high in a tree, but so far his arrows had fallen short. He wished for a wind that would flow right along he path he saw in his mind, giving the arrow just enough power to reach the knot. The very next shot he took, a wind just as he wished for came up and carried his arrow to the target. His family line was examined, and it was found that his great grandfather had been a dragon of a different species that had specialized in wind spells. They did the best they could to teach him how to control it, but as none of the member of his village could use wind magic, most of what Nikki knows is from instinct.



Even with all this, the urge to go out and hold humans accountable for past crimes still remained. When the leader came to recruit him to track down the humans who had begun to gain a connection to magic again, he jumped on the chance. He hoped, no he prayed, that one of them would resist so that he would be allowed to at the very least 'quiet them down', and hopefully more than that.

He has a crush on the leader, which is one of the main reasons that he listens to him when he's told to calm down and not go on a human extermination spree.
