This wast just a doodle of Niko that went a bit out of hand and I still really like how it looks.
*___________________________
There isn’t much known about Niko other than, that he earns most of his living from being a scavenger and from courier jobs. He knows the exclusion zone and its hazards like no one else.

Niko (sometimes called Nick) is a man of action, not of many words, so he keeps communication to a minimum. On a short glance he might come off as a very simple minded person with a laid-back outlook on life – and he prefers to keep it that way. In reality Niko is extremely observant of people and things happening around him. He has a good grip on his emotions and is able to act calm even during stressful events. This makes it very difficult for others to read him or guess his true intentions.

He enjoys simple pleasures like smoking, drinking and physical activity. He prefers being alone, but doesn’t mind company. Niko’s favorite food are potatos and eggs of any sort. He speaks Russian and English.

His hobbies are the outdoors, fighting and being cryptic about everything. He suffers from fear of heights and has a slight problem with authorities.

Niko tries to keep an eye over Eden and RJ during the story. He is the most level-headed one of the group and is unimpressed with their shenanigans.

For a long time he was my comfort character to draw. His design is fun for doodling and its fun to use him as a base for style experiments.
