Niko Novak.

[personal profile] oneirophrenic 2026-01-12 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
PLAYER: Rae
PRONOUNS: she/her

CHARACTER: Nikola “Niko” Novak
CELL & ROLE: Scientist Cell / Dreamscape Team — Department Head
TIME IN DISLINKED: ~18 years (10 years in recruitment, gap/training year, ~7 years dreamscape)
MINI BIO: croatian-born former soap star and hollywood agent who learned early how to become whatever a room needed. chipped before the fall (i suspect hollywood types were very on board with what the chip was selling) but was UnVeiled only two years after the fall. he was a disliked recruiter for 10 years, but after a double-agent incident left him injured and shaken, he retrained into dreamscape with a focus on rooting out traitors and spies. full bio!

IDEAS/LINES:
  • friends — he’s been around for quite a long time and he's very sociable!
  • former recruits — if you joined dislinked between 2 & 12 AI, he could've recruited you! let’s chat!
  • anyone who helps him with his leg — rehab buddies? people who remind him to use his cane more?
  • as the sun set fans - he was a fairly big (daytime) tv star in the US from 1993-1999 (assuming i’ve done my math correctly). most characters will be too young, but feel free to have your characters’ parents know him? or tell him they were too young. it’s a thing he handles so well every time it happens. :)
  • exes / flings — he’s been around for a long time! open to 1 or 2 exes (amicable, notably not amicable, whatever) and past flings with any gender!
  • literally anything — i am not at my best rn as far as coming up with lines is concerned, but i’m open to anything!

    Friends with Jax and possibly recruiter?! Jax who unfortunately has been a reason Niko can't be in the room due to Adri ahem 🫥

    Mav was a fan of his show and does not attempt to hide this.

    I need to noodle if Irina knows him via TV because it would've need to be dubbed in Russian, but otherwise I cannae think of immediate overlap. They are both Slavic????

    no he was still in the room, just in the cuck chair obviously

    (i'm kidding, but i will be back)

    ACTUALLY I have reconsidered because we have so few Europe-born Slavic characters- she will glomp on with this one culture connector

    [personal profile] oneirophrenic 2026-01-12 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    - yes to friends with jax, yes to recruiter :]
    - mav, he appreciates you. so does his ego
    - per your last comment, yeah, i think he would dote on her because of this connection! ♥

    i think his soap ended when casper was like… 3 ?? unless it’s meant to have ended closer to the fall. so it might be a thing her gran mentioned rather than a thing she actually remembers her watching

    Eyyyyy hello Mr U Recruited Me 🫶

    Rio thinks the idea of a soap star on board is hilarious and won't ever take that part of his history seriously I AM SORRY

    Genuinely think he gets a lot of "Pip, my boy!" very earnestly.

    RIO PLS HIS EGO

    i've decided that apollo's mom had a celebrity crush on niko bc it makes me laugh to imagine apollo getting to the dreamscape phase of recruitment and just being like :affleckemoji: when it's niko in charge of it

    obviously taryn knows him! i think sefi probably does not get to interact with him very much although i'm sure they still know each other. she might be a little scared of him lmao

    Adri says sup roomie.

    Lia would like you to steer clear please and thanks :D But he probably sees her fairly often ugh.

    Griff had a crush on him when he was in high school whoops.
