Growing up at E.D.E.N, Nikki's life was restrictive and highly sheltered, defined only by rules and rankings he couldn't comprehend. His first year post cloning, this didn't feel like too large of an issue - there was plenty to explore within the lab itself, and the sheer novelty of being alive kept him fairly preoccupied. However, whispers of the escape of one of the older subjects eventually forced him to confront the possibility of life beyond the lab, a concept which soon became a fixation.

Over the next four years, he gathered every detail he could get his paws on regarding life outside the lab, slowly concocting an elaborate escape plan. The more he was warned that he was different to most people, that he wouldn't fit in anywhere else, the more dedicated to his plot he became; within the lab, he was just another face in the crowd - but outside, he would be loved and admired like he deserved. It took four years, but eventually his hard work paid off and he found himself experiencing his first real taste of freedom.

Upon realising that he could quite literally do whatever he wanted, Nikki immediately jumped to the most obvious conclusion - becoming an internet sensation. Despite his initial confusion with the app, he quickly found himself rocketing to tiktok stardom, with viewers concoting elaborate theories regarding his appearance and claims that he was an escaped government experiment. While a particularly dedicated portion of his fanbase are convinced he is telling the truth, the general belief is that his account is an unorthodox viral marketing campaign for some kind of tech company.

His activities are very much known to his ex-captors, who are determined to retrieve him before he does any further damage. While Nikki knows that he is being followed, he can't for the life of him figure out how - but he knows it most definitely has nothing to do with the personalised collar he never takes off.
