[ Player Name ] : Frudence [ Personal DW ] :frudence [ Age ] : 26 [ Timezone ] : CST [ Other Characters ] : Caden/Riku Replica
[ Character's Name ] : Nico [ Character's Age ] : Grown. (Adult bird age.) [ Series ] :Name Rio: The Movie (2011) [ Canon Point ] : Flying out of the Smugglers' Plane
[ History ] : All that's canon anyway. Basically Nico knew Pedro & Rafael for at least a year prior to the movie, plus he'd met Luiz at least once. Nico has also traveled outside of Brazil at some point in his life, but resides primarily in the neighborhood of Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro.
[ Personality ] : The first thing anyone will notice about Nico is how much he enjoys singing, dancing, making music, partying - everything that Carnaval encompasses. He is thus a very outgoing and animated bird, no pun intended. He is in general very sassy, makes jokes often, and has a positive outlook on life. Beyond that, however, he is actually well-intentioned. He doesn't ignore what people say; he just tries to reroute the conversation in a more upbeat direction whenever possible. This can and does entail helping birds in distress with whatever little things they need - a song to lift the mood, an extra set of wings on a journey, or tracking down a lost friend, for example.
The quickest way to concern Nico is through someone being in physical danger of some sort - including himself. Since he is so small, even compared to other birds, he is actively aware of what he can and cannot do on the scale of raw power. (This is one reason he supports Pedro's capoeira.) After that, though, he will also sob dispassionately if someone speaks out against samba - his favorite style of performance. He is more than capable of enjoying various kinds of music, jokes, hobbies, etc. - but outright dislike of any one genre hurts his heart. He openly supports creativity and praises it when he sees it. By and large, he is difficult to ruffle and easy to excite.
Admittedly Nico's internal motivations are very basic - he wants a life that isn't restrictive. While this is very simplistic, it's not easy to accomplish and won't be easy to maintain in an RP setting, without friends and without his chosen environ of the greater Rio area. The mere fact that there's a limit on the sky will disorient and frustrate him. On the other hand, since he is a professional tag-along, he should also have little difficulty slipping in and out of various friendship circles as he finds himself enjoying their company or able to help them in small ways.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] : Nico is mostly a rhythm singer and accompanies himself with percussion instruments, including his own hat that he uses like a tambourine and drumming on (small) human objects. He thoroughly enjoys jamming with others, interweaving his talents with theirs. Interestingly, he is the only bird to accessorize, using a soda-cap hat for a hat, on a day-to-day basis; the only other ones that do (the macaques and Luiz the bulldog) do so for special occasions. He will even use his hat as a performance element like rolling it across his wings and flipping it around. He can also use it as a frisby-like weapon; since it's made out of metal, it can pack a punch. He is very agile, not just in the air.
Nico is more perceptive than his compatriots, in terms of small details of both vision and situation analysis. He is also very open to new ideas, probably due to traveling. That being said, though, he is still not book-smart the way Blu is. Nico does not know how to open cages with his beak, nor does he exhibit the string-playing ability of Pedro, and he certainly doesn't know how to operate machinery like Luiz. He knows how to hitch a ride on vehicles and dance around human objects, but it's largely a passive interaction with the larger world.
His strongest trait would have to be the ability to command a room. He is nowhere near shy, but specifically he has the charisma to speak up in crowds, direct the actions of a group, sing concert style or as a balladeer, and attract new friends easily.
[ Other Important Facts ] : He speaks both Portuguese and English variants of the universal animal language in Rio's mythos. There is evidence that the animals understand human speech too and that it is not an ability unique to Blu.
[ Questions? Comments? Concerns? ] : Obviously I plan on him staying the size of an ordinary canary, but hopefully with a necklace-style SFC for him to touch with his beak to activate. He's capable of supporting it with his wings for face-forward videos & voice responses. I personally don't plan on having him type ever; I think he can recognize words, but not write them back out.
