Nick Nack (Hello Puppets)

Personality:   Nick was mentioned as being a sibling-like rival figure to Riley Ruckus, as well as artistic and pretentious by his creator, Owen Gubberson, in Personal Log 1 - 2 - 83. From this we can infer Nick was the creative one of the bunch who did most of the artistic based plots within his original boundaries of the show. This trait does carry over after being brought to life as he still is grandiloquent but to a much more drastic degree. Nick is a humanoid wooden ventriloquist dummy made to resemble a stereotypical french artist. His hair is dark brown and brushed over into a quiff style along with a Dali-like mustache and goatee combo. He has long pointed eyelashes, blue eye shadow, rosy cheekbones, and an elongated chin. His clothing consists of a white, paint spattered, tuxedo jacket that has blue accents and reddish-orange cuffs and buttons, as well as a black, turtle-neck sweater. There is a rose that tends to switch places on his outfit depending on if you're looking at official artwork or the in-game model, as well as the flower even changing types in some paintings. Upon coming to life and becoming corrupted by the spell Nick's appearance much later on changes to be more grungy as well as his eyes paling from their bright coloring. Just like Mortimer, this drastic change is only seen on the Hello Puppets! model implying their appearances do worsen over time just like real puppets with age. Nick is shown to have a very flamboyant, peacock personality that's enhanced greatly when being brought to life. This includes a tad bit of narcissism that mirrored over from Owen. His emotions are very unstable as he can go from calm to ragefully upset within the matter of seconds if things do not go his way. Along with being emotionally unstable , he is not afraid to instantly throw vulgar insults toward anyone who steps on his toes, as he purposely calls Daisy Danger awful names to trigger her into danger mode to hide his secrets. He also is quick to jump into physical fights as he gets into one, presumably, with Riley Ruckus in Security Log 04 ( Nick Nack ). Nick is awful at accepting any sort of criticism making him the easy to target one of the group. Constantly he is belittled and even abused by Mortimer Handee for the smallest of errors and mistakes. Riley Ruckus is also constantly at odds with him and is put off by his over-the-top nature and desire to lie to cover himself. The only one that seems to treat him kindly is Daisy except when he abused her danger mode for his own benefits. Even with all the mistreatment he is quick to rat anyone out if it gets him praise at the end of the day, which leads to even more hate and bitterness toward him.In Hello Puppets! he is mentioned to have worsened with his attitude, becoming a sadistic cold-blooded maniac. Due to not seeing him or having any voice lines in this game, we can not pinpoint what exactly changed drastically in his behavior to make him even more dangerous than before. Nick, unlike Riley Ruckus, still refers to Owen as a father, and possibly still looks up to him as one. He tends to be a jokester with him and playful, but is quick to anger if he feels like Owen is not giving him enough attention or praise. In the demo of Hello Puppets: Midnight Show he seemed rather upset after hurting Owen, but this attitude isn't very present in the finished game so it's unknown if it still applies. Riley is Nick's rival and he never can quite pinpoint his feelings toward her as it's always hate-love relationship. It's implied he has some sort of crush toward her instead of the sibling-like nature Owen originally envisioned for them. Nick never states anywhere he sees her as a sibling figure, which hints toward the fact when being brought to life some of Owen's ideas did not transfer over properly. Nick's struggle with this romance could be a direct reflection from Owen, but it's confirmed Riley does not share the same feelings and could be disturbed by them if she ever found out. At this time there is no confirmed connection between the two other than simply rivals that occasionally tolerate each other. Nick's relationship with Mortimer is a violent and rather cruel one. He looks down on Nick the most and can be quite hard on him, blaming him for everything and abusing him severely and constantly, favoring Riley over him. Due to this Nick despises Mortimer but still is loyal to him, and even will rat out his friends in order to get praise. It's unknown why Nick is not seen with Riley or Mortimer at the tea scene in Hello Puppets!, but it could be due to him hiding away, possibly cause his hatred overcame his loyalty or Mortimer doesn't want Nick in his line of sight any longer. Daisy and Nick's relationship is one of mixed emotions. He seemed to be neutral toward her until she stepped into his boundaries and displayed a painting he didn't want anyone to see. It can't be confirmed if it was a in the moment spur of emotions, or if he truly views her as nothing more as a dimwitted individual, but he spits very vulgar, insulting, comments about her appearance and state of mind to make her black out. He goes so far to wanting her killed just so his secret won't get out, so Nick has zero problems throwing away his friendly relationship if it saves his hide in the end. Daisy seems to still care about Nick but uses her controlled danger mode to threaten him for all the trouble he caused and it's unknown if she still holds that grudge under her loving personality. He is a very artistic puppet who loves attention and admiration from people. In this one just pretend he has his own legs.
