PERSONALiTY.
foolhardy
Plans? Thinking ahead? Consequences? All are important questions that one should ask oneself before forging ahead with any new idea. Nikko missed that memo. It doesn't matter what it is, once he gets an idea in his head, Nikko will not slow down, will not stop to ask for directions, and, no, damn it, he's not making any pit stops! He is bold and fearless by nature, and this strongly colors his decision making skills - or rather, his lack thereof. Still, it's hard not to find some admiration in his complete disregard for all things common sense, his sheer determination often the only thing moving him forward in his severe lack of fore-planning.

spitfire
If a lack in common sense wasn't enough, his brash nature often causes Nikko to appear hot-headed, and easily angered. And, well, this is true - though truthfully, once Nikko is understood wholly, one will notice that his angry nature is but a small piece of him. The male is easy to provoke, but no worries, an irritated or defensive Nikko is more humorous than it is dangerous. If one chooses the right words, it's even easier to turn his harsh, angry words into a stuttering jumble of embarrassed nonsense.

boisterous
Ah, but it gets better! Not only is our young canine dumb and abrasive, he's loud. Definitely too loud for any sane creature's ears. He doesn't like to be ignored or looked at as though he doesn't exist, and this fear that he seems to have causes him to make sure he's the center of attention. Always. Happy, depressed, or angry, Nikko will let you know, and he will let you know with an incessant amount of whining, yapping, or exaggerated growling. Everything he does, he seems to do with an uncanny amount of energy and stamina.

upbeat
Some call him naive. Nikko likes to disagree - as he does with, well, everything. Even in the darkest of hours, this shaggy-furred mutt will always try to see silver lining in everything. Even if he has to imagine it, even if he has to pretend to see it. Generally, Nikko always has a grin on his face, or a brightness to his eyes, a hop in his step. He loves to laugh, and he loves to make others laugh. Happiness is something that he has always looked for, and it is something that he always hopes to bring to others. Be warned, if you frown around him, he will try to do something ridiculous to make you smile.

heroic
From the moment he could walk, when his personality was just beginning to show itself, Nikko has always strove to protect those who could not protect themselves. He lives for it, really. Finding a damsel in distress, rescuing her, being her hero. Yes, it is safe to say that Nikko dreams of meeting his love this way. Valiantly racing to the rescue at every distress call, it's hard to say that his dream will never come true - even with all of the, er, less desirable pieces of his personality.

vulgar
Much to the dismay of mothers everywhere, Nikko has a foul mouth. Words lacking in tact tumble from his mouth like incontrollable lava, setting everything aflame. As much as he hates to admit it, most of the scuffles that this boy finds himself in, are his own doing. While, again, he is not a cruel or soulless individual, he is careless and crass. Of course, even when he isn't focusing his irritation on others, no intelligible thing comes from his mouth.

free spirit
Not even Death's presence can shake this boy's resilience, and this is proven in his carefree nature. Prancing about, chasing wild tales of heroism, finding his own damsels to protect; Nikko loves being able to do what he wants. And there is not a soul alive who can reign in his energy, his thirst for life. This, of course, often gives the impression that Nikko is selfish, self-serving. This isn't entirely true, though it would be a lie to say it's completely false. Nikko simply likes being himself, and he doesn't want to change for anybody.

determined
Once a goal in his mind is set, Nikko will pursue that goal until he overcomes it, or dies trying. Some suggest that he's a fool, stubborn to a fault, and will never get anywhere. Naturally, he disagrees.

Morpheous
When Nikko's world violently and suddenly shifted, something inside his brain shifted, as well. Tragedy brought about a sickeningly sweet-voiced personality, where all his wrongs are repeated to him, his shortcomings laughed about and cruelly picked apart. In the reserves of his mind, lives an entity that calls himself Morpheous. He is about as opposite as one can be from Nikko. Calculating, precise, frighteningly collected, and a thirst for blood that seems to overpower even Nikko. Morpheous is everything Nikko isn't, and they both know it. If there is one thing that the young canid takes seriously, it is Morpheous. He struggles to keep what he considers his demon deep in the prisons of his consciousness, where Nikko hopes no one will ever discover him.

(NOTE: Morpheous is not real. Nikko's severely damaged mind created him in an attempt to make sense of the awful tragedy that he awoke to. However, Nikko does believe he is real, and this, in a way, gives "Morpheous" the power to overcome Nikko. Because of this, in a heightened state of emotion(anger or fear), Nikko will 'black out', thus handing over control to the imaginary demon. The two also communicate, though this is done inside Nikko's head.)
