Nick Redgrad

Nicholas Redgrad is one of the main members of the Salty Meme Squad. He has many connections and often acts as the organizer of events and wayfinder for the group. He was a mere acquaintance of the squad members for a long time before he gradually assimilated into the group and gained his La Reverie powers.

Background
Nick was born and raised in [REDACTED], thus he has vast knowledge of local history, events, and locations. He has a [REDACTED] family life and is part of a set of male twins. His father is [REDACTED]. Nick had a heavy interest in shonen-genre anime and toy games growing up, and most of his childhood consisted of collecting and playing with Pokemon, Beyblade, Bakugan, and Yu-Gi-Oh. Both he and his brother faced heavy bullying in school, attributing to his thick skin and powerful resilience in battle.

He officially joined the Salty Meme Squad in sixth grade after sitting at the same lunch table as Ian Fifa, Cody Sneffits, and (for some time) Michael Drawer, and eventually Amelia Ray. Nick was the fourth squad member to discover his attunement to one of the stones of La Reverie.

Appearance
Nick is a large, tan-skinned teenage boy with curly, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and rectangular glasses with dark frames. He typically wears comfortable, loose clothing, gym shorts, sneakers, and plain T-shirts. Being the "tank" of the group during fights, he has a large amount of scars and marks on his body, both from battle and from scuffles with his brother or others.

Personality
Nick is the powerhouse of the group. He has lots of energy and is fun and playful, and isn't afraid to be loud and gain attention. He is highly defensive of both himself and his friends, having had a rough past, and likes to collect and carry various knives. He tends to act as the "bodyguard" of the group and will quickly step in for those who are close to him. Nick is also very passionate about the things he loves the most, like video games, music, and animals. He is also opinionated and will voice it whenever given the chance.

La Reverie Abilities
Nick is attuned to the Black stone, and his Hero Form is Atlas. Through this, he can run at incredibly fast speeds, use cryokinesis (ice manipulation), and has superhuman strength. He also has extremely high resistance to damage, far beyond that of the other members in Hero Form. He has two weapons combined- a sword called Lamentio, and a shield called Dark Mirror.

Along with the other squad members, Nick can also travel through fictional universes without altering the actual events of the stories. His familiar is the dog.
