Nick is the only known human to survive the galactic genocide of the human race. He is currently operating as the Captain of a small transport craft, the Haphazard.Born in a small dales town in the north of England, Nick was raised on Earth until his father died in an accident at the Space Corps construction yards around Luna. Not long after, Nick’s mother moved to Luna City Three, and here he met Eugene Preston, an Oretan, and Reginald Maiar, an Alexan. The three of them spent their youths causing mischief around the Luna cities.
Before his sixteenth birthday, Nick’s mother committed suicide at her workplace in Luna City Four. She had been diagnosed as clinically depressed not long after the death of Nick’s father, and Nick believed that she only kept herself going for his sake. Her death led to Nick acting more irrational, taking risks where he normally wouldn't, but Eugene and Reg stood by him throughout his own bouts of depression.
Eventually, Nick managed to pull himself together before he could do himself, or anyone else, any serious harm. Years of joyriding hoppers and hoverbikes were put to good use as he took a job pulling freight across the Sol System. This lasted six months before he was noticed by the Space Corps after pulling various dangerous stunts in his cargo freighter. The Space Corps realised that he was an exceptional pilot and offered him a choice; enlist or lose his pilot licence.
After completing his formal training, his escort assignment was interrupted by the Akiran War. After three months on the front lines, Nick became the most senior member of his squadron, and with the conflict escalating, the Space Corps was desperate for experienced pilots. Promoted to Wing Commander of the Crescents, he had to rebuild the squadron from raw recruits. The 101st Crescents went on to be the most well know fighter squadron of the entire war, defying all the odds and completing some of the most dangerous assignments. Towards the end of the war, Nick was approached to be the pilot for a special operations team called STORM.
Over a period of fourteen years, STORM performed behind enemy lines, defending the GSF from those that would try to take advantage of situation with the GSF at war and during its recovery in the aftermath. This was until the incident at Callatrax VI, an incident that Nick, and Reg, are not comfortable talking about. The Space Corps officially disbanded STORM, but rather than lose the abilities of some of its best agents, the Space Corps sent them deep undercover.
After six years of near isolation, Nick decided to retire and was returning to Earth to formally hand in his notice and live out the rest of his life in peace. Unfortunately, the planet was destroyed in what is being called The Human Extinction Event, or THEE, and Nick is believed to be the last living Human in the galaxy, which has made him a target of those wishing to protect him, and those that wish to make a tidy profit from his capture.
