eye colour;
A murky, green/blue colour
hair colour;
It's sort of a soft brown, looking darker in some lights than in others
height;
6'5"-ish
other physical traits;
Nick is the sort of guy that people tend to glance at, then look back at to make sure they've seen right. He's incredibly tall, almost too tall to be allowed, with broad shoulders and muscular arms and legs. From years of Quidditch, Order service in his youth, and ruthless training in his spare time for lack of better things to do, he's very fit and well toned.
His hair is sort of permanently ruffled, even if he does brush it and his eyes turn different colours in different lights, but overall he has a nice sort of friendly face. His expressions are generally relaxed, but he is one of those people that tends to walk around with a permanent frown. This isn't because he's troubled more often than not, but just that his face is that way when he's not having a conversation or focusing on something.
He has very white, quite large teeth which makes his smile incredibly bright and very noticable. He has very light stubble most of the time, but it can get out of hand. His dimples are quite formidable, but make him look a lot less threatening than he would do otherwise.
clothing style;
Nick's style is very nondescript. He spends his winters, autumns and springs wearing straight cut jeans of varying shades. In the summer, depending on the weather, he might trade in his jeans for a pair of three-quarter lengths. He has a tendency for wearing plain cotton t-shirts in white or grey, with an darker coloured button down shirt on open over the top. He's nearly always wearing doc martins, unless he's going to the gym or something in which case he'll choose something more appropriate.
It's safe to say that Nick does not put all that much effort into his appearance.
good traits;
Smart;; With a level head and a nature which makes it extraordinarily easy for him to retain facts and bits of information. He has a good memory which means that he stores everything that can be useful to him and he's quick enough that he can sift through it all to find something relevant at a moment's notice. There's a reason why he got put in Ravenclaw, after all.
Humour;; Along with natural above average intelligence, he's also got quite a sharp tongue as well. He's very sarcastic and has quite quick wit. He also likes to make people laugh, so he's quite forthcoming with it. He relates better on this level to people with a similar sense of humour, obviously, and sometimes his attempts can cause offense rather than merriment, but it's never intentional.
Heart;; For a smart and sarcastic Ravenclaw, some people are surprised to find that Nick is all heart. He's got the kind of nature that means he'd bend over backwards for his friends or family. He's just one of those people who simply likes to see others happy and he likes to be a part of it as well.
flaws;
Laziness;; Nick is a chronic procrastinator. He just puts things off and off until they never get done. He could have achieved a lot more with his life than what he has if he applied himself. He could also be a lot smarter if he applied himself, rather than just barely above average.
Cynicism;; He's never really been big on faith of any kind, and that seeped into his entire life somewhere along the line. He's cynical of people's intentions nearly all the time, and nearly always just a little bit suspicious.
Quiet;; A man of a few words is one of the best ways to describe Nick. He's reasonably happy to sit in silence, and often goes hours without speaking. He'll say something if it needs something and usually that's the only time he'll bother.
habits;
Besides frowning when he's indisposed, grinning very widely so he shows off all his teeth, and pushing his tongue into the pouch of his cheek when he's thinking, or biting his lip at certain times. He also seems to ruffle his already ruffled hair quite a bit.
He's not much of a drinker, he doesn't smoke. He's fairly plain that way, and proud to be so.

brief history;
Born in the English countryside as the middle child to pure blood parents, Nicholas grew up in near complete comfort. His family was wealthy, but not so wealthy that they became the lazy, stuck up sort who believe that everything will just fall into their laps. His older brother made sure that he grew up with a sense of what it was to be tough and strong due to his affectionate bullying, whereas his younger sister influenced him with her general innocence and made sure he also kept what it was to be kind, considerate and perceptive. He could not say that he'd learned anything from his parents really, but he appreciates them all the same.
When he attended Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw the second the hat touched his head. He was, honestly, a little bit disappointed at first because he'd hoped to be sorted into Gryffindor because everything he'd heard had favoured that house. He never admitted this to anyone and he soon became much more content with his lot when he realised that Ravenclaws were respected too and were on pretty equal footing when it came to strengths.
He passed a lot of his schooling without incidence, bombing along comfortably with average grades without putting in any effort, and then returning to his parents house in the summer. Then when he was in his fifth year he met Shelby Crescent. They hit it off immediately and then fell in love soon afterwards. Nick's parents objected to his young marriage and fatherhood, but he sacrificed his relationship with them because he was completely in love with her.
They juggled five children, a reasonably successful marriage and serious Order work well for quite some time, but then after finding himself in a difficult situation on a mission, Nick was reported dead. He fretted constantly during this time as he tried to make his way back to his family, but by the time he did he found that his wife had moved on and remarried.
With his parents and siblings no longer willing to accept him and his wife and children no longer needing him, Nick became very disheartened. He was always the first to volunteer for Order missions, the more dangerous and the furthest away the better because he wanted to run away from his life and he was half hoping that something might happen to him, and then at least he would accomplish something worthwhile again. This, however, put a rift between him and his children as he couldn't see them as often as he should.
Then the war ended, and he got a job with the ministry in the department of magical games and sport. He's been there ever since, making his way monotonously through boring and uninspiring work days and visits every other week to his kids. He doesn't lead all that exciting a life, but he's long since stopped caring and has come to terms with the fact that this is his lot and that's alright.
and now we're grown up orphans
