Biography
When Nicholas Rise was born his parent had to flee the country due to an fictional war going on surrounding their hometown of Moscow, his parent was agents of an resistance and was being hunted due to their identities being discovered.
When they fled the country they went to America and put Nicholas in a home with decent and loving parents, these parents changed his last name from Rokoff to Rise to not arouse suspicion, they had false adoption papers filed up to conceal what had really happened and how they had really gotten Nicholas into their lives.
What happened to his parents he does not now, but he is considering them dead and doesn’t want to look for their killer because he can’t find a single lead as to how and what happened.
In his late teenager years he got into a lot of fights and school and even started fighting at a Maui Thai gym on the weekends and late afternoons to hone his skills in close hand to hand combat, he did this at that time to just be “the best” among his friend. Later this became invaluable experience.
He started getting into more and more fights and he finally decided to not live here anymore, he got his diploma and moved away from his parents in Chicago.
Three years later he found out his parents (the Rise’s) had been murdered in their own home, he had an uncontrollable urge to find out who did this to his second pair of parents.

Now, 10 years later he is still working for Animism and has started searching for his real parents again as he at the same time works for Animism and takes long vacations to cities all over the world, is he looking for clues to his parents while visiting these places?

Hvordan karakteren ser ut:
Jeg var litt i tvil om hva jeg skulle lage, men jeg valgte til slutt å gå i en retning som jeg tror jeg har lagret lenge og har lenge hatt lyst å bare få ut av systemet mitt. Jeg vil lage en leiemorder/assassin type character som jobber for et større firma som muligens er korrupt og han må stoppe dem eller noe slikt. Jeg vet dette er en arketype historie men jeg holder meg til den fordi jeg syns det er en bra historie og noen gang er arketyper veldig bra å holde seg etter. Jeg vil at han skal ha litt sånn deadpool/blade/mercenary look og mood. Han skal være cocky og han skal gå i en lang svart frakk/coat og han skal ha på seg en army vest under, han skal også bruke kniver som våpen og er ekspert på hand to hand combat. Det vil si at jeg vil lage en character som bruker ikke så stealth klær men samtidig så er han det, han kunne jo ha brukt tynne og stille klær, men jeg vil lage han litt spesiell så jeg gir han litt baggy klær og slikt for at han skal skille seg litt ut ifra standar arketypen leiemorder, jeg var innom å kanskje ha en dress på han, men jeg føler det blir for likt Hitman. Jeg skal også ha på han en maske, dette er for å gi karakteren mer følelse og så den ikke blir så kjedelig.

Om tegningene:
Jeg laget først sillouetter, jeg fant mye inspirasjon igjennom nettet og fant til slutt ut hva jeg ville lage, det var slik jeg fant fram til de sillouettene jeg har laget.
Etter dette formet jeg ut mine sillouetter for å finne ut hvordan characteren faktisk skulle se ut, jeg fokuserte på de hovedsakelige tingene som klær og formen på kroppen.
Senere utviklet jeg en final pose som jeg laget og tegnet med "guidelines" fra mine tidligere tegninger og som til slutt ga meg et final bilde som jeg er relativt fornøyd med, og ut i fra dette laget jeg en T-pose tegning.
