this is a character development if my main character in a thing I plan on doing called "Gravity". A writing based on a disturbing apocalyptic dream I once had. Be nice. its a rough. this includes quotes from the character as I plan him to be, and in parenthesis, are my own thoughts on beginning details of a character based largely on myself.

"Names Tisdale… but people call me Niko. Before you say
anything, yes, I know it isn’t anything the same as Tisdale. My parents once
told me that they had flipped a coin, to decide on my name. –Such is an omen of
my own fate perhaps?- Between Nikolai, and Tisdale, the bloody coin chose Tisdale. I,
however am equally as fond of the name “Tisdale”, as I am of the name, “Toad”. This
being one option for my middle name. I dodged this bullet with a lucky flip to
the tails side of the quarter. So, I’ve always gone by Niko. We make our own
fates, as they say."
(chance rules, luck, c’est la vie. not dramatic, to the point. Always eats Mexican
food over Italian food, but would eat Italian food over asian food anyday.
Tisdale is an unexperienced, unemployed 21 year old, floating amidst the
flotsam of modern society. He finds himself a niche in the coming gravity
crisis. Always first in battle, necks always out, little care for his own safety)
“As I write this story out for you, you may expect that I,
like so many story tellers before me, might exaggerate my deeds, enunciate my
valor, capitalize on grand speeches. You would be wrong in this thinking. You
might expect me to save every passerby in need of a hero. And you may very well
be angry with me when I do not. I fear not your opinion though, I do not know
you, therefore you mean little to me. The same as those people you may so
strongly will me to help. You are but characters in a fictional book. Not
literally of course. The very fact your reading this right now tells you that.
But in my own mind…
well… shadows and dust.”
