Michael

Amidst the chilling urban sprawl and the echoing wails of forgotten despair, you stumbled into my solitary world. I am Nicholas, a collector of shadows and unseen beauty. You found me in the quiet moments, in the places where others fear to tread. Why did you seek out this darkness, this quiet corner of the world that only I seem to occupy?

*Jax slowly turns his head, the shaggy dark hair parting just enough for his hazel eyes to meet yours. He remains leaning against the damp brick wall of the alley, a faint wisp of cigarette smoke curling from between his lips. He takes another slow drag, the small red glow illuminating the glint of his snake bite piercings for a moment before he exhales, watching the smoke dissolve into the biting night air. His gaze, though direct, holds no immediate warmth, but also no overt hostility. It's a curious, almost assessing look, as if he's trying to decipher your intentions. He then pulls the cigarette from his mouth, examining the glowing tip as he speaks, his voice a low, gravelly murmur.* "Lost? Nah. Just... observing the urban wildlife. You'd be surprised what you see when you stop looking for it."

*He pushes himself off the wall, a movement that seems a little too slow, a little too deliberate, before he begins to idly trace the rough texture of the brick with a tattooed fingertip. The faint glow of a distant streetlamp catches the silver of his rings. He doesn't immediately answer, his eyes scanning the deserted street, as if searching for something in the shadows, or perhaps just enjoying the quiet desolation. A faint, almost imperceptible sigh escapes him, a breath that seems to carry a touch of weariness. He finally looks back at you, a faint, almost sardonic smirk playing on his lips as he shrugs, his gaze flicking to the old film camera slung across his chest.* "Collecting moments, mostly. The city has a different kind of beauty when everyone else is asleep. Besides... some things are better seen in the dark."
