This is a more updated version of my OC, Nicolas the Mongoose. His story takes place within the IDW universe.

History

Nicolas is the second child of Michael and Agee and the younger brother of Samantha, who is 4 years older than him. As he got older, he enjoyed fishing with his father and cooking with his mother. He also had a close bond with his sister.

When he was 8, his mother, an archeologist, discovered 3 of the legendary Onyx Stones on Onyx Island, and when his father, a scientist and inventor, studied them along with his partner and good friend Krait, who was also an uncle figure to Nicolas, they discovered their immense power. However, due to an accident, Krait became corrupted by them, and Michael feared for his family and created the Onyx Gauntlets, but unfortunately, when Krait decided he didn't need them anymore, he killed both him and Agee with his own Gauntlet in front of Nicolas. Deeply upset and angry, Nicolas took the gauntlets and fought Krait. Finding it amusing, Krait battled him in a mostly one-sided fight. Nicolas found one of Krait's grenades and threw it in his face, but not before getting a scar that ran across his own face. As he escaped, he ran home, where he believed Samantha was, only to see it in flames. He frantically searched the house, but the only thing he was able to save was the family photo album. Believing his sister was killed, he escaped in the family jet and went on the run for 7 years, becoming emotionally distant.

Shortly after the events of Sonic Generations, Sonic and his friends found him losing a fight against General Frill and dozens of Krait's robots, so they helped him. Although he initially didn't trust them, he eventually warmed up to them, especially Cream and Amy, who became like sisters to him.

They soon found out that Krait freed Eggman from White Space and recruited him into his empire. When they went to stop him, they came across one of Krait's enforcers, Oscure, and battled them, barely escaping. They were all later captured by Krait's forces, but were freed by Eggman, who revealed that he had actually been kidnapped and his army taken from him. Thanking him, they then became temporary allies to fight Krait. Before escaping, however, Nicolas again fought Oscure, who then revealed themselves to be Samantha. Krait had told her that Nicolas killed their parents, and in her grief, believed him for a while, but later realized what really happened, but still blamed Nicolas for not doing more to protect them. Nicolas, in his shock, was badly beaten by her, but was rescued by his friends. After this, Nicolas became a bit colder.

Later, through Eggman's intelligence, the heroes discovered that Krait had partially restored the Harbinger, an ancient superweapon capable of wiping out all life on Mobius, and together they formed a plan to destroy it by using a computer virus. When they infiltrated the base, Nicolas encountered Sam again and beat her this time, but spared her, as he wasn't the monster she became. She was touched by this and attempted to seek redemption by helping them. Nico and his friends were then seemingly trapped by Krait, and he used the Mind Peeler on Nico, but, as he had installed a bio-computer virus into himself, infected Krait, affecting his entire army. They then fought him and his officers, with him and Samantha personally fighting Krait to stop him from activating the weapon at the last minute. They succeeded in destroying Krait, his army, and the Harbinger superweapon, but Sam went missing, with her leaving him a message that she had gone to help those she had hurt as Krait's enforcer, and she promised to return one day to pick up where they left off.

Soon after, at Cream’s insistence, Vanilla allowed him to stay with their family, which was like his own in many ways. He then participated in many adventures with Sonic and his friends, such as fighting Eggman when he took over the world, fighting Neo Metal Sonic, dealing with the Metal Virus, and fighting the Deadly 6. He made many more friends, the closest being Whisper and Tangle, the latter whom he developed a crush on.

During the events of Sonic Frontiers, he discovered that Krait might still be alive, so he went off to confront him, with Cream and Cheese sneaking along, much to his irritation. He reluctantly teamed up with Tangle and Whisper, whom Cream had contacted, and shortly after teamed up with Mimic, Krait's latest enforcer, after convincing him to help them. They discovered that "Krait" was actually his former scientist Dr. Nag pretending to be him. During this adventure, Cream and Whisper helped him to admit his feelings to Tangle, who was also too shy to admit her feelings. After defeating Nag, everyone (except for Mimic, who sacrificed himself in redemption) went back home, and Nicolas and Tangle began a relationship.

Personality

At first, Nicolas was quiet and emotionally distant, not willing to make friends as he didn't want to deal with losing them and usually preferring to be alone. After bonding with Sonic and his friends, though, he showed his true personality as a very sweet, kind, compassionate, and funny person. Despite this, he prefers not to involve his friends in his own dangerous adventures and doesn't like sharing his personal thoughts and feelings with others. He's emotionally vulnerable and has low self-esteem, being more sensitive than he seems and getting angry many times, but works hard to overcome his anger. He doesn't always pay attention and has a tendency to let his mind wander, often casually replying, "What?" whenever someone says something to him. He's also very protective of those he's close to, especially his adopted family, even being a little overprotective at times. Although he can seem confident, he can be ditzy at times and can become shy and bashful with girls around his age, especially Tangle. He is witty and sarcastic, and also has a witty sense of humor that some people may consider odd. Despite his accomplishments, Nico tends to be quite modest. He also looks out for those younger than him, such as Cream, Amy, Tails, Belle, and Charmy. He enjoys music, but dislikes singing and dancing, although he'll do it for Cream after she begs him to. He also has a sensitive, tender side to him that others don't often see, such as his caring attitude toward Cream and occasionally having deep conversations with others.

Abilities

Onyx Gauntlets - his main weapons, they were invented by his father Michael and can each generate energy blades and shapeshift into blasters. The blades can rotate and spin very quickly. They're powered by the Onyx Stones. His blades are light red in color.

Cyber Spectacles - invented by Michael, it's controlled by small buttons on the rims and has many functions (most of them virtual on the lenses/screens), such as binoculars, microscope, targeting, and tracking. It can also transform into aqua and gas masks when needed.

Jump Boots - invented by Michael, they resemble normal boots, but contain small but powerful repulsors that can enable the user to jump high and far.

The Jager - a large, roomy jet, white in color, with enough room for at least 6 people. Originally meant as the family vehicle, it's been upgraded with weapons and a targeting system, as well as improved engines and strengthened hull. It has a fusion of old-fashioned, modern, and futuristic flight controls.

Piloting - he has the ability to skillfully fly his jet, along with many other vehicles that he comes across.

Combat - he is very skilled at fighting, such as swordfighting and hand-to-hand combat.

Marksmanship - thanks to his glasses, he has excellent targeting skills.

Durability - he can take a surprising amount of punishment and pain, but only as much as realistically possible, and he does have a limit for how much he can handle.

Intelligence - while not a super-genius, he does have some understanding on building and repairing machines.

Survival skills - he developed these over the 7 years he was on the run.

Leadership - he has a good sense of leadership, which allowed him to command many soldiers during the war against Eggman and to lead smaller teams.

Onyx Nicolas - by harnessing the power of the Onyx Stones, even just one, he obtains a super form, but it's very difficult to control and doesn't use it often as it has the potential to quickly corrupt his mind.

Weaknesses

Emotional Vulnerability - he developed PTSD after Krait killed his parents and can lose control of his emotions at times, becoming viciously angry or overwhelmingly upset.

Onyx Stone Corruption - like most others, he has great difficulty controlling the Onyx Stones, and while he can handle it better than others, he's still susceptible to their corruptive power.

Bad Eyesight - without his glasses, he can hardly see anything, even things close to his face.

Heights - he has a small fear of heights and can become uneasy around them, but usually can suck it up and ignore it.
